    Default Construction books

    I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction of a book for speaker construction for noobs; I just need to know the basics like cabinet construction and making sure things work properly, have you got any suggestions please?

    Trawling forums is going to be slow and painful, I'd like a single point of reference to make my life a bit easier!

    Thanks chaps.

    There's a bleeding great hi-fi bibliography in The Knowledge.

    Why do you think it might be complicated Martin?
    You may find books on specific or peculiar designs, but the carpentry with rare exception is simplicity itself. At the end of the day it is a box you are gluing and clamping together, just as simple as flat-pack furniture.
    The only potential issues are mistakes when routing out the driver holes, or forgetting to run in the speaker wires or acoustic foam/etc before closing up the cabinet.
