Has anyone here ever built their own speakers?

Yes, a long time ago. I found that if you mathematically design your boxes they tend to be much larger than what you may find on the shelf for sale. The tuned ports are also a science. Theres more to it than building a box, throwing in some big speakers, and sticking a cardboard tube in a hole. Personally I prefer to just buy the crap now a days.

Yes there is more to it.
