I want to first thank Jon Marsh for uniting the thread for me.
1st question. Am I out of wack with my science thinking that the directional line of intersection of the individual speakers is important? Note the curved line in the drawings.
2nd question, yes that is the port alongside the tweeter, since I planned to house the crossovers behind and within the upper cabinet for accessability, is this that bad?
3rd question, If in fact I return the port to the rear, can I end it at the absolute back of the box, effectively shortening that section inside the box, or does it have to be fully set within the interior of the cabinet itself?
I see so many different new designs from manufacturers and DIY people that at times seem to contradict each other, such as tilted up, tilted forward, straight up, set back from the woofers. Hard to know what really works.
My inclination is to build the middle side view with the front looking like it is shown. The forward tilt in the MTM is 4 degrees and the up tilt to the bottom box is 10 degrees up. Any thoughts?
I am getting very close to at least doing the front baffles for the MTM. I have in my possession 1 3/4" solid mahogany that I will glue up. This will allow me to incorporate my sliced edges very simply.
I intend to build just the MTM first, so if possible, I might be able to send them somewhere to get tested.
Jon, I have your complete thread on the Modula's, is there one crossover in particular you think I should build which would adapt better to this design out of all the changes you went through?
FYI, the MTM cabinets have a volume of 1.028646 cubic ft inside.
