How to Build Custom Speakers

Step 25 Enjoy

Once you discover how simple and rewarding custom speaker building can be, you may want to build more of them...I certainly did at least.

Here's to many great speaker projects, thick strong cabinets, the latest and greatest speaker drivers, and doughy-eyed grins at the end of our favorite songs.

Really great write up. It was very descriptive and the many pictures helped a lot. I have a few questions, however. 1) What exactly were the induction coils for? I understand the crossovers, but the coils are over my head. 2) What tools do you deem as absolutely necessary for this project? I'm in college and consider myself a "budding" audiophile. As such, I don't have very many tools amassed yet, and this greatly interests me. Do I NEED a table saw? The jig / plunge router thing I would need, as well as pipe clamps. Anything else? 3) What are some good songs to test equipment on? Any current songs you know of? I have yet to listen to Pink Floyd's music (Never brought up on it D: ) Need something my ears are already accustomed to so I can hear the difference in equipment. If thats valid. Again great job! I love the design on the tower speakers.

Amazing Instructable. I've been searching for a project for a while now. I'm pretty set on making some speakers after reading this and looking at the beauties you've created. I just hope drivers are as easy to find (and as affordable :O) in the UK as they are in the US. My Dad raised me on Pink Floyd and I couldn't think of anything better to break in some fresh speakers, it would also be interesting to compare them to the Wharfdale/Kef/Tannoy's we have.
Thanks a bunch :D
