That's actually what I used when I designed the boxes I'm using now and it worked well. I hadn't heard many negatives about Bass Box Pro, although I had used Wayne Harris' TermPro when I did car audio. I have a wholesale account at PE, but the point of this thread was to find out why one program is better than another. I have had the Loudspeaker Design Cook Book for as long but it's not exactly current. The first time was in about '87 and I'm glad I don't need to do it that way now. Also, I have designed boxes using a set of formulae on a sheet of paper and I'm not interested in repeating that. That just doesn't make much sense, to me.

I was planning to get the parameters and compare with the stated specs but I can't see why a manufacturer of drivers wouldn't have better software than people like us.

I was reminded of this suite in a PM and it jogged my memory- I know someone who has the full boat, so I'll call them. If I was a full-time speaker manufacturer, I could justify it but that's not gonna happen now. If you don't have it yet, get Vance Dickason's Loudspeaker Design Cookbook and Joseph D'Appolito's Testing Loudspeakers for a better understanding.Д¬lick to expand.The last time I looked at LEAP was in about '96 and even then, it was about $2000. Again, the formulas are well understood, but the better data you have for the driver, the better results you get. LEAP also has one of the better diffraction engines.Д¬rossover design really needs good measurement data to get it right. LEAP also can use the standard Thiele/Small constants, but the accuracy is less.

LEAP5 also relies on accurate driver measurements, but instead of using Thiele/Small constants, LEAP uses the driver impedance curves at various power levels and specific mechanical measurements of the driver's motor to achieve a much higher accuracy with the model. If you measure your drivers you will get a result that better matches the real world. The accuracy you get depends on how you do that. SoundEasy does not contain a library of drivers. This is not very accurate and the right way is to measure those parameters yourself. Bass Box Pro provides a large list of drivers, but the modeling algorithm relies on published Thiele/Small constants from the manufacture. The trick to modeling the drivers' behavior is in the driver's model. I should add that the formulas for designing a box are well known and not the magic that makes one software package really better than another. So, in the end you still need to know what you are doing as a designer and why, but once you have that learning under your belt you will get more value out of SoundEasy by a wide margin.

TLS Guy uses it, but as he confessed to me, he fully understands its limitations and knows how to compensate for them. Bass Box Pro is far easier to learn, but since Bass Box Pro skips a lot of important details you really need to know what you are doing when it comes to loudspeaker design. It is a complete suite (including testing for loudspeakers and drivers) and it does everything you want and more. I don't think much of BassBox Pro and X-Over Pro as a useful software package and you probably can't afford LEAP5.ДЇor that kind of money I would consider SoundEasy v17. Thanks in advance, for any insight on this. Will Bass Box Pro do this better than WinISD? Ideally, I'd like to have a box design that produces good extension (I'm not looking for 20Hz and it's not needed) has baffle step compensation, the best crossover for the application (WRT Linkwitz-Reilly, or ?) and an impedance compensation network, as needed. He's using an Audio Research power amp and it has 4, 8 and 16 Ohm taps, so the impedance won't be a problem. I would like to build a pair for a customer, using two of the 830874 and one Peerless BC25SG15-04 in each box, with the woofers wired parallel. WinISD shows a similar box volume to what Mark (TLSguy) shows in his NASP design, using the Peerless 830874 woofer ( ). I'm just trying to find out what works well without having to waste time trying something and finding out it's not what I want/need after the fact. I want to be able to do baffle step compensation, Zobel, smoothing networks and L-Pad. I want to be able to design 2, 2.5 and 3 way systems, with more than just a 2 component 2nd order filter (what I'm able to do in WinISD). What are the pros/cons of the better versions, Bass Box Pro and other popular software packages? Just about everyone I ask has a different opinion and I see some here who swear by what they use.

I have the free version of WinISD and it's limited in its abilities.
