Well, I guess we tried!
Hey, has anyone tried to make a speaker out of this stuff?

Nice find on new alternative materials there Chaz! I think this can work very well as internal wall dividers in BLH's. Maybe perfect for the PANPIPE. I have thought of using acoustic ceiling tile which is more porous. This stuff looks like it might be very clean as it is cardboard waste re-used as board.

to clarify, it's only a corner horn to the extent that it's intended to be placed in a corner; it's not on the level of a klipschorn as such, in case I gave that impression.

Hi X- Thanks for the kind words. The artwork is a piece I did a few years ago recycled for this project.
I'm still breaking in the speakers but they sound quite nice. I'm using an unfinished Peter Daniels kit for the amp so have 2 unknowns going at once. At this stage they seem in between the 14" and 18" ones with the smaller being the fuller sound and the 18's being a bit thin. I have just put some new W3 bamboo's in the 18 inchers and they seem a little fuller with better bass. I don't think my poor old ears are so good to really be able to judge the subtle differences.

Try a Bluetooth module like this

But if you are powering your class D tpa3130 amp with say 12 volts, are you using batteries for that or wall wart? If you have 12v or 9v up to 35 v the 7805 is a $0.89 ic that will drop the voltage to 4.98 volts spot on. The BT uses very little amps so you won't have much heat from regulator. Easy peasy. 7805 has input output and ground. Can't be easier and never worry about batteries.
7805 is a to220 IC with 3 pins. I would wire it with flying leads from common 12 volt positive of power supply (find a tap point on amp board) and its output gives you 5 v from the 12 volt. If you use 7805 no batteries. If you use batteries no 7805 needed. Just cut the USB jack off and locate the ground and 5v supply wire and connect that to 7805 output.
