To make it easy for you go with your original plan and just drill a hole about the size of a half dollar right by the sub on the bottom and if you want a bit more add the PVC pipe. I looked at the speakers your using I was going a bit overboard. Sorry. And yes keep the speakers facing outward. BTW the cone? is that the port? If so to big.

Yes, I mean the cone is a hollow tube, it is in the same positioning as it was in the old box, and so is the sub. Thats why I put it in the same spots cause im assuming Logitech tuned it a bit
Is it the same box? If so you are good to go! Just flush mount the two speakers and your done as far as the mechanical work goes! As for portable powering. Don't know much on that. I to am about to make a portable using the iHome 2Go speakers but don't know how to amp them. I wonder if I can DIY an amp with a rechargeable power source.I wish you luck on your project.

The size of the box will be a bit bigger than the one the tube/sub came from. And what does flush mount mean? Thanks
Imagine that being put inside a box, so that is basically how it would look, with the wood being around it. So should I make a separate casing for the speakers so they are closed off from the inside?
Also, you wont see the gold plates around the speakers, the opening is the perfect size so only the actual speaker fits out.
This is how the cone is positioned with the sub. The sub will be visible from the outside. It is also raised about 2 inches off the ground.
NOW, the cone came from a box with the size of
5.9 in. x 8.7 in. x 8.7 in. (W x D x H)
My box will be this size, if anything smaller
9.8 in x 13.8 in x 13.8 in (W x D x H)
It might be smaller, seeing as there is alot of empty room, but I want to make sure that all the other stuff, ie crossover/amp dont interfere with the sound. So am I good to go?
That will work great. BTW what I call a port you call a cone. It looks promising. Add something at the end of the port to prevent dust from getting in. When mounting the speakers try to use some type of rubber ring around the speakers. And flush mount means that you will install something from the outside and not within. When I build sub boxes you first measure then calculate the volume within the box then finally install the speakers. You can have a thousand dollar speaker with a bad box and they will sound crappy. But if you have cheap speakers and a well tuned box they will sound good! Again the cabinet (box) is essential to the sound of the speakers. But your configuration will work fine. But again as far as portable power goes. I'm not to sure. All I know is that bad grounding gives you that annoying hum that can come from some speakers. GOOD LUCK!

So would it be okay if I only expose the actual speaker on the outside, ie any casing will not be seen
the idea of having the woofer front-firing is because i suspect that a fair amount of lower-mids will be produced by it, which would be muffled by firing downwards, making the sound boomier.
