BAN!!!

Much appreciated. Found what I was looking for for 18 bucks less. I was sure excited until I saw the $44 shipping charge. *Sigh* I was hoping to give SSA my business, but I guess I will pick it up at Amazon or Sonic Electronix for regular price and free shipping. I will save a ton more that way.

I didn't post that, pro rabbit did. And yes, you are completely misinterpreting the graph and your conclusions are not correct. It is an impedance and phase graph, not a frequency response graph. Unless you have a TON of experience it's hard to decipher the information you are looking for from it. The lower graph is the impedance curve. The large peak occurs at the resonant frequency (Fs) of the driver. The width, slope and height of that peak is determined by the driver's various Q (damping) factors. Figuring out the Fs is pretty easy, determining what the graph is telling you about the various Q factors of the driver takes a trained eye and some calculations. The Fs and Qts (total damping of the driver) determine the low frequency characteristics of the driver. Combine those with the driver's Vas (not able to be determined from the graph) and you can then model the low frequency characteristics of the driver in various sized sealed and ported enclosures. The rising impedance on the right side of the impedance graph is determined by the inductance (Le) of the driver. The lower the frequency the impedance begins to rise at and/or the steeper the slope of the rise, the higher the inductance is (comparatively). The inductance and subsequent increasing impedance inhibits the high frequency response of the driver. It can't respond fast enough to reproduce those frequencies. It really isn't just the inductance that creates this effect, it's a combination of the driver's inductance in relation to the driver's DC resistance (Re). Two drivers with the same Le but different Re's will behave differently. The top line on the graph is the impedance phase angle. The large impedance variations affects the phase angle of the driver, which is basically how in- or out of phase the voltage and current are. The deviation in the phase tells you that the voltage and current will not be in phase at those frequencies. Anyways....challenging yourself right now would be learning how to maximize the installation and tuning of a 2 way system. If you can't maximize a 2 way installation, then a 3 way will be a fail. Certainly you could simply hook everything up and it would "work", about as well as your current front stage "works"...which is to say it will play music but perform now where near how it should sound or anywhere near it's full potential. First, home and car audio are completely different environments. Second, those home audio speakers have (well, should have had) a good bit of engineering behind their design and are not just cobbled together as you are proposing. Using something just because you have it isn't how you go about designing a quality system, especially when the product was probably a poor purchase decision to start with. And you still haven't answered my questions.

X2How come you're using a 4th order band pass? I like the wide frequency range that the bandpass can play. Still learning and have a lot of learning to do, only 17 years old. This is my first bigger build and its gonna be a big learning curve for me. "wide frequency range" and 4th order bandpass are not generally in the same conversation.

So when someone acts like an idiot and someone says, "you are acting like an idiot" it is the person who calls out the idiot that is at fault? Do realize you are the owner of a business and typing something that is permanently logged. EVERYTHING you type you will be judged by. If your skin isn't thick enough to take both constructive and destructive criticism and just adapt perhaps owning a business isn't your thing. And btw, I am not affiliated with the forum at all. There is one thing that sets this place apart in the car audio world and that is bullshit doesn't fly. Obviously the remark hit home since you changed. You could have left it at that.

Everything you say, type, how you type, etc will reflect on your company. Get used to it.

I'm with ///M5 on this one.

Well, it says right in the post 'stop using ellipses'. Maybe I'm reading it wrong. You just told him using ellipses makes him look like a 3rd grader then say that? Saying something just to say it...It is incoherent. Removing the ellipses would surely make it WAY more coherent. You guys full of sand or what? Don't quite understand why a business owner shouldn't be professional. If I were schlepping my product I'd surely try hard to make sure my whole persona exuded professionalism. Obviously the above post is far from that.
