I am considering making my own soundbar built into a TV stand and equipment rack. There are lots of full range drivers out there to choose from that are pretty cheap, so I am thinking that is the way to go.
I have been looking at 2" full range, 3" full range, 2" x 3" cheapies (sellout at Parts Express or Madisound) or even a 5 1/4" coaxial Vifa/Audax combo and doing anywhere from 4-12 drivers (depends on size and resistance rating per the amp I choose).
I don't need to have epic sound, if I want that, I can go upstairs to the theater, this is going to be for our everyday viewing TV downstairs. I just want better sound than the flat panel TV speakers will give and don't want to always turn on the surround sound receiver.
Thoughts? Comments? Am I wacko for considering this and I should just go buy a pre-made soundbar?
