So i finally got a chance to hook these up and listen to them. They sound awesome. Pretty amazing actually the range that they play using only a 3" speaker. They sound warm and even. Not overly bright and still fairly impressive bass response. They run off a small 20 watts per channel class t amp. Total build cost with the amp was around $125 a pair. Not including filament or paint. If anyone is interested i can work up a list of parts. Everything came from parts-express

Those must just barely fit on the bed. I'd be interested in a build list.

Jim, those are wickedly cool.
If you happen to have any pictures of the prefineshed part after it was printed I would love to see them.
Would you mind sharing the model?
Thanks
Erik

ok, i ordered all the parts from
http://www.parts-express.com. here are the parts:
speaker spikes/feet: Dayton Audio DSSG-3
binding posts: Dayton Audio BPA-38G
speaker: Fountek FE85
the spikes and posts above are gold. they do have other finishes available for those. as for the amplifier, i got that from amazon. its an SMSL model# sa-36a

erik, here are a couple pictures of it before finish and your right bryan, its almost the whole bed. this prints easily with zero support. the creator of the model designed this for a speaker that was discontinued so i scaled it a little to fit the fountek's above. if you want the scaled model that fits these just send me a pm with your email and i can send it to you. its too big to post here.

Did you modify the model or just scale it?
Either way I"ll take the file at my forum name at pingring dot org.
