In this class, we did a guided ideation to come up with a few ideas for speaker designs. My favorites are circled.

Most of my feedback confirmed my thoughts that the ship idea would be the most interesting of my two designs, though much more complicated. The two questions that were asked the most were: Where are would the speakers go? And what would the hull/boat be made of.

I think this will be a good design because, I think it will be fun to build, it is a design I'm proud of, and I think it is a novel thing to put speakers in. I think the entire design challenges me. This will be the first time I design somthing to 3d print, then join it to metal, then spray paint it, etc. 

Currently in my design I've finished the wood cutouts for the top of the boat, and I've almost done making the smokestacks for the speakers. I still have to shape the hull (bottom right photo).

My idea was to build a 1910s ish boat with speakers coming out of the top in the funnels. After doing some cardboard prototyping I learned that my tolerances for my top wood cutouts were wrong and I fixed those. I cleaned up the hull and tried to shape a mesh into a bow. The only thing left to do is clean up the top speaker designs.

My idea is to make a 1910's kind of boat , and have my speakers be installed in the top of the pressfit as the smokestacks. (I didn't get to building the smoke stacks, but as of this post I've completed the Rhino design.
It was difficult to build the top bit as the pressfit is built for 0.25 pieces of wood, not thin cardstock. Nevertheless, the design revealed some size problems in the hull. It was fixed in the above post about my rhino design.
I also learned that I made the tolerances for the pressfit too big.

I've learned that all the resistors and capacitors connecting to the audio jack  often cause the screeches in the audio, which makes sense given it's the audio jack.

I was wondering how and what the ferrite chokes do for the audio. The AI overview says it takes out high-frequency interference in the circuit by converting the high-frequency energy into heat.
