Ok so I'm going to finally pull the trigger and rent some space to build my first system. The plan is to build a half rig (that can be transported in an XLWB Sprinter), and then if all goes well, build the other half and get my Class 2 truck license to move it about.

It'll be for use as a small festival/party rig, playing D&B, jungle and old school hardcore, mainly on vinyl.

I've done a fair amount of lurking/reading/drooling and have broadly settled on:

18" Hog scoops (4 to start, then 4 more)

15" Cubo kicks (again 4, then 4 more)

SynTripP tops (2, then 2 more)

Does this sound reasonable? Any raised eyebrows?

Very excited to get started. All/any advice welcome.

from my personal lurking/reading/drooling i would suggest looking at the JMOD MEH as an alternative over the syntripps

when i build speakers i only do one first and have a listen before building more. maybe do one sub, one kick together with a speaker you already own to figure out if sub&kick work together

What boxes have you built so far?

most recently a system of cubo 15s, cubo kick and a 2 way top. started with the sub, then tops, added kicks to give it more punch. since it‘s a for-fun thing, construction took 3+ years, with lots of trying out.

currently working on two „vintage“ sound sculptures, but that is more of an art project.
