David,

For that Old Tube Radio Sound . . .
Try the Speaker-in-a-CardBoard-Box

First find/buy a 'basic' 4" to 5.25" Full Range Speaker.
[ The High Efficiency + Small Magnet + One Way Kind ]

Next - Take a CardBoard Box (9"W x 9H x 12"D)
{229mmW x 229mmH x 305mmD}
Single or Double Wall Corrugated "Shipping" CardBoard Box
from OfficeDepot / Staples / OfficeMax / UPS Store / ETC

Assemble the CardBoard Box {Speaker Enclosure} :
* Glued Closed One End which becomes the Front-End.
* Wait a Day for the Glue-End to Set and Harden.
* Cut a Hole to Fit your Speaker in the Glued End with Mounting Holes.

* Attach your Speaker Wires with Radio Connector to the Speaker
* Install the Speaker in the CardBoard Box and Mount it to the Inside
of the Glued-End.
* Folded Two of the Adjacent Flaps in-flat against the sides
at the Back-in-Side of the CardBoard Box and Tape and Glue
them in-place. Then Folded the other Two of the Adjacent Flaps
Even with the End of the Back-Side of the CardBoard Box
and Tape and Glue them in-place. This Creates a Rear 3"x3"
'Port' for the Speaker and gives it the Old Tube Radio Sound.

FWIW - Some People simply Fold All Four Flaps "IN" and
have the Back-end Fully Open and claim that this Gives a better
Old Tube Radio Speaker Sound to the Speaker-in-a-CardBoard- Box

TIP - Cover the Speaker with a Black Handkerchief - Go Raiders !


yes it is as simple as that ~ RHF

I wonder if there is a photo/picture somewhere on the internet that
shows how the Bose radio sound system works? I think the sound from the
speaker(s) is routed through a channel/tunnel setup.I own a small kids
type of record player/phonograph that dates back to the 1940's or 1950's
and the sound is routed through a cardboard channel thingy.

that's all folks ~ RHF

I could probally rig up something like that.Some thick old cardboard
(some old folks call it,pasteboard) and some Elmers glue.It would look
like h.ll though.

I own one of those round cardboard tube thingys that has a little
speaker in each end of the tube with a wire and a plug on the wire to
plug it into a radio speaker jack.I bought it about thirty years ago
from a guy whom used to do my income taxes forms for me.I plugged that
thing into one of my radios,I wasen't too impressed with it at all.It
sits on the top shelf of one of my closets nowdays.
