   how much do you want to spend?
Im sure youre aware that its not really worth throwing very much at them

do you know whats in there already? is the horn reusable, does the driver bolt on or screw on etc etc

even a dirt cheap compression driver, horn and xover is going to cost 60+ quid per cab

you can pick up this sort of thing pretty cheaply

but it is cheap for a reason, still needs a crossover and is ideal if you really dislike the people youre playing the music at

sadly, unless you stumble across an astonishing bargain youre likely to find it more cost effective to buy a better set of used speakers on ebay/gumtree etc for not more cash than youd need to do anything worthwhile with your current speakers

	The bad ones are a pair of Skytec 12” 250w speakers. Very cheap.

	Hi. I have 2 pairs of speakers which I use for birthday parties for my kids, and friends, it doesn't have to be perfect as it's not a professional setup. However one of the pairs sounds very flat. They are cheap, but serve the purpose. I played around with a spare tweeter I had and it sounded better, but would like to do something more permanent. I'd like to build a pair of separate tweeter boxes that I can use when needed. I've read that compression drivers are better than the cheaper piezo types, but I have no idea about crossovers and resistors, etc - or whether I even need them. Any advice would be appreciated - please keep it simple as I'm not experienced in speaker building.
