I think that maybe the question part is along the lines of, "Will it work?"

I would have to say, "Yes, it should work in this enclosure a bit more predictably than in most other designs available for a similar price."


As far as the second "question,"  I think it is more close to the original driver than the first .  Not that you have a specific one better than the other, but simply different. I think that they will both work and the difference will be within the range of corrections available in almost any decent subwoofer amplifier.

Either one would work but I am leaning toward the XLS for the WO36. The other sub looks better suited for the WO32 but that is just my opinion. What about this:

I am a big fan of the HO series and have never been let down by their performance or price yet.

DVCs offer multiple connections for different amp needs, and also more power handling. The SPL is a little low but HOs love power and that is usually what it takes to overcome the SPL issue. Don't get me wrong the XLS is a highly regard subwoofer and I have never heard any complaints about it. I have often eyeballed the XLS wondering if my next build would work better with it than the HO. Let me know what you decide.



HT-EXT

Yes, you can but it will prolly be a tight fit even with the baffle angled. My first WO was loaded with some cheap MCM tens and then I step up up to two HOs. I remember reading you lose about 3db when you clamshell subs but it helps with distortion and efficency. I think???

I know this is in the HWK forum but when clamshelling subs it will have the same affect in any type enclosure.

Due to the fact you are running four subs instead of two it takes double the power to hit the same SPL. From my experince it is better to invest in two real good subs than four cheapos.
