Looking for cabinet ideas for Mark Audio drivers

[audi0]

I am considering building a small pair of full range bookshelf size speakers using (most probably) Mark Audio CHR70 drivers.

Anybody got any cabinet design ideas I could use?

Here are a couple from Dave's library: http://www.frugal-phile.com/boxlib/P10free/CGR-dCHR-Ken-301113.pdf

Thanks Jeff, that’s a very good start!

I use a double(hyper) bass-reflex box.
It is a small size, and it produces the necessary and sufficient bass.

This one looks interesting too, thanks for sharing.

I think I’ll try the double (hyper) bass reflex design, I’m thinking that I will construct out of solid 19mm spotted gum hardwood which is very dense (950kg/m3)
Any thoughts?

When using 19 mm, adjust the size of the parts so that the inside volume does not decrease.
If you use hard solid wood, the sound will be harder, so increase the sound absorbing material as you like.

Thanks for the feedback, will do.
