Hello,
Any advice on optimizing a cabinet design when the TS parameters vary between the mfr's spec sheet and someone else's test results (such as zaphaudio)? Should I assume that Zaph's results are more typical than the mfr's claims? I know the ideal would be for me to measure my particular drivers before designing the cabinet but I don't have the equipment to do that. For some drivers, such as the Tang Band W3-1364SA, the differences in optimal cabinets (and predicted bass response in the alternate cabinet) are very substantial.
