An improved model for the design and analysis of loudspeaker enclosures will be described which includes the mutual impedance terms between multiple ports, speakers, and enclosures. In addition, a powerful computer simulation program will be presented utilizing the developed acoustical model for the analysis of several sample enclosures and arrays. Actual measurements of the sample enclosures will be shown and compared to the simulations of the modeling program.
