My ultimate question will be when the units are finished.. how do their compare to factory bought ones in both sound and price? add up the amount of time that you spent on them and try and work out how much you ended up working for?

I have learnt from my own experience in woodworking that you don't go out and make something to save money. I found that I do it either for the enjoyment of making it, or that I just cannot readily find anything that fits my needs on the market and have to custom make to get what I want.

I am curious as to why you decided to make these speakers?
