I only built birch plywood rectangular boxes(FAST in picture and I liked sound a lot). I think I can find huge surprise egg toys (30cm) and they may be suitable if I enforce inside) Regards

What about putting a mixture in a raindrop balloon and turning it to cover inside of balloon and then after it dries we can get a nice shape and easy to make enclosure. I watched someone make a surprise egg with cement but I think cement is not a good idea because of it may resonate. Which mixturr materials can I use?
Chatgpt told me to use fiberglass powder and epoxy or polyester resin mixture and putting mixture in the balloon. It will dry in 24 hours. Epoxy is about 10usd per kg and fiberglass powder is about 6usd per kg here. I am curious if it will be good.
When connecting 20cm IKEA bowls together it already needs a bridge circle to make a perfect sphere because it's height is a bit short.(About 9cm height) But I think tic tac shape may cause resonances because of it will have parallel walls ( we do not want parallel walls because of modal resonances ) However maybe noone can hear this because we will already make stuffing inside the box and they will be eliminated. Here experts will answer better imho Regards
I finally cut the boards.But not glued yet. Inside dimensions 203x165x132mm and MDF thickness 19mm.
But I couldn't decide which side to put the driver,wide side or narrow side?. And which position to put the driver. As I remember 1/3 of the side is good but chstgpt tells to put driver in center of the panel

Braces aren't great. They should be independent pioeces orthogonal to the slices.

I finally completed the assembly and glued the boxes, and I’m really satisfied with the sound quality! Initially, I tested them using a Muse TA2020 amp, but the output felt a bit underwhelming in terms of power. After switching to a Quad 405 clone amplifier, the difference was remarkable—the sound became much more dynamic and impactful.
In comparison to my older Aiyama speakers, I find the bass response in this setup slightly weaker. However, it’s worth noting that the Aiyama enclosures had about 15% more internal volume. That said, since these boxes are designed to work with a woofer in a 2-way configuration, the lack of deep bass isn’t a major concern for me.
Interestingly, I’ve also planned to use these speakers in full-range mode for specific types of music, such as instrumental tracks, where imaging and clarity are more critical than bass depth. I’m excited about the versatility this setup offers—both as part of a multi-way system and as a standalone full-range solution.
