I have basic knowledge in Physics (electronics was never that easy for me) so I'm wondering if this really matters if I want to build speakers from scratch?

Of course, an understanding of physics is fundamental when designing speakers. You need to work with things like mass/spring systems, resonance, wave propagation and electronics.
Wow, I never knew you needed physics to be able to build systems. I would have thought that you only needed a good understanding of electronics and those types of components. Well, now I know.

To build the most kits, you only need to know technical trades like using hand tools and soldering. If you're going to build loudspeakers, you might need to have some carpentry skills.
Designing things is another matter. For amplifiers, you'll need to know advanced electronics and for loudspeakers you'll also need to know acoustics.
Hi, I guess you need to decide on what sort of thing you want to create... speakers, amps, .... whatever.
You are right because deciding on what they wish to make is the first step towards deciding the direction that they wish to take. It is after that that they can now decide on learning more about the particular device that they want to assemble. If it is one that requires having a good foundation in physics, then the poster should know if it is one he can do.
