Hi everyone, I’m new to speaker building. It all started because I wanted nice speakers for our bedroom. The TV's speakers sound terrible. My criteria was something I could wall mount that would look nice next to the flat screen, sound good and not cost an arm and a leg. I couldn't find a commercial solution. So, I figured, why not build them myself. Well after a lot of reading and research, I learned it was best to start by building a proven design. I changed direction and started by building a set of Classix 2.5 floor speakers as a gift for my brother.
I want to give a big thank you to Paul Carmody for sharing his designs with the community. I learned a lot in doing this first build as I'm completely new to woodworking. There were several mistakes and rework along the way. In the end I was satisfied with the result and my brother was thrilled.
Before I get into the project itself, let me share a little about me. I have a passion for European cars, high performance driving and all things tech including hi-fi audio, home theater and home automation.
Project details
Classix 2.5 design modified for removable back (in case I screwed something up along the way).
Cabinet made from 3/4" Baltic Birch. Locking miter joints.
Front baffle is recessed into the sides.
Front and back are painted
Sides are finished with Danish Oil
In process and finished pictures attached.
My next project is going to be a small subwoofer. Ultimately, I'm going to need one to go with those bedroom speakers that started this whole thing.
