A negative impedance is another way of dealing with non flat impedance in a driver. Nelson Pass has used the approach with Festerex full range drivers. They sounded quite good in his listening room.
In diy anything goes. You can believe what you believe.
In a loudspeaker project to protect your investment, your time and sanity it’s important to have certainty that
A . You can build your project
B. That you will finish it in a reasonable time frame
C. That is will reach your expectations.
As l mentioned early on in diy the answer(s) we are looking for we can be completely oblivious too. What is the difference between diy and a commercial consumer system. They do a more trial and error with mock ups. They test and listen until it works properly before committing to a design. Then they refine it in the final voicing of the tonal integration of the drivers.
In my experience in diy we sometimes spend way too much time over thinking a project and not nearly enough time testing and listening to ensure it’s working properly. We want it perfect at the outset. That’s crazy in the loudspeaker business.

Sorry for thread hogging again. Sometimes l get over enthusiastic in the diy spaces when l see a simple but elegant solution. Eek 😦
Just my 2 cents worth.
We have so much freedom and so many possibilities. But so little time…
Edit. My previous post is not meant to be condescending or a high school tutorial. But after collaborating on numerous diy loudspeaker projects remotely those 3 essentials are what it boils down to.
Others here have reiterated this in different ways.
