DIY vs HiFi – Can you save Thousands? – Boenicke W5

[123toid]

So I recently made this video that shows how you can build a pair of $6000 speakers for $170 in main components. Which shows you can save a lot of money. So what to you is the true cost of DIY? If it isn’t in the parts, where is it as?

I don’t have the tools or space to build speaker boxes. Is there somewhere I can go to have these (or, of course) similar speaker boxes made? I’m interested in a book shelf or tabletop set of speakers like these and enjoy the concept of purchasing the items and putting it all together (including the cabinet finishing. Any help on where I could get this type support would be appreciated.

I believe I have some CNC files for this. I’ll see what I can post. You would need someone to manufacture it for you.

Thanks, that would be appreciated. I have located someone with CNC and laser capabilities who could do the work.

Are there any drawings for these? I’m really intrigued by the design. I don’t have a concern but I have 30 years of woodworking experience and could get it done.

@ryan two posts above have the fusion 360 drawings.
