First start of XSim, but...

once installed it is very simple and intuitive, but when I go to create the .zma file, it does not create/save it. maybe I'm doing something wrong...
so I installed VituxCAD and repeated the simulation of the mid-wwofer with the values used in the two-way.
I'm shocked!

The 3.12mH coil is too large. Usually that coil is smaller than the first one. Obviously, it depends on what you are trying to make the filter do.

that's right, if you remember in fact and then also confirmed by the Wharfedale 1334 model it is a 16ohm, however in the simulation in XSim I cannot change the impedance and not even create the .zma file which as you can see would be possible, but it does not create it.

To make generic impedance files, I've had better luck opening an existing zma file in Excel, modifying it there, saving as tab delimited text, then changing the file extension back to zma.

Bringing in files generated by other hardware/software has worked fine for me also, with just changing the extension to zma.

yes indeed and now that I have seen Allen's attached file, I understand how it is made and how it works.

Ok, so a basic 2-way.

Hope you plan to show the measurements, and sim.

yes, for me not really simple simple...but it sounds good.
the measurements as soon as I have the microphone - I still haven't decided whether to get one of a certain level, or stay under 80eu, but as soon as I'm ready it will be the next step.
there is that thing you say about the two inductors, the first larger and the second smaller...but I redid the calculations and for 18db /3nd order it comes out L1 - 1.413 & L2 - 2.825
