single tower type speaker

[johnnyfive82]

ive been searching the web for plans for a stereo tower speaker. havent really found anything. i took a look a the spawn frugels and was thinking if a got the aiko and made two seperate chambers in the one horn, kind of like the half harvey stacked on top each other. would that work or do i need to keep thinking.

A FAQ list for potential DIY speaker builder should include:

1) room size / listening position / domestic acceptance factor
2) type of music / volume levels
3) amplifier type

Designs as carefully articulated as those of Scott Lindgren's that you mentioned tend to fare poorly when "cut and pasted" to fit different applications, or drivers etc., than those for which they were optimized.

In other words, it can be a crap shoot.

if there's a reson to you to use two drivers than look for the CHR-70 BVR, it can hold two drivers and also seems it can outperform its price

its for my room 10'x10' and im going to use a t-amp thats why i want two speakers. the musics like reggae, hiphop, house and jazz.i like symmetrical designs i looked up the bvr but didnt find plans, only for sale. I want to make it myself. Thanks

well im going to using a t amp and just want to utilize the left and right channel thats all. The drivers are just full range from a 5.1 sound system. Already used them for a portable speaker with spiral horn. but if a but a driver maybe hivi b3n or tang band w3.

Er, call me thick if you want, but I think you'll find most people use the left and right channels of an amplifier. I still haven't the faintest idea what you're talking about. Are you saying you want to stack two speakers on top of each other or something?

sorry so confusing, I would like to make one tall slim speaker system with 2 driver. something like this just an example Frontgate iPod Tower Speaker Dwarfs Your Puny iPod Docks, Sits Neatly In A Corner | CoolThings.com | Anything and Everything Cool
should have put an example earlier
Thanks for replying

So you want to build a single tower speaker with at least two drivers in it and would like for it to produce stereo sound? I've seen a couple of designs here but don't remember what they were called or how long ago. What are the drivers you have? Pic?

well call me cynical, I've seen similar contraptions on static display at the local Costco, and it looks like a piece of crap

"Fill the room with sound"? - well I can do that an average of 14 times a day, but I can't imagine anyone would want to listen to it

But all grumpiness aside, if you wanted to emulate something like this for space saving reasons in a room that can't accommodate a small pair of wall or bookshelf mounted boxes, or simply for the "coolness" factor, you probably shouldn't expect particularly great soundstage or imaging performance.
