Does anyone know a box modelling system which can output (most likely as well as graphs) the results ie/ eg the dB at Hz, - in numbers? In increments of say 5 or 10 dB
Goal: to save a lot of when comparing a “number of” options what I’m hoping some knows of
To compare the outputs of a number of different drivers much easier and quicker if the predicted dB figures (almost certainly as well as in graphs) are available in a simple, table of two rows. eg
16 Hz 20 Hz 30 Hz etc
x dB y dB …
< fyi I’ve always used Unibox, it’s excellent. even calculates impulse response 🙂 >
For 1, 2 up to a dozen drivers/ alternative alignment combinations graphs are fine. But it multiplies
To reduce room modes most likely I’d do two subs.
It’s a sizable investment, money, time and room space. So I’d like to model - don’t know yet, certainly more than 10, likely a lot more
As you’d imagine: size, number, manufacturers, and models
Deciding between one or two 12 inches/ one or two 15 inches/ an 18. five possible options - from a manufacturer who only offers one driver of each size.
Several of the better manufacturers have a much wider range. Yes you can get a fair idea from the specs which models are likely to be right for the application. But there would still be a few you might want to check. Off the top of my head there’s at least half a dozen manufacturers who make mostly excellent subs.
If you have data in a table form - for each driver/ alignment just copy & paste the two rows into a spreadsheet. comparing multiple options would be far easier than trying to compare different graphs.
Depending on the scale and size of the graphs, looking at a curve, you can probably estimate the numbers within a few dB. Do that on even five or 10 separate graphs, vs being able to put the actual numbers without estimating, all in one place. …

VituixCAD by Kimmo Saunisto has this feature - it's accessed by the "Export SPL" button on the top row of the enclosure simulator tool.

To be honest I thought there might be any
So many thanks, David
I’d heard people really like Vituix. The only box modeller whose name ends with CAD. I’ll check it out 👍

Just looked through its table of functionality
if you got on top of 3/4 of it you could design some cracker speakers
