Shawn Adams, better known on the PE Tech Talk board as ShawnA, has been building and modifying speakers for sixteen years. With dozens of projects behind him, and enough parts on hand for several dozen more, he anticipates achieving total domination of the DIY speaker hobby within eighteen months. An experienced graphics designer by day, his motivation for designing and building speakers comes from listening to systems at big-box retailers and leaving with the confidence he can do it better- for less money. His DIY mantra: "Do what you want to do, and make sure you have fun doing it!"
