This is a fun project for aspiring ECE Majors. My roommates and I did this for fun. It works pretty well.

I did that when I was in 7th grade for my stereo speakers. It's a two speaker set with 12" woofers and an oak plywood case. It's so satisfying when your creation proceeds to shake the house apart.

 

Listen to GhettoFob, I made a spark gap Teslo coil years ago, it shot lightening bolts 4 feet long, most of the time they would go for the nails inside the wall.

DO IT !, you will not regret it

i thought that was going to be more along the lines of actually building the voice coils and stuff..not just wiring up crossovers and leds....
