Speaker build plans

Build your own speakers,
without having to be a speaker designer.

Every plan here is built, measured, and listened to before it's sold, with the tools, time, and skill level laid out before you commit.

The difference

Ever noticed the gap between your TV speakers and your headphones?

TV speakers sound thin, lack bass, and bury the dialogue. Headphones sound clear and full, that's how quality speakers can sound too.

In a room, it can go further than headphones ever can: bass you feel, not just hear.

Who this is for

For anyone who'd rather build it themselves.

So you can decide on the colour, materials, and finishes, and get the most value out of the build.

Why trust me

Four years of paid design work, now open to everyone.

I've spent the last four-plus years designing loudspeakers and crossovers for clients on a freelance basis, one build at a time, to their exact brief. JVTDesigns is that same process, made available as build plans anyone can follow, instead of a commission only one person gets to hear.

Engineered, not guessed

Every crossover and enclosure is designed and measured by an engineer with years of paid client work behind it.

Region-aware by design

Drivers aren't sold everywhere. Plans are tagged to the region where every part was actually sourced.

Easy to follow

Cut lists, wiring diagrams, and step-by-step assembly, written for someone building their first speaker.

Time, stated upfront

Every plan states its build time upfront, so you can pick what fits you best, whether that's the time you have or the challenge itself.

Finished your way

Off-the-shelf speakers mostly stick to a handful of safe finishes. Building your own means matte black, walnut, birch, or another finish entirely, whatever actually fits the room.

My take

Most build plans chase analytical.
I chase character.

Most build plans chase an analytical frequency response. I design something with character instead, something that's genuinely enjoyable to listen to.
