My speaker building journey began in my early 20s when I discovered that good speakers are needed to reproduce realistic sounding music. But I also learnt that if you want to buy good speakers then you need to spend the money. Or else build them yourself.

At that time I was studying Mechanical Engineering and had taken subjects on electronics and acoustics, which lead me to think I could build my own. So the journey began and i spent my spare time building, researching and testing these speakers I made. The first dozen speakers I built sounded average, everything sounded muddy and lacked realism.

But, this changed when I learnt how to properly measure the performance of a speaker. I was able to see the impacts of both the electrical and acoustic properties of a speaker. I was fascinated that small changes in the design could cause a large impact on the acoustic performance. I was intrigued and addicted to learning more.

Over the decade of building speakers, I've learnt that building speakers is not only about gaining great speakers affordably, but gaining a deeper connection with music. Each time I hear a song I love, I think to myself, dam that sounds good and I built those speakers. It's also the appreciation I get from building something functional, something capable of evoking emotions, and something that others can enjoy with me. There's nothing better than seeing your friends in bliss listening to music through speakers you made.

On top of that, It's a gate way to the fascinating world of electronics and acoustics. Speaker building has taught me more on electroacoustics than my entire engineering degree, and brought me a lot more joy that's for sure haha.

But I get it, building speakers is a daunting undertaking, there's so many things to consider from cabinet making to electronics. Learning all these aspects took me years; and for anyone to dedicate their time for this in their busy lives is a big ask.

So for that reason I founded the Speaker Project so that anyone, within a short amount of time, can experience the process of building their own speaker. It's about making the hobby accessible to everyone.

I've developed an in home course that provides you with all the tools and materials needed to build a pair of Hi-Fi speakers. I've also produced detailed videos that guide you through each step. So no matter what your skill level, you will be able to build a pair of performance speakers.

These speakers have been designed over a period of two years and are the culmination of everything I've learnt. I've had students state that these new speakers they have built have outperformed their "high end" speakers. In short, I believe these speakers will help people find a deeper connection to music and the science and art of speaker building.
