Why not putting it here ?
The more fundamental before to reinvent the wheel is to know how much people interrested but the op, if it needs funds like in the OSMC or if people can help if they have the drivers talked with their own measurement (a little risky but gives an idea like the sim in Vituix with the T&S library datas.
Then a basic poll if enough people are interrested to check the budget and the size wished by them.
It worked well for the OSMC and the docs were shared on fly before the pdf paper. Post 1 can be reedited little by little.
just my 2 cents

Check my graphics. I show the SB34NRXL75-8 in a vented box of 75 liters. Response looks good to me.
Confluence seems to be a full blown project management tool. Github more a way to share files in a project directory.
I don't know about others but for decades I have created a folder for each project with notes, doc, papers, src, scripts, sims, www, etc... in it. I was intending to use github to do something similar for the project and share it. When working on my desktop I edit content in vscode and press a preview button to build a documentation website locally. I guess there will be another button to push the local website to github but I haven't got that far yet. A simple and efficient way to work if the task is to edit a few text files to run simulations and create documentation. But it requires setting up and for those used to working with complex GUI programs that internalise data rather than editting text files it may seem a bit geeky.
Perhaps a casual hobby project like this would benefit from project management tools. Perhaps the idea of pushing and pulling files from github is something a fair few don't want to do. I'm not sure. Is confluence ia good idea? Is github a good idea? Or are there better ones?
yes, but you need extra volume for the port, the bracing and the mid cabinet in that total cabinet. So total volume will be larger, much larger. But if that is no problem within the concept, it can work. 100L is not enormous, it could be something like 75x45x37.5cm with 18mm wood (to give an id). I'm just pointing to that, and that it's a bit larger than originally wanted. With the SB34NRX75-6 you can stay within the original size limit as you can have a sealed response of 40Hz F3.
If that is needed, is something that should be decided (but not by me).
Github is made for coders and not userfriendly for non coders. Not everybody in this hobby has the skills to deal with that site, many are not that experienced with computers actually.
Ideal would be something like MS sharepoint (paying and expensive). I don't know confluence but if it's something like a sharepoint site where you can easely add documents, but also can manage who uploads to where and can see what, it could be a good thing.
But i'm used to work with sharepoint, and mangage it (as i work as IT support & system engineer). I don't know alternatives, i'm professionally almost only working in MS enviroments as my customers want to use that.

Looked for wikis and it turns out github repositories come with a wiki enabling content to be entered via a web browser pretty much as it is done here. Seems to be a fair few posts about moving confluence content to github wikis and vice-versa which is perhaps encouraging. I guess one would still need a github account but an account is likely to be needed whatever software is used. Is this perhaps worth considering as a solution?
Just throwing it out there, but Microsoft Teams is a great collaboration tool, can chat, share files, have conf calls and all that and there is a free consumer edition.
I use the pro version all day everyday, but then I do work for the company that makes it 🙂.
Might not suit everyone, but it is free and very easy to use.
OneDrive can also work via shared folders, but I haven’t tried this outside of the corporate environment, but AFAIK it should work for this type of project.

Re: woofer selection
Everyone likes going (window or online) shopping for drivers. Especially when it is someone else's money.
But unless you already have the drivers, one alternative is to decide on cabinet size FIRST. eg. size of speaker ie. external dimensions, to +/-1 inch, which determines internal volume first (+/- 1/8 cu ft).
After then our brains trust can offer some recommendations of woofer's they've used.
There are even at least 2 tools that can automate this, somewhat.
Reverse SpeaD (commercial)
Speakerboxlite (adware)

MS teams uses Sharepoint (for the pro version) or onedrive (for the consumer version) as storage for the files, but makes them easier accessible in the program. Teams does not have a storage on it's own, it just can read the folder structure and link the files from another system like the windows file explorer does from your HD's You need an windows or office365 account (and licence) to really use that file sharing system. The chat module is free, but not all the functions are.
The owner can define access. The link can be put in a public place -- like the first post, which can then be edited/changed as needed.
It would seem nobody else is in favour of running the project in the way that has become almost universal with open source projects. I presume this is due to unfamiliarity rather than poor experience (?) but I think it is likely wise to have no significant barriers to contributing for a relatively casual hobby project like this.
I think it is likely wise for all tools to be cross platform (Windows, Apple, linux) and all files to be in a format that is straightforward to convert should the project become more serious with people wanting to migrate to a tighter system for easier collaboration.
The google tools for sharing files and writing basic documents are cross platform, straightforward to use and being suggested by one or two. Anyone have experience with the collaborative aspects with the free versions?
How cross platform are the MS equivalent tools? Do they require a Windows account or a general account to use.
Is dropbox or equivalents worth considering?

A bit more thought on how this might work. Github (or equivalent) could be retained for larger more formal documentation and collecting relevant small programs. The google tools (or equivalent) for collecting notes, spreadsheets, plots,... and the sort of information that gets hard to find and compare in a monster thread on diyaudio such as some of the graphs above, lists of useful speakers with links,... The reason I would like to retain github in a secondary role is so that the project can have a website. Does this seem a reasonable way forward?
We need a name for the project:
any more suggestions? Is a poll worthwhile or will we end up with Boaty McBoatface?
- ApeCrate
- MonkeyMonitor

AC or MM. Can we grow the second to MMM or even MMMM? What would add an E to AC? Or a DC?
