This sound bar was designed around 2.5 inch full range drivers and 3/4 inch tweeters. The left and right enclosures are sealed. This sound bar is intended to be used with a suitable subwoofer or the accompanying 6.5 inch subwoofer build, also available on the SoundBlab website as a build plan. You can also connect this sound bar to an AVR or to a subwoofer with 2.1 amplifier output.
(You can buy this Sound Bar build plan and the 6.5 inch Subwoofer build plan as a combo and save on the combined cost).
The goal was to design and build an elegant looking system that can fit into most home environments. When following this build plan, it can easily be built with everyday woodworking tools by someone with beginner woodworking skills. The construction follows butt joints. Finishing is up to you and you can follow my build exactly or opt for an enclosure that can be painted in the colour of your choice. I made this design for my 55inch TV, but if you want to adjust the length, you can just recalculate some of the dimensions to suit your TV.
