Has anyone here ever built their own speakers?

Can't seem to find a link but I have paper copies of everything. I could scan them in but I don't have the time right now.

Here is the link for a do-it-yourself speaker forum. This is a great forum for research on all audio/video...
DIY Speakers and Subs - AVS Forum

No but I did build a chiken pen once

Yeah, I'd love to see the plans for those bookshelfs creepus.

dabuffguy - you can get woofers and components pretty easy? Thing is I would need all the T/s parameters for the speakers to design around. If they aren't specified then its kind of like a shot in the dark.

I was thinking about something like this:
HTGuide Forum - It's time for a Statement announcing my latest project..

Parts express has a bunch of cool builds:
Parts-Express.com - Project Showcase Index: Browse Through Speaker Building Projects From The Last Four Years

Madisound Speaker Components, Inc. is another source of components and projects. They've been a supplier for several decades.

I built some book shelf speakers that rock. A guy who made 6K-10K a pair speakers wanted to get his name out so he posted up the whole plans for a pair of speakers that would cost around $350 to build. They rock and I'll put them up against $1200a pair B+W's any day. With a good sub they are sweet but they can hit 40hz no problem on their own. I could probably send you the info if your interested.

BTW you can run huge power through these with no problems, cristal clear.

Any follow-up???

if it makes you happy do it

Or are you jewish?

 

[UA_Iron]

Jewish? What an odd question.

Perhaps it relates to the money factor involved with this project?

I've had a rocking week and haven't looked for the plans. I have the plans and a parts list. Madisound is one of the supplers.

Let's say I scan the plans and parts list into my computer, how do I get them to you guys???

If I post them here don't think they'll be big enough to be useful.
