diy monitors ??????s

[dirtyp]

I found some cheap parts for monitors, after some more research im going to try to build some. Im going to start out with a basic pair im trying to spend a total of $40-50 on parts not including cabinets. Then if I can make a descent pair in a reasonable amount of time, ill try to make a higher quality version. So eventualy these will end up being refrence monitors.
Im still trying to get a flat response should I go 50-20 or 50-22? would 70-20 matter? back to reading up on this.

Is there any way of making these active monitors ?
For each speaker I need sub,tweeter,crossover,port,terminal ?
If I use two tweeters to make it 3way will that affect its ability to be flat?
do i need a lpad?
Whats the difference in tweeters dome,ribbon,cone,metal?

example PYLE PRO 6-1/2 70-9,000
PIONEER 1" SOFT DOME 3,000-20,000 5k crossover
this should sound ok? right? its 70-20k 28 bucks

Well, as long as you're not looking for near-fields.......

do you think any of them could work ok? compared to $100-150 monitors.
with a subwoofer plate they would be powered...
Then I could find a deal on speakers and throw them in the box.
Im looking for links for monitors I could put in om y own box but no luck yet.

Hi,
I guess, at the very least, you'd be learning something about the complexities of speaker units. Sounds like you're really into it!...that's great to see.
Maybe you should by some nice second hand monitors, as your reference.(?)
I mean to say that even thinking about the numbers ie. frequency, wattage, impedence,enclosure parameters etc could end up being a waste of time if the units you build sound unworkable.

Is it a money thing dirtyp? Or do you just wish to have the pleasure of building something yourself, cheaply?

Anyway man....I'd love to know your thought process and how you get along with your speakers!!
