Speakers:
Proof of concept was I got tired of hearing about the "Bose wonder cubes" from three customers every time they came to our store office.
(why bose wonder cubes? well I wonder what kind of idiot/fool buys them).
So instead I decided to make my own:
Speaker motor drivers were the cheapest I was able to get:
Four dollar per 8 inch car audio Titan (made in China) woofer and two dollars per each soft dome silk tweeter.
Setup for speaker boxes was regular pine box with three axis internal reinforcement, acoustic suspension type or sealed instead of ported, internal liners were first layer fiberglass and resin with second layer non resonant mineral highway tar at 810 degrees F.
Outer layer of each box was 1/8 rosewood glued to pine boxes and sanded to finish at 1200 grade sandpaper with three hand rubbed lacker coats.
Each channel was two 8 inch drivers for total 8 ohm load with a smaller second box via poly capacitor with two three inch drivers with single softdome tweeter.
Each channel: left, center, right, right surround, left surround.
Total driver count:
Five tweeters.
Ten three inch drivers.
Ten 8 inch car audio woofers.
One Sherwood home theater amp. with dolby digital and fiber optic in.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Subwoofer section:
Four ten inch dual voice coil Resonant brand subwoofers.
Two Sherwood home theater amps with fiber optic in.
One Alessis thirty band dual channel crossover.
SPL or Sound Pressure Level reaches past the 130 DB on the measuring mike at one meter.
Customers come in and I point out that those speakers are the cheapest I was able to get.
And how do they sound?
Well when you have non-resonant and solid as concrete enclosures and massive piston area it gets real loud real fast with NO distortion.
The three customers came back and they shut-up real quick about Bose brand micro crap cubes.
