combo Medium & Trbble section

What I understand is that you make a, for your opinion, nice looking design and now your asking 'us' to do all the research for the volume, port tuning and directivity angles?
I think the best thing you can do is searching for a excisting design with the Fane drivers and make your cabinet the same volume per driver.
Than the low section is good and the only thing you need is a good passive X-over with the right frequenties and enough possibillity's to adjust the different drivers on each other so it is well balanced. Much easyer for tuning and equalise the drivers is to use a multi amp system with a digital processor because this combination will give you time alignement problems.

While your drawing looks good, I wouldn't try and build it with those HF components.

A 2402 is a poor choice, a 2405 at 7Khz would be much better.

A 2425 is a poor choice, use a 2" driver from 1Khz~7Khz.

The angle you have drawn for the 10s looks like it should work well, I would run them from 200hz~1Khz.

Your project is a waste of time and a mis-use of expensive components.

It's no waste of time I'd say, but you could make a nice 10" horn with phaseplug looking towards tms / flashlight point source designs I think, I myself just collected 6 pcs of these nice 10" drivers.
It should be possible to bolt on the phaseplug even, but it's not in tms I know, about flashlight and newer f1 designs i know nothing


I like Your V-configuration, yet I know very little about this, look for other boxes loaded this way, I think it would be likely to be ported and playing lower like djk says, I think not going above 1khz might be to avoid beaming problems that a phaseplug can take care of. Still I don't know too much about this, I looked inside a d&b linearray dual with the 10" facing appart in narrow port loaded V's almost phase bunged by the handles & with a horn in between with time alignment "bubble" shape. This stops making very much sense to read.

Well, Did you ever build that top then?

Nice one! Almost like a unity horn, very ideal "point source" build!
I think I can say that you got a little more support than Bernard!

Looks like you're mostly going for US drivers like p.audio / eminence, any particular reason? I go for english (pd / fane /void) or italian rcf / ciare), because they're good (high BL for instance), also because of this forum & because I think of UK as neighbors, shipping and telephone is often the same price from us, but for some reason UK just seems much closer
