Hello all. This is the forum I found for multiway tweeters, in my case, identical ones used as upper midrange tweeters between a 6.5" woofer and a 3" plate tweeter.
I know it's not really a Tekton rig, but am looking for advice.
My plan is 2 six and a half midranges, crossed to each other at 400-600 hertz. Beside them in a vertical line will be five metal dome tweeters. There will be an upper and lower pair series parallel wired to maintain a nominal 6 ohm impedance.
A single tweeter will be between them, also at 6 ohms. I'm thinking of a 2 slope crossover between the tweeters and tweeter-mids at about 4000 hertz, and between the woofers and mid-tweeters at about 1750 .The woofers will likewise be split at 400 to 500 hertz first order.
These will be on a folded try baffle, two 12" x0.75" x46" pieces at 90° with an integral plate acting as a plinth.
Roundovers everywhere, including the back of the woofer cutouts.
These drivers are all pretty flat, about an octave and a half or more above and below the crossover ponuts. I will most likely do a stereo amp per channel, with a bass plate amplifier and an active crossover, to simplify for me volume settings for an already existing bass panel, and the new mains.
In the past, I've futzed around with passive padding to match levels, but I got hurt months ago, and need an easier build.
I am probably choosing this configuration because I like the sound of open baffle, lower Doppler distortion from a split midrange, a line looking array to limit upper midrange dispersion, while extending the tweeter out put a bit lower with less phase damage from a shallower slope.
Too weird, or damn the torpedoes?
