Tech Ingredients builds a pair of large Voigt speakers and explains ported, transmission line and horn designs. It tests them in an anechoic chamber and uses constrained layer damping for the enclosure.

Cited as a DIY speaker reference when commenters discuss building their own audio gear.

In this video, they explain that the bandpass port for letting air out of typically the back of speakers is essential for acoustic transmission including bass; and they made an anechoic chamber. "World's Second Best Speakers!" ▶ this video TechIngedients also has a video about attaching $6 bass kickers to XPS foam to make flat panel speakers about as good as expensive bookshelf speakers.

What sort are you thinking about building? I keep toying with building either the flat panel speakers made out of foam-core board from Tech Ingredients on YouTube, or the big giant speakers he made. link ▶ this video edited: Thought DIY Perks did the big speakers, found them on Tech Ingredients.
