A 36″ portable Bluestooth speaker.
Design Goals:

Driver Selection:
295-424
Enclosure Design:
This first attempt is in pine to keep cost down until I figure out how to construct it. I used a maze vent to get a bit more low end which worked out well. It was a totally guess on my part. The design software made my head hurt. Sounds Great!
Enclosure Assembly:
Brads and glue
Crossover Design:
High pass filter plate to the tweeters (cost saver) and I passed through direct to the woofers.
Tips & Tricks:
My only tip is to make sure you have enough room for all the electronics!
Conclusion:
The sound is great, the battery life is great, the bluetooth signal need work on the next one, the looks turned out well. I will however do much better on the next one.
