To celebrate Martin audio's 50th year - i thought i'd build myself a mini Martin audio modular stack!

The whole thing is just 10 inches wide x 15 inches high, pair of boots for scale.

215MK3 bass section is a single 5 inch subwoofer (£5 ripped from a Logitech sub!) + 8 inch passive radiator on the back of the cab. Built from 12mm MDF, then 6mm ply outer.

MH212 is 2 x 2.5 inch full range drivers (Also £5 from a Canton sound base!), the top is just for show. 

Powered off of a TPA3116 2.1 amplifier.

Fantastic! Love the modelmaking aesthetic to it. 

Sure beats the loads of 3D printed 'mini rigs' out there.

  I like that a lot! I'd bet that the full size version of that stack could still give most modern systems a run for their money all these years later.
