Summary
Build this low cost, high output, desktop subwoofer for Hi-Fi music listening or for PC gaming. It just needs a few off the shelf parts and a 3d printer. A short video for more details on the build.
Background:
I've been working from home for over a year and felt my PC desktop audio system needed an upgrade. This sub-woofer is based on the Peerless Tymphany SDS-135F25CP02-04 5.25 inch driver which costs < $30. I 3d printed the cabinet using PETG. I'm amazed at how good this sounds and feels.
Printer: JGMaker Magic
Rafts: No
Supports: No
Resolution: 200
Infill: 45% cubic
Filament brand: Any that your printer has dialed in
Filament color: Any
Filament material: PETG or PLA
Notes: In order to deal with the stress the driver will create and to sound as it should, print with:
- 4mm walls
- 40% to 50% infill. I used 45% cubic
- PETG, PLA should work as well
If you can, slow down the fan a little to make sure the filament bonds very well. If using PETG as I did, turn off the cooling fan. Another option is to extrude at a slightly higher temperature.
Note that both files need to be printed. The 1st is the subwoofer cabinet and the second is the speaker stand.

- 1 Peerless Tymphany SDS-135F25CP02-04 5.25 inch Sub-woofer
