An Easy way to Get Audiophile Computer Speakers for Less:

These Computer speakers are very simple and easy to construct

Audiophile computer speakers are unique because they are even simpler than most stereo speaker designs.

Benefits of This Design:

Dynamic on music and movie playback

More musical than conventional computer speakers.

finished audiophile computer speakers

Better parts and speaker drivers

Higher quality cabinet design

Simple Design = Success!

The primary reason for the simplicity is the small single driver speakers.

In most situations only a small satellite speaker and a subwoofer are needed. Some of our readers like them just fine without using a subwoofer.

Don't want to build your own? Let us build your computer surround sound speakers for you!

Bass levels are satisfying as PC monitors only.

Adequate volume levels can be achieved easily and with very low power as compared to a large stereo or home theater system speakers.

Are you ready to learn how to build simple audiophile computer speakers?

These can be powered with any stereo receiver you currently own. This easy-to-make DIY speaker plan will convince you how well speaker building can work for you.

Try it out, then come back here and tell us how you’re project went!

Easy Steps to This Stereo Speaker Project:

Here are the steps:

1. Use MDF or birch ply plywood in ½ inch thickness

2. Go to the mini cube speakers page to download the plans for free.

3. Cut out the pieces on a table saw, chop saw, or with a power saw and cutting guide.

4. Make the edges cut back at a 45 degree angle.

5. Cut the holes for the drivers and speaker binding posts

6. Assembly the cabinet without-gluing; to be sure all the edges match up well.

7. Trim if necessary

8. Glue the edges

9. Use clamps, or strong rubber bands to press pieces while drying

10. Lightly sand after drying is complete

11. Apply veneer, paint, or just clear coat the finished side of the birch ply (as shown)

12. Solder the speaker internal speaker wires to the driver and the binding posts.

13. Be sure that the cabinet is without leaks. Use silicon if necessary. (mine was sealed fine as is)

14. Mount the speaker drivers (I used the HiVi B3N –a very good driver for the money)

15. Connect to a home theater receiver or other amp. 10 to 100 watts is recommended with the HiVi drivers that I used here. Because of the close listening position you should not need very much amp power.

The total estimated cost for this project is less than $40.00 USD. Have fun with these things; they sound really good. There is more valuable information on the mini cube speakers page –click here.

Making your own Audiophile Computer Speakers is a Fun and Effective Way to Upgrade Your PC Speakers:

These speaker plans make it easy to build your own speakers. The quality and craftsmanship are completely up to you and almost no company profits are added to the price of the product. This means you get a better computer speaker for less money and higher performance thrown in for good measure.

Be sure to check out the setup procedures on the mini cube speakers page.

There is some mild EQ that you may need to do within your PC media player. Making these adjustments is easy from the control panel of your PC audio player.

Customer Testimonials:

"Peter, I just wanted to drop you a quick note and say how impressed I am with these speakers. They are EXACTLY what I was looking for..very very small with big sound.

My wife loves them as well. They look great, and you hardly notice them at all sitting on the shelf. They integrate perfectly as surrounds. I have them crossed over at 150 as you recommended...simply fantastic. I only have about 15 hours on them so far, so I know they will only get better. You really have something here. Kelly ~ Montana USA

"I found these speakers by accident and after reading all the available info and after several emails back and forth with the company owner I decided I had nothing to lose, so I ordered a set of 5 mini cube speakers.

Peter was very helpful and patient and always responded to my emails within hours.

I have had the speakers set up for a couple of days and they sound great; they are everything described on the web site.

The sound from these small speakers truly is awesome.

I replaced a set of very high quality but also very large speakers and have not been disappointed... and the wife loves not having four large speakers in the living room.

The sound from these speakers really does fill the entire house, I was concerned about the small size of the speakers due to the fact I like to listen to music and movies at volumes most would consider loud.

These speakers are more than capable of playing at volume levels louder than I ever need while also maintaining very high quality sound. ~by; William (Corinth,TX)


"I ordered these speakers in the hope of bringing some life to my entertainment system... I didn’t think it would bring room filling sound to my entire house. These speakers not only fill my den with crystal clear sound, but radiate great sound throughout the house. Thanks for such a great product!" Celia ~Malasia IP#110.159.58.99


"these speakers breathed new life back into my music, I had no idea such small surround sound speakers could perform so well." John from US IP# 24.177.193.45


"how you got so much performance out of these speakers I have no idea -Great product!" Andrew from Denmark IP# 130.225.22.254


"nice speakers, nice finish, blended in with my room well and the wife is happy too. Great sound presentation! Now I just wish you guys made a subwoofer." Kyle from US IP# 98.233.53.244


"These surround sound speakers are amazing! After running them in for a couple days, I decided to play some tunes, and they never once sounded distorted or strained...

While I know they should be paired with a good sub-woofer bass system, I think they sound good enough that I can wait until I have the money to buy a really nice sub." Fred US IP#76.208.13.182


"Wow, what a great set of speakers. I really understand what you mean by a large sound-stage." Sandy from US IP# 137.100.121.30


"Recently I came to realize that my HDTV was better than my sound system... So, I decided to piece together a better sound system. Running across your site (and these speakers) was the best thing that has happened to my home theater.

My current system is; an older receiver, a home theater PC with a blue-ray player drive, and one pair of your Mini-Cubes. (for now; I plan to buy 3 more speakers soon)" Kevin US IP#98.179.199.26


"Purchasing a new set of surround sound speakers was a must for me. My old system looked awful and sounded even worse. The quality and look of your Mini-Cube speaker were a perfect fit.

Once I reviewed the ratings and tests I knew they would be perfect. I will be sure to look for more information and products from you. I can't believe the performance of these surround sound speakers for the modest price. I would recommend these speakers to anyone!" Mike US IP#172.16.2.142


"The overall quality and dynamic capacity of these speakers really took me by surprise. Their imaging is distinct, tonality is crystal clear, and oh yeah... they pump out some serious volume!

I feel like I have stolen speakers that I can't afford. People that spend more are Suckers!!" Micah US #Ohio
