If you really want to enjoy your music to the full, without paying a fortune for the speakers, this is it!
Not only thousands of music lovers, but also a number of recording studios use the SQ-50´s because of their clean, natural sound with a wealth of detail that makes the music really come alive. The whole audio spectrum is clear, from deep dry bass upwards.
Tarsier Studios in Malmoe Sweden, a recording studio i Kenya (two pairs), and dozens of others use the SQ-50´s for their excellent sound quality. They meet very high demands.
They could easily sell for 2000 USD ready-built in a specialized Hi-Fi shop. Maybe even more, depending on what "brand" was glued to the front. But you build them for a fraction of that price. And, of course you decide yourself what surface you want, according to your preferences or to match your room.
The speaker kits have been sold in Sweden for over a decade with thousands of satisfied customers already, but recently some development has made them even better:
Autumn 2016: New filter, Audio capacitors and input conjugate link for even better performance.
Spring 2017: Re-calculated bass port. The bass was deep before, now even deeper. Without loosing any sound quality. An open, undamped sound with a welth of detail, also in the bass register.
Cabinet size, outside dimensions: H 80 cm, D 39 cm, W 23 cm.

The text and drawings below just show what our building instructions look like and are not intended for practical use, the measures are wrong.
You get the correct instructions for the model you want to build along with the HSQ-50e loudspeaker kit.

This is the lower (80 cm) variant of SQ-50, called SQ-50L

The higher variant (120 cm) of exactly the same loudspeaker, click here.

Cutting: You start off with a 2500 x 1200 mm 16 mm piece of fibreboard, the simple type with a hard surface and more porous inside that dampens resonances well. One board is enough for two boxes. Do the cutting in this order: 1. Set the saw to 800 mm and cut two lengths 800 x 1200 mm. 2. Set the saw to 394 mm, take the pieces from (1) and cut four 394 x 800 (= sidewalls). 3. Set the saw to 190 mm and cut six lengths 190 x 1200 mm. 4. Take two of the 190 x 1200 -pieces and cut four 190 x 394 (= lids and bottom parts) Keep the leftovers. 5. Set the saw to 110 mm, cut two 190 x 110 mm left over from (4). (Inner parts) 6. Set the saw to 750 mm, shorten two of the 190 x 1200 pieces to 200 x 750 mm. (Fronts) 7. Set the saw to 700 mm, shorten two of the 190 x 1200 pieces to 200 x 700 mm. (Back parts) Now cut out the holes for the speaker drivers on the fronts (190 x 760 mm) See the drawing. The tweeter cutout is 46 mm in diameter, placed 50 mm from the upper edge of the front. The woofer cutout is 149 mm in diameter, center of the hole 185 mm from the upper edge of the front. Also drill holes for the speaker contacts on the back of the box, preferably right behind the woofer, so you can easily reach it through the woofer hole if something happens like a soldering getting loose. Two 5 mm holes, separated 20 mm. Split a suitable length of cable, solder onto the contact, then fit the contact with two screws from the outside.

Before glueing the other sidewall, fit the damping material inside the box.
Cover the front, from about 90 mm from its lower end up to the woofer.
The front really needs no damping from there upwards.
Cover the inside of the lid.
Cover the back down to about a cm or so above the upside of the inner part.
Cover the upside of the inner part. Important: No part of the bass ports inside must be damped, it must "breathe freely".
Cover the sidwall you started with, but only down to about 90 mm from the bottom, se gray area in the drawing.
Damping of the remaining sidewall: Leave about 30 mm along the front, back and top edges, and 115 mm from the bottom, so that no damping material gets stuck in the glue when this sidewall is glued to the rest of the box.
When you have finished tacking the damping material onto the sidewall, glue the sidewall onto the rest of the box.
Now the box is ready!

The box stands on its sidewalls, and they don´t vibrate vertically, so no vibrations are passed down into the floor.
But you should still have some sort of feet (or felt or similar) to protect the floor on which you put the speakers.
If you use contact glue, the speaker drivers, filter and contacts can be fit immediately, you don´t have to wait for the glue to cure.

Important. Speaker cabinets with bass ports only fit drivers with the right Thiele-Small parameters.
The SQ-50 designs use the HSQ-50e speaker kit. Exactly the right drivers and filter design.
And, as stated before: Do not use the design example above, most measures are wrong.
The correct cutting template and drawing is included in the HSQ-50Fe kit.
