Take a look at the Celestion dual driver subwoofer from the 1980's. Small, pseudo-open baffle...

On another note, something like this could be done so much better by someone with your woodworking skills

Where's the "Like" button.... LOL

It's a good Idea!

I might have to try my hand at it!

How thick is the Delrin you use for cases?

Plastic is relatively difficult stuff to work with.

Stuart,
I apologize if you were offended by my banana comment. I appreciate fine workmanship of which I am quite incapable.

However I sometimes have built amps in unusual containers and my first thought on seeing your photos was 'how could I build something' with a banana shape. I have been pondering the idea ever since.

Those are cool! I would do something a little more concise.

I guess the real issue is that I have spent almost all my time learning how to build speakers, and very little time trying to figure out how to sell speakers, which, in the HiFi industry as a whole, seems to be a little more important. There is clearly lots of stuff out there that hobbyists like us can do better, but most people still prefer to buy from a manufacturer because there is a name and a reputation.

A speaker banana shaped would be good too!

So many GREAT speakers have gone by the wayside over the years. Some would be nearly impossible to copy, like the Nestorovics. IF you can build one cheaply (affordable for YOU), so you can make a profit at it, try the CAF, that's why it exists.

Another option is selling through another vendor, either retail, or on-line.

Fancy webpages help. That way, the purchaser has no idea that you are working on your dining room table, eating Cheetos in your underwear while building his masterpiece.

See Chris, I have long ago figured out that I have none of the skills you do. Can't learn them, riding the short bus of woodworking. As soon as I get my design figured out, you'll have a job to do!

Trying to replace my beloved Maggies.

Then I have to find someone who has a huge house, lives alone and likes giant, inefficient speakers to buy them.

I have a really small market.

Pass the word!

No offense at all!! Trying to be funny!!!

I was laughing in the background, trying to remember the last time you were offended by bad humor....... LOL
