First off I have never attempted this before and do not fully understand all numbers involved.... However I think KISS ( keep it simple stupid)
My idea is based on 12" woofer size 3 way. Cabinet idea is to give every driver the reccomended cab volume completely seperated ( in the same cabinet) with the mid and tweet spaced higher above the woofer instead of all evenly spaced as so many I have seen. Bringing the highs closest to ear level. So far in drivers I am looking at the following woofers
express.com/dayton-audio-dsa315-8-12-designer-series-aluminum-cone-woofer--295-534
And https://www.parts-express.com/dayton-audio-ds315-8-12-designer-series-woofer-speaker--295-434
The tweeter im looking at is
express.com/eminence-apt-80-super-tweeter-with-80-degree-conical-horn--290-532
So far cab outside dimms are 16x16x36. Using 1" mdf. Now I may have them veneered or i may do my crazy idea and make rustic like my home n mancave in progress. Rustic will have 3/4 " pine board covering the outside. Glued to the mdf. Stained and polyed. It would be different for sure and add damping as well. ....anyways I need help choosing a mid driver and crossover. Also my woofer compartment is planned to have the volume to be ported. Not sure how to figure port size either..... Now.... This plan may be all wrong, as i have never done this, nor do I know alot about it..so bear with me..im here to learn
