Adding is not the solution. More will be worse. What about your current setup don't you like?

One other warning, don't use the measurements as gospel as I assume you weren't sitting in the car and measuring at both ears. Even then your head will influence the measurement. Of course finding modes and odd response anomalies to try to attack with eq surely works. Glad it helped. Isolation and understanding limits make a big difference in what can be done.

I would start with playing just the tweeters first and see how low they can play without stress. Then I would listen to the mids alone and see how high they can play without breaking up and how low without stress. Once there depending on mounting locations and aiming anything can happen. As a first start though I would try to have the tweet take as much mid as it can and the midbass take as much from the sub as it can. Then compare with less. Be careful as you adjust to not throw off your baseline, ie, do NOT use any boost in the eq or any voltage gain in the equalization. All cut.

Just as a clarifier with only 8 averages and using a white noise signal what you measured was the variation in the excitation not the response. That being said, the valleys are surely indicative or where the modes of your car are but the variation, width, and values are dubious at best with only 8. General rule of thumb with an FFT and noise signals are to watch the response as it averages and keep averaging until you see no further changes.

Just noticed you posted the settings. Yes, some changes. 100 averages Hanning window 67% overlap Personally I have no need for 1/12 octave, 1/3 or narrow band is enough ... I am a narrow band guy, but I can calculated the octave bins in my head. If there are any other settings you have a question on send me a text to peak so I don't miss them.

Just left one here. Doh

Boston for work. In Ann Arbor now

I want to buy a pair of shocks from someone on another forum I don't know. Any way for me to protect myself on that purchase?

I was in Des Moines, Iowa...wondering why you would be in flyover country. Had I been in Penn I would have let you know...in particular with how my paint looks right now

I may not be going to IN on Thur though...have WAY too much shit to do here. building a building and dang...

Drove by Neal, now in Ann Arbor and just missed Mike. WTF. Damnit.

Doh, really??

That dirty thing is mine. It rained the whole way down and we are still dealing with road sand/salt so it is gross and needs paint correction again.

My biggest concern is that you were measuring the variation in the excitation signal and not the response of the speaker. Measurements need to stabilize with noise so however many averages that takes you need. Normally 100 covers it, but not always.

In Boston...and https://i.imgur.com/iLEX5UZ.png

1am, I am exhausted, just got to my hotel in Boston...barely read this, but have one concern before even trying to. How many averages did you take and how many averages did it take before the curve settled down into what you have above? I want to make sure we aren't chasing variations on the noise excitation signal you are using. I'd also be curious on all the narrow band FFT settings. Generally I assume you measured everything right and have found your cabin modes, but would like to digest the plots with more than a 20 second look and need sleep. I also want to make sure the data is real which is why I asked the questions above.

back at the airport. Crazy weekend. 600mi in the car yesterday followed by a bonfire, train ride south 100mi this morning, ride back, coach soccer, now airport. I'd like to breath.

Measure in the near field first. ie, jam the mic in the speaker. See if they are balanced at the source. Troublle shooting at the ear isn't always the easiest.

That being said, all I learned in college was how to learn which is really all that is important anyways.

I actually believe the testing should not be in the text book. That defeats the purpose of learning. It is called learning, not memorization. That being said, do realize I am a Physicist so what I would be tested on is concepts and such. This even applies to abstract things like history. A history test shouldn't recall your understanding of history, but the application and understanding of what was learned or could have been learned from that history. Way harder to write that test, but it is a much better indicator of true learning.

Protein? Budget?

The 1% is solidly true.

Part of the reason I don't have a dog is I don't want to see anyone age and fail around me. Sorry mang.

I want to pull my cart with a wheeler. Something like this, but not as bad Will still want to pull it as a cart sometimes as well. Found this for sale, $40 for a handle. Converts it to a clevis pin hitch. The trailer needs to go about 400m total. You may ask why the 4 wheeler? When you fill it full of cooler, food, and other BS it is easily 200lbs. My driveway makes Mt Fuji look like a bunny hill. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Utility-Cart-Handle-Pulling-Lawn-Tractor-Towing-Wheelbarrows-Wagon-Part-Garden/153289984984?epid=2255453933&hash=item23b0cb8bd8:g:1OkAAOSwlndZIBgZ Can you all think of a better way of doing that? I don't love $41 for the handle and then buying a receiver for a pin for another $30.
