Yeah for car and for home. That was 16+ years ago. There's formulas for calculating box volume depending on if enclosures are ported or unported, etc. Then you just work from the volume you need tweaking dimensions (don't forget to factor in thickness of the MDF or whatever).
I'd imagine, since the internet has become like super popular that there are probably whole sites dedicated to speaker building and I presume someone has made an online calculator that can sort out your dimensions. I've still got drivers and active amps back in Oz in storage that I never got around to building. I think my mate still has the front speakers I built. I deconstructed the car subwoofer enclosure last time I was back before the car was sold.
So I could answer questions but I'm probably not so much use as looking around the internet for info. There were definitely some awesome books for building speakers back in the day but I couldn't for the life of me remember the titles.

I'm looking to build a pair of zero-fuss speakers using a pair of 8" full range drivers.

Anyone on here with experience in building speaker boxes/enclosures?
I'm not sure where to start. How do i calculate the size and if it should have a sealed, ported, rear loaded horn design? I'm a complete noob when it comes to this and a retard when it comes to math and electric schemes etc. Can someone explain it in short to me as if i was 5? Thank you.
Looking to build something similar in style to this Fern & Roby.
Also. I should be able to run a full range driver without crossovers right? The idea of making my own crossovers scare me.
