Sorry this is so long, but I need some serious advice. ;x(
This forum has really great designs for speakers with crossovers for in-room or in-wall use. The question is, which to use in my application? I have a problem in that I don't know which sort of crossover to use and cannot properly design one on my own. :M
My situation is shown below. The first pictue is the front wall of the HT I am helping a friend complete. It is 12' high and 19' wide, has large windows and is made of concrete block. 8O
Unfortunately, the-one-who-must-be-obeyed has decreed that all speakers must be built in. So the only alternative is to build a sort of window box for the woofers and CC and some sort of cabinets for the L and R speakers. This is shown in picture two.
The situation is worse than it looks because the room is only 15'6" deep and that limits screen width so that the L and R speakers will be much wider than would otherwise be ideal. :E
At this point it seems the "window box" and vertical cabinets will be at least 12" deep and perhaps 18" deep. So the CC and L and R speakers will be faced with a wider than usual cabinet face and be stepped away from the wall by 12" to 18".
The question is which crossover should I use. One with the baffle step correction or one without? Probably something inbetween is right but I cannot design it so I guess the best bet is what I am looking for. :huh:
I am leaning toward the Natilie P and the WTMW CC that is soon coming and will use either four 12's or four 15's for the subs. :T
There are two more issues I need help with. They are the appropriate way to aim the L, R and CC toward the listener. With the CC so low, I suppose it needs some aiming. With the L and R so far apart, I suppose they need some aiming. Any suggestions on smart ways to do that will be appreciated. ;x(
If anyone sees problems with the concept or improvements or any warnings, please let me know. :lol:
Thanks for wading through this long post and thanks for such a great forum with all the helpful members here. :T
