Hello everybody, Im here for a specific reason. Ive decided that I must build a pair of speakers for myself. However, I also instantly realize I know little about this topic.
Well, This is one huge grouping of questions, so be warned, this might be uncomfortable for most to read.
I am going to build a pair of floorstanding louspeakers. Thats settled. Should I put a woofer, a midrange speaker, and a tweeter in each stand? Or should I go with a sub in the middle with midranges and tweeter on the sides? Ill quickly throw out that im a jazz/acoustic listener in case that helps. I think I want to go with the 3 speaker per side setup, so now I need to choose some drivers. I need them to cover the audio range or match or whatever they should do, so are there any known foolproof combinations out there? What do I need to use these speakers once there built? Can I just use my receiver with its 8/4 ohm adjustment? Ive a couple of friends who are electricians so I can work out a schematic. How about speakerbox construction? I know woofers need their air volume and the boxes should be sealed and made of hardwood, but is there something else thats just as important? Lastly, if there is a complete tutorial for building speakers that has a finished sound quality greater than 1980's jbls or bose 301's id certainly consider it, I have not found one that is complete yet.
Well, those are the questions. I build instruments and ive decided sound is amazing, and I just cant settle with bad speakers anymore. Ive all the tools needed to build these, including the boxes. Thanks for any and all help.
