hi,

i am looking to build my own speakers - Im currently leaning towards “Dinas” as I want monitor speakers with a boomy bass, but I am a little daunted by the crossover build.

before I buy the plans etc. is it possible just to buy an out the box ready to go crossover

something like this? what is the cons of using a preassembled xover

​

sorry If this has been covered before but I couldnt find any information on the same.

thanks

    My first ever soldering attempt was a pair of crossovers. The component leads are long and the components are big enough to not be scared of frying them with a little excess heat. I just drilled holes in some hardboard, stuck the leads through, and twisted the connections together and put a little dab of solder on there. Boom, done.

    That was almost 20 years ago now and the speakers are still my mains in my home theatre set up.
