DD, noticed it was for wo. I still think it's worth a try because it can be made into a stock unit if it fails (trimming off mouths appropriately, glue together, use another top and bottom layer -maybe 1/4"-1/2"-to hold it together...). The cab should reduce to ~ 24"h (?) on it's side with mouth at floor, good for ob monitors on top (decouple if needed).
I also used stereo 12" subs with Fostex ob's crossed~ 150hz. Used FE167e's and dual FE107e's (liked 'em better). Both in very small ob's, idea a variation of Olsher's Bass Zilla. Last year I had a big room - 24 x 30 x 12h- so I could go big. Now I have small room -11.5 x 26 x 7.5'h, system on one 11.5' end. I need to go small, but want as full bass range as possible.
Need room treatment and am working that up, but still I think wo32 sq will work, using Vifa M22's (8's). Have other 8's to try that aren't designed as sub drivers like M22 is, they might be friendlier.
I'm now using B200, it has real bass (just like Nigel told me!) but not tight enough here, so trying wo32, with B200 in small ob on top. Will bring out the Fostex 107's again to try too. Also making (if can get to it) tl for same 8's to compare to wo32. I was into tl's in late 80's when Speaker Builder mag showed designs by Galo, Cockroft,etc. Using tl booklet (Quick and Easy TL Speaker Design,by Larry Sharp/Mahogany Sound) for down and dirty get something together method. Also 8" version of Nelson Pass el pipo can be done in an hour or two, got the sonotube and stuffing.
Last year I didn't get many projects done, then moved and didn't listen to audio for 6+ months until last month. I'll see how far my re-energized ambitions can go this time.
