Hello everyone! New member diving into DIY Audio

[sachin pandey]

Hi everyone,
Glad to finally join the HiFi Vision community! I’ve been reading through the threads for a while and figured it was time to officially say hello.
I have been falling deep into the rabbit hole of DIY audio lately. I really enjoy tinkering with gear and learning the science behind the sound. Recently, my main focus has been on building custom 3-way speakers, calculating cabinet volumes, and trying to get the most out of standard crossover boards.
I'm also a big fan of experimenting with amplification. I've been playing around with Class D amps, building chip amps (like the LM3886 and TDA7294), and integrating vacuum tubes into my digital chain to bring a bit of warmth to the setup. When I'm actually sitting down to listen and not soldering or troubleshooting, my playlists are mostly filled with classic rock and hip-hop hits.
I'm planning to put together a post showcasing my current 2.1 DIY speaker and Tube/Class D hybrid setup soon. I’m looking forward to sharing my progress, learning from the veterans here, and getting some advice on things like fine-tuning crossovers and tracking down the occasional ground loop hum!
Thanks for having me!

Parallel crossovers only. Series is way too complicated for diy.

Irving Bud fried IMF used to use series Crossovers indicating a better smoother rolloff..
