Bracing depends somewhat on your cabinet material and thickness. A 3/4" mdf cabinet will need bracing every 14 inches or so. You can get around this to some degree if you saturate the inside of the cabinet with epoxy resin. The tweeter cabinet on top is a great idea. Build one for the stock tweet, maybe a foxtex horn tweet, and the Cantus ribbon...then you can swap as you please (good luck designing a crossover for each) and you have the ability to adjust the orientation of the tweeter separate of the woofers.
