Hello again.
My parts arrived for the Classix build. Thanks everyone for the help earlier this month.
I am getting ready to start building the Cabs but I have a few questions before I start.
First off,... I am 6'4" tall with bad knees so my furniture is rather tall (Sitting on blocks). Also the position of the speakers in room will be approximately four feet from the end of two coutches that run along the sidewalls of my living room.
This puts me in a bit of a conundrum. The cabs are to be 34" tall if I stick with Pauls suggested cab design. I have measured and that puts the tweeter WELL below my ear level and very close to below the arms of the couch's.
So I was just going to build them with a false bottom (empty space).... and that got me to thinking.
1... Is it possible to make the Cabinets deeper but shorter to turn them into a rather large bookshelf style, and if so... How deep can I go without significantly altering the performance, if it all??
2....I am also wondering if it can be made deeper and shorter with a the false bottom and add a sub into both cabs.??
Or would this be overkill since the The Classix 2.5 dig rather deep already??
I was looking at the 8"classic Subwoofer as well as others.....

And it looks like in a .90cubic foot cabinet tuned to 34hz with a 2.5" x 12" port mite work well... but again is it really needed? it just seems like wasted space
I have looked at the math and I can make the upper part, with the required internal volume, 26"t x 12"d x 6.5"w giving me a volume of 1.17cf.... pretty deep I know
Then making the bottom volume 21t x 12d x 6.5w for an internal volume of .947cf
This would be a big speaker but I am a big man and it puts the Classix drivers in a better position for me.
Still.... getting back to my original question, is it going to enhance low end performance or get in the way??
I dont want to destroy the spirit of the design just to make use of space however it does have a practical use as well since the 34" height would need to be raised in one way or another any way.
I am open to any and all thoughts and perspectives. Thanks guys.
