[QUOTE="kristianjohnsen, post: 3123, member: 441"] Hello all. I have been wanting to start another carpentry project for quite some time now and I have found out what I want to build: I have fallen in love with the idea of a compact speaker system where the top cab travels inside the sub. I have only ever seen two designs like this: One is the Outline Kangaroo: [URL]http://www.performing-musician.com/pm/sep08/articles/outlinekangaroo.htm[/URL] It's nice but way to high quality and expensive for what I'm aiming to use these speakers for. The other is a folded horn bass design by FBT where the top travels in the void of the big horn. It's big, heavy and I might have seen some T-rex clawmarks on the one I last saw, so not really what I'm looking for. The quality I'd be aming for would be JBL Eon15 quality and higher for the top, with a reasonable low end foundation for corporate playback, etc. So what do you think? Buy a kit with plans and hardware and recalculate the boxes so that they fit inside eachother yet still have the intended internal volume - and then make that? Buy stock subs, make a hatch, and just try to fit a stock top speaker in there? Other ideas? PS: I have never calculated and built something properly. I have made speaker boxes before, but they were either a shot in the dark or a copy of something else. I did OK at the carpentry stuff. Thanks for your input if you have any :) PPS: My dream system would probably have a reasonably powerful 15 inch sub with a built-in amp module and a 10 inch coax top that's powered off the sub.
