My first serious 3 way design.
Using Dayton's X-over 3 Pro software, while the normalized amplitude looks good, I noticed the Phase graph is poor. If I change the midrange polarity, and keep the tweeter and woofer normal the phase looks great - but sounds odd.
So has anyone heard of this before?
How reliable do you guys believe X-over 3 Pro is?
I will not be able to invest in a microphone and software for post build measurements.
Using formulas in "Speaker Building 201" for enclosure, seems straight forward from a "Theoretical" approach.
1" dome tweeter, 6" mid and 10" woofer - all Dayton audio.
Using second order APC crossover.
THOUGHTS??

Honestly, Xover-Pro is very antiquated, and does not require all of the invaluable information that it needs to to get it right.
The freeware out there is actually a lot better than Xover-Pro at simulations. However, garbage info in = garbage info out.
