DIY Build my own Avontone style speaker

    Having looked at a lot of mono monitoring speakers like the Aurotone C5, Avontones mix cubes, etc. I have discovered it would not be a bad idea to build my own as many people have with good results. I want to build a pair of passive speakers like the Littlepapercones (which are similar to the Aurotones but are now discontinued).

    My Questions are...

    1. I have the same drivers used for the Littlepapercones but am wondering do I need a crossover or can I just wire the speaker directly to the terminals?

    2. Given the relatively small size of such a speaker, does it matter what materials are used for the boxes, eg MDF, chip board? Or can I use a nice hardwood?

    I'm a newb to this kind of thing so go easy on me

    Hi,

    I've deleted your duplicate post on the other Home Entertainment forum, cross-posting this query is going to cause more confusion than help :D

    I've never heard of the items you mention in your post, if you haven't visited diyaudio already you might try there too, there's very little diy stuff that hasn't been tried there already.

    Cheers,

    Ritz
