I recently purchased a cheap tower speaker set which has two woofers per channel. This does not have a crossover circuit as i understand and only has a filter capacitor for the tweeter.
Can a three-way crossover design work in this instance? One woofer for bass and the other for midrange.
I presume the two woofers are of the same specifications. Is it better to send the full signal to both speakers or split the workload (bass/midrange) between the two?
The way to handle bass isn't to not use half the cone area available to drive it.
Guessing the tweeter dome to be one inch, the cone speakers seem to be about five inches.
That is exactly the size D'Appolito suggests - using a 4th order filter, easier to build as an "active" filter.
If the cones were larger, say, 8 inches, you would still use both for bass, but feed the midrange to just one of them.
A targeted(?) modification of an existing box (enclosure+filter+drivers) is quite an undertaking.
You added as model Fenton SHFT60B, which is described as bass reflex.
Using just one of the drivers for bass may require modifications to the bass reflex opening: Without acoustic decoupling/separate volumes the other driver will take the role of a passive radiator even driven by a low impedance source. With separation, the volume to interact with the reflex opening is reduced.
