Good starters guide to speaker box design?

[Fusion916]

Is there a good tutorial for complete newbies on speaker box design? From scratch with drivers in hand. For both 2 way and 3 way designs.

The David Weems book was my introduction. It's a very good introductory book. I got mine at a Radio Shack store 20 yrs ago. They're still available at Amazon and may still be a R.S. Don't know.
Here's a link to Amazon's copy;

Good book but not for beginners in my opinion.

I agree.

I think it was my second book.

The book "how to design,build and test speakers"(may have got the title wrong) by david B weems, was my first book. It took me 15 years to grasp the complete meaning of all the formulae for speakers, crossovers etc. The radio shack version .... way too vague. LDCB is much more insightful and explanatory if read carefully, and easily digestible if cross referenced with info from sites like this. But to each his own.
