It has to be a gentle curve to work with the tweeter so to have any depth it ends up being very wide.
I made a small waveguide that fits the same diameter of the face plate for someone else who made it. It is better than no waveguide but the native cabinet edge diffraction needs to be accounted for much more with such a small waveguide.

When I said "the deeper the dome, the better", I actually meant "the wider radiation pattern". It wasn't the right choice of words, as it doesn't have to be better in the end...
But if that's what you want, look for the deepest dome you can get. That will work even without any additional phasing plugs.

I really look forward to when I find time to get into these simulations ... at the moment I only have to admire your great work with these simulations! 👍
Hi 👋🏻 I know it’s a long shot but, do you think it’s a good idea to use a 10 inch version of your waveguide to match the directivity of a 10-inch woofer crossed around 1200-1300 Hz? If so, how can I do it? I want to give T34B a shot but they are very rare and expansive. So it would be good to start with something solid 😅
T34A is really better suited for smaller and shallow waveguides. What you plan comes closer to a shallow horn as a classic waveguide ;-)
T34B can be ordered but it's about 1000,- for a pair.
Get the right drivers for your concept - everything else is more expensive in the long run.

Do you think it’s a good idea to use a dome tweeter and 10 inch waveguide to match 10 inch woofer? ı can decide on the A-B variant afterwards.
(I know I wrote too many 10 inches hahah)
Yes, I would use a horn/waveguide similar to the midrange/woofer. Probably an 8" would do fine as long as the tweeter can go low enough with enough SPL in that area.
But the type of waveguide you use defines the tweeter you need! The A version will make problems in a big waveguide! (and then it's wasted money for an otherwise very fine tweeter)
