I have NO idea whatsoever how to make this work....or IF it would work. That the panels can go together any of 4 ways, is simple geometry.
How much space between 'em? Good question! And, for THAT matter, I don't even know what difference the amount of air trapped between drivers would make! Also, could you get the panels close enough together for the Magnets to interact......badly?
But the good news, for me, is that since I can ONLY afford the panels I already OWN, I'm not IN the market for Isobaric Magnepans! (Huge sigh of relief)
My first take would be to go whatever the 'easy' way was. Build a 2x6 frame, route the panel depth on both sides, and mount 'em both pole piece out. Wire 'em in SERIES out of phase. That'll get you to about 8 ohms, fairly flat and needing a couple hundred watts MINIMUM. These would also be a 'natural' for bi-amping. Since I think........(memory....memory?) that you gain about 3db sensitivity in such a situation, you might be OK with only 2x your current amp......Still a bunch.
You'll be a candidate for a tight fitting sleeveless jacket before you're done. And, living in your car with a couple cats. or a Rat Terrier named 'Moe'.
Too much is never enough
