DIY Speakers and DIY Subwoofer

I just finished building some budget speakers and subwoofer. Very basic design but that is the look I was after. It is my first project so I kept the components cheap. It sounds quite good considering the cost. Certainly a lot better sound than the speakers I was considering which cost 5 times the amount. Also I had fun and learned a lot along the way.

To get a perfect gloss finish and without the need to bog and sand screw holes, I first screwed the 19mm MDF together and then laminated (glued) 3mm MDF over the top. Next I trimmed the edges of the 3mm MDF with a router fitted with a laminex trimmer. After a light sand the boxes were ready to finish with no chance of seeing any screw holes.

I also made a cabinet to match and used some perspex for the centre panel and sprayed it the same colour as the subwoofer.

I hope this has inspired any budding diy speaker newbies. Im hooked now, im already planning my next project with better components.
