Speaker Software

jleaman · 17th September 2006, 06:31 PM

Ok im going to attempt to build another pair of speakers but take more time into proper values and box sizes and proper calculations and a decent crossover if i have to.

Can any one suggest some software to run on pc/mac that I can use to play with box sizes before building the boxes ? I’m making a 2 way book shelf speaker with 91db efficient drivers both drivers are 91db efficient. ID like to go ported if I can. But sealed is ok. Later on ill build a pair of subwoofers to throw down that extra little kick..

Maybe a pair of sealed / ported 8” subwoofers nothing over powering but something to give what these speakers wont.

Drivers are Davis 6.5"
and a seas 1" soft dome

Both were expensive drivers and now i want to get down to building them into a book shelf type enclosure.

I can post drivers information if some one wants it.

Thanks

Jase

WinISD is a nice program to use:

If you have access to Excell, then Unibox is by far the best free box designer.

Google is your friend

run: unibox, software

and it will end up atop of the list.

EDIT:
that's funny, i went to check out the unibox software myself, and in the meanwhile Pinkmouse had already replied with the exact same phrase as I did.

Anybody else get the "This File is Password Protected" error with Unibox?

Geek, you can't edit the equations in the spreadsheet, it's password protected, was that what you were trying to do?

Just open it. It won't load on either OpenOffice or M$ Office unless I enter a password.

Hmm. Looks like the same version. I'll fire up the PC and check. It does use macros, so it might fall over if you have your security settings up too high I suppose?
