Bass enclosure design resources

[davedave]

Hi all.
I'm starting my final year at uni in September and for my independent study module I am doing a research paper on modern lightweight bass cabs.

It's going to be a challenge as I'm a little bit clueless on the subject.
I'm going to build a Fearful cab or two and plan on tackling some of Bill Fitzmaurice 's designs.
My Google-fu has got me so far, but I was hoping that some of you fine people may be able to recommend me some reading matter.
I'm well aware that Alex Caber and Bill Fitzmaurice are active on hear so hopefully they will be kind enough to advise me.
I've downloaded winisd so far and started to compile a spread sheet of specs that I'll be using with it.
Are there any other programs that do the same job that I should also look at.
Many thanks in advance.
Dave.

I use WinISD Pro (7) and HornResp. Coming up with the numbers is virtual child's play. Translating the numbers into a viable design is where the work lies.

Hi Bill.
Cheers for getting in touch. I've certainly got a mountain to climb with this project.
I'm looking forward to the challenge though. Is there any reading you can recommend on the theory side to get me going please?
All help is much appreciated.
