Good day everyone,
I've got some questions with concerning 2.5 way designs -
1. I know that for a more standard 2.5 way, the 1/2 woofer can be used as the BSC. So if I were to have a design in the style of TM/MM (with 2 0.5 woofers to help supplement the low end), what would the increased efficiency be?
2. In reference to the 1st question, for a TM/MM style of design - what would the wiring be like?
3. For the woofers - would they all share the same cabinet space, or would each woofer be enclosed in their own chamber?
If there are any extra bits of information you all could share - that would be greatly appreciated as well!
Thank you all for your time and help!

Re the above
1/ Theoretically up to +6dB. Theoretically. It depends on positioning to a large extent.
2/ Depends on the crossover design, but you could either run the 0.5 with an independent low pass, or use the cascaded topology largely championed by the late and much-missed Jeff Bagby.
3/ Both options are viable.

If you want three woofers all up, that's 9.5dB. As to how you would do it, perhaps one can cut in with the baffle, and the other can provide a rise moving below 100Hz. As to the cabinets, some would use the same, and some might put the mid in a closed box and the other(s) in a vented one.
Thank you guys for your responses so far -
I'm curious - I was aware of the lowpass approach, but what is meant by a Cascaded crossover? (with regards to a X.5 way design)
As well, are there any pros/cons to having all the drivers sharing the same volume - or would separate chambers prove to more beneficial?
