Ok, lot of drivers, parameters, calculations, pics etc..
To all DIYers, how to check the results of your efforts?
Any affordable test setup?
I live in Mumbai, India.
No way...dont ask me to buy MLSSA.

Speaker Workshop. It's tough to beat "free".

On the cheap get a Rat Shack dB meter and a test tone CD. For $350 US the Phonic PAA2 is a fabulous tool.

If want to test without all the simulation possibilities (not much of a loss in my opinion), then you might try

More test signals than WorkShop, you can run the FFT analysis nearly real time while watching the raw acoustic output, great calibration sub routines (can use cheap and available microphones) and a more user friendly layout.

It is shareware, so there is a cost, but it is minimal (28 Euro I believe). I am testing the system with a ten Euro soundcard and getting results that challenge my dedicated (and very expensive) acoustic hardware.

Good luck, and as far as I am concerned you are taking the right path by wanting to test and not just trust to "faith."
