I built a set of poly cones and a set of paper cones. I have around $30 a pc. Into them.

$30 for all parts? That's fantastic. Went with the dust cap instead of the "phase plug"?

Are those 8"s?

Motors were free. Repurposed car audio motors. Phase plug didn’t make a huge difference with type of cone that are available to me. But I’m not throwing out the idea yet.

Some more speaker building crap. I’m pretty excited about this one tho. Different motor, new basket and twice as light V.C. Made my own copper cap on the lathe.
