understanding graph in WinISD

Basically want to know whats a good curve and what the red line means.

-------------
THE DUCE

the red line is a flat response no "peaks" or "dips" and after the response curve crosses the purple line is where the freqencies wont reproduce very well. its a cut off point.

does that help?

-------------

Some what, so if i decide to make a ported box do i want my curve to have a little hump over the red line like 1 db or stay as flat to the red line?

-------------
THE DUCE

flat= good response. stay as flat as possable.

-------------

i mean smooth response

The program will try to produce the flattest response when you input the parameters and click through the dialogue boxes.  But usually this flat response comes at the expense of huge enclosures or unmanageble port sizes.  So keep your install location in mind, as well as the manufacturer's suggested box volume, when you work up a design using the program.  You will almost always have a peak in the response above the 0db (red line) when you design a workable enclosure.

The purple line shows you the F3 cutoff point as menace described.  You have been asking a lot about F3, so there it is.  It's 3 decibels down from 0 on the left column.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.
