[QUOTE="Micron, post: 911574, member: 17294"] Buying second hand at a low budget will in most instances yield better results than doing a DIY project at a budget. In my experience: - DIY is an exercise in passion and has a high cost (parts, labour and tools) when achieving a high standard. - Buying second hand in SA is a significant value proposition to selective buyers. If I had to do a DIY system for R3500 I would put a 12" Philips full range driver on a large open baffle and add a R1000 solid state amplifier, but this system has its quirks. Secondhand for R3500 a pair of Behringer B2030 or B2031, or other prosumer active monitors are not a bad route to go. Another example: speakers like these; https://www.avforums.co.za/index.php/topic,77964.0.html (already sold, so not plugging) with, for example, a Mission Cyrus will cost around R3k and it would be difficult to build something to that standard for R3500.
