Silver Flute W17RC38-04
I have never seen an impendence graph like this.
How do I read this? I am trying to trace it to see if its a viable choice for a build I am considering. Basically a budget 2 way build I could give away to friends.
How does the "V" translate to ohms?

This is the factory graph. I've never seen one like this thoughI'd expect to have to measure it again.
Nor should you. It's not unusual to measure impedance as Volts, but not to display it that way.I've never seen one like this though
It does not. The plot title indicates impedance, but there is no impedance on any of the x-axes.How does the "V" translate to ohms?
All I can tell is that there must be an error. If this really is a plot by the manufacturer, they don't seem very competent at what they do.
I quickly overlaid the spec sheet and Ampslabs data and they line up for100mV = 10ohms which seem to confirm it is a mislabeling of the graph. Even the wiggle at 1khz is seen on both and lines up. Peak at FS is lower but this is likely due to the baffle they were both tested on.
Is it just R = U/I? So they have used a constant I for the sweep and measured the U in volts across the speaker terminals?Silver Flute W17RC38-04

That seems reasonable. I will just use that I guessMy first guess is that the right hand side axis is incorrectly labelled and the gradations should be 10, 20, 30, 40 ohms. Only a guess but would make the minimum impedance around 8ohms and the resonance peak about 35ohms which seems plausible.
