HW - For 'high efficiency' one would probably want the
whole 'baffle' full of drivers

Well, that would certainly be one way to do it. But your picture showed one driver on a very large baffle. That is what generated my comment.

What does "RBNG" mean?

My post was a response to R ichard B ass N ut G reen. Kinda like this response is to H its W are :-).

HW - You think you would have much distortion with
(from the standpoint of a 4' x 4' baffle)
(only considering the low end)
say 16 8" drivers with a Q ~ 2
(at a moderate level) ???????

Carefully read what I said. "Someone who appreciates high levels of *driver* distortion."
I said a 2.0 Qts *driver* would have high distortion. Not 20 of them combined LOL. That would certainly help lower distortion! If you were going to take the multi driver approach, use several HE drivers in a vertical array on your sidewalls.
