Inductor design/construction


I am currently making some super frugal MTM's for my theatre (wanted something different) but due to cost I am going down the old path of passive xo's. Whilst playing around with attenuation, BSC, notching and zobeling I decided I would do that once the unit was together etc etc etc, you know the rest (or at least can see some reason for it).

Now, all that aside, I did a quick search and realised that no-one has made there own inductors. So I am now wondering if:

Anyone does?
Anyone is interested?
Does it actually save any money or allow for a more customised inductor?

For me in Australia the answer is yes to all questions, so While I am designing these latest XO's I thought I'd find out if anyone wants a quick tutorial in inductor design/constructon?

Oh, and on the topic of the super frugals, I will post pics and stuff after I get the cabs made.
