Thanks for the thermal/mechanical explanation. My winisd modeling follows the expected responses you outlined, except that xmax appears to be exceeded. Or is xlim the value we are trying to stay under?
Not doubting, just trying to learn modeling vs. real world. I've checked and rechecked the input numbers and just can't get it straight. Even more confusing is I have modeled several other woofer/subwoofer designs, and all of them were pretty much spot on modeled vs. real world (using xmax as the mechanical limit, I assume to avoid high distortion values).
Please take a look at the attachments, maybe you can see where I am going wrong. Thanks!
