Apologies up front in case this is the wrong forum or a question thats been answered many times.
Im hoping thre answer is "not significantly" so i dont have to do too much woodworking. Most of what i read is about how cabinets impact the mids and lows.
The tweeter would be supplenting my full-range system, a Thirlmere-R cabinet with chbw70 drivers, which is why Im posting here. it woukd be in its own cabinet, sitting on top 9f the thirlmere-r.
I want the tweeter to help in the 4kHz-15kHz range (i doubt can hear above 15kHz). I'd usd a simple crossover circuit. I can scavenge some infinity emits from another speaker pair that im not too fond of. ive read the emits are excellent tweeters.
i dont want to go crazy here, just add some support on the high end.

Those the ones i shipped east?
I would either mount as close to the the CHPW as you can convieniently achieve
Alternatively a little L-shaped tweeter holder sitting on top.
The baffle provides a 2∏ steri-radian space to radiate into. At some point anything traveling along the baffle will hit the edge and (potentially) cause a reradiation.
There are long thread son that subject.

The article is a useful one on how to deal with the transtion in the CHp/CHBW fall off at 5k.

Thirlmere-R
If these ar ethe ones we did, we pushed the drivers closer to the top.

Hmm, ~13543/pi/4000 = ~1.078" dia., 15 kHz = ~0.287" dia. and assuming a 2nd order XO; ~13543/pi/2000 @ -12 dB/octave = ~2.155" dia., so a traditional size tweeter suspended in free space is large enough to support its BW and it was common to add some damping around it to somewhat isolate it from larger driver baffle generated reflections.
