Last Update: 2 Aug 2010 This site will contain information on my DIY (Do-It-Yourself) audio projects, primarily loudspeakers. I've been designing and building my own speakers since high school, and feel my skills have progressed to the point where I can begin publishing projects. This site will contain build plans, schematics, and commentary for each design. Currently, the only thing here is my "Whetstones" project, a mid-efficiency filtered full-range design that has surprised many single-driver skeptics and won awards and accolades at DIY events. It's an inexpensive build, with its bill of materials coming in just under $110, and it uses a single Tang Band W4-1052SA driver to cover more than than eight octaves - from 60 Hz to 16 kHz, while measuring within +/-2 dB across its range. You can read about the design here, and then you can build a pair of your very own. The Firestorm project is moving into the enclosure build phase. 3D renderings are posted. Irons in the fire (and there are many; to be finished in no particular order) :
