I was thinking of doing a make-your-own speakers project with my father-in-law: he's a woodworker, and I'm getting into diy audio. Since he has little interest in high quality stuff and currently has really cr*p speakers, I figured it's a good way of getting my feet wet, bond with him, and not get stuck with crappy speakers
I found these:
Audio Lab Loudspeaker Plans
It all looks quite doable, but I am confused by the cross-over scheme. It says the negative source goes to ground - is that really true? Does that mean I don't connect the negative cable from source to the speaker, but have it go to ground? And what about all the other ground connections in the scheme? I assume all of those come together and then go to the negative terminal, so completing the circuit. But then then midrange has reversed polarity, so how does that work?
Your thoughts and experience would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers!
P.S. Yes I'm a newbie at this. A link with more information would do me just fine. A speaker equivalent of the cmoy pages (my cmoy works great!) would be good.
