I agree with Lojzek, this topic has developed into a farce. Endless postings of minor changes to a homebrew lash-up ( certainly not by a speaker designer with ability) and asides from ,perhaps a well wishing individual whose only material is from other sources and a simulator. Moderators where are you ?

Please keep clean that big nasty mouth with bleach before speaking and please remember that you haven't brought anything useful to Merlin's purpose from the beginning of the whole story...:wchair:

I sort of agree we are losing our way here. Where are we going with this?

All looks quite promising to me. A 10" woofer that will work well enough below 500Hz. Troels Gravesen likes this sort of thing, and so do I:

It's not often you sit in front of a pair of speakers and have this spine chilling feeling when the music starts. Play track 5 from Nils Lofgren, play it loud - real loud - and it's like sitting front row, looking up on the guitar. It's all there.
Forget about silver cables, golden binding posts, Mundorf Supreme and all that crap! Get an old 12-13" (good) paper cone and let it run up to 5-600 Hz. Give it 50-100 litres of volume or as much as your wife allows. Get a decent 5" paper mid and don't pay more than 50 $ for the tweeter! Get some electrolytic caps and - most importantly - make a good crossover and you're there.

You don't have to understand function of a complex variable to know that a 10" bass in 50 litres is about right. Reflex or closed box depending on the magnet size. And a three way is all about the midrange, relieved of bass and top end duties to play to its strengths.

My own view is that you can get things extremely right with a flat impedance and even doubling up the midrange units for low distortion. But, really a three way works very well. Thanks to Steen Duelund for the correct theory.

With all my respect I don't understand your post.
 
If you tell me how to do it?

From arta manual:

http://www.artalabs.hr/download/ARTA-user-manual.pdf

By using the Farina method [7], ARTA can simultaneously estimate the frequency response and levels
of harmonic distortions from the measured PIR. To apply this method, following measurement
conditions have to be fulfilled:
1) The impulse response must be measured with a logarithmic swept-sine excitation (defined in
Section 5.2).
2) The length of the excitation sequence should be 64k or larger.
3) Measurements have to be done in a ‘Single channel mode’, with the check box ‘Center
peak of impulse response’ selected (see Fig. 5.3).
After obtaining impulse response in the PIR window the user has to:
1) put the cursor few samples in front of the peak of the impulse response (but less than 250
samples before the peak), and
2) press keys Shift+F12 or click menu command 'Analysis->Frequency response and
distortion'
ARTA automatically does all necessary calculations and shows results in the window ‘Frequency
Response and Distortions’, shown in Fig. 6.13 and 6.14. Depending of state of the push button
labeled ‘Dist(%)’ it shows level of harmonics (H2, H3, H4) in dB or percentage of distortion (D2, D3,
D4).
