here's a question on this subject. I run my PA for a band. I'm using T48's which have 9 feet of horn. plus if I wall load them against the back wall which is also the back wall for the stage. it will put my subs about 12 feet behind the tops. Do I need to delay the top for 21 feet and if so will this start making the live band sound weard because the tops are delayed so much. or is that much delay not that noticable. I cross the T48's at 110hz with BW24.

Delay the tops to match the backline, don't worry about the subs, you can't hear 10ms below 100Hz.
