I'm doing spice simulations on a new amplifier design.
I want to use a realistic loudspeaker equivalent.
I'm thinking of a 4 Ohm resistor with an L in parallel and a C in series.
What are reasonable values for L and C ?

Hi Kees,
it's not easy to write a simulation model of a reactive speaker. But you can do worst case simulations for inductive and capacitive load. see attachment.
Both loads are designed for 4 ohm. Phase angle for inductive load should be about +60 degrees and for capacitive load about -60 degrees over audio bandwidth.

Rod Elliot had a fairly complete equivalent circuit for a speaker (complete with crossover network) in one of his latest articles. Might be a starting point.
of course, the great breakthrough in speaker design was transposing mechanical impedances into electrical ones -- somehow I recall my first physics prof (and he was a priest) relating Hooks' "spring" equations to the design of a brassiere.
