        the graph above is tell me i got a lil more work on this ! i was really disappointed seeing an f3 of 60hz ... i think i have an extremely leaky box . on the way home today i'm gonna get better weatherstrip , longer screws and some caulk . hopefully that will address the leaks and get me closer to the 40hz i was shooting for ... also i think i may have broke a solder joint loose when removing the XO from my surround , that peak in distortion at 2800 should not be there ...

          Huh, where are you seeing that? The graph looks like in room response.

            look at the THD at 2800 ... yeah FR is room response but even when i shot the measurement it said usable from -6db at 56hz .

            i forgot the caulk , but just got done replacing the weatherstrip and longer screws for a better bite . getting ready now to shot another measurement .

                much happier ... the distortion i believe came from the tweet screen , it was the one that hit the ground after falling off the stand . i measured it but never thought to look at distortion ...

                  I've never heard of using a distortion measurement to determine your box tuning. I suppose it possible with reduce cone movement at Fb. A nearfield FR or impedance sweep seems cleaner.

                      i see the confusion my response to your question now John . i should have addressed the distortion issue separately , but it was really my main concern , i now know that i have a damaged RS28F or at the very least a loose screen . it was the tweet in my surround that fell off a stand and dented the screen . in my attempt to get it back in shape i believe i loosened it , after trying to repair it i measured it but did not look at distortion just the FR which appears to be fine .does PE sell face plate and screen for the RS28F anyone know ? i think that is all i'll need . i will be contacting them today any way as there is an issue of overcharging me on my last order ( the 3 way parts ) .

                      i appreciate your help John and stay with me , the 3 way parts should be here when i get home from work and i am sure i am gonna need a bunch of help with getting these together ...

                        no PE does not sell the plate and screen separately . that kind of surprises me , i cant be the only one to have dented one of these ! the tech guy is looking to see if there is a bad one returned that i can get the screen off of , otherwise i'll have to buy a new one ...

                                Was that MattP you were talking too? He is very helpful and an awesome guy. I'm always happy with how he addresses issues.
