Kodomo, I know that you will try it. Let me to pitch you
another question to ask yourself while you will be experimenting with it. I,
BTW, never was able to find a final answer to myself and I might advocate both approaches
below.
Let pretend that you cross your bass drivers at 80 cycles and
you decided to multiply the bass cabinets, having one 2 bass modules per a channel
with 2 drivers per module. You have two option to do it. You can run all 4
drivers at 80Hz or you can run 2 drivers (of one module) crossed at 80Hz and another
2 driver (of a second module) to cross at let say 30Hz. By doing it you will introduce
essentially bass and ULF module.
I said that I can advocate both approaches. The first one is
better because it is easy. The second one is better because it gives enormous flexibility
to write acoustic signature to the specific acoustic demands of the room with
respect to given octave. You can go for different drivers, different enclosure topology,
different filtration, different amplification…You can spend months experimenting
with it… and this might be consider bad thing. Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
