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

Just as a thought, have you considered trying one or both
speakers (series or parallel) on an open baffle to see what
they sound like? If you are not wanting bass then a piece of
wood maybe a foot or so square might be a starting point?

I once tried it with a drawer from an old dresser which had
a thicker than might be expected floor panel. Worked
surprisingly well.


Have done that. Two bass / mids mounted with tweeter on a piece of
kitchen counter top. Mid-woofers in series but with 2x6.8uF cap across
one. Somehow it sounds a bit 'boxy'. Mid range seems accentuated. I'll
have to wire the drivers in parallel and see what happens. I wonder if
this is an effect of the baffle arrangement or a fundamental limitation
of the drivers.
