OS center kit as a tower? tmmmm

[kenrhodes]

Is this worth doing or should I just make a bass bin? mtmmm or tmmmm? Thanks.

I believe it could work just fine for music. However it would have to be MTMMM or MMTMM. TMMMM won't work.

It's going to need a sub, crossed at 100 Hz or so.

And just for our collective understanding...

An MTMMM works because you retain the C-C distance among the drivers involved in the tweeter crossover. This occurs at frequencies close to 1/2 wave C-C distance, making driver spacing criticial. In contrast, you have flexibility in the 0.5 driver pair placement due to the relatively long wavelength at which their output falls off.

That's also why a MMTMM works.

In a TMMMM, you fail to retain the spacing between the top tweeter and the second mid in the 2-way section, resulting in lots of wave interferece (aka lobing) around the crossover frequency.

Have fun,
