Not sure about what you mean around not knowing how to get started??? It appears that you've picked a possible design, the Modula MT.

Do you have questions about tools, materials, construction??

Also, someone may want to move this thread to Mission Possible...

OK, so you're saying that you aren't sure which design you want to do...

You'd like to choose from the Modula MT, Natalie P, and by "Dayton" do you mean the 3-way? Dayton drivers are used in quite a few projects.

What kind of use are you going to get from them? Home theater, stereo listening, big room, small room, etc?

Any of the 'Dayton' designs won't as sophisticated as the designs posted here. Also most of the PE designs are pretty dated and aren't using the better parts PE has available.

Medium Room, Music - Emo Alternative Rock, Movies,, 5.1 ,, 1000-1500 dollars ,, then i can add 2 more speakers for the back later.. I never tryed Stereo listening cause my speakers are puny right now,, small bookshelves..

Do you have tools?

Router?
Table or circular saw?
Sander?


If you have the tools, you should just jump in. You seem to have a big enough budget to make a set of the RS WTMW/TMWW. If you have the space, I would do it. The mains and center would match perfectly, and the mains are very capable as a stereo pair for even bass-heavy music.

Just do it!
