2.1 speaker build

[artyman]

It's been a while since I've posted here... been busy building more tools - most recently a laser engraver using a 1.6W blue laser.

This is my first full build using this, not only for labelling, but also marking out panels for cutting.

 

I decided to build my friend a 2.1 speaker system for his 40th birthday present, and using my new tools, and new skills... this is what I came up with!

The sub is based around a Monacor SP60 4" bass driver, and the satellites, an unknown brand 42mm driver, and 99pence tweeters (originally intended to be added to car hifi).

Front and rear panels for the satellites marked out.

Detail shot of the laser work.

Dry fit of the satellites.

 

Subwoofer panels marked out, ready for cutting.

The sub's front and rear panel glue-up.

Varnish time!

All hardware mounted in the satellites.

Cutting the feet for the boxes, with my logo lasered in. One mousemat sacrificed in a good cause! ;)

The finished product.

 

... and from the rear.

... and another view for good measure.

 

It was safe to say my friend was VERY impressed and pleased with his gift, and even I was amazed at the quality of sound, and the amount of bottom end from such small speakers.
