Need explanations on WinISD Gain/phase/group delay graph

[Tired]

I just installed WinISD, and it seem to be a very useful program... cant wait to use it to design my next set of speakers, but, i chose a peerless driver just playing around, and messed with the box volume and port tuning a bit, and ended up with the attached curves. I would just like someone who knows more than me about stereos to explain how to interperet the graphs and the way i need to try to get the line, for instance, with the gain, do i want the line to hug 0db? or just stay between 0 and -3?... what does the phase really mean and do?, and whats this group delay all about?
Thanks a lot, even explaining one aspect of one graph will help,
Evan.

Tired,

Have you tried reading winISD Pro's user manual?

It looks like you're using plain winISD. Go back to the site and download the Pro version, it's better.
