What sort are you thinking about building? I keep toying with building either the flat panel speakers made out of foam-core board from Tech Ingredients on YouTube, or the big giant speakers he made.

I'm hoping to build "small but might" type bookshelf speakers - I don't live in a large house and I might move so I don't want to have large/heavy speakers. Using DSP quite some impressive things are possible.

Thanks for the links, I think I've seen (parts of) both videos but now that I have learnt a lot more I think I'll pick up more info.

Btw there have been a few valid criticisms of these speakers, although it's more of a "they aren't really the best in the world" rather than "they're shit" type of critique. I think ASR forums or diyaudio.com might have a few thread(s) on it.


Have you seen this video from DIY Perks? https://youtu.be/XEspOD1NHr0?si=MpFTZaMYsfNdSrAU


Thanks for the link, yes I have seen it. While it's not a bad build, from what I've heard + my own opinion, it's a bit poorly designed - you could get better performance at the same cost with a different set of components, or target and get similar sound for probably half the cost.

If you're curious for a speaker build there are lots of excellent speaker kits and resources online that are (much) better reviewed.
