Hi Folks,

Ive spent some time looking at the ideas and projects with the WAW concept. Since being recommended it on another thread. I have an Idea. I want to build a speaker with an 8 inch full range ( likeing the Lil Audio speakers at the moment) and an 8 inch subwoofer. crossed at say 200 hz

My question is, I'm not sure how to even model this much less the physical config. How do a figure the size of the box with 2 drivers?

My initial thought is a speaker on top of a tall rectangle cabinet and a sub on the bottom. Is this even a realistic Idea? I'm not exactly sure how 2 drivers in a box interact (didn't get that far in the speaker building book) ...

Can anyone shed some light?

In general, it’s fine to combine speaker cabinets when they are playing the same signal. If they are playing different things for example a midrange and a woofer, it’s best to keep them separate. That being said it never hurts to seperate, just cuz it means more bracing.

As for combined cabinet size, If 1 driver requires 10L of air, then two drivers will require 20L of air.

Hope that answers your question,
Michael

So I can "theoretically" model 2 drivers, --- 1 says 50 liters and the 2nd says 25 liters ... ergo --- a 75-liter cabinet is correct?
