I found a lot of information in the "Loudspeaker Design Cookbook"
Cookbook
They also have another book with some useful info, a little more practical approach about designing and testing speakers.
the other book
I find them both useful, but the cookbook is probably to be regarded as the bible of DIY speaker builders, I would say.

Loudspeaker Design Cookbook was my first option too, but I didn't know how much it focuses on the theoretical part. I was under the impression that it is rather oriented on the practical part.
Thanks for the tip.
Testing Loudspeakers by Joe D'Appolito is a GREAT place to start.

I really enjoyed the "Loudspeaker and headphones handbook" by John Borwick
http://www.britishaudio.co.uk/jborwick.html
It is more complete than the cookbook.

I think the title is very mis-leading. The book covers all sorts of issues to be considered if you want to build a speaker. (The drivers construction principles, filter considerations and formulas, box design principles are covered, etc.). The 6th edition even has a description for a speaker design, based on some of the theory. I don't recall the previous edition to have any "cookbook" designs at att (I may be wrong), but I don't think the title fits the contents well. I like the book nonetheless.
