now the first set of speakers turned out really nice in terms of sound but they're still a little bit too big for my small desk.... so here comes the second build!
this time I wanted to try a passive radiator design - something that many "boomboxes" are using to get a nice and deep bass... but one passive radiator seemed not enough for my taste, so I added another subwoofer to the concept...
drivers used:
fullrange drivers: Dayton Audio DMA80-4
passive radiator: Dayton Audio DMA80-PR
subwoofer module: Tang Band T3-2190S

for my first try I CNCd the parts out of 12mm MDF which took about 2 hours

but I also tried some other materials... the gray composite material looks really nice...!

now the original plan was to build the WONDOM JAB5 in one of the speakers and the PSU in the other one to have some true active desktop speakers ... but unfortunately I'm too stupid to program the DSP on the JAB5 using Sigma Studio ... so for now I've decided to have them run as passive speakers and using an external DSP Amp...

the "maintenance hatch" was originally meant to hold the JAB5 and PSU... but as I said earlier I'm just going passive until I figure out how to use Sigma Studio...

last but not least CNCd a faceplate / nameplate (originally where the pots / buttons should have been placed)

and here they are: REVOCCASES RCC SP2
