    My Carmody Speedsters 2.1 build

    EDIT: Misread rules and would like mod approval first prior to posting thread. MODs please hide or delete this post unless you're ok with approving it. Sorry about that but don't want to be a line stepper.

    Hi everyone,
    Thought I'd share my latest build with a bedroom 2.1 setup of the Carmody Speedsters/Scanspeak sub I made. The Scan woofer is a NOS 25w/5565A I came across and built a sealed 2 cu ft sub enclosure. Unfortunately I didn't do a great job documenting the build with pictures but i think it's pretty self explanatory by the completed pics that nothing extraordinary was done to create them. Inspiration for the color and design came from the amphion Ion and their very high WAF. All I can say is that the bookshelves do sound pretty darn good and have a much larger presence than their physical presentation. The sub also seems to blend effortlessly although probably not the best choice for HT usage in a medium sized room.

    Very nice. I can't imagine my wife approving a sub in the bedroom. That is cool!

      Agreed!

      A V nice project.
      Clean, modern looking.
      I can see potential for a high WAF score.
