Im looking for a simple crossover designer software. Preferable Mac
I´ve got these seas fa22rcz in an MLT built speakerbox. I build them using a pre designed enclosure and crossover/notchfilter. Im happy with the result but Ive done som A-B testing against a pair of studio monitors and HiFi stereo ive had for years. I can clearly hear potential improvements I could tweak. Ive already experimented wit different resistors, and that has brought me closer to where I want but not close enough.
Im curious of how changing the inductors, resistors and capacitors will effect the frequencies.
A easy peasy software where I could put in different values of my components and get the frequency on to a graph would be what Im looking for. I don´t have the money to buy different softwares to try out, (there are so many) so Im asking you experienced "DIY nerds" if you got any good suggestions for me?
If there is a site where I could publish my crossover design and get a reference frequency description online just by putting in different values, that could probably work too. Im happy with knowing what changing the value to lets say: just the inductor in my SUG filter would do. Less midrange between 400-1.5K? as an example.
Im actually considering adding a super tweeter to my full range speakers. So in that case i need a program to design the crossover. I just dont see any obvious program to choose. What would be the easiest software for a first timer DIY??
Its a long post I know, but answer one or all of my questions or not. I would sincerely appreciate any advice!!
Cheers

I don't know of any XO software that runs natively in OS X. Free or paid versions of WINE will let you run some Windoz software without owning Windows, and there are free & paid virtualizers that let you run windows on your Mac.
I run my FA22 in a sealed box with no filters (both before & after extensive driver mods, no pictures yet)
