Quick Tip ~  For more accurate results while testing loudspeakers, it is best to do the measurements outdoors in a quiet and spacious area.  Maybe in the front yard or a backyard of your house.  This helps avoid any unwanted reflections, wave cancellation, constructive and destructive interference, and any standing waves which can alter the frequency response of the actual signal.  Do all measurements at either 1/2 meter or 1 meter from the speaker baffle at 2.83 volts.  You may use more power if necessary to overcome outside noises from either wind, cars, birds, etc.   This may seem like a tedious task but the results you achieve will be well worth it.
