My Itsy-Bitsy T-Line Speaker

killa12222 · 09:36 AM

I've always wanted good sounding portable speakers and thus this idea came up yesterday

. I made it using some leftover wood I had. The driver is ~3" and off an old hp pc. It works surprisingly well though! The line is tuned to 80 hz but bumps down to about 60 hz. Still needs an amplifier, preferably battery powered. Any suggestions?

Sorry for the poor pics..

ahhh....nice. Double sided tape yes?

killa12222 · 15th July 2010, 09:48 AM

nope, weather sealant to keep it airtight and screws on top of that.

that makes sense. How is the performance?

It sounds amazingly good. Sounds much bigger than it looks. Wayy better than my previous mini speaker. Though, it definitly needs the tweeter, which i have not wired yet

pc speaker huh? damn. I never thought that they could be worth the effort. How did you decide on how many reflectors to use?
