Speaker design software

tuckers · 31st July 2009, 11:00 PM

Is there any speaker design software that an experienced audiophile without much speaker building knowledge could use to figure out enclosure sizes and designs for some speaker projects?

Basically I will be modifying some known designs. I know the drivers I will be using, but want to improve the enclosures.

Interested in that too.
I am currently using an old A-cad SW not the best, there must be something better.
Specially for redition of the enclosure.

What do you want the software to do? What do you mean by design?

If performance is an important issue, there is no software that can do the decisions for you. But if you are looking for an integrated package, SoundEasy is the most bang for the buck, and covers most common enclosure types. After drivers are measured, the design process basically follows the pull down menues from left to right.

The manuals can be found here.

Use PiAlign (non comercial) from Wayne Parham at Pi Speakers. I also use a lot WinISD.
