Wall-mounted speaker based on the PE Encore?

[lunchmoney]

I'm very much digging the Parts Express Encore design as home theatre mains, due to it's modest size and simplicity, as well as its supposed good performance when close to a wall...

It uses a .25 cubic foot sealed cabinet, with outer dim's of 12" high X 7.5" wide X 10" deep.

What I'm wondering is if I can make a wall mounted version, using the same drivers, same crossover design, same distance between the drivers, and same internal volume... but a different shape which allows it to be close to the wall (taller, wider, and not as deep) and angled inwards...

Will this result in a similar speaker? Or will the different shape screw it up?

You can make the baffle taller not wider

Do you mean that I can make it taller without messing things up, but not wider?

No. That's exactly what he didn't mean. :roll:

Yes..

You might read this thread. In post Music and Instruments our Chris D (aka CJD) makes a crossover for on-wall use..
