There's also a good book published by Radio Shack, and available in
Radio Shack outlets, that's also inexpensive.  It covers a number
of designs of cabinets -- including acoustic suspension, bass
reflex and passive radiator -- and how to tailor these to the Thiel-Small
parameters of the speakers (available from the manufacturer).  Although
the specific examples given use Radio Shack speakers, the principles are
general.

Also separate sections on PA asnd musical instrument speakers.

It also has a good discussion of how the compromises the builder must
make interact with his or her personal notion of how a speaker should
sound.
