...to go DIY.
My very soon-to-be father-in-law (June 3...yikes) just bought his SECOND Bose system. He is retired and has been considering setting up a dedicated media room. I have told him on several occassions that he should consider a DIY system (speakers and sub) for huge performance and possibly cost advantages. While never getting into the details of actually putting the so-called pieces together of a design or kit for him, he agreed (in the past) to look at doing something different than Bose (God I hate that word) before buying anything. Well I just found out last night that he had bought a new Bose system...I want to pull my hair out! Never even consulted me.
Now I am in reactive mode and need to try and get him to return it...wish me plenty of luck. I am trying to find some good research and/or links to sway him into DIY. I know there are tons out there. The thing is that he has all the necessary tools (more so than me) to build his own system and has plenty of time (retired). I really think this is a project he would enjoy and I am even willing to commit my own time and effort to help. So guys start piling up the ammo to try and sway him. Also if you have any recommendations of kits please forward on. I would say small monitors (smaller the better) maybe 2 ways with a 5 1/4 or 6 1/2 mid/woofer would be ideal. Aesthetics will be a key component as well. Remember we are trying to convert him
Thanks in advance.

Right now I am waiting on my 15" Titanic to arrive to replace my injured Tempest.
