In case you’re curious to hear how mine is shaping out to be, here’s a quick demo:
Ratchet speaker enclosure test
I’m actually SO surprised with the results, it completely blows away what it used to be in the original enclosure.

FYI, I was looking at that exact enclosure for a project I was working on and quickly came to realize that without a bunch of design calculations and redesign for a specific driver it is probably going to be worse sounding than just mounting it into a basic box (with a port of you after feeling fancy).

Oh yeah I don’t doubt that for a second. This project is basically just me trying to learn how to use CAD software and I figured this would be a good exercise.
I’m curious to see how bad it’ll sound but the enclosure the speaker originally came in was so bad I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s not any worse, just a different kind of bad.

True, if you remodeled it completely the folded horn is a good exercise in sketching in particular!

Yeah I did remodel it completely from scratch. Although I know I didn’t do it properly it still taught me a bunch and it will make noise. That part should be done printing in about 2 hours, I’m excited to hear how bad it sounds and how many mistakes I’ve made in my design hahah.
