so is www.diyaudio.com

I recently read Designing, Building, and Testing Your Own Speaker System with Projects Which was very informative and a good read.

www.solen.ca carries parts and books.
Also www.rawacoustics.com
and www.creativesound.ca both carry raw drivers/parts and kits.

As a follow up.... does anyone know how one could learn about how speakers themselves are designed.

(raw driver, not the box/speaker combo)

^ It explains the components of a driver, their purpose, and a little bit on overall driver design.

It does not get heavy into selecting or determining T/S parameters or, say, how different stiffness spiders affect driver performance.
