build my first speakers

I'm looking to build my first pair of speakers. I don't even know where to begin......Do I need to know how to read schematics?

Hi DC,

There are many resources for kits & projects. Need a little more info from you.

What do you want to use them for? HT, music?

How large a room?

What's more important clarity or thump?

What kind of woodworking skills and tools do you have? There are a lot of excellent kits and pre-made cabinets out there if you don't want build that part of the speaker.

As far as reading schematics go, crossovers are pretty easy and straight forward (hell even I can read them).

Take a look at Parts Express Projest Forum:

Maybe it'll help you get a better idea of what you're looking for.
