homemade wall speakers suggestion needed :)

[Xprime4 10+ year member]

The room ain't that big but right now i'm using shitty don't even know what brand speakers for the 2 back channel on my 5.1 system.

Anyway, i would like to make my own "little speakers box", to hook up on the wall (gotta be small) and i would like suggestion on where to look for pieces (partexpress????). Any tutorial on how to build a nice enclosure ( one shared enclosure???). My receiver is a kenwood something i think 80watt per channel. I got one 12in type r on the lowend and some shitty front speakers.. my car soud 10x better than my home theater setup //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif this ain't cool!

I think i should stay with 2-3 inch drivers and my gf burned the receiver remote so i'm not sure i can play with its hpf option a lot. Best bang for the buck is wanted

Theres a lot more to a set of quality speakers than slap some stuff in a box and run a set of wires...

If you aren't looking for crazy volume, maybe something extremely simple such as:

Make sure to read his notes about wall mounting, they involve a change in the crossover network. You will need to cross these over and you can do it using an external crossover network.

The crossover thing is really complicated to me... can i buy some kind of freefab crossover with adjustment...
