Tbh, I don't think there is any sense in trying to build midtops for a beginner. Much cheaper, convenient, and probably better sounding to buy some second hand factory cab. It's also the domain in which you are more likely to make big mistakes and be frustrated. 

Subwoofers are more forgiving. 

It's going to be a big learning curve anyway, putting a system together, tuning it etc..... 

I think building a midtop from scratch makes more sense after you have gained experience, listened to a lot of different things, and had time to make up your mind on what you like. Without a clear vision and relying on second hand opinions will just have you running around in circles.

For excellent results you will need a lot of time AND money (and experience, or a well proven plan/design).

At the same time you can get very good deals on very good professional grade PA loudspeakers if you are tenacious and know what you are looking for. 

2k overall budget is not much, but not bad either.

Stitchie, that is great for me! I would be very keen to buy the loaded boxes and amp for £770. Only problem i can think of now is how to get them from you to me, how many hours drive are you from north wales? I could potentially come and get them if not hours and hours away.

Cheers

Osian123, I think you've misunderstood i should have been clearer in my pricing loaded g subs would be £800 (200 unloaded + £600 for 4x drivers) amp £100, loaded mid tops £70 total £970. I'm in Nottinghamshire, where are you located? Cheers

I feel like i'm being a bit stupid atm, but i can't find anywhere for private messaging on here, how do i see private messages?
£970 makes more sense, i did think 770 was too good to be trueLOL
I am only around a 3 hours drive form Sheffield, so i could potentially come and get them.

Cheers!
