Custom Speaker Making

I've put together this page to help those who know that speaker prices in the stores can be ridiculous and no guarantee of quality. 

If you don't want to do anything but unpack speakers, consider buying complete speaker systems from reputable custom speaker builders such as:

• Taylor Speakers
• Selah Audio
• Fritz Speakers

Fully built systems from around $2,500 to $5,000 are typical and will beat most speakers at $20,000 in a store.

If you want to learn more about building speakers yourself, please start by visiting these sites:

• DIY Multi-way speaker forums.
• Parts Express Project Gallery
• Madisound kits
• Zaph's ageing pages on parts and kits
• Troels Gravesen's incredibly detailed kits and discussions, designs are not free, but kits are very reasonably priced.
• Meniscus Audio a messy site with tons of kits including some from Jeff Bagby.
• Parts Connexion for boutique crossover parts
• Solen Great when the Loony is weak and US Dollar is strong, and have some unique kits
• AudioHobby European site, again, great to buy from when the dollar is strong. 
• SonicCraft - Small selection, but great discounts on high end caps 

Of course, I'm quite proud of the free DIY kits I have published on this blog, you can start by looking at the LM-1 posted here as well as my review of other kits here.
