Might be cheaper to just buy ready made speakers from konzert and the like, not unless may special requirement ka.

Thanks qguy. this is what i am acutally have in mind. Medyo mahirap pa sa akin ang DIY at sobrang bago ko pa lang sa sounds... mahilig lang kumanta.. I'm planning to get the KSS-12 of konzert from what i see sa mga reviews nito. Siguro in the near after a year or two pag nag upgrade ako bago DIY na.

Thanks also sa iba pang sumagot.

Just want to share my 1st DIY speaker project... on-progress.

Specifications:
Drivers - Universal Sound, 8" FR courtesy of bro. chorus.
Enclosure - 19mm ordinary plywood
Design - Pensil modified [depth=360mm]
Damping - not yet installed.
Binding post - not yet installed.
Finish - TBA
Total Cost - Php. 4k so far

Note: i asked my neighborhood wood work shop to cut the plywood, i did the enclosure assembly in a day. using only wood glue & nails, no clamp. at 7pm, i hooked the pair in my Topping TP20-Mark2. Tomorrow, i"ll install binding post & damping materials courtesy of neighborhood upholstery shop.

SQ [initial] - Not expecting much about this, pero iba talaga ang FR especially sa vocal, instrumental, jazz, chamber music. Even tried Beethoven's Symphony # 9, heard details that i'm not aware off before.
My favourite piece - Hendrix's Little Wing, sarap ng guitar solo. Tama lng ang highs, hindi rin bitin ang lows. Ayus din ang attack. [Hirap mag describe ng sound, pinuyat ako ng speaker na to kaka-kinig]

[Gino]

I like it.

originally, ang plano ko sa enclosure na ito eh as a mock-up bago ako gumawa uli pag nakuha ko na ang proper design & materials.
yes, sir, nakakawala talaga ng pagod pag masaya ka sa resulta ng ginagawa mo. salamat sa inyo mga masters  dito sa pDVD dami kong natutunan.

[deist]

[fredreadrick]

thank you sir.

thanks, marine ply would cost more...

[fredreadrick]

thanks, marine ply would cost more...

yes sir, but next time i'll opt for MDF... ingat lng sa water/moisture.

[Nelson de Leon]

thanks, marine ply would cost more...

Or plyboard baka masmaganda kesa local plywood.

[deist]

most recommended by experienced builders online is birch plywood, meron bang source locally? it would definitely cost more but its density & stiffness is way better than mentioned above.

[Chorus]

Bro yan na ba yung FR natin?hehehe subwoofer nalang kulang nyan.

BTW ano sound card gamit mo?

Nice HTPC case pabulong price

Thanks

yes bro, ito nga yong galing sa 'yo ginawan ko ng enclosure kahit madalian lng, sayang nman kung nakatengga.
 di na siguro kelangan ng subwoofer, though specified na 80hz lng bottom nito, pakirandam ko mas malalim pa. to confirm my feeling - i played Stereophile test CD, 50hz naririrnig ko pa. siguro nadaan sa laki ng enclosures [W260*D360*H910mm].
Musiland 02 US Dragon, uwi ko p galing abroad ung Case, nsa 300usd ata sa net ang price.
salamat sa yo bro - ito ang 1st FR ko.

Update:
Installed the binding posts & damping materials yesterday.
Results - mas buo & tight ang lows, gumanda ang mids though subtle lng , same with soundstage-konting improvement sa maliit kong listenning room.
