For a class I'm taking we have to design a working speaker, and we are allowed to use only the basket and magnet from an existing speaker. Everything else, diaphram, spider, surround, ect must me made. My question is what materials would you guys suggest for making these parts. Any help and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Also, we are probably making a 10" and a much smaller speaker--something like a 5" because it will get hooked up to a small 12 watt stereo (boombox). Although, we can probably hook the ten up to my car amp if needed.

Thanks for any help again.

Here's alot of different speaker materials but I don't know where you would find most of them. https://www.crutchfieldadvisor.com/S-lVs4FTVwXbI/learningcenter/car/speakersmaterials.html Paper is probobly the cheapest material for the cone.

Google it and just search around. I'm sure someone has done it before. www.diyaudio.com has alot of helpful people also.
