    Budget Stereo Build

    Hey all, I'm new around here and just thought I'd start a build thread for my budget apartment floorstanding speakers.

    Plan is to build (2) 3-way speakers with some Audax/Polydax tweeters that were given to me, Tang-Band W5-704D 5-1/4" mids, and Dayton DC250-8 10" woofers. I've already got the box all sketched up and what not, which I'll post later on in the build

    I have some questions I'd like answered before I get this under way however. The tweeter and woofer are rated at 89dB @ 1W and mid is 88dB @ 1W. Is it imperative that I attenuate the tweeter and woofer w/ a resistor, or will that even be noticeable?

    Has anybody had good luck with Parts Express's pre-fabbed crossovers? What are some alternatives for pre-fabbed crossovers?

    Thanks!

      DIY gives music lovers and audiophiles the ultimate power. First of all, DIY speakers use the same parts, building materials (usually), and design techniques of HiFi speakers in the 4 and 5-figure range. This means you can have that "rich" sound at a fraction of the retail cost. Second, by
