tweeter below woofer in 2way?

—>make speakers for family and suddenly they are going on the ‘base’ of the fireplace instead of actual ‘floor’ … (Well over a foot higher than planned and putting the listening position ear heights and Tweeters at that ~mismatch?

any reason I can’t just flip this over and put the tweeter underneath the rs180 and leave everything as it is?(just need to cut a hole for them in the plywood)

Some determined use of the Table saw there, and the finished results speak for themselves.

I assume you have modelled the driver's cabinet, and Xover. If so, depending on the simulations, can you judge how much things are changed by the 1foot change in height at the listening position.

Mission loudspeakers quite often have the tweeter underneath the bass-mid. Third order inverted Butterworth slopes and your flat baffle can be made to work as per the words in my 1989 Loudspeaker Design Cookbook.

So maybe if you are forced into doing this you may have to play with the Xover a bit.

Planet10's point about moving the woofer is a fundamental for your TL design. Initially I was not paying attention and missed that aspect.
