Decorative Box

[aoluain]

HI,

I was thinking about putting some speakers into a box!

as in making a decorative box with a front grill to put an
existing speaker into purely for aesthetics

is it a done thing? what are the consequences?

Thanks in advance

One fun thing you can try is to attach a funnel to the bass reflex port of your speaker, making sure the edges are good and sealed against the cabinet around the port. Then attach a kazoo to the other end of the funnel. Play something bass heavy and let the good times roll.

Metal I assume ?

Well, the funnel can be plastic if you wish. After all, the vent within the speaker cabinet is probably either PVC or a used firework. But yeah, a metal kazoo will probably offer better resonance I think. If you don't have one, you could try a squeaker from a dog toy.

yea i knew that and the squeaker doesnt work, i meant HEAVY METAL with loads of bass
