dollar for donuts - if I needed a starter tool the 12" miter saw is the way to go.

Box stores sell various pieces cut from full sheets, 2 x 2, 2 x 4 etc. Or as many know, they will cut on the panel saw for a $1.00 or something like that.
Podus, what part of country are you in? Fabricating small boxes is not very difficult, shipping them is the issue
I live in southern california
No, no, no! I mean a fun project for you. First of all, I am also building my first 2 pairs of speakers in 20 years and trying to design the crossover myself. Being a new bee and I have not heard the result of my own creation yet, I am not qualified to do the crossover for you. I will be more than happy to share my trial and tribulation with you.
Paul Carmody has a very nice, easy to follow, write up on how to get started.

Paul uses the software suit created by Jeff Bagby. They are free wares.

It may not be the best suit for speaker simulation programs, but it has a relatively easy learning curve.
And of course, the sticky post by AllanB on this forum is a must read.
My project uses the Peerless HDS 830875 for woofer. The tweeter are the Dayton Audio RS28A-4 for one and the Vifa D27TG-35-06 for the other. Below is my cabinet in progress.
ODougbo, do you have any x-over specs for your creations and what is the tweeter?
I use 8" flutes ported in my car doors and I once had a site that had a few Silver Flute home designs and I lost it 🙁.
You help would be very very much appreciated!
To the OP, the flutes are one of my best friends...Do it!

I really appreciate it.
I have been looking for some tested flute designs, I am better with enclosures than crossovers.

I use an 24dbl/LR active crossover when not running full range drivers.
I'd recommend a rolls.
I found 2khz works well for the 8".
I tried 5khz for the 6.5", it worked but sweet spot was way too small, 3.5khz would've been better.
I've learned just because a driver's response looks good up high doesn't mean it sounds good up there.
But overall, great drivers for the money.
