I have several books on the theory and construction of speakers. The best
by a wide margin is @i[High Performance Loudspeakers (Second Edition)],
by Martin Colloms. John Wiley and Sons, New York ("A Halstead Press Book").
(c) 1980. ISBN 0-470-26875-1; LC TK5983.C64

I am looking for books that describe how to build speakers.

I'm particularly interested in books that discuss how to determine
driver resonance, formulas for determining volume/port volume 
versus driver resonance, related mechanical and acoustical interactions 
and so on. I am not particularly interested in designing my own 
crossovers, but a discussion of how to intelligently choose crossovers 
and drivers would be valuable to me.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Please respond by e-mail. 

And thanks in advance for your help!
