I’ve redone all my measurements in a more systematic way as Zilch suggested. Thank you for all your guidance on this Zilch, your expertise has been invaluable and is greatly appreciated.
I returned to the Studio room, and added more sound blankets. I also kept the pink noise levels consistent excepting for the woofer/port close micing. I was extremely careful about the speaker/mic positions. All tests were done at tweeter on axis from a distance of 3ft from the front of the cabinet (except for close woofer test.) I used only one side of the amp. The last session gave me a lovely few days of ear ringing, so I grabbed my range muffs. Best Idea I had all week
I used dummy loads when removing drivers from the tests because I found there was always some output even at minimum settings. Additionally, as Zilch suggested, this was needed for taking the woofer out of the equation, since there is no L-pad for that.
The tweeters are moved forward such that both horn bells are aligned. Although this should mean phase problems due to time alignment, the whole rig sounds much better this way. No more blankets on the top.
Here’s the setup:
Dummy loads are 8 Ohm, non inductive, L pads remained at this setting.
I found after I did all the image cutting and pasting, that there are no big discrepancies between the drivers in both speakers and I think the response is very similar.
I don’t know what I can realistically expect from the crossover. But I would like to improve it as much as is possible. I don’t know how good or bad the curves appear to you guys. I want to learn and am open to your suggestions.
Here are the curves:
