This is a box I made up to replace the standard sub box on my little Logitech speaker system for my PC. The hole for the speaker is designed for a 4" woofer out of my logitech system.
Im not an audio engineer, so I cannot verify this is technically correct for speakers or subwoofers, I just thought it would be fun to do.
I am printing this at 30% infill and 3 perimeters to give a good solid wall for sound to bounce off of.
The screws for this I think are M3 about a half inch long, dont need them that long though.
Edit: The speaker hole was dimensioned to the speaker i intend to put in which is not the logitech speaker. the logitech speaker does not sit flush in the hole, but still creates air tight seal.
The box sounds pretty good with the stock 4 inch woofer. I did have to find some loose cotton to stuff in there, enough to cover the plate behind the speaker but not enough to cover the port. this sounded much better over having nothing in there at all.
I plan to be buying a small powered amp circuit, and mounting that on the box so I can get a little more out of the speaker i intend to install in the box later.
EDIT:
Uploaded an alternate version, printing in progress but i think that a thinner channel may be a better way of porting. the speaker hole is also properly sized for the 4 inch speakers (first one was drawn off dimensions from the website when i bought the speakers, before they arrived)
so now the speaker should be properly inset into the plastic. plan to use RTV silicone or liquid electrical tape to seal the lid and box together after everything is wired up.
