Hello hear, I am here to ask of your wisdom! I have a full range driver I want to simulate...I want to run it as low as possible...but generally from about 200-400hz and then all the way up...I know that I can use my ears for this task but being that the crowd here specializes in this experience...is there not a rule of thumb regarding Excursion and your fullrange sound quality? I mean you are not handing off to a tweeter...so if the woofer moves too much SQ will suffer.....any golden rules on excursion? For midranges a golden rule I picked up was to not allow the midrange to move more than 2mm....I'm looking for the same type of logic regarding fullrange applications in regards to HF sq expectations....

Thanks in advance

Its like a foreign language what you've just said lol. This is an aspect that I can simulate? Maybe I can measure this with measuring microphone? Actually can you elaborate on how I could use this graph to determine excursion vs SQ given the conditions I stated?

I'm not sure sure how the Kippel is going to predict IMD levels?
