Hello,
When measuring the impedance of a driver in Speaker Workshop to try to calculate the TS perimeters, I see there is a few different ways to set up the speaker. This link: http://vikash.info/audio/measurement_clamp/ shows some clamps that could be used to hold the speaker. The Speaker Workshop help files says to put it between 2 tables and clamp it down so that it is supported at the frame but nothing is obstructing it front or back.
Could a person use a flat baffle to mount a speaker on for measuring the free air impedance? Will this baffle affect the measurements in any way? I have a 20 lb Black Widow 15 inch driver that is hard to mount unobtrusively and though that if I build the baffle for the front of the speaker box because I know the size I want, I could then use that baffle standing up in the middle of my living room to measure the free air impedance.
Any thoughts?
