Each 6dB/oct adds to the phase.
At some frequencies the phase adds up to 180°
Then no sound at those frequencies (at 180° the sound cancel).
How many would each 6dB/oct add to the phase exactly?
With a second order x-over there's the same problem (W/T out of phase), isn't there? Is the phase of the tweeter 90 or 180 degrees different from the phase of the woofer?
regards
Each 'order' or 6dB causes 90 degrees phase shift max. Using odd electrical slopes is often done to end up with a matched acoustical slopes. In the case mentioned the bass-mid driver might be rolling off naturally at the crossover frequency, so only needs a 12dB/oct filter to net an overall 18dB/oct acoustic response, which matches up with the tweeter.
