The other thing about building a DIY speaker is that you Must have not only the right tools for the job but the patience. Unless your happy with a box cut only using a table saw and a jigsaw your not even close to getting a good result if you plan to display them in a well used room.
People forget that the reason speakers like B&W cost the money they do is because of the detail and simply the sound quality you get from them. Internal bracing is a key factor in building a proper enclosure.
Remember that your time is also worth money and a DIY project done right takes many, many hours. Some people on here take weeks to build just one speaker.
The satisfaction of DIY once completed is really rewarding as there are DIY speakers that turn out better than any store bought ones but this usually takes several tries and allot of money invested.
