What is “terminal tripath”? Can’t seem to find it in the thread above.
I put dividers in the line to make three parallel lines with different taper ratios. I tried two lines today but the benefit was slightly reduced and dual taper doesn’t sound as cool.
Progress today. Some things need to be changed. They have much higher sensitivity but they sound shouty compared to my Morel two way. The rear mounted nature of the design caused some reinforcement in places that seem impossible to remedy. I intend to make a low profile measurement stand for large speakers that I can stuff away under a futon, and retake some better polars. I measured the woofers together
and I think it would be better to measure them separately and then load into VCAD, especially if I want to try it as a 3 1/2 way
I was kindof worried about that when you mentioned rear mounting… BUT you seemed to have rebated them pretty far up into the material that left pretty minimal resess IMO. I find 3-was to be just dang ornery to work with. That is why I have quite the love-hate relationship with them. They have such high potential, but alot of potential to misbehave too. Takes alot of effort to reign them in compared to a 2-way, which is usually alot more straight forward.
I am finding that out those same things
Just gotta show them you are more stubborn than they are. Eventually you will hear something that tells you that you are on the right track. Sometimes it takes blowing a massive hole in your understanding and relearning everything you thought you knew about the subject. That happened to me several times.

I was thinking that would be the case because Sound waves are spherical.
