Of course, they definitely need to be in the cabinet to be measured. This is why you need to build some test boxes to see what happens with different width, shape, volume and placement of drivers.I think it would be good to put them in the enclosure and measure them in the enclosure or what do you think?
However i have the issue that i have no good measuring room in order to measure free field.
How is measuring software nowadays? Is it capable to
calculate-exclude the room influence when measuring? i.e is there a trick that works at least half way?
A nice silent room, a simple stand or anything that can put the speaker in the middle of the room - far away from anything. Then you can mostly measure pretty well with free software like REW. The software can adjust your measurement in time, so that everything that comes later in time ( reflections ), can be removed. Though, this will affect how low in frequency you can measure... typically around 500-600Hz.
