Build my own speakers?


I am wondering if I buy the best components like scan speak-revalator tweeters and such if it can be possible. I am thinking it can for a fraction of the dealer cost of a new top of the line speakers made. With all the sites out on the web for cabinet design and such. Speakers with the revalator tweeter sale for $20,000 and up. The tweeter is only about $400 brand new.

Unless you are a cabinet maker, and finisher, your speakers are not going to look good when done. I have built lots of furniture so i know what I ca and can't do... Do you?

There are lots of general ideas on how to build speakers, but very few specific ideas.

Your drivers are going to have to work in the volume of your cabinets. Your cabinets are going to have to work in your room.

One of the biggest issues is you crossover design and manufacture.

There are so many critical variables you need to know, do you know them?

i think there is more to speaker design than just a well-braced cabinet and premium drivers. crossover design and implemenation is also a very intergral part of the overall package. i'm not saying you can't build something spectacular that can compete with the big boys for a fraction of the price, i just think it might be a tad more complicated than you really think. good luck though. nothing ventured...
Check out the system of member 240zracer. He has a pair of the best looking DIY speakers I've seen. They don't look homemade.
