After much research from the resources provided by Sudhu I came across a ten inch cube monitor kit. I then discovered that there are also kits available for a NS10 replica. So for my project I am going to build a set of monitors as an additional monitoring source for my set up at home. I thought this would be a great opportunity to build something I will be able to use a lot. I realized that the kits that can be purchased aren't much of a challenge so I decided to build the amplifier that powers the driver. For me money is an issue so this brought up the question what would be better; to build from the kit or to purchase the components individually and build it from scratch(Time vs Money)? If I build from the kit was is the cost difference between different kits that will provide different wattage ratings, and also what size driver do I want to power? I realize that I could always switch out parts later. I then decided to work from a less expensive kit to start that provides 30 Watts of power and then to upgrade the drivers later on in the future. After more research I found kits for a more powerful power amp with power heatsink which would allow me to power bigger drivers. I looked at the specs for the NS10M's as well as the Rokit 10's as well as a couple other speakers. This gave me more insight into what I would like the final result to be. My goal is to build the power amp and crossover, design the box and add a balanced input. The design will be based on the design of the NS10M.
