I've been doing a bunch of reading on DIY speakers. It started with me wondering if I could make cheap wall speakers using the raw drivers and parts. After more reading, I'm considering a full on speaker project or two.


I've boiled some speaker and enclosure making theory and thought I'd list it to see how wrong I have it:S I have no experience in this....but have a DIY spirit and tend to get things workin.


I'm thinking a full range driver to start - like I said, new to this..


Speaker driver alone: Tinny all around, good soundstaging, no bass

Speaker driver + small enclosure: Deeper sound, better mids, barely any bass.

Bass increases with size of enclosure


On the right track?

If were you at this point, I would define what I wanted in my music reproduction, both is sound and in monetary cost. Then you can read up on what you need to know to accomplish your goals. I know all about the learning curve. After being marginally out of it for about 25 years I came back to a Brave New World. And having the space, the time, and a bit more money, i wanted to build the best I possibly could. I had to do a lot of learning.


What is it that you want to have, and how much do you want to pay? What kind of music do you listen to?
