Live Sound: Building Your Own Wedges: Follow The Basics To Insure Roadworthiness
Pro Sound Web: Building a floor monitor wedge is something that many of us attempt (or at least want to attempt) at one time or another.
There is great satisfaction in designing and building a wedge.
I design loudspeakers for a company, but really enjoy taking other manufacturer’s boxes apart to examine the inner construction and see how they actually put glue to wood to make the design work.

I've experimented (re)building speakers, and I know how complicated they can be. I would argue that some of the best speakers are those that are very simple: some wire, a cone, and a magnet inside a box. I also think it's very cool how people can build speakers, without ridiculous machinery and tools. I know a couple of my friends referred to sound as black magic, and getting to put together a speaker and microphone helped eliminate some of that fogginess.
