... Yes you to can build it. It is so simple all you need are two low DCR .3mH inductors, a pair of 1.5uF mylar caps, a pair of 20 ohm resistors and an 8 ohm L-pad. The total cost would be about $15 each.
Have fun!

First let me appoligize for such a newbie question. Does it make a diference if I use an air core or iron core inductor?

Likewise, is there a preference material for the cap; mylar, metalized polypropylene, film/foil, etc...

Iron cores should probably only be considered if you are going to pack them tight in a small space.

"Likewise, is there a preference material for the cap; mylar, metalized polypropylene, film/foil, etc..."

The old JBL ring radiators loathe passive components in front of them anyway so it would probably behoove you to use the "best" components you can find. Try a high quality film & foil.
