Hi! Wanted to finally join overgrow and post something that could be useful for those many out there (myself included…) that still live under ignorant draconian laws in regard to this healing herb. I am all for personal small grows; think it is and always will be a good thing in so many ways, no matter how good quality and organic the big “factories” eventually get. There just is something about your own homegrown.
And, this my little mod of a small (can of course be scaled up easily enough…) hifi-speaker can be a solution to some situations where nothing else seems to really fit the picture (of the living room or office space or whatever…).
-If anyone should ask why you are modifying a speaker in such a weird manner, you can always tell them it’s for sound quality, which is actually a very realistic reason, as can be seen in these photos of a lot of different DIY speaker mods…:

This little “JungleWoofer” will be v.2 - the first version (identical speaker but different solutions…) can be found here: Hamppuforum - Kirjaudu sisään (google translate will probably crash if you feed Finnish to it, but go for it…
So… this is quite a simple project to complete, but still seems to have left me with these 145 pictures even after a thorough selection process. I suppose the pics do most of the explaining, so I’ll keep words to a minimum. Questions & suggestions are very welcomed!

DRAWINGS:
-design nr.2 would have been a better design because of the larger filter area, but couldn’t really fit that into this small speaker, so went with design nr.3 instead; more simple, and seems to work well enough, even with the fan not going on full power! Btw, it almost looks like there is a fan also right behind the filter, but there is not. The only fan is on the outside of the front of the speaker in this version, as well as in the former version mentioned earlier…
-Started with this:
-Let’s upgrade…
A few firm hits with the hammer (through the large opening…) against the inside of the backboard gets it loose without damaging the edges too much…
Glued slightly broken corners…
The raised “floor” of the grow space…
Made the bottom air-intake hole using a 90mm saw drill bit.
Painted the underside of the raised “floor” dark so that light doesn’t bounce through that way…
The “back-wall” of the growing space… drilled the air outlet hole with a 75mm saw drill bit + painted a first layer of white…
Glued it in place! A bit too short but doesn’t matter as the upper part will be hidden away anyway.
Painting the “door” 's edges dark for light entrapment purposes…
Painted dark so it blends in better…
Paint job done! (dark paint, again, is to stop light bouncing in or out through the air-intake…)
