15.1cm internal diam PVC pipe.
5 inch driver ('Response CW2192')
12.7 litre internal volume
Ported out the bottom (4.3cm diam x 7.5cm length)
Tripod Legs rotated for minimum interface to floor (Spike)
Tweeter: CT2007
Crossover to tweeter : single capacitor 3.3uF and resistor 2.2 Ohm.
3D printed base and speaker housing.


The 90 degree curve swallows internal sound.
The length of pipe reinforces low-end frequencies ~ 150 Hz, right where the woofers' curve tapers off.. Then Below this (~ 60Hz), the port resonance kicks in. The effect is a nice chunk of Bass, added to the flat and clear mid-range frequency response of the 5 inch woofer. The tweeter adds crystal sounds above 5kHz, also where the woofer tapers off at the high end.
