 Easy to Make Speaker Stands

 
 I made these stands for a pair of dB61s I built for my mom. Construction is out of 3/4" MDF and 3" ABS pipe. A drawing is at the bottom.
 
You can change the shape of the base and top parts however you want but try to stay with the 3 stacked pieces idea since that's what makes it all fit together nicely. Adjust the length of the ABS pipe to place your speakers at the desired height.
 
Use of a 3 1/2" hole saw makes construction really easy -- the hole is a perfect fit for the 3" ABS. It's worth the investment to buy one because you can also use it for driver cutouts and holes in braces.
 
Use carpenter's glue to glue the MDF parts together and epoxy to hold the pipe in the holes.
 
There's a 1" hole in the top to be able to add sand or other ballast if desired.
 
You can install spikes in the base. The large ones Parts Express sells (Part Number 240-730) are fairly decent.
 
Paint or finish however you like.
