Hi.
I was going to build ported towers for my 2x Tangband W6-658A mids, but came across the MLTL design.
I'm still not a pro with Hornresp, but I can functionally use it pretty well.
I used the input wizard to make a mass loaded transmission line and put in 2 of those mids, and the default settings already looked very good. The default was 58l big and my ported optimum size was 50l so not that far.
I was wondering how the placement of the drivers affects the end result. As this is an offset-driver design, where the driver should be placed right, to cancel the first peak in the response.
I haven't decided between an MTM or 2.5-way design yet, so I might just put the tiny tweeter in between the mids, to be able to test both scenarios myself, as the tweeter is only 54mm wide (pre-designed crossoverpoint is 2.8kHz as the tweeter Fs is 1.4kHs as seen in the impedance graph)
If the drivers shouldn't be that far from each other vertically, should I place them next to each other, with the tweeter on top, in the valley between?
Then, should the port be facing the front, back or down? And will I get more output with MLTL than ported? I have 120Wrms @8 Ohms and 170Wrms@ Ohms on tap.
