A 500 Hz wave is 2.26 feet long, speaker alignment within about 6.78 inches (1/4 wavelength) is "close enough" at that frequency.many thanks for your reply bart , 500 hz crossover , I thought the phase shift beniffits would out weigh the differance , the mid and tweet are serface mount.
Generally speaking, a front mounted speaker has less diffraction problems than rear mounting.unfortunately its 800 hz 1.4 ft long gives me 4", about an inch out, may have to fix outside after all.
will this affect res freq ?
Frequency response should be the same, other than the change from the slight cabinet volume increase.
I'm not the expert here and I can't help you with calculations but the tweeter should be mounted backward too if you're concerned with phase issues.
I know I have an example in some magazine but right now no time to search...
