Hi, I want to make some budget diy pa system and I have a problem and that is I live in apartment and i dont have very good power tools for wood cuting . And I was thinking if I can buy a empty or cheap 2 way wooden cabinet and put better components. I found the box PA 15 ECO MKII on thromann and to just put some better high driver + horn and better mid range driver now idk if box is good it is made of plywood. And here is link to the box https://www.thomannmusic.com/the__pa15eco_mkii.htm - https://www.thomannmusic.com/the_box_pa15eco_mkii.htm

Total up how much money the boxes will cost plus getting better components for them (and throwing away perfect working drivers?) and I can say for certain that you’d get a better second hand option anywhere. The drivers would already be matched to the box, the crossovers if running passive would be correct and it would be well built. I understand the desire to have some “diy” ownership over it but this is definitely not the way to do it.
------------- blah blah blah blah blah...... |

| Well the problem is the used market is not that good like only stuff that is there are diy boxes and reselling the total cost would be like i can get bins on b-stock for around 100-90$ i will keep mid range driver for some time the horn+high range driver 100-150$ crossover will diy something 20$. |

you could build something like this in your kitchen https://celestion.com/blog/build-this-15-two-way-pa-cabinet-design/" rel="nofollow - https://celestion.com/blog/build-this-15-two-way-pa-cabinet-design/ you might pay a small premium on wood if you have it cut to plan but that leaves you with only making a bunch of holes with a jigsaw best, julius
