Illuminati (33rd Degree)

I think you are talking about two 18" woofers with their edges 4" to 6" apart, so roughly 22" to 24" center-to-center. If that's so, you can calculate the angle where the nulls will be at their maximum using the formula below:

a = arcsin (λc/2d₁)

where:

d₁ is the center-to-center distance between sound sources
λc is the wavelength
a is the half-angle between nulls (2a is the arc between nulls)

so:

d₁ = 0.61m (24") between the woofer centers
λc = 0.43m (17") wavelength of 800Hz
a = 20° or 2a = 40° (arc between nulls)
