Im pondering the idea of building some loudspeakers as my hobby this
summer, and Im wondering if it would be a waste of money, or if on your
first time you can make a fairly reasonable product. Im not looking to
spend too much money, since its my first shot at it. Id like to build
some bookshelf speakers, and Ive found some drivers that Id consider
using. All the components are McIntosh - Mcintosh 5-1/4 inch poly double
magnet midrange woofers, McIntosh stereo tweeters (4 ohm speakers with a
1 inch voice coil). I have access to an extensive woodshop that I can use
to build the cabinet. Id certainly spend some time researching as to the
proper method to build good speakers, but Im trying to gauge whether or
not its worth the effort to do so, or if they will come out sounding like
the 25 dollar Aiwa speakers from Best Buy. How much would i expect to
spend in addition to the drivers? Id liket o do it for ~200 bucks, so
there is obviously limitations on the quality that i can
achieve. Thanks for any input in advance!
