Speaker Construction plans
The requirements for this project state that I have to make my own set of speakers at the end of the semester. This couldn't be a better project requirement if you ask me. I get to put all of my learning into action, build awesome speakers that I will get to keep (and most likely use in college), and get credit for it! For the final part of my project, I have decided that I will follow Project 3 from the book "Designing, building, and testing your own speaker system." It is a ported-box mini speaker that is very similar to the one I had in mind. They are small but still produce a good amount of sound. They will be very portable and will not cost as much for me to build because the drivers and box are smaller. It is also nice bcause the drivers that the book suggests I use can be purchased from Meniscus Audio which is the company I plan on asking for help in my construction. Their vast knowledge on the topic of speakers will help me make mine much higher quality. And with the money I'm going to be spending on this project, I want the speakers to be the best possible.
I also need to do one other thing for this project, a speaker test of a public facility. I am taking the decibal meter and test CD home with me today and will have results and a post of my test on posterous soon!
