Speakers are different in many ways. for one, most speaker drivers need to be in an an enclosure of a certain volume (whether or not it's ported) to help reinforce bass.
Is this quite ideal? I don't understand this reinforcement thing really--how do you design the enclosure to reinforce certain frequencies? In physics terms if possible And wouldn't the resonance from the enclosure be out of phase with the sound produced directly from the driver?

And sorry, I can make absolutely nothing of the pic you posted, it looks like a wardrobe to me Can you explain what it is?
