Designer:
Molar65
Project Category:
Furniture
Project Level:
Intermediate
Project Time:
8-20 Hours
Project Cost:
$100 – $500
Project Description:
Modern style sound bar with bluetooth that a TV could sit on or above.
Design Goals:
I wanted something that sounded good and didn’t take up a lot of space. I somewhat used the “Hit maker” specs for a guide.
Driver Selection:
I could only use a 5″ due to space limitations.
Enclosure Design:
Solid black walnut, with top grain leather on the front and Alcantara type material on the back. 22″ hairpin legs. Approximately 44″w x 12″d x 8″h.
Tips & Tricks:
Take the wood to a cabinet shop for drum sanding in order to true it up. I had do deal with some warpage that complicated things, hence the custom tinted verathane.
Also, thin your verathane. It works much better on flat surfaces
Conclusion:
Really fun project and it sounds incredible!
About the Designer:
I like to work on projects that combine various materials.
