Certainly I have. Have you done said modeling and then performed a frequency response of the driver? Then, have you tried to correlate what the modeling and response curves say to actual blind listening tests (against another driver - A/B testing) to see if you could actually *hear* the effects of inductance? Your ears after all, are the deciding factor here, not a modeling program.
I dunno. I guess I'm looking for actual scientific evidence showing a sub with a higher inductance is crappier than one with lower inductance. On a personal level I have listened to a pile (not pyle
) of drivers myself, run a variety of frequency sweeps, impedance curves, distortion measurements, modeling, box building, and have still been unable to point to a driver and say "Ah ha! There it is! There's that silly inductance playing tricks on me!".
One can dream though...
