Do it 'Yourselfers' - Cheap speakers

[Analog]

5.25" woofer $5.39

Horn Tweeter $1.50


Not sure of the quality, but the MCM is a place I buy electronic parts from, and they're are a great supplier.

Very scary to think about what that might sound like. Sorry.


Good deal to practice speaker building and for experimenting.

MCM and Parts Express are both right down the street from me.

the dayton budgets are nice to get started on if you want to give speaker building a shot

MCM usually has good deals, though the above mentioned drivers don't seem to offer much.

For those interested in speaker building:

LDSG (Loudspeaker Designer's Selection Guide) - good intro to DIY speaker design.
DIYAudio
Madisound Discussion Board
Parts Express Discussion Board

Fun hobby and a very hot deal considering the excellent drivers available at low cost. The value of a DIY speaker (if available commercially) usually starts at 10x materials cost and goes up from there.

Quick recommendation - check out the Tangband W3-871s.
