Too true. Our hobby started out as mostly a DIY exercise back in the 50's. Very few completed speaker systems that we could afford in those days. Several kit companies, and kits from major manufacturers. There was a huge personal reward from building something that worked well.
One of my first experiences was when we were living in a garden apartment. Our downstairs neighbor installed a University 15" coax in a coat closet door. He actually went to the trouble to replace the original door so he could replace it when he moved out. Bogen DB20 PA amp for power, and a Lenco TT. I was 13 or 14 at the time, and fascinated.
My dad was extremely un-handy; but I was born to be an engineer and tinkerer. And I guess I still am.
