New DIY speakers finished

Warning - I hope you can stomach this thread.

Well - a little different to the usual pictures posted. My partner and daughter did this for my birthday. It was their first DIY.

I like the sloped cabinet (excellent to minimise standing waves). The drivers are quite exotic, peppermint cones with chocolate button dustcaps. Enclosure is made from chocolate cake, with chocolate icing laminate.

They are in an MM configuration. Tweeter not deemed necessary, since this speaker is a bandpass design designed to sit around the middle (especially if too much is consumed!) :-)

Constrained layer damping, excellent!

Looks more like a 1.5-way semi-fullrange design to me...

You're only 17? Or is that 37?

What a brilliant idea -- a spongy filling to eliminate resonances, and ganache to suppress standing waves! This could be the start of something big.

My compliments to your "taste" in loudspeaker design.

I recommend a vanilla ice cream subwoofer to go with that, and perhaps a latte.
