Crab Pot Sealed Subwoofer

[Colonel7]

Not really a crab pot - name just came to me from the shape and the fabric my wife picked out. And we don't use pots in Maryland but I digress. This is a down-sized sonosub that I finished to be a presentable table. It's ~1.2 cubic feet stuffed with a pound of polyfill. The driver is a GRS12SW-4HE which is $60 at Parts Express. A cautionary tale for those not familiar with DIY. Yes it's a unique custom table but the BOM without amplification is $280. I had an amp on-hand which currently costs $135. And I was thrifty with materials. And it was a ton of work but fun. It started as a prototype that I didn't mean to put a finish on so there are definitely shortcuts and mistakes (or learning by doing as I prefer to call it).

Nice project!

Interesting form factory/style for a subwoofer. Not my style, but I still dig it for being different and functional. Make sure not to leave your drink there when the bass drops!

Make sure not to leave your drink there

... not my cup of tea.

Still, an interesting and cool project... the 'Unsuspecting Sub Mk1'.

That’s genius - sell the idea to IKEA to complement their Sonos range

Nice project!

Thanks! The wife says to make another one and sell it in St. Michael's for $2k.

Originally I was thinking more along the lines of this but with a walnut top and legs.

It's got me buy-in for multi-subs, so I'm all for it.

It needs 4 more legs.

St. Michael's? $4k easy.
