I have built a few speaker enclosures over the years. Mostly sub boxes that are made from square cuts of MDF on the table saw. A bit of handy work with a jigsaw and a drill usually results in a speaker box that is functional but definitely doesn’t look as good as a store bought speaker cabinet. This DIY 2-Way Loudspeaker that Adam McCall built isn’t a budget build since the raw cost of materials is over $900 but if it sounds half as good as it looks it would be a welcome addition to any listening room.
“The Ion is a wonderful 2-Way tower loudspeaker that has been designed to produce a very warm and natural sound. It achieves this by using a pair of Audax HM170CO woofer-midranges drivers with a TangBand 25-1372SC tweeter in an TMM configuration and using a 3rd order crossover point at 4000Hz. The Audax HM170CO woofers produce very warm natural tones up through the upper midrange. With the TangBand 25-1372SC tweeter the highs are crystal clear, detailed but far from harsh. The Ion 2-Way TMM Tower Loudspeaker will be a challenging build. The best approach is to take your time and be patient. DON’T get wrapped up in all the super precise dimensions; they are impossible I know, but have been provided for reference.”
