Hello all, this is my newest project, it will look like the minions......the cartoon characters, not the speakers. Tentatively the single eyeball will hold one driver and the body will hold a dayton ds135 in a bandpass configuration. The TB w3-881 fits the bill visually for the eye, but I may change my mind.

Here's a couple more photos -
Awesome!!!!!!!
Glad you're going with one eyeball, those seem to be my favorite minions for some reason.
I'll be glued to this thread for your progress.
Oooohhh... patapatooo!

I GOTTA see these when they are finished! Even if they aren't "Hi-Fi", the fact that they'll be so darn CUTE makes up for it! I'd love a pair for computer monitors at work!Comment

Too Cool! And the kids will eat this up. You could even do a horn version if you were feeling ambitious enough.

Another option. An external port shaped like a bazooka.

P.S. Rut-Roh... I just did a search and there is also a 'Tom' the Minion.... he is a short two-eyed minion with a buzz cut usually dressed as a maid???
Yikes...I expected more from my namesake.
