HISTORIC SPEAKER ENCLOSURE DESIGN DRIVER
Adding a second driver doesn't simply mean you should double the box and port sizes.

Two woofers could be used to help with the fact that the woofers have lower power handling than the other drivers in this system and two woofers will also help in the low end frequencies.

This design also leverages the fact that the top chambers are smaller (our midrange chamber needs to be small) so that the mid chamber can extend to the full depth of the speaker. The math in calculating chamber volume gets a little more complicated, but the build may get simpler with having only one angled side. In this design, only the front board is angled.
When flush mounted to a vertical piece of wood, the woofer will be a couple of inches behind the mid & tweeter. In an ideal speaker configuration, the back of each speaker cone lines up vertically.
Note: the woofer will be ported in all of these design options, even when it isn't shown.
