Can anybody be a speaker designer?

I have a suspicion that anybody can be a speaker designer. There is no right or wrong way to do a speaker. Tekton uses multiple tweeters whereas most only use one. Heck I could do a speaker with 100 woofers and nobody could prove me wrong.

Is speaker design the easiest profession to get into?

It requires no qualifications. It is not REGULATED. And it can potentially make you rich. Have I answered my own question?

Nope. There’s quite a few idiots out there though that think “they” can, probably because “they” have never even tried. But “they” certainly think they’re the bees knees don’t they?

“Only one way to find out.  Try it and see.” ... only problem is “they” probably don’t even know which end of a screwdriver to use, let alone how to build anything except for crappy threads.

Could be. Only one way to know. Put up or shut up. Let the cards fall where they will. Maybe Kenjit has some buried talent that is clearly not apparent via Internet threads.  He clearly is obsessed with speakers.   Nobody knows for sure what they are capable of until they try. Talk is easy. Anyone can do it.

The truth about hitting yourself on the head with a hammer is that it only feels good when you stop.

Same with reading posts by Kenjit.

The speaker industry is what's known as a meritocracy, good designs sell bad ones don't for the most part. Beyond that nothing is really needed.
