Extreme DIY

If you’ve ever thought about building your own speakers and are looking for a little inspiration, here it is in the form of a speaker built by DIYer Mark in Latvia.

The speaker was built from plans on Troels Gravesen’s Denmark-based website, DIY Loudspeakers.

To follow in Mark’s footsteps you’ll need around $5,000 for the Seas drivers and crossover parts, a great wood shop, master woodworking skills (or a cooperative and patient friend with both who works cheap!), about two years' time, and a lot of faith that you'll like the way they sound.

Construction photos and a note from the DIYer can be found here.

Here's the crossover in a slightly less ambitiously styled, Wilsonian Alexia-like cabinet:
