Mark989, I applaud your desire to build your own speakers. When I first built my own speakers about fifty years ago I started out with zero budget and near zero knowledge. My first effort was literally built with drivers and plywood I scavenged from a trash dump. They were horrible midrange honkers, but the project was so much fun I got hooked. Then I wised up and began studying the subject of how to design and build speakers. In those days before PCs or the internet information was hard to find, but a few books such as Badmieff and Davis book, How to Build Speaker Enclosures, got me started. Now a tremendous amount of knowledge is available as near as a Duck Duck Go search on how to build speakers. That is how I suggest you get started.
