Default How to design/build Dj monitors

Hi could any help / lend advise on creating some dj monitors like the one attached, whilst also using budget component and probably not so round a design to help reduce construction difficulty

Thanks in advance

Sorry but I can't get the point . If you like it ,you like it because it is roundish
and has a quasi-coaxial tweeter mounted in front of the woofer.
Making the box shouldn't be difficult,looking at the two large holes in the bottom I realized the woofer chamber is triangular and exits with two mirrored expanding vents.It's not quite a reflex and definitively not a double horn,the length should be much much longer. Probably they are designed to be stacked ,adding more SPL.That should be the reason why the tweeter is mounted that way.That should also mimic the typical equalization which is all bass-all treble-no midrange ,because with the tweeter nearly covering the woofer you kill lots of midrange emission .So , natural reproduction is not the target of this speaker , I guess .
Ok , ...demolition accomplished !!! Sorry ! Something "constructive" ?
A simple box with tough speakers !

booth monitors are usually used very close range so long-throw horns are not a good idea. Also, they still need to be loud to keep up with the rest of the system. I built these around a year ago:

It uses a 10" woofer, 2-way crossover into a pair of 4" mids with a bullet tweeter tacked on top. Works very well.

DJs suck, what you need is a rock and roll monitor.
