Hi,
nothing special here but just an idea I´d like to show you which worked out pretty good with lots of WAF, too 🙂
Frustrated by the horrible sound of the built-in flatscreen TV speakers, I rebuilt an IKEA bedside cabinet as an airtight subwoofer case. The net 16 litres volume turned out to be a good match for the 20 cm / 8" woofer I used. I added two satellites with Tang Band W3-871B fullrange speakers each. At the moment this 2.1 setup is powered by an el cheapo 2.1 TPA3116D2 based amp, but this probably will change soon.
What should I say, the wife is happy with the optical aspects of this solution and I am stunned by the vast improvement in sound quality compared to the TV-internal speakers. So, yet another big fun DIY project 🙂
Kind regards,
Tom

Hi Wolf,
I feard a little it would rattle, but it doesn´t. I put pieces of felt under the pillars and the weight of the cabinet w/ the speaker obviously helps preventing rattling.

Tubes4e4, that's a fine solution, nicely done!
My Panasonic flatscreen is a great TV, but the sound is also much to be desired.
No bass to speak of, so, I created a compact subwoofer that hides discreetly beneath the Ikea cabinet that the TV sits on.
I had a Focal center-channel speaker with a blown cheap tweeter, so I yanked it out, sealed the opening, and cut the top for a plate amplifier used in subs.
It gives the TV sound a nice "bottom end" now, and makes TV viewing much better.
