Full Range Boombox

[jonirvine]

It could be useful...The more the merrier : the actual Fc point might be too high;
you can play a little with driver's efficiency and you can start using the coil only and after also the capacitor
OR
just direct drive from amp's output, which brings no losses.

So do you have any experience/insight with this amp? Does the sub-out have a built in filter?

Yes, the built in XO on those boards are generally bad and next to useless. It's a high value like 400Hz in some cases so using a dedicated passive low pass is maybe a good idea.

I see your point about being the showcase. In that case show it off. Flat is very cool. There are some flat Tectonics BMR that sound great. It would give you matching looks.

Sorry but the little eyes ( the FR's ) are horrible.
Make something like the old phographers did
some rings around the belt to hold the films...er, no, the cylinders with the FR's

Excellent. Would cost $500 at Brookstone ;-)

That's for a plastic housing unit with inferior drivers. Something this quality would be $1000.

Here is a link to a DIY (?) version of a product called a BoomBot. I stumbled upon it while googling woodgraining, my current time-waster.

The speaker described would be a powerful one if it has a 250 watt amp

Usual disclaimer: I have no commercial interest in this product or service. I could not sell ice water to people in Hell

How to paint a woodgrain effect

Nice.

OK, $500 on clearance then I admire the "ply plywood" (glued togther woods) method. Years ago I saw a project for a big speaker that deliberately used different scraps and result was a crazy quilt varied wood product that looked unique. I guess it "wood" work for any furniture type project. Yep just use Google Images and enter "glued scrap wood" and a universe of possibilities pop up

My favourite part is the ply edges + rounded corners. I was thinking of how to steal that bit, without being as wasteful of the ply.

This seems like it would work: cut discs out of ply sheets that you intend to use as shelf braces, quarter those discs, stack them up, build the front + side panels onto these - see pic.

What you need is structural density or call how you like it ( to call ); consider aluminum > 1" or carbon fiber to be near the optimum.

Wonderfull project

Where have you found the metal clips to attach the leather strap?
