DIY Bookshelf 2-way speakers
I have some SB Acoustics drivers, that I have been hoarding and decided to build myself some sweet sounding bookshelf speakers.
Since this is my first time building my first X-overs, I decided to use a proven design that is available from Meniscus in a kit form. I e-mailed Mark and asked if I could just buy the x-over parts, separately, since I already had the drivers that were included in the speaker kit.

Sweet!. What are your cab ideas?
Re: DIY Bookshelf 2-way speakers
I will be using the parameters around which the x-over was designed.
The cab is going to have an internal volume of 15.5 liters, ported. (2"id x 8" long)

How much do you think it would cost for somebody to duplicate this project?

Nice, but was more interested in materials. Assumed you would model them.

The final enclosure design, is still in the air.
I may try to fab something with curves, rather than a traditional box.
Re: DIY Bookshelf 2-way speakers
$80 for the x-over parts, the woofers are $65 each, tweeters are $55 each . Or you could by it in kit form from Meniscus for $357(enclosure not included) http://meniscusaudio.com/mandolin-pair-p-1244.html

Nice, about to start on my 1st HA project, little more adventurous*: 3-way floor standers using mid and a ribbon/tweeter, TQWT enclosure and then a sub woofer T-TQWT. I decided to go active with my set up, largely because I cannot get crossover parts as easily in the UK, my soldering skills suck and I can cheat a lot with miniDSP (when funds allow, a little more basic active crossover for the moment). Scored a Sonance Sonamp 12ch on ebay for £150-retails at £1500 over here-30wpc@8ohm or 45@4ohm or bridgeable pairs.
So, I look forward to seeing your build progress and hope I can pick up some tips along the way!

Sorry I haven't had time to work on this project...my StreetFighter bike project is tying up my spare time.
Not in the mood for F-Ging or breathing MDF so I just ordered a pair of enclosures from P-E. I will update as soon as they arrive.
