Compact transmission line speakers

Life wants more, so things need to be compact in a limited space.
I wanted to make a compact speaker with enough bass but distinct mid. My importance is in life like mid. One of my friend Hari introduced a Peerless driver which has almost flat mid frequency reproduction capability in a tiny 3 inch cone, 3.5 inch driver.

I conceptualize a two fold compact pipe based speaker design that can have a line length of 28 inch yet actual height of just 14 inch. It still has driver space of 5 inch too.

A demo version made out of PVC pipe, thermocol and card board proves my design will work.

I then used 6mm mdf board for my required pieces, cut them from a wood molding shop.

I cut the PVC pipe by self. I secured those mdf plates with mseal. Later, I came to know that one can use a quick adhesive called Vetra as a most effective sealant and adhesive.

Here are some photos of those two speakers. The box you see in front of them is actually an active cross over, but this is used to show how a compact amplifier with UB and FM connection can look like.




I will add a drawing of internal later. that will explain how this can easily be made at home.


Here is a link to a small video of it playing songs of Papon from his album "the journey so far"
