baffle width to minimize lobing in 1.5 way?

[AudioGeek]

so i have a 1.5 way speaker with a alpair 10p. My thoughts are that if i choose a narrow enclosure then the BSC compensation would be at a higher frequency and there would be a potential lobing between the 2x 10p. At a wider enclosure the BSC would be lower and there would be less potential for lobing between the 2 drivers.

So should i really be concerned about lobing between fullrange drivers operated as a 1.5 way?

Is there an ideal baffle width?

Thank you for any input.

I my self wouldnt be that concerned about the two small widerangers playing together up to 800hz.
Tried 800hz with two Coral 8f60 drivers and I found it more positive vs 200hz. Those where the only xo point I tried.
If you have dsp I would go wide baffle and high xo (800hz~isch) and tone it down with dsp if needed.

Not saying 800hz is ideal. Just that it might be worth trying a higher xo point for the ”filler” driver if you have DSP possibilities.

thanks for your response. i should just run some frequency sweeps and see if i can hear any lobing effects.
