Subwoofer design software

What is the best/easiest to use design software for speakers?

All the commercial subs I'd like are £500+ so thought I might try my hand at a bit of DIY

Yes, WinISD's nice and easy to use, too. I certainly use this to play around. Help files are fairly useful and comprehensible, too!

Bassbox Pro 6 is the best software around at a sensible price. Look here:- LINK

And I just happen to have a genuine copy for sale.

HERE:- bassbox

Yours for £50 inc.

Thanks all, I've had a little play around with WinISD and my first thought was 'wow what a lot of drive units there are out there'
My second was that this is a whole lot easier than reading The loudspeaker design cookbook.

So mixmanx, Bassbox has a lot of features, which are the ones you use that make it better than something that is free.

Seriously I'd make an offer (in the classifieds forum) if it has something special.

I had Eminence Speaker Designer before upgraging to Bassbox, and it is pretty good, but Bassbox is a lot better.
