Help with home theater speaker box design.?


Ok, I'm looking to build an awesome home theater system using car audio speakers. I have 2 Alpine type R subwoofers and 4 - 6.5 round speakers with amps and everything. What I don't have for all that is beautiful speaker boxes which i plan to make using walnut wood. All of the construction I can do. What I'm finding difficult is finding the dimensions, Qts, Dp, Xmax and all that to get the optimally designed box. What size port to use ect...... I would like to build four boxes for the 6.5 rounds and for now one subwoofer box. If anyone with this knowledge could please help me I would appreciate it greatly. If at all possible I would even like to contact you so we could discuss this further. Thanks!

Take a look at this software:

Also you can get others, do a search for "speaker box design"
I wouldn't like to discourage you, but in the long run it would cost you more to do it yourself, than if you buy a good but inexpensive system.
If you find satisfaction on doing it yourself, then go for it!
Speakers designed for cars aren't the most suitable for the home, but they are OK. In addition to the box design, you would have to have the right cross-overs, but you may already have them.
A 5.1 receiver may have outputs that may not be suitable to drive your car speakers, but perhaps they would be OK, just know that this may be the case. Different speakers have different sensitivity, so some require more power than others to produce the same acoustical output. On a 5.1 system all of these are matched.
You can email me if you want, look at my profile.

Description

Special effects add excitement to the home theater experience, but the dialogue in a great movie is just as important. While your front and rear speakers process action and effects, the VCS-10 center channel works with your surround sound receiver to produce dialogue with rich, natural tones that seem to come directly from the screen. Each phrase can be lifelike and clear, so you dont miss a word. The VCS-10 center channel speaker is designed to complement your TV or entertainment center. Its patented Compound Loaded® drivers deliver clear, cinema-like dialogue. And Articulated Array® speaker design locks dialogue on screen and provides a large consistent sound field for a cinema-like experience. The VCS-10 center channel speaker features slim, sleek dimensions that complement your television or entertainment center. Picture distortion is prevented by the VCS-10 center channel speakers magnetic shielding. This center channel speaker is an appropriate choice for upgrading your component home theater system one piece at a time.

Whether you're upgrading an existing surround speaker system or adapting your current listening system to accommodate the surround capabilities of DVD and HDTV programming, the VCS-10 center-channel speaker from Bose is your key to attractive, exciting home theater sound. Get more from your component system and let the whole family enjoy lifelike movie dialogue, even when people are seated off-axis from the speaker and screen. The VCS-10 is designed to complement your existing TV or entertainment center. Its patented Compound Loaded drivers are built to deliver clear, cinema-like dialog, and its Articulated Array drivers "lock" dialogue to the screen and provide a large, even sound field. The speaker's magnetic shielding prevents image distortion when the speaker is mounted atop a TV or computer monitor. The speaker comes with 4 pre-attached feet and 4 optional-use additional self-adhesive rubber feet. According to Bose, standard zip cord (2-conductor, 18-gauge wire) works for most applications. If your speaker will be more than 30 feet from your audio/video receiver or amplifier, however, Bose recommends 16-gauge wire (45 feet) or 14-gauge wire (70 feet), for hookup that maintains a maximum frequency-response deviation of +/- 0.5 dB. What's in the Box Center-channel speaker, adhesive rubber feet, a user's manual, and warranty information.

  • Center channel speaker for your home theater system components
  • Articulated Array® speaker design
