I am going to be converting my garage into a home theater this Spring with my inspiration and design being leveraged from this great build:
http://www.avsforum.com/t/1208912/the-cinemar-home-theater-construction-thread
Near the end of that build thread, he built his own sub, which led me to this forum. Now my interest is piqued and I would like to build whatever speakers I can for my room, but don't have any background on most of the audio theories that I see in this forum.
I have a full compliment of tools, so would rather build vs. buying a kit if possible. I was initially looking at Econowave Deluxe designs, but the build/summary thread for those leaves me not clear on how to start.
What would you guys propose? Should I stick to just building subs for my theater or is it feasible that I could be successful building any number of my 7/9 speakers that I will be using in my configuration? Is there anything more along the lines of a "guide" that doesn't involve reading 900 pages of posts to try to discern what is needed? I am not scared of the effort involved, just looking for a little more guidance than what I am finding.
For reference, my room will be 21' L x 15' W x 9' H. Planning on 9.2 setup, AT screen. Do not have any amps or receivers yet. Not married to the Econonwave if there are more suitable alternatives. Price is obviously a concern, but somewhere under $400/speaker for LCR would be desired.
Any opinions or help would be appreciated.
