Thanks zman.
I have build 300B single and Hypex UCD180.
300B amp need little more effort to get more quiet.
When I builed small mini-onken enclosure,I liked bass sound very much.
Bass goes deep and not to be fatty or boomy.
For the trapezoid,Free from resonance.Sound is clear. (My other boxes have always wiard resonance at between middle-bass.
Middle-treble is soft as I expected.
Excellent design,I love this speaker.
I also like how this speaker looks.
I painted with "Kakishibu". Kakishibu prevent insects,wet,toxic.Color will get darker through a year. I really recommend Kakishibu if someone wants to make natural dark brown color and its not expensive.But be carefull to buy non-smell kakishibu. tranditional Kakishibu smells bad.
Then finished with shellac. When I image some insects produced this material,
I feel happy to have shellac in my speakers.

Yes. The A10.3 can drop into the A10p small enclosure with no changes (some optimization may be possible), but the TT (which i believe you built) is too large. You would have to add 4 litrs of solid fill, and we’d have to look at the vent size. As long as the “new” box needs the same or smaller vents it should be doable).

I've posted a pic or two before of my Bamboo micro fonkens before but had an interesting experiance today that I wanted to share I tried running them direct for the first time from a Chord Mojo portable headphone dac/amplifier.
I really wasnt expecting much but there is proper out of box floating imagining, sound is much better than you would expect for such a small desk top speaker. My four year old daugter has been wondering inbetween the speakers looking up confused at where the projected image is floating separate from the speakers.
Near field certanly helps with the experiance.
Its honestly nuts and a bit mind bending hearing whats coming out of these small 4" speakers hooked up to the Mojo.
Drivers are Scanspeak Discovery 10F/8414G10

Original µFonken? The vent spacer could be a bit wider for these drivers, would give you a bit flatter more extended bass.
I could figure out how much.
Some of these small speakers are truly very good. My personal FF85wKeN and A5.2eN variations stun people when i put them in the big system. “There isn’t a woofer hidden somewhere is there?”, as they walk around the speaker :^)
I’ve not yet heard the 10F/8414, just the /8424.

Hi Dave
I'm genuinely surprised at the results the drivers are 86.6 dB the enclosure design is for a different driver (FF85K) and Mojo output is only 720mW @ 8 Ohms so very much a odd ball combination.
The enclosure was made using some Ikea bamboo chopping boards for my daughters room. Opening up the vent spacer so it spans the full width of the box would be something I could try but is not high on the to do list.
I used the planet 10 design in the link below as a 2 litre cabinet size was suggested for the 10F/8414 I had good results with a lager Fonken Fostex FX120 build and the MicroFonken looked cute.

Considering the build cost was around £130 for the pair of speakers + £299 of the Mojo as a dac/amp feed by Roon it would make for a very nice sounding set up for a small room or desk top system.
The results really have left me scratching my head and being more intrigued than ever by the increasing reports of the Chord Hugo2, TT2 and Dave dacs driving speakers like the Omega Super Alnico Monitors directly off of their dac sections and forgoing using a traditional separate amplifer.
I'm probably very close to a point where this is a route I will explore further with another build for a main system specifically purchasing a higher end Chord dac for.
Hugo 2 @ 1W RMS 8Ω
TT2 @ 7.3 W RMS 8Ω single ended.
TT2 @18W RMS 8Ω Balanced
Dave 2W RMS 8Ω (I think)

removing the vent spacer would be a supreme PITA. To tune lower you need to decrease its cross-section area by adding more spacer. this is fairly easy.
OK. I have the larger 2.5 litre microPlus enclosure in my sims and that is what i was looking at. For the 2 litre version the amount of tuning difference is even greater, but the soze of the bump is not much higher than in the mistuned 2.5 litre box.
Offer still stands, i can figure out how much vent spacer to add. This can at 1st be done temporarily to see if you like the result.

Thats super 8.5mm is a good number to work with I have some 9mm mdf in the garage a run over with the orbital sander will quickly take a strip down to 8.5mm and making it a tight push fit in the gap will make the modification pretty painless to try.
Very much apreciated the tuning advice.
