    If you have the drivers and crossover already it would be reasonable to build a cabinent. What I've found is that you can almost always find a used complete pair in perfect condition for far less than the cost of the drivers alone. $400 to $700 complete. To build you will have to have the correct volume, the driver placement need to be almost exact and you will have to deal with tuning a passive radiator. On top of this you will need a wiring diagram and a crossover and drivers. You are going to have to do a LOT to be able to build them.

    i have a complete set.the boxes were damaged by a moving company.i'm fairly good at woodworking and could duplicate the cabinets.i just thought if i found some i could refinish them because mine are beyond repair and building a new set i could do but it would be alot of work and i just want to get these awsome speakers back up and running as soon as possible! thanks for the reply.

    Sorry to hear that the moving company ruined your cabinets. One consideration before you invest in a cabinet building project might be to make sure the driver voice coil magnets aren't damaged (dislodged slightly, causing seizing) from the pounding as well.

    Good luck!

    + 1 on that. I've been lucky and unlucky when it comes to the midbass drivers when shipped/dropped :eek:
