Neither have I done a simulation of your project with a Peerless 830860, nor have I measured one. I did design a 2 way based on Peerless 830874, a 6.5" unit and it surpassed my expectations.
Thanks, Lojzek. You had recommended the Peerless mids, so I was just inquiring as to your level of first hand familiarity with them. This is very gracious of you. I'll check it out. I've put together a few different models already using the Peerless mids - experimenting with different slopes, wiring, cross points, etc. It will be enlightening to compare yours. For me, this is as much an academic exercise and learning experience as it will be a practical application, when I actually do the rebuild.
Lojzek,
When I plug the values into PCD, it yields a very nice FR, if the raw driver FRD and ZMA files are used. But phase is off. If I use the files adjusted for box, baffle, and minimum phase extraction, the FR plot is not as nice, but phase is much closer. I will play with it a while. Thanks, again.
You're welcome. In my sim, midrange data was from the PE datasheet. Phase tracking appeared well, responses about LR4. Try not to concentrate solely on appearances, this is still a simple simulation. FR wrinkles in reality can be more offensive to the eyes than ears. It is uncertain which iteration might sound better.
