Yes Allen but how to get a good second order response using the same number of components? The little program I had to help with those calculations only worked in W98 and I've since lost the program disc, trial and lots of error has helped me some tho and I'm only just learning about parallel resistors at the driver side
And it just takes one extra cap to be 3rd order on tweeter.
Usually rather helpful if crossing low.
Alpha 10 is live sound
somewhat stiff suspension compared to home HiFi.
Qts is not super high.
But high enough to be somewhat confusing
in sim.
Basically id assume most calculators to show
rather large boxes for common alignments.
If mid bass
Assume it would be sealed and plain jane
1 cubic to 1.3 cubic feet for many live sound 10"
If you have a baffle size in mind
could easily sim a crossover.
Wont spend time on it till the baffle size
is concrete. Since its time consuming for sim
and the designs are baffle specific.
Tweeter can be 3rd order for such low
crossover point.
The rising woofer response and baffle step.
Can be easily managed with matching third
order for woofer.
To answer the question about rising response.
Impedance compensation and even possible
simple notch would be very much likely.

These speakers have the SAME crossover. PI Speakers 1Pi & 2Pi

per Wayne P. message 92679 , "The one pi and two pi use the same crossover and tweeter, but the midwoofer, box and port are different."

You could make a Devore Widebody looking speaker. Not a clone different drivers.

"It uses an Eminence Alpha 8 driver along with a Vifa DX25 tweeter. Crossover is nothing more than a 10uf Zen capacitor in series with the tweet and an 0.5mH air-cored inductor in line with the main driver. A 16ohm Ohmite resistor in parallel with the tweeter tames the impedance curve.

Or just sim it
So guessing isnt too wild.
And the impedance curve wont be a roller coaster
like most.
Basically one extra cap is gonna really clean up
the tweeter.

I doubt that the finished project will exhibit a flat impedance, but that doesn't matter > unless you're using a Tube Amp.
