Is my box ok mmm? (impedance rise)

Hey guys do these impedance rise figures look ok to you. I'm just curious about the huge gaps.

Nominal load was 2 ohms.

28 Hz: 7.4 ohms

30 Hz: 7.1 ohms

32 Hz: 6.6 ohms

35 Hz: 7.5 ohms

40 Hz: 12.4 ohms

50 Hz: 5.9 ohms

70 Hz: 4.0 ohms

Any info and input would be great.

what are you nominally wired at?

any idea what the actual DC resistance of the sub(s) is at the amp?

I personally dont see any issues, but then i am not the most experienced person with that on the site either.

I just wanna learn how I can reduce on the rise. I know because music has different frequencies it will flactuate but I'm losing a lot of power. My amp does 2000w at 2 ohms but according to this test I'm not even running half of that due to rise. So just wanna know tips to help reduce rise.

You can't do anything about this. The voice coil is a reactive load so it constantly changes, and it's totally normal. Don't be certain that you're loosing power if you haven't even measured the power.

The low in-between the two peaks is your tuning frequency. Other than that don't worry anything about it, unless you plan on burping at one single frequency 100% of the time.

Current system:

1997 Blazer - (4) Customer Fi NEO subs with (8) American Bass Elite 2800.1s

Previous systems:

2000 Suburban - (4) BTL 15's and (4) IA 40.1's = 157.7 dB at 37 Hz.

1992 Astro Van - (6) BTL 15's and (6) IA 40.1's = 159.7 dB at 43 Hz.

OP sure you are tuned to 38Hz like the sig states? Also I guess you should disclose your testing method.

Buy Dayton DATS if you really care to see your impedance curve. That is the correct tool to measure. If you really care, keep buying different woofers until you have one that has 2 ohm at it's lowest point in your useable bandwidth or whatever it is you want to see.
