Speaker recipes & predesigns
Curated, ready-to-build loudspeaker designs — every one a real driver lineup in a validated enclosure with a matched crossover, checked by the same compatibility engine that powers the builder. Pick one as a starting point, then open it in the builder to adopt and tweak. Published Thiele/Small specs are nominal — verify by measurement before cutting wood.

Recipes are a curated starting point, not a guarantee — driver Thiele/Small parameters are manufacturer-published (nominal) and real cabinets, baffle layout and damping all shift the result. Always model the final box and measure before you build. Sine Design earns a commission on parts purchased through the buy links on each recipe.
