Hi,
I am designing my first crossover using Xsim. I am using Scan-speak D2904/710002 and 18W/4531G00 for a 2-way bookself. Both drivers are 4 ohms.
I notice that the impedance of the midwoofer drop lower to 2 ohms after my crossover. I know that it would be hard for the amplifier, but the impedance is smoother without that two humps.
Would this be a good design? What would you improve?
Here is the impedance graph and design

What's the purpose of R3?
For 4.5dBs of difference between tweeter & mid-woofer both 4 ohms you have to change the resistors value for R1 1R62 & R2 5R89
If you want to flat the drivers impedance you have to use a zobel network.

Here is my new crossover design. I assembled it, and here is my real measurement. I am confused about the dents on 62 Hz, 110 Hz, and 210 Hz.
What could the problem be? What can I do to fix it?

No I did not. I just get to know baffle compensation. I am still learning it. I have a question for the baffle step compensation. Should I put it on the tweeter or woofer circuit only or in the front of the crossover circuit?
What about this crossover design? I am bringing down the level above 300Hz to match the bottom end. Reversing polarity the phase I think is pretty good. Should I still put a baffle compensation?

Fixing the response above 300Hz is the same thing, so yes that's good. Doing them separately has worked for you and it is a common approach.
You don't need to reverse phase to check, because Xsim allows you to turn on the separate phase plots, which is a superior method.
The baffle step is still susceptible to room placement, room power.
