I'm thinking about building myself a set of speakers... What the heck, I have a huge shop filled with woodworking equip and more than average EE experience...

I see ads for software for calculating enclosures and Xovers, what have you guys used and liked?

Thanks!

Hello Paul

Well WinISD is freeware so you can begin with that. After that I would look into Bassbox.

Those are my favorites and both are not at all difficult to use.

I have 2 programs for crossovers one is X-Over Pro which is a sister program to BassBox the other is LEAP Crossover Shop. The first one is reasonable the LEAP is expensive but it's awesome when combined with a on baffle measurements. I purchased the LEAP when it was on sale a few months back. I hope to be using it in the next couple of weeks.
