Hi, search,

I did. I always search first.

But the pages of results that keep coming back in this instance are too long to sort through. If some one just had a link, or could point me to a resource it would be appreciated.

peace,

Generally, keep your drivers close together and try to place the tweeter at ear level.

what about tweeter to driver?

Distance between the tweeter and mid woofer should be equal to or less than 1 wavelength of the crossover frequency. Not always achievable, especially when crossing over high.

e.g. 3000Hz =< 4.5", 1500Hz =< 9", 5000Hz =< 2.7"

Keep all your drivers close together and if you have more than one of each kind make sure that all like drivers are aligned vertically.
