Try winISD, which if free, or BassBox pro, which costs 79 bucks I think

if you think that you can justify more money, Termpro has a nice system. I have used it for years (including the upgrades), and I love it. Easy to use and gives you a ton to work with. Go to www.termpro.com and have a look at the termpro or termpak kit

Good luck

if you are going to use winisd
go here up update the database.
http://members.aol.com/Dertaboy/Car_...inISD_Pro.html

i have both bass box and winisd. if you load up the same driver in each progam you will get very diffent results...

bass box has a larger driver database but offers no online support (that i know of)
winisd had there own forum dedicated to helping ppl useing winisd.

imo winisd > bass box

neither of these progams will draw you a box plans. they only give you suggestions of box size tuneing and sq" of port

Not true... BassBox pro will give you a cut sheet, and port diameter, and length.

opps i forgot to add it gives you port length and diamter but winisd also does that.
i also never realized bass box gave you a cut sheet. but try loading up a 1 cf (12x12x12) vented box with a slot port 10.5" high 1" wide.all it will say is port does not fit in the box.it will not wrap the port in the box. oh well.

Winisd has always been good to me. Designed about 4 boxes with it, and all have turned out fairly well. I have no experience with bass box pro, but if you don't plan to use all the crazy features or even if you just wanna get your feet wet first, win isd is a good start.
