Re: I am running open baffle mids

AJ, SL, John K approach things a bit differently from me. IIRC, they all started with the premise of dipole bass units using sub drivers, this limits the low x-o point to around 100Hz, meaning that you need big drivers in the MTM section (8" usually) so the drivers can take the EQ needed to get down to meet the bass unit. This in turn leads to using a very low, steep upper x-o point (usually around 1500Hz)
I actually worked with the MTM section first using smaller drivers, the low cut-off ended around 250-300Hz, so I had to use a normal (old style) bass driver in a vented cab to be capable of being smooth up to meet the mids.

Still works very nicely.
