Once you establish that you are for sure on the right track with the whole idea of the Injection Channel, it would not be such a big deal to cut and extend the vertical mast of your Macodo frames, moving your Fundamentals Channel up... You could have a strong square window welded in that would allow the Red to be positioned as in your drawing.
You may be able to find a good welder with a portable rig and have it done right there in your room (I've been getting away with this sort of thing for the past year... use plywood shields!).
However, I must say, I have a lot of trouble accepting the idea of redundant drivers.
Do you really feel that it would be desirable to inject tone up in the range where you have the S2s working?
I wonder if you might address the issue of tone by working only with Bass.
My own Mid-Range arrangement is based on that of the Macondos... Listening to my own system (I have enough of it done now to make some observations), I can say that there are two elements which bring significant tone to the overall perception :
1) The AK151 Mid-Bass drivers, even without horns.
2) The pair of 18" Lower-Bass drivers in sealed boxes (a sort of effortless bass with very good tone... A nice surprise, as I had to buy them without having heard what they could do).
Obviously, neither of these directly add tone anywhere higher up than Upper-Bass... Nevertheless, they may be affecting the way the S2s channels are "perceived". In my case, I don't feel that the S2s would benefit from more tone. However, if I could hear your experiment, I may change my mind.
What diaphragms did you finally settle for use with your S2s... Plastic or metal suspension?
