Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and i will start by apologizing for my bad English.  I want to build a speaker ball. (hanging from the sealing like a lamp. I've done some sketching and was wondering if you guys can give me some tips and tricks about this idea. Price range around 300 US dollars. except the shell. I want the sound to give rich base and clear mids and highs. Material: Wood Diameter: 50cm Active speaker Source: bluetooth 2 or 3 way? Seald woofer or not? Drivers? ideas of improving acustics and still be a ball? Powersuply? Hope you guys can help!  Pictures of my sketching: https://ibb.co/LpC7pY9 https://ibb.co/sqDV10B https://ibb.co/DRxdZwy https://ibb.co/Fnzh1Z9 |

Buy a ceiling speaker and then build the enclosure around that with the bluetooth receiver & amp built in just be aware of cooling on the amp module. Something like a QSC AD-C6T would be a good starting point. ------------- Melbournes Rootical Warrior Roots - Dub - Steppers http://www.facebook.com/adrians.wall" rel="nofollow - facebook page |
