In a 2-way, imagine a loudspeaker crossing 18db @ 1.2khz to the tweeter.
I’d like to add a bass box to run alongside of the 2-way loudspeaker.
Another woofer with a single inductor (to add bass or baffle step).
That inductored woofer run in parallel with the entire 18db crossed 2-way loudspeaker.
I’m thinking no because every 90 degrees is more delay.
So the 18db crossed woof would be delayed by ¾ wavelength while the 6db baffle step woofer would only be ¼ wavelength delayed…….
They would be 180 degrees out.
Sounds about right ?

You've now made it clear that you were interested in the 1k2 2-way crossover interacting with the 200Hz 0.5-way.
I've made it clear that the polarity of your 18dB crossover is a factor and you might tell us which it is.
Do you have some measurements or further relevant information, or are sims sufficient? Would you like to see other kinds of sim?

An 18dB crossover alone, is proof that you can have phase not lining up and still get good results.
Ok, so your lobes will point up or down, maybe that's a good thing, it depends on the situation.
Once the levels drop far enough, phase really doesn't matter.

I love the smell of procrastination in the morning....
Norman, your 1.2KHz crossover is miles away sonically from the 6db filter, just do it.... if you don't like it you're only out a couple of useful inductors....

True, I'm just making sure that i don't lose bass.
High vs lows, yea, I'm a 6db fan, but enjoying the "not transient perfect" crossover i have.
