I want to do a ML-TQWT with two 3" drivers in a MTM alignment. Line length will be 16". The distance between the 3" drivers is ~ 5". So its no "point source" anymore. Would a simulation with Martin Kings worksheets still give meaningful results?
How about the input values for the worksheet? Since the 3" are wired in parallel, I have to double Sd and Vad and halve Re. But I am not shure about Lvc, BxL and the Q-factors.
Thanks for some suggestions

Martin addressed this in an article on his web site.
Two drivers in TQWT
You have the basics correct.

Thanks Timn8ter,
should have looked at MJKs site in the first place. Seems I´m getting too lazy.
But I am still not shure, if the distance between the drivers in such a short line could be an issue.
Anyway, I`ll get some ply tomorrow and give it a try 🙄

I figured it would come up later. Is the 5" distance center to center? Why would you not make them 4" apart? Have you considered a bipole configuration?The distance between the 3" drivers is ~ 5". So its no "point source" anymore.
Sorry, the drivers are only 2" and the distance is 5" center to center.
It´s a fixed system - an acoustically sound implementation of d´Appolitos theories. You see it in my first post. Obviously it´s only useable up from 100~200 Hz.

Ah, I see. That's interesting. Part of the ML-TQWT theory is to place the driver at the point of the 3rd harmonic. I'm wondering if you use the center point between the two drivers for that. 😕
That is exactly what I will do. I look at the system as a "very narrow" 8" woofer with the tweeter in the center. The weekend will show,whether this is right.
Thanx for your help.

Hi Rudolf
Are you going to use teh MHE 280 MK II "Mittelhochtoneinheit " in your ML TQWT with the Gradient ??

I will put the Mivocs on top of small dipole subwoofers. It´s the most far out combination I could imagine for a small room - so I had to do it.
It will look somewhat like this (yes, it´s still another ML-TQWT - with a Fostex FF 85K):

The MHE 280 is doing nicely down to near 100 Hz. So it would be a waste (of both speakers) to combine them with the Gradients.Are you going to use the MHE 280 in your ML TQWT with the Gradient?
