No no. I am using special hardware and software to measure these speakers which generates results as if the baffle is infinite. For it to work well though it needs about a foot past each side of the speaker. I have that on left and right but not top and bottom. From previous testing I know it works well without a lot vertically but not sure if I cut it too close or not.Theoretically, how would a larger wall/baffle affect the sound? Because it would have to be a really tiny house to have walls like that.
Ok so if I have a 8ohm or say even a 4ohm amp and the impedance is 3.7 will it just not play sound at that frequency?
It just means more current is drawn at that frequency. And a 10% difference is inconsequential.

Pretty much the same if not lowerAre these better quality
Don’t confuse soffit mounted speakers with in-wall speakers. The former are simply large speakers mounted in a recess in the wall so that their baffle is flush with the wall. The latter are often just front baffles mounted to an opening in the wall and use the wall cavity as the enclosure. Some smaller models may have optional small enclosures.
While we are at it, we have A.D. 2021, why not active? Would eradicate the crossover woes, among others.
Well....that makes me feel sad on a Sunday. Luckily they still sound great.Pretty much the same if not lower
It can under certain circumstances. Electrolytic caps and low quality iron core inductors (specifically low quality parts, mind - good quality iron/steel cores are fine) can add quite a bit of distortion at higher drive levels. Film caps and air core inductors have some inherent distortion as well but it's independent of current.So, the crossover component quality will make a difference in the sound quality?
I guess light switches are an exception OK, every country has its specific laws. Here in Germany it wouldn't be a problem AFAIK, but, most German houses have solid walls, so in-wall speakers are not very popular here so far.Installing a 110v electrical device inside a wall is Illegal per US building codes.
Those are installed into a non-conductive electrical box. All wire connections occur in the box.I guess light switches are an exception
Actually similar as in the German "Schuko" standard.Those are installed into a non-conductive electrical box. All wire connections occur in the box.

Just curious: So, if I wanted to install a (hypothetical) active in-wall speaker in an isolated box, it would be allowed?

Honestly I wouldn't be worried about that as far as sound is good.Luckily they still sound great
NopeI suppose this is what would be considered good crossovers?
