Self-made full range sound boxes made of MDF, by Eric

In this DIY project Eric shows how he made his own custom sound boxes. He opted for blank MDF and ordered it custom-made online. This way he could start his project immediately.

Description of Eric

As a HIFI amateur, I want to make speakers with a high efficiency so that they can be driven by a class A amplifier with small power , 2 x 8 watts

How I made this project

I started from a full range speaker from Audax and an existing project for the cabinets from "La maison du Haut-Parleur" in Paris. You can find the sketch here. I ordered blank MDF panels of 25 mm thickness, which they delivered to my home after 3 days, very well packaged and, importantly, perfectly sawn to size, which is essential for building sound boxes. I glued the various panels with wood glue, later covered with acoustic insulation and bitumen self-adhesive panels. The bass reflex output is visible at the bottom. The recesses for loudspeaker and connection terminals were made with a router, as were the round holes. Furthermore, there is an electronic filter inside for a slight correction of the frequency spectrum. The entire project results in a high-quality loudspeaker for a democratic budget. The cabinets are still being sanded and painted with PU paint.
