Concept
I wanted to make a small speaker box for an iPod with an integrated iPod connector. After searching long and hard I came across a desk grommet from an office computer supply store. The grommet is designed for connecting iPhones and iPods to your pc, but it also had a 3.5mm audio jack that worked out perfectly for this project. I stared with solid walnut and built the box fairly small, (6”x12”x5”). I finished it natural meaning no dye or stain, walnut is beautiful bye its self. I chose 4” coaxial speakers to get a full range of sound and the Dayton T-amp module to drive the speakers and a single 1” flared port. It turned out great and sounds best in small to medium sized rooms. I did change the color or the LED to green and added a chrome knob to achieve the look I was going for.

About The Designer
I am a 30 something carpenter and woodworker. I also love music and this was my first real attempt at an audio project. It may have turned into my new hobby. I look forward to putting my skills with wood together with more speaker projects.
