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.
