3" Speaker Pod Mod

[Stonerboy779]

So I got around to fixing up the pods yesterday and they are much better. Used them to watch some eps of 2 broke girls and then the walking dead with the girlfriend. Much better quality and soundstage from these little 3" speakers than anything the tv was giving haha

 

Anyway a little run through what I did.

 

 

Naturally I pulled them apart and here is the one that I tested on with an old foam sleeping mat. A much messier and well greener foam waveguide/baffle that I would like.

 

 

So once everything was apart it was time to lay the grill down on the new and really quite firm closed cell foam. Get some marks on it so I could first cut around the mounting posts and other crap that made up the shell and then cut out the internal shape and hole for the speaker.

 

 

 

Cut out now and with a bit of persuasion from the back of a thin paintbrush I got the foam sitting in the face of the pod.

 

 

It looks a little messy but its not as messy as my hand got as it turns out the texta doesn't dry on the foam. So i got it all over myself while cutting and trimming.

 

 

Anyway a before and after of the pod.
