I found some cheap parts for monitors, after some more research im going to try to build some. Im going to start out with a basic pair im trying to spend a total of $40-50 on parts not including cabinets. Then if I can make a descent pair in a reasonable amount of time, ill try to make a higher quality version. So eventualy these will end up being refrence monitors.
Im still trying to get a flat response should I go 50-20 or 50-22? would 70-20 matter? back to reading up on this.

Is there any way of making these active monitors ?
For each speaker I need sub,tweeter,crossover,port,terminal ?
If I use two tweeters to make it 3way will that affect its ability to be flat?
do i need a lpad?
Whats the difference in tweeters dome,ribbon,cone,metal?

example PYLE PRO 6-1/2 70-9,000
PIONEER 1" SOFT DOME 3,000-20,000 5k crossover
this should sound ok? right? its 70-20k 28 bucks

i'm not too certain about the construction of speakers, your best bet would be to search out various DIY guides that surely exist on the net

also in regards to the difference in the tweeter construction - take a look at the frequency response curves if you're able to

you'll also need some form of crossover between the tweeter and the woofer


also think about where you'll be placing the speakers in your room, placing them in corners and close to walls will accentuate the low end, so considering the environment the speakers will be used in will help you in choosing which components to go with

also the enclosure with affect the frequency response to some degree aswell

im having second thoughs, the kits I found 200-600 more then i got.My budget for this was around $100 for that the monitors are kinda crappy so figuered I could build it for cheaper. But i was looking at realy cheap parts. Im going to have to spend at least 100 on the subs, I dont want to buy a lower end monitors but I need something for time being, Down the road Ill get a pair kpr8s or something like that. but im in the market for a pc too. so funds are limited.
