It's my latest incarnation of an all in one.

The smaller drivers are in the front triangle and the woofer and amps are in the back part.

Now I'm going through the painful waiting stage. The textured paint doesn't seem to dry at the same rate as the spray-on base coat.

Oh well, I guess I'll pop a cold one and watch a hockey game in the meantime. :drink:
 
I've been thinking about doing something very similar for some time now...

I was thinking cylindrical enclosure but that introduces as many problems as it solves, at least as far as construction.

I'm curious to see where this goes!
 
yerk yerk yerk...

Cal, maybe you have been already checking all these awesome pages or pure research ?
Nope, but when I have time...

This is just a portable system, it will be fed by an iPod. (don't shoot!)

The box is made but the textured paint is really slow to dry so I may or may not get to this tomorrow but when I do you guys will be the first to know. 😉
 
I will not shoot because even a basic MP3 128 kps is perfectly able to to transmit the main part of the space informations and make the difference between good or flawed speaker design.

Don't tell that to the guys that are at the 1811th post on the duel LP/CD...
 
Not a T-amp, those use a Yamaha chip.
OK, thanks. Someone referred to it as a T-amp once and it stuck. I don't know the difference. 🙂

Looks like a fun project. I have something similar in mind to build for my niece's birthday pressie. Are you using an iPod connector or just a 3.5mm jack?
The standard RCA jacks in the back of the chip amp. I also have to use the high level in on the plate amp as there is no line level out. I will wire it on the backside of the plate amp so there are no exposed wires.
 
Found one. Covered the speckled paint with flat black. Two dozen cans of spray paint in the garage but no black. Luckily the local Home Depot opened at 8. 🙂

Now, off to the folks for a Sunday visit and perhaps some assembly later this afternoon. That is if I'm not dragged into a plant store somewhere on the way home. Tis the season you know.
