Is there a good source for speaker recipes?


I'm thinking about building something, but I don't know enough to design a speaker. The crossover is the biggest issue to me. I like the Wilson Watt/Puppies, bigger Kharma's, or the Sony SS m9's.

Is there something similar to this that a person can latch onto, from someone who knows their stuff?

I built some speakers 6 months ago. They turned out very nice. I am selling my Hales Revelation 3's. The 4 months before I started, I read a lot of discussions on diyaudio.

During the 4 months of reading, I changed my design many times. The forums on diyaudio discuss kits and crossover design, what type of wood to use for the cabinet, and compare raw drivers. I combinded a kit with my own ideas for a very nice 3/way system, bi-amped.

If you buy raw drivers from Madisound, they will design a crossover for those drivers using the latest software. Costs about $40. I could go on and on about stuffing, baffle step correction, wiring, best capacitors to use in crossover..., It is all on diyaudo.
