DIY Speakers


I have been building and designing speakers since late in high school.  I found that building your own speakers can yield MUCH better results than what a few hundred dollars can get you in a store.  So as to not bore one with the numerous speakers designed and created, I will simply list what I think are important system design components and considerations of a speaker.
    • Crossover design and purpose
    • Box design, system Q
    • Zobel filters
    • Numerous butterworth and linkwitz riley filters
    • Linkwitz Transform circuits
    • Baffle diffraction
    • Baffle step
    • Notch filters
    • Contour filters
    • Open Baffle and room interaction
    • Harmonic distortion
    • Resonance frequency
    • Different cone material properties
    • Lobing patterns
Below is a list of speakers designed along with pictures.
* More pictures coming soon!
