VituixCAD

As far as I know REW has a tool for creating "classic" response graphs using this method.
So does VituixCAD, this is the VituixCAD thread after all.

For this downfiring cabinet, given the close proximity of the woofer to the floor, the floor is part of the woofer loading and should probably be included, so gdan's original measurement plan is a good start. Take all the measurements and compare, instead of just talking about it, that's the best way to learn.

Thank you, Kimmosto, for all your hard work and dedication for this program.

I am just getting started with Vituix (crossover design) and straightaway I ran into a question.
Is there a way to manually driver specs?
I do not (yet) have measurement capability and the tweeter (Dynaudio D28/2) does not have files for import that I am aware of.

Cheers.

Start a new project and open the drivers tab
Load the FR/ZR files of the sba in D1
Add D2 and load the Faital FR/ZR files
Go to the crossover tab and add D2 (D1 is already there).
Check that with D1 selected this is the sba in the drop down menu. Same for D2.
Copy and paste D1 to have the second driver in the cad window and add filter components and the necessary connections.
 
Yes, you can trace the frd/zma files but the impedance of drivers in cabinet has to be calculated by the enclosure tool and the frd file manipulated with diffracion tool/merger tool. Give a look at the user manual

I am in a stupid camp, and have it read it already three times - doesnt help. For me this program, at least now, is very complicated. I would expect manual to give basic steps A B C instead. Example: open program, first thing to do is upload drivers ts parameters, then frequncy and impedance graph, next...
 
I am a bit concerned as to why you have a 3.3ohm resistor in series with the woofer. It's going to have to dissipate a lot of power, and it will also affect the tuning of your low-frequency enclosure.
To reduce impedance to exeptable levels for amplifier...

Current speakers of mine has 47ohm resistor paralel with woofer. If ill manage to grasp on vituixCAD, I think it could be changed to better.
At the moment I have modified it to half of resistance value, as without it it is screaming in mids.
