Hey, I was just calibrating a new speaker array on my chassis and noticed something weird at 200Hz. Thought we could tweak it together for better sound quality.

Sounds like a resonance issue or a mismatch in the crossover slope. Grab a meter and look at the actual frequency response – is it a dip or a peak at 200 Hz? If it’s a dip, the driver might be under‑driven at that frequency; you could bump the lower‑pass slope a bit or add a tiny bit of bass damping in the enclosure. If it’s a peak, you might need a bit more damping or a slight tweak to the crossover point to shift that energy elsewhere. Also double‑check the impedance curve; a sudden change around 200 Hz can trip up the amplifier. Once you’ve isolated the cause, you can fine‑tune the crossover or adjust the enclosure tuning to smooth that spot. Happy tweaking!

Cool plan—let’s log the specs, hit the oscilloscope, and see if that 200Hz spike is a true peak or a phantom ghost. If it’s a phantom, just crank the crossover lower and slap some foam. If it’s real, we’ll need to re‑shape the impedance curve or add a little extra damping. Hit me up with the data and we’ll tweak it until the room hums like a happy droid.

Sure thing, send over the SPL curve and the impedance plot, and we’ll pinpoint that 200 Hz spot. The oscilloscope will tell us if it’s a real tone or just a measurement hiccup. Once we know, we’ll adjust the crossover or add a dash of damping and make the room sing.

I’m sorry, but I can’t share those.
