Creating a woofer is not as easy as listening to it. There are a lot of research behind every woofer model by big companies, and this is the reason why the woofers stay with the customers a long time. The first thing to create a woofer is to design a box for it in which its components will be fitted. A lot of things should be looked through if you want to create a box for a woofer like how much frequency it can stand, resonance and vibratory resistance, material for the box and the components to be fitted in. To calculate all these things, it is not an easy task to do by hand, and it takes a lot of time if you are going to do so. It would be challenging to know what-what impact it will create if you alter a part to the other part. That’s why box designing software are made and using them is a big help in creating a box with lesser time and accuracy. In the software, you can just put the dimensions of the woofer box and some other details like box type, shape and depth and it will automatically calculate all the possibilities for the given dimensions. With the software, you can also know very easily that what impact will be made on the other part if you alter one. A list of freeware is given.
