RE: Bass panels one after the other?

Sure You can drive 2 panels with 1 amp! No problem at all!!!

If You are serious with low frequency reproduction with a Magnepan dipole, You have to use panels without tuning buttons.
If You have tuning buttons You will restrict movement at each place a button is placed and thus the whole membrane will NOT move as 1.

1 tuning button will render about 2/3 of usable membrane the rest is downforced by its own mounting at the surround AND the button creating a curved movement. So in practice, to say that the whole of the membrane is usable as bass reproduction is EXTREMELY faulty reasoning as it does NOT move like a piston at all!!!
Only the center of the membrane is close to a piston movement and the rest is a declining function of a curve.

Cheers!

The one who succeeded was the one who didn't know it was impossible.
