lol b&w

i still have not been directed to anything within that budget (up to 150) that i could build. and until that happens, im just plannin on swappin out the drivers.

you keep saying "build something new \ buy someting new" but i dont know a **** thing about ht stuff, and we still dont even have an amp for them.

so point me in the right direction with a cutsheet and driver\xover list and ill be set to go. until then, im planning on swapping the bose.

Look at some of these Req they will all come in at or under your budget.

Also have you considered the BR-1 kit from parts express? Not very exciting but quick and easy!

the problems im having so far, is that the boxes and drivers would fall in the range of under 150, but once you get done with the crossovers, your well over $200.

the crossovers in most of the projects listed above are easily $60+ for all the parts *sigh*

and we still do NOT have an amplifier for the project, so spending that much is kinda useless...

The first project is only $100 w/o enclosures but I'm sure you could whip out a decent set of enclosures for less than $20-30. The BR-1 is $139 for everything.

Also I'm working on a set of speakers for my office that are def. elcheapo. I'll let you know how they turn out and maybe you could build a set of those. Downside, they will have to have a sub w/ them.
