Hello,

Im a total noob and want to learn more about the wonderful art of speaker building. The combination of woodworking/cabinetry, speakers and electronics has always fascinated me.
Now that my kids are getting older, I MAY have sometime to dive into a novice speaker build, but want to research all my options first.

  • To whom more was given more will be required.
    • Never go to a psychiatrist, adopt a straycat or dog. On the street they live only two years average.

Welcome to AC.

PNW is big space. Where specifically? The PNW is well represented here - got folks from Oregon, Washington, Idaho, B.C. I’m in the Willamette Valley.
