[QUOTE="SimulatedZero, post: 8470009, member: 643373"] In my experience, not the case. If you know what your doing, and know to expect and compensate for cabin gain, then WinISD can be a very useful tool. One of the local car audio shops used to it for every custom build and used to it to take first place with a 160's db build using one 18. A lot of larger companies tend to use more powerful software that can more accurately calculate power compression and cabin gain (approximates on the cabin gain, I don't think there's anyone who has compiled all the cabin measurements for every vehicle yet, I may be wrong). For general daily builds though, most subs act the same and you generally don't need to graph it. WinISD is a tool. It can be used correctly or incorrectly. Like any tool, using it depends on your situation and application. Expecting to get exactly what you see on screen will lead to failure.
