Hi, I am interested in building an IPod type speaker, not too big but not too small, 2 3 or 4" woofer and 2 tweeter. Tried to look for a thread, but couldn't find any similar to my idea.
My question is how to study the correct accord to reproduce bass from a small enclosure.
Which are the parameter I should look for the drivers.

You can model the driver in winisd using the T/S parameters. You're not going to get much bass from a tiny enclosure using a small driver.


Another option is to buy a pair of PC speakers and remove everything. This way you have an amp and crossover.

This speaker in a 7 inch cube does not sound bad.

Designing a crossover is a pretty complex task. You might look for more existing designs.

Ok, now I have plenty of directions to start thinking.
