hi,

i am looking to build my own speakers - Im currently leaning towards "Dinas" as I want monitor speakers with a boomy bass, but I am a little daunted by the crossover build.

before I buy the plans etc. is it possible just to buy an out the box ready to go crossover

something like this? what is the cons of using a preassembled xover

sorry If this has been covered before but I couldnt find any information on the same.

thanks

Fwiw the dinas build has received a fair bit of criticism. I’m not sure which other builds are good on bass but there are lots of builds/kits, especially if you’re in the US.

ah wish I read this before I just purchased all the components lol

thanks for the advice all, got the plans and ordered the stuff. wish me luck!

lol no worries, it’s probably still a decent kit (I’m personally not knowledgeable enough to be in favour or against the dinas). Best of luck, it’s a good learning process either ways!
