Hopefully, you did horn path leak testing before painting.... :bash: :slap: :chainsaw: :loler:

Nice build, BTW.

Should be all you need. 10V@20Hz will really show even the slightest of air leaks.

Please do the forum a small favor and fill out your location in the User Control Panel, located in the top right hand corner of every page.

Are you going for that glossy, piano black finish? I can only dream of being able to do a finish like that.

25hz @ 95,1 dB
20hz @ 93,4 dB

@ 17,3 volts (max output from amp)
40hz @ 113,9 dB
32hz @ 112,1 dB

Measure with the subs on the floor, against the wall, and the mic an inch above the floor. You'll still have peaks and valleys, caused by room reflections.

Against the wall, as in mouth facing the wall, standard use position? Then place the mic between the mouth and the wall?

Only if that's your usual listening position. :shock:
If you're taking indoor measurements what matters is response at the listening position with the speakers placed where they give the best result.
