diy speakers?

Any pre-cut kit will only require wood clamps and glue to assemble. Most of the manual labor time will actually be spent finishing--it's kind of a pain to really sand/treat/paint/etc your kit, especially MDF.

The Overnight Sensations are a fantastic set of speakers for really quite cheap, and will work for nearfield (i.e. your computer): http://www.parts-express.com/overnig...-pair--300-706

I built some Amigas for a living room setup. They're a little more, somewhere around $350-400 total:

One of these summers I'm going to build the Statements:

Here's a few shots of my Amiga build:









For a party speaker, the TriTrix will be louder (Amiga is better listening, IMO, I've built both):

I really enjoy the DIY stuff. You're basically getting 5-10x the speaker quality by cost, in exchange for 5-10 hours of work.

Wow those look amazing! Those Amiga's look sweet. I'm not an expert on painting, how did you get them with that black finish? Looks nice. Those statements look awesome as well.

Also I saw two builds on Amiga .. Normal and flat pack.. Confused on that.. Is one shipped premade and the other not ?
