    Question about building my own speakers

    Hi there, I'm totally newb here.
    I would like to build my own speakers, not my first actually I've made portable one in the past. (with what can be found at home ^^)
    I found some cheap items on the net:
    15W amp for the tweeters and tweeters

    40W amp for woofers and woofers

    so what do you think? this will work out?

    BTW, sorry for my bad English.

    Hello, quacK. Welcome to AR Forums; your English seems fine.

    What is your intented application for these speakers? Are they for use in an automobile; (I notice both amps are 12 VDC)? Or they to be computer speakers or do you intend to use them in, say, a medium sized room?

    In any case, what will you be using for speaker enclosures? Also, what will you be using for high<>low frequency crossovers? The drivers you have mentioned are low powered units and it seems to me the 15 W and 40 W per channels is over-kill for them. You might be as well off just using a passive crossover and the just the 40 W amps (or even 15 W if for computer speakers).
