Books On Building Studio Monitor Speakers?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.audio.tech (More info?)

What's a good book for designing your own studio monitor speakers?

I was wondering if you knew of any diy projects to build studio monitor
speakers like the mackie hr824: http/www.mackie.com/products/hr824/ or
other types of pro monitor speakers?

I'm putting together a home-recording studio and all I'm missing are the
monitor speakers. I'd like to get the mackie hr824 or higher end products,
but I can't afford them.
Would you know of any resources which could help me build monitor speakers
myself?
Thanks,

The Loudspeaker Design Cookbook by Vance Dickason is a good resource for
basics on how to build and measure loudspeakers as well as their passive
xo's if needed. From there you can figure out what you want in a monitor
and build in that direction.

I also recommend alot of trial and error along with alot of online
reading.
