What happens to T/S for dual horn drivers? [message #18915]

I ran across a reference in some EV EVX-155/150 driver documentation that certain T/S specs "change" when dual drivers are used in a single cabinet, such as the Fs lowers a tad, and the Vas changes - however, the dual driver reference was given for a rather large enclosure volume of 10 or more cu. ft., so I don't quite understand how to apply this to my needs.

I'm planning on a front-loaded dual 15" horn setup, and was wondering what the effects of 2 (same) drivers in a combined back chamber are and what needs to be taken into account T/S wise as far as calculations for "proper" annulling where dual drivers are concerned.

My approach so far has been to figure everything for a single driver and double it (or halve it, depending) as needed, but now I'm not so sure, in light of the EV documentation.

Is this going to cause annullment "issues"?

I read somewhere that the coupling which occurs in the rear chamber of a (bass) cabinet has minimal effect, so why not simply separate the drivers with an internal baffle? That way, you can design according to the unmodified T/S parameters. I'll leave annulment to the horn gurus!
