Passive baffle step compensation

I am looking to get 2-3db of baffle step compensation on my MTMs, however i am unsure how to achieve this in a passive crossover, any pointers?

Using some baffle step simulation programs can get you pretty close the first try. I would recommend trying more than one to see how results compare.

I was just about to say that. I am particularly sceptic towards rules based on the baffle width only. It seems as if these rules are based on rather rough comparisons with a driver mounted in a sphere.

You could try "The Edge" in my signature, but there are more programs out there too.
