Years ago I had a couple of roomates. One of them was in a band and the other was a master carpenter. The guy in the band was upgrading his base speakers so I got a very nice 12" bass speakers for free. Found a descent set of mids and tweeters and put it all together with all the giblets needed to make them work together.
The other roommate and I got together and built a very nice set of bass reflex speakers. The were over 2 feet wide and almost 5 feet tall. Each weighed over 100 pounds each as they were made out of "donated" pieces of door panels. I found some books on building your own speakers and tailor-made them for the sound I wanted. Bet that there are a lot of souces these days on the internet.
The sound was excellent and I used them for many years. Between the hassle of having to moving them and my falling in love with Bang & Olufsen systems made them obsolete to my needs and after around 10 years they were sold. Bet that someone is still using them today as they were built to last 100 years...
