how do you figure out box rise?

If you're curious about what impedance does at different frequencies, here's a sweep I did on mine:

BoximpedanceSweepwithPhase_zpsf79c1e98.j

As you can see impedance and phase change drastically with frequency.

Good if your competing and need the exact impedance at a certain frequency but as mentioned above, not necessary for daily bumping.

BTW this plot above changes even more with:

-window open

-windows open

-door open

-doors open

-empty passenger seat

-full passenger seat

-closed air vents

-sun visors down

-etc.....

You could sweep your impedance at one point in time but chances are later down the road, with different conditions, it will be different.

For ease of use and convenience I'd highly suggest the IMSG, awesome tool in one package.

singer alt, tons of wiring, smd vm-1, 80prs, back seat delete, still in the works, aiming for a 145-147 with the ability to play 25hz up to 50hz.

I would call having a legitimate question and asking on our forum would be " interactive research". If you have the knowledge but dont want to help people then stay off the threads of people asking for help.

Still learning but have started gathering.

Impedance rise is a concern if you need to conjugate it out to present a flat load to a passive network or if you believe you can add additional amplifier channel in the form of bridging based on a higher impedance and thus lower current demand at a particular burp frequency. For all other matters it is data worth nothing and I suggest you look at group delay instead.

Having said that, a simple current meter, volt meter, known resistance and a track of test tones will allow you to create a simple spreadsheet showing impedance with very little money spent. If you are concerned with impedance over 100hz, various testing tools such as the LMS I use, sound easy, Dayton audio tester, Clio and others exist at small to significant investment.

Thanks ShadowStar

Or, AGAIN, if you want to know, get a SIG GEN and run it...lol. god....
