Hi all, let me first say that this was more geared to a 3D printing project and a bit of science normally dedicated to components and drivers has really been pushed to the side. So apologies to the audiophiles who get offended by the post
The design was first thought up whilst enjoying a double IPA (craft beer) and thinking, wouldnt that be a trip to have a can blaring out some tunes at a BBQ. There are currently two other versions of this that will actually resemble a can more, but this version was after somebody suggested something downward firing like a bose soundlink evolve...The driver in this is a non name chinese ali-express 2' full range, which according to the write up, might need to research into what toxic actually means....
now this is where it starts getting even wackier.....it is housing this 2 inch driver, 8 PUI passive radiators, 1x fully programmable 5V BT/Amplifier CSRA64215 and 1x panasonic 18650 battery. The battery can be charged from the top and volume, play and on/off from the buttons on the side.
I would love to say what this thing was tuned to, but alias, you buy chinese no name gear, you aint going to get any T/S parameters and to top it off, out of the 0.015cuft of space, i didnt take into account how much 1x board, booster chip and battery would take up internally.
Would i do it again, probably not as i didnt like the idea of not knowing what i could normally sim, but will post a video of how it sounds over the next few days, once i can give it a bit of a stress test
.
Would like to finish the other two, but.....suspect i will get a similar result as those two had no name passives, but the lower sensitivity Visaton BF37's.
here are some photos of the end product in the meantime.
