There is so much to learn

dukesos · 24th January 2009, 07:02 PM

Hello from London, UK, my name is Dukes.

I have been rebuilding a lot of blown speaker units and have enjoyed reading about crossovers and drivers.

Currently learning alot about DIY audio, in general, and very interested (although starting from scratch) in a couple potential budget hobbies:

1.
Building a pair of active studio monitors to equal or better the KRK Rokit 6 specification.

2.
Rebuilding home speakers, adding some sort of protection, for party situations when people abuse the volume knob.

Any advice would be warmly welcomed.

Many Thanks,
Dukes

Hello Dukes and welcome to the forums. If you take your questions over to the loudspeaker section you'll likely get a better response than here in Introductions. Good luck with the project(s)
