      @wirestyle22 Power delivery for Raspberry Pi?

      Yeah. That's the only stuff I've played with. I'd love to create my own speakers etc. Are you planning on writing a guide by chance?

        You have to study crossover design. Nothing to know for speakers themselves.

          Most speaker design is in the crossover and cabinet.

            Except for Bose, most of their design is in the marketing.

                      @wirestyle22 As far as resources, most of the guys (and a few gals as well) I know who do it are either self-taught, or took courses on electrical engineering, and figured it out from there. Good places to talk to people who know what they're doing are www.tapeheads.net, there's a few guys on www.headfi.org who know speakers, mostly as a byproduct of their obsession with headphones, and a decent place to get started is www.diyaudioandvideo.com. I personally learned what I know about electronics from pulling things apart and learning how to restore old tube stereos from some local and online people.
                      EDIT: One thing to note, speaker design as far as the cabinet goes is extremely understated. You get the wrong volume of air inside, by just a little bit, and it'll sound blown, or if you put speakers designed to be acoustic suspension in a cabinet that's set up for bass reflex.

                      @brianlittlejohn LOL, so I'm not alone in thinking BOSE is awful stuff. I keep seeing old BOSE gear go for sky-high prices worthy of some really special stuff, and they sound awful.

                        No highs, no lows, must be Bose

                          Anyone in audio knows that Bose is the reference standard for the worst speakers sold. Every shop that I know (knew) used to keep Bose to show how bad speakers could sound and to open them up to show the shoddiest design and construction. Literally the worst "non free" speakers that money can buy.

                              And all kinds of tubes inside the speak to make "reverb" on one channel and not the other. Some Bose aren't even STEREO!

                                Messing with the crossovers for the custom speakers I finished not very long ago and goodness do these things sound awesome!! They're a full redesign of the legendary Acoustic Research AR-94SX speakers 0_1482949810634_EkEM0nq.jpg

                                What, not wall hanging? 😛

                                  I made the sub boxes for my truck 15 years ago.. it was a pain figuring out the volume considering they couldn't just be normal squarish boxes.

                                      Uh..... that doesn't go in any audiophile discussion. JBL isn't Bose but it's not even remotely audiophile either.
