the brains behind it all
Temporarily unemployed Velodyne in music setup.First and foremost let me state unequivocally I know just enough to be dangerous, but I keep trying to learn.
Now I understand your query me thinks. The baffles are 35.5"s wide with wings as seen in the second pix. With passive crossovers, the bass sounded very good at low levels but lacking authority at my listening position. More volume just exasperated the problems,e.g. boom, muddy and the likes. After switching out the 15"s for the 10"s and extending the wings 6"s deeper is when I noticed the potential. I dumped the passive xos and notch filters for the active xo. Having absolutely NO experience with an active and unable to locate any documentation on this particular unit, it's been adjust, listen, readjust, scratch head hard, repeat as required.
Sunday was the first day I was able to have a couple fresh set of ears give them a listen. They (one being a musician) seemed to really enjoy them.
I've been attempting to find the optimum xo points via the active crossover for best output at approximately 9' to my listening position. The room measures 13' w x 18' long. The baffles are 3' wide and are 3' from rear wall and 6' V.C. to V.C. and I honestly don't have a clue as to what my settings "should be" but the current settings seems to keep the high end from beaming and glaring but still have excellent cymbal and brush reproduction with the bottom being authoritative and tight.

and something else just occurred to me;
I demand my systems be able to perform at rock concert sound levels without breaking up and distorting all too shit. I demand it of my system in my Tundra as well. I don't listen at those levels but it's like how my scooters are; when I twist the wick I want to feel the Gs and do triple digits on the speed gun. Do I ride like that every day, HELL NO, I want live. I maybe nuts but I'm not crazy! When the urge strikes to choke the living shit out the throttle and the open road obliges, we go!

I understand what you're trying to do, but you can't achieve rock concert levels without a huge baffle (more than 20 ft in all directions), an enclosure or a compression chamber and horn. Without acoustic separation, the front and rear of the woofer cone are working against each other. You can create movement (and breakup) at low frequencies, but not significant SPL.
As for the asphalt, this is triple digits! :)

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in one pretty and well-preserved piece, but to slide across the finish line broadside, thoroughly used up, worn out, leaking oil, and shouting GERONIMO!
