This is another awesome project I get paid to do as part of my UROP. I'm designing a set of cheap and easy speakers destined to be made by course 6 Freshmen. It's a neat design challenge because the name of the game isn't make the best thing you can, it's make the best thing that someone else can make, oh, and they have no fabrication experience.
At the beginning of this project I spent a lot of time online looking for easy ways to build decent speakers. This is a small sampling of what's out there.
These all have some pros and cons I won't go into here, but the short of it is I wasn't happy with any of these.Using PVC or some other pipe seemed like a good idea. To get a decent volume though you need to use some fairly large pipe, which in itself isn't a bag thing, but sealing the ends gets tricky.
