The science of inductive loads is a bit beyond me, so I defer to the experts on this one.

I do know that when a load contains a resistive and an inductive component, the voltage and current aren't exactly in phase.

If the power delivered to the driver followed the impedence graph, you would expect the SPL graph to do the same, yet this is not the case.

Since I'm using WinISD to do the analysis, and the voltage measurement method was given the OK by one of the WinISD authors, I'll use it.

Adding flares definitely allows you to use a higher velocity before chuffing occurs.

This is not as simple as saying a flare of x mm allows a velocity of 20 m/sec

You need to take into account port diameter, flare radius and frquency.

You can also allow a small amount of chuffing which is not heard due to the distance to the seating position and masking by content.

If you follow the link in my earlier posting, you'll see how this was discovered.
