Project Description:
This is a Heaven Hill whiskey barrel with an MKBoom BT speaker mounted internally.
Design Goals:
Wanted to see if I could integrate an MKBoom BT portable speaker from Parts Express inside a whiskey barrel. Also, wanted to have the controls for the speaker to be accessible on the top of the barrel through one of the many bottle configurations that I had in mind. Also, wanted to have dancing lights and a barrel-head shelf with a lazy susan.
Driver Selection:
Dayton Audio MKBoom Portable Bluetooth Speaker Kit Part #300-7166
Enclosure Design:
Provided knockdown kit.
Enclosure Assembly:
Followed the instructions, with the exception of the controller boards and rear panel control panel locations.
Crossover Design:
Provided in the kit
Tips & Tricks:
Patience. Also, having a router circle jig proved to be very helpful.
Conclusion:
There was plenty of trial and error, but overall I would say that if you have done any woodworking or home DIY projects, you can figure out a way to get this to work.
About the Designer:
Just a guy who likes finding the next fun little project. I think a couple of DMLs will be next.
