Let's assume everything possible has been done to reduce edge diffraction, within the constraints of a project. So we're left with some edge diffraction, and as a result driver frequency response measures different in the box than they do in an "infinite" test baffle. Reducing edge diffraction further is not an option, for whatever reason.
How does one appropriately deal with the edge diffraction when designing a crossover? Would you use the test baffle driver responses, and effectively "ignore" the diffraction? Include it and adjust the crossover to compensate the best you can? Average the test baffle and in-box responses and use that to partially compensate? Something else? What's the crossover design process if you have some edge diffraction worth considering?
I'm not talking about baffle diffraction step, but rather the ripple that results in the high frequencies.
Thank you for your input.
