@FiyaFly is a lucky guy

@Mike-Ralston I try to make all of my own stuff, but outside of some very specific Raspberry Pi power stuff, power scares me. I really don't know enough about it.

Yeah. That's the only stuff I've played with. I'd love to create my own speakers etc. Are you planning on writing a guide by chance?

You have to study crossover design. Nothing to know for speakers themselves.

Most speaker design is in the crossover and cabinet.

Except for Bose, most of their design is in the marketing.

Any resources I can read or watch?

B.O.S.E - Bring Other Sound Equipment

@wirestyle22 As far as resources, most of the guys (and a few gals as well) I know who do it are either self-taught, or took courses on electrical engineering, and figured it out from there. Good places to talk to people who know what they're doing are www.tapeheads.net, there's a few guys on www.headfi.org who know speakers, mostly as a byproduct of their obsession with headphones, and a decent place to get started is www.diyaudioandvideo.com. I personally learned what I know about electronics from pulling things apart and learning how to restore old tube stereos from some local and online people.
EDIT: One thing to note, speaker design as far as the cabinet goes is extremely understated. You get the wrong volume of air inside, by just a little bit, and it'll sound blown, or if you put speakers designed to be acoustic suspension in a cabinet that's set up for bass reflex.@brianlittlejohn LOL, so I'm not alone in thinking BOSE is awful stuff. I keep seeing old BOSE gear go for sky-high prices worthy of some really special stuff, and they sound awful.
