Mounting tweeters over the woofer in a line array.
Just as a design idea, how bad of an idea would it be to mount the tweeter over the woofer in a 2way? In this particular case, it would be a line array. So there would be a 1.75" wide strip to which the tweeters would be mounted to, floating in front of the 4" midrange drivers. They would be actively crossed over at 3200hz (24dB).

Don't do that. It will interfere with the radiation pattern of the mid ranges.

Tweeters over woofers
I'm just starting one like that now - 36 Dayton Neo's suspended over 9 Peerless 850234 5.75" . I measured one of each, and the normally flat to 4k Peerless starts its rolloff at about 2500hz. Could be better, but not TOO bad. The tweeters will be in a piece of ceiling light grid with felt on the back of the tweeters.

First question you need to ask:
WHY would you want to do this? I could see the advantage in a "pseudo co-ax" but not in a line array.

Well...no real good reason. I just wanted to keep them very narrow and looking a little exotic. I already have the mids and most of the tweeters. They're in a U frame OB (avatar) at the moment. I'm just wondering what to expect, and if anybody else has done this.

aimed at you, then cover the midrange with a piece of wood similar to what you propose. Did you like the sound with the midrange covered? |
