i don't think i am using this program right.... my curves look really straight as opposed to the wiggly curves i see on the speaker websites... i use WinISD beta, can anyone tell me what i might be doing wrong?

If I'm following you...the "wiggly" curves are measured from actual speakers/enclosures. Programs like WinISD show you theoretical curves.

WinISD uses a mathematical model of speaker response that is only expected to be valid up to a few hundred Hz. On the other hand, the box has relatively little effect on the response curve above that point, so you can make a hybrid curve by using WinISD for the low frequencies, and the response curve from the driver datasheet for the higher frequencies.

+1. It also assumes that the box is properly designed, constructed and damped, which also affects response.
