I've just setup my measurement jig for LIMP, so I gave it a go on ZD5. What came out is a huge mismatch in bottom end impedance curve. Could stuffing be causing this, since I double checked the crossover and imaging is spot on?

(yellow curve with more mechanical loss)
Hm, should I be bothered with this? I managed to align the peaks by adding more stuffing into the box that was missing it, and now they are both the same inside out. Peaks are still much higher on one than on the other.
Yep, just did, and switched drivers. Problem stays with the box... Stuffing is approximately the same, I will make it identical tomorrow.

Huh, I am really scratching my head on this one. Boxes and stuffing are now identical, and I still have a peak height mismatch. I even scalloped some more around the driver.
The one with higher peak definitely sounds more open and detailed. I am about to redo the crossover so that I can switch them between the boxes, to narrow down to box or crossover.
I don't know if it makes sense to switch XT25s...

Yep, that was it. I made a test with rear panels removed, and curves aligned. It was a gap between removable rear panel and the box, caused by tiny dry paint drops.
ok! 🙂
