Default Centre, speaker - twin drivers, use one enclosure or two separateenclosures side by side?

Interesting thought. Does that not kill the electrical damping from the
amp, as at resonance each speaker sees mainly the impedance of the other
speaker


** Nonsense.

The two drivers do not act independently so no such scenario can exist.


Just found my copy of the Loudspeaker Design Cookbook. Perhaps I ought
to re-read part of it.

Won't mean a thing to a narcissistic, know nothing nutter like you.
