After getting more input and advice I rendered a new 3D image of my proscenium subwoofer project.
I am trading the opposite mount of the drivers and possible reduction/cancellation of vibration for a larger opening in the front of the stage.
I was advised that optimally, the opening should equal the "Sd" of the drivers, otherwise "compression" will occur.
Since the enclosure and drivers combined will weigh about 300 lbs, I'm not too worried about it walking across the floor on its own.
I'l be using a lot of internal bracing, so I'm not concerned about the vibration of the enclosure walls.
In any case, here is the most recent 3D rendering I made last night:
And here, a 3D rendering as re-drawn by AVS member Scott Vonhof showing the internal bracing as he envisioned it. I'll probably make openings in the bottom corners of the outermost front-to-back braces. he only showed the top part opened up as he cloned the part of the enclosure next to the drivers. I'll also make the brace between the drivers solid, and in that way, each half becomes its own sealed enclosure.
Scott Vonhof's rendering of my project:
I'll post actual pictures this weekend as the sawdust starts to accumulate.
Thanks to all for the suggestions and ideas. Special thanks to Scott Vonhof for his 3D rendering.
