A project log for budget hi-fi floorstanding speakers

the goal for this project is to have €150 spent per speaker at most, while having a warm and rich sound

since the origiginal enclosure design was for a 3-way system, i had 2 sealed compartiments (1x 4liter for mid, 1x 2liter for high) and one 12,8liter ported area for low

fun and all, but i currently have the compartiment for the mid speakers unused (literally an empty area for no speaker)

so i calculated that if i opened it up for the midwoofer to use as well, i have roughly 16liter for the woofer.

i decided to open one speaker and cut the wood seperating those 2 compartiments out, and applied cable clamps to make the cabling internals more solid.

i then screwd it back together and tested it to compare the 2 designs, the result is noticable, especially in the low end, lower frequencies are played better and i have slightly less port noise, the woofer doesn't get beyond it's xmax now at lower frequencies (need to test which frequency is the lowest though) plus it saves some wood costs!

the issue of the high prescence is still there, so i will staill have to order new limiting resistors to get the high at a bit lower volume levels
