My favorite is Speaker Workshop (free from <A HREF="http://www.speakerworkshop.com">www.speakerworkshop.com</A>) and I have some tutorials on how to use it under the Audiofiles section at the link below. Speaker Workshop is very powerful once you learn how to use it. I use it to take measurements and model crossovers. I also use a lot of the FRD Consortium tools too and have a tutorial on the use of them that you should probably read too. Hope that helps.

The FRD consortium tools are fantastic. Takes a little getting used to on the interfaces, but once you do, they are great.

If you want a great software modeler that allows you to account for driver arrangement on the baffle, acoustic centers etc, then the passive crossover designer ver 4.00 is what you need. All you need to run it is Microsoft Excel and some plug-ins. <A HREF="http://www.pvconsultants.com/audio/crossover/pcd.htm">http://www.pvconsultants.com/audio/crossover/pcd.htm</A>

Otherwise, Isaac MCN has a good one too. <A HREF="http://www.pvconsultants.com/audio/c...r/xoversim.htm">http://www.pvconsultants.com/audio/c...r/xoversim.htm</A>

His doesn't allow for driver offsets (really only a problem at the tweeter XO point), but it does get you very close to the final product.
