    That's actually a very good question and I need a recommendation myself for my similar project.

    It's an awful suggestion to unwind an inductor in order to tune them up, by ear. One, it's unreliable as your system changes now and then, and so does your internal reference. Two, why would you even do that as it's ridiculous.

    Just buy the correct value and leave it alone. If you must unwind it to get to the correct DCR, that I understand but don't start tuning your inductors and loudspeakers by ear using this idea.

    I assume this was directed at me since I took this route and provided frequency response data correlated to what I heard as I removed the turns.

    Removing turns to decrease DCR will also decrease inductance so how is this acceptable to you?

    I view removing turns to arrive at an inductance that's close to stock and/or to achieve an improvement in upper bass response, every bit as acceptable as adding or not adding a resistor in place of a polyswitch or removing the bypass cap in parallel with the 5.8 uF metal film cap in the tweeter section. What about mortite, dynamat on the baskets? The list goes on.
