I didn't know that if you connected two speakers in parallel the resistance will be divided by the number of speakers! And if you connect them in series the resistance will add up! I definitely learned something new from this video. Thanks!
Thanks, I think I will reprint the enclosures and add some radiators to them as you have suggested. Also ordered a calibrated mic so I can measure the difference.
Good looking build...and definitely block the ports...are you using the 2 inch speakers as tweets or are they full range also...pretty amazing sound out of such little cones...I need to give this a go I think
Looks great! May I suggest picking up a miniDSP mic so you don’t have to guess how your enclosure is performing? Also check out WinISD and Hornresp for enclosure modeling.
I can already hear the nasty bassbump at around 120-150, most likely because the enclosure is not the right one for speakers. The only way to prevent that is taking TSP measurements, for example with the Dayton Dats V3.
Thanks for your comment, yes correct it is most likely not optimal size as I mentioned in video. Good to know about the dats v3 if I need in future. For future projects I think I will just buy speakers that are supplied with all the specifications so I can design correct enclosures for them.
Nice build! Definitely better with the ports blocked indeed.
Thanks!

Glad to hear, thanks!
definitely block the ports, but you could use a passive radiator, it will be much better

Nice build! Greeting from Hungary!
Thanks very much!
Could you please post the STLs ?
Stl?
If you had used passive bass radiator then bass could have been much better 😊
Thank you for your comment, I might add some in the future and try it out.
Whats the Corossoverpoint for the speakers?
I'm not sure what the crossover point is, it's just a 2.1 amplifier board.
hole saw was fine man you shouldve turned it over when you got halfway

Thank you. The 2-inch speakers are being used as full range.

Hi Andrew, yes they are both great suggestions! I am currently using winISD on my next speaker design. And plan to get a calibrated mic.
Your plastic cover for the bass driver work as a bass radiator. Block the ports
Thanks, I think I will!

Sound better with ports blocked
