Hi Chaps


I used a Visaton FR7 for this. I had an FR7 in a small bought box in P III beforehand, the sound from the homemade is so much better the depth of sound is vastly improved and its alot louder. I think this must be the size of the box that helps. The speaker is glued and screwd i then stuffed it full with cotton wool and most importantly made sure there were no gaps. It seems to work a treat. The good thing about making your own is that you can make the box as large as your space allows.

Really nicely done Jake

Pretty amazing how much equipment you can fit in such a small space with your custom speaker box

That is great! All the FRS 7 users should also give a listen to the FRS 8 I like it even more..more rich deep sound than the 7.

Very tight in there Carl, biggest one I could fit in to the mm.

Will try one out tao. Where I buy my speakers they only sell the FR7 but I think Ian might sell the FRS8 I'll have a check. cheers

I only looked into this sort of stuff fairly recently. It turns out that there's a whole lot of complex mathematics behind speakerbox design that is frankly beyond me, but there are a bunch of websites online that let you plug in the speaker's stats and it'll generate enclosure dimensions for you. Using a Visaton FRS7's values gave me speakerboxes that were literally cubic feet in size, so I just built the largest box I could physically cram in between the suspension.

It's loud, and it works. I suspect most of us are after volume before audio quality anyway.

Raminator that is a really nicely done hull excellent use of tight space!

That looking to cool

Miyareddy. A nice polite introduction, giving some details of any tanks, or skills you can bring to the forum, and your approximate location, would have been nice, before commenting on a thread which is eight years old.
