home theater design books image
Q. Hi, I would like to build four surround speakers for my home theater. I am sure the enclosure will need to be built to certain specifications in order to sound pleasing. What is the best guide you know of to building speaker enclosures? I would prefer a book over website, but any information is helpful.
Thank you.
Thank you.

The Loundspeaker Design Cookbook is suppose to be the book by which all other DIY speaker building books are rated...Parts express is a very good site for speaker builders especially beginners Madisond is another..

I don't understand why you think you have to be a electronics systems technician to be an installer, I personally have never heard of anyone with such a degree to be an installer. Most installers I know all get there experience through hands on training.
The only real place to get training specifically to installing audio video systems is through Cedia. Honestly I don't know how good their classes are I have personally not be through them, but my guess is they are pretty good, will probably give you a good foundation of information.
I have designed and installed some of the very best in high end audio video systems, the level of systems in which you want to install will depend on the amount of knowledge you acquire. Honestly it can take years to understand all the complexity's of designing and installing a audio or audio video system properly. It all depends on what level you want to be knowledgeable in. You can certainly get some basic knowledge and then learn as you go.
Discover you local independent high end audio video dealers as they are the place to go for higher quality systems, and they all have there own installation crews. Some will even take on apprentices so you can start on the ground floor and get hands on training.
I would strongly suggest learning as much as you can through books, magazines etc. The one book I think is required reading is THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO HIGH END AUDIO /by Robert Harley. It is very well written, very informative, and will give you a great understanding of what makes a good audio system. It also has good information on home theater systems. When you understand what makes a good music or stereo system this will help you also have a deeper understand what can make a good home theater system.
The only trade magazines I recommend are Absolute Sound, Perfect Vision, and Stereophile. 99% of the rest are mid fi magazines and don't have a clue about higher quality sound systems. There is a tremendous amount of really poor information out there even from so called 'professionals" and trade magazines, so get your information from trusted sources like these magazines. These are some of the most respected magazines, reviewers etc, in the industry.
