I performed a calibration (photo 1) of my sound card on my PC thanks to the recommended mounting to measure the impedance of a speaker. I then made a measurement of impedance of a 3 "speaker and I obtain the following result (photo 2). I have no bump but a hollow at the level of the resonance frequency and all the curve is abnormally too low, less than 1 ohm in the middle of the curve.
Where does the problem comes from?

It seems that you did an acoustic ( spl level ) calibration instead of an electrical ( using resistors ) calibration.

As far as I can tell you did not actually do the impedance calibration setup properly.

That's my guess.
