Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

RE: Help with calulating a quad speaker sealed enclosure

For sealed, you just calculate for one driver, then multiply the volume by four. You'd need about100litres or 4 cubic feet per driver, they'd roll off gently below about 75Hz. There's nothing wrong with having multiple drivers in the same cabinet.

An open baffle with fairly deep wings / an open backed cab would probably get similar performance for less trouble. A 400 litre sealed box is pretty hefty.

With a cross arrangement, you have the issue that when the listener moves from side to side, the path length between the speakers and her ears changes (more than with a vertical line), so you'd probably want to use the lateral drivers for bass only.

By 'aru' if you mean a resistive vent, these reduce the volume required for sealed boxes, not not hugely.
