Default Tri-Trix into Open Baffle Design

A year ago I built a tri-trix speaker set and must say they souond way better than the money I spent. Recently, I have the itch to go a step up. Would it be practical and desirable to use the tri-trix MTM over an cylindrical H-baffled emminence 15A (may be two of them) or one of the highly acclaimed Accoustic Elegance speakers - effectively making an open baffled speaker system. I would enclose the MTM to get more detailed sound. The idea would be to make the speaker look like a guitar as shown in the attachment. How do I calculate this in Martin King's worksheets? Thanks in advance,
Salsero

Is "tri-trix" the same as "tractrix"?

Default Tritrix clarified

Tritrix were initially designed by Curt Campbell and can now be bought form Parts express as a kit -->

TriTrix MTM TL Speaker Package: Cabinet Kit and Components | tritrix tritrix mtm tritrix mtm tl transmission line recession buster RB kit recession buster kit recession destroyer kit tritrix mtm kit tritrix kit speaker kit tri trix madisound cnc cabi

The idea would be to actively cross over the tritrix and the emminence or acoustic elegance woofer at 150hz. I would then drive the tritrix with a tube amp and the woofer with a plate amp.

The tritrix MTM would be placed over the woofer in a sealed enclosure. The woofer would be placed beneath in an cyclindrical H-baffle. The resulting look would be that of a banjo.

I am trying to figure out whether this would be worthwhile. How can I model this?

Alternatively, I would use a Full Range Fostex or Jordan for the highs.

Thanks for any feedback
