Hello there world. I'm very very new to understanding the parts and how the work in speakers but have been listening through them for years now. I always loved be full sound, I thought maybe I can take my old Sony book self speakers and up grade them. Started out with a Chinese, as is everything, cross overs. Then I'm building walnut box for the. Next I would like to build from scratch. No kit. Not sure what else.
I'm 42 male with 4 mini wiener dogs and I like long walks on the beach
