Hi all,
I am new to speaker building. I have been lurking this site for about a month. I'm trying to learn as much as I can so I don't ask stupid questions or repeat questions that have been asked before. I've learned a tiny amount but building a speaker is much more technical than I thought. I think my 1st projects will be simple two ways with subwoofer support. I'd like to learn the basics of speaker cabinet design, driver selection and a little bit about passive and active crossovers.

Hello Dan S and welcome to diyAudio!
Don't be afraid of asking (supposedly) "stupid" questions. That's what drives this forum and starts interesting discussions!

Hi Dan, You might look for a good & simple 2 way that's been built and for which all the information is provided. Build that, exercising your aesthetic desires for wood type, colour, etc. with the crossover external. That way you can explore your own, alternative passive crossover (if you want to go down that rabbit hole) or an active crossover (as an alternate rabbit hole). After all that mucking about, you'll know how much further, or not, you'll want to adventure into the speaker building realm.
