Speaker Enclosure for 4" Driver
Speaker Enclosure for 4" Driver

With this Covid thing hanging around and causing us not to be allowed to venture outside for pretty much anything I decided to do another Speaker design. This one should fit pretty much any standard 4" driver - with an outside diameter of 11.5cm and cutout of 9.5cm. You can mount a female RCA plug in the rear for the wiring.
This design is an open type (which as with my other designs is not based on any audio science whatsoever, so don't ask me for the calculations of the ports). I have put one of the drivers in I had laying around and I have to say, the sound is not half bad.
I will probably be using this design as the base for something similar to my modular sound bar allowing you to print multiple enclosures that can be attached together to form a larger unit.
I have printed the enclosure "face down" with supports. As an experiment I reduced the layer height to 1.5mm on my print. Print time was well over 24 hours at 6cm a second with 20% infill so you will have to be patient.
