Dual Woofer Floor Standing Speakers
« on: 20 Feb 2022, 02:48 pm »
I started my first speaker design course in Feb. '21 and have since made 4 pairs of speakers including an awesome 12" sub. I've got the bug!!

Now, I feel up to a new challenge and I am looking for some advice as noted below (do not need step-by-step info but some guidlines/links to good articles, etc...). First, the project: floor standing, high-end speakers with 2 woofers each + tweeter + bass reflex, high end wood veneer finish.

Advice needed:
- how to design the dual woofer system? Am assuming wired in parallel, have read info that they should be in a separate box self-contained inside the speaker box itself? I believe Vas is 2x so that is what I enter into design calculation software (WinISD)?
- type of crossover? Next course I take will involve Xsim. Is this all I need to do and can figure it out with some knowledge and experience?
- am leaning towards Dayton Esoteric woofers (5.5" or 7") x 2 plus higher end tweeter TBD (Morel408, for example). Any thoughts?

Once again, a bit of a newbie but through experience and networks like this, I ma fast gaining a good understanding of speaker design and construction.

Thanks

Welcome to AC  :thumb:
VAS is not the recommended box volume only the air volume equivalent to the compliance, the recommended box volume is a range value (minimum, medium and max) to BR or sealed.
