I decided to start this thread and see how many of you OCforum members do DIY speakers and subwoofers etc. You can post pics or discuss any DIY project having to do with sound equipment here.
Heres a little back round about myself. I've been into sound equipment since I was 13 years old. Didnt get into DIY speaker and sub building untill I was about 15. I started with some cheapo car audio subwoofers and old desk pieces as an enclosure (lol i know). Since then i've done a lot of projects and I can safely say I'm hooked on DIY. Since I started building DIY audio equipment i've built about 8 subwoofers and a couple of main speakers. My latest project was a small 2 Cu ft ported sub designed around a Dayton titanic 1000 driver.
My current project is still in the design stages. I've ordered the tweeters and i have a pair of midbasses i'm going to test out with them. The tweeters are due early next month so i'm still going to have to wait a while before i can make any big progress. My idea is a kinda simple but unique one. I want to use a PVC pipe for the midbass enclosure and the tweeter will mount on top of the enclosure. The tube would be on its side and the midbass would mount in one the of the end caps i will make out of MDF.
So thats pretty much what i'm up to right now. If you have any project going or you've finished one in the past feel free to post some pictures so we can see your handy work!
