Bracing a dipole subwoofer
«

I am building a w-frame dipole subwoofer variant. It's made to sit in the corner and
based off of a plan from Audioxpress in 2004.
My question is about bracing. I would like to brace from panel to panel but am wondering if this will harm sound quality as the brace will be in the cavity. See plan view drawing.
I am also considering adding strips of 1x2 to the exterior to stiffen up the panel.
Any thoughts?

I would skip the bracing, and make the panels thicker. Add another layer on the outside, you should be fine then. It will also look better.

Interesting design. It could be a monster with appropriate room EQ.
edit: Sorry, I made too hasty a post (and would delete it if that function were available).
On further scrutiny, I am not interested; the design looks flawed.
