if i had the capital, i'd start a high value acoustic suspension only brand.i'm very biased against overpriced & ported speakers after my buddy's $100 pair of infinity reference 4 1/2" bookshelves ran circles around anything i'd ever heard before in every way EXCEPT bass extension, but even there, i liked their speed better.
DIY is a no go for me though unless it's a kit. there's no way i'd be able to do routing 1 handed which adds to my frustration as having someone else build cabinets would drive my build price through the stratosphere.
i already TRIED that route with a former alleged friend who was an excellent woodworker who built me a pair of totally useless boxes with my 4 x 6 1/2" midwoofers routed too close to fit, on cabinets he changed the dimensions of too on top of swapping the supposedly AGREED upon 1" burl with 1/2" radiusing front baffle to 3/4 lightweight pine with slight baffle rounding. my specs would have fit my bike trailer, but he took it upon himself to add fugly styrofoam inserts around everything, so i could no longer just tilt the wagon to put speakers in or pull them as they'd fall out!
that's what happens when you hire a hard headed a hole who can't follow a freakin' blueprint even if he builds amazing stuff for himself.
i should have known he'd eff it up after he kept arguing with me about EVERY aspect of my design, but thought my blueprints were a "set in stone" contract he verbally agreed to.
