Built a speaker design tool I wish existed when I started – feedback appreciated

[EirikDyrset]

I’ve built SoundForm, a new tool for DIY speaker builders, and it’s now ready for beta testing.

I made it because this is exactly the kind of tool I wish I had when I started out. The goal is to make the speaker design process easier, clearer, and more approachable.

It’s free to use, and I’d really love feedback on what works, what feels unclear, and what should be improved.

If you’d like to try it, comment below or send me a message and I’ll share access.

Thanks a lot — any feedback means a lot at this stage.

Attached are some screenshots from the app

I would be interested to give it a try
Thank you

Very very interesting! Is it windows only? Perhaps browser based and OS independent? If it is browser based, I'd like to try it. Thank you.

Does the app suggest a crossover design?

Would be fun to experiment with, try out. I’m in the very early stages of planning for a build.

I'd like to try, please.

If it adds drivers, their parameters and dimensions automatically that would be magic! If so, how these are fed into its database?

 

[DanielT]

Interesting. Does it work with Android?

Interested for testing, please share the share

Hi Eirik, would love to try that out. Sounds like a really useful resource and tool, especially for the timid and inexperienced!cheers

Some of it, but not fully. There will be 90% full support in a few weeks.

Hi all. The app is available at https://soundform-build-buddy.lovable.app. Keep in mind that this is still an early prototype, and that it has flaws. E.g., not all the calculations are 100%, so please don't build anything or order materials for builds just yet.

This looks awesome. I can't wait to load my current build into this. Great job!

I am unable to proceed because there are no coaxial drivers listed, or the woofers I want to use. Is it limited to two way only?

Here are a couple of things i noticed while quickly going through it.
1. when choosing a vented box, it doesn't seem to carry over to later stages (nothing about port size or a hole for it)
2. prices are in NOK
3. no projected frequency response

Just tried it. It has the beginnings of an amazing tool! The visual part alone is worth developing it for.

It may be that you are trying to work out too many things at the same time - some of the outputs are at a very deep level of detalisation e.g. what hand tools are needed and exact cuts etc. It may be better to concentrate on getting the higher-level stuff right first like (at the expense of details - these can be added later):
- three ways, four-ways, side mounted woofers, subwoofers
- different driver types e.g. horns, waveguides, ribbons etc. shapes e.g. rectangular, oval etc.
- full set of filters available, passive and active
- very significant extension to driver database and verification of the data - it must be trusted

 

[ppataki]

Great start!!

I would love to see:
- an option to be able to add drivers that are not in the list
- an option to add multiple drivers and driver configurations (like push-pull, push-push, Bessel array, various wiring options like series, parallel, series-parallel, etc.)

Thank you

Yes it does in a simple way as of now. But more advanced will come later.
