During the past few weeks, having a day off was almost impossible. Therefore, this project, which is essentially a mini version of the Bose PAS, was done at night, before sitting down to enjoy a tall glass of Kickapoo Joy Juice. This is basically a modification of the Logitech Z-5500 system, which has really performed well during the past several months. When the final project is completed, it will shorten the Logitech setup time to just a few minutes at most.

Thus far, the tower, which measures just 36 inches tall and 4 X 4 inches square, sound great for vocals and all high frequency sounds, but it still lack mid range sounds. I believe it has something to do with the enclosure, which I'm now in the process of modifying.









As you can see by the various construction stages above, the frame is made of 1-inch aluminum angle, the sides, top and bottom are made of 1/4-inch formica, covered with black felt and the front grill is made from ornamental, black aluminum and corved.

The speaker cables are all harnessed into a single cable that fans out at the end with 5 RCA plugs that are color coded and cut to the exact length. The post is attached to the top of the subwoofer with industrial strength Velcro, however, this too will soon be modified. The entire post weighs just over 4 pounds. With luck, I'll be able to fix the mid range problem with speaker particians made from Ethafoam and placing foam on the inner walls of the post.

More to come,

Gary
