To Buy or to DIY, here is my question

If you’re not proficient at designing and tweaking a crossover, I’d consider a kit that has already worked out those details. The crossover is just as critical as the drivers and the cabinet (maybe more-so because of the ability to compensate). To be right, a speaker has to be a complete and cohesive design....its far more than the individual parts. The crossover is a key element in that design that shouldn’t be under estimated. DIY can be an awesome endeavor, and can save some money, but there are a lot of unknowns about the outcome.

Here is a good site for DIY kits.

Is this from The Onion?

Jason actually got it right.

The same with knotscott.

As an experienced DIY speaker builder, I say you are valuing your time at $2/hr. Or buy a cabinet kit and adjust your outlay price accordingly. Either way you will end up with nothing to show off.

Nissan makes trucks?

Don't forget to consider the used market value for when you decide to change.  I think you might find the cost of the Proacs is not that much different than the DIY speakers.
