@@pumapunkudevelopment3376 Why? The basic of acoustical engineering ! Almost everybody knows the bigger the panels of a speaker are the more they flex under the pressure/decompression of the woofer. At certain frequencies, these panel enter into sympathetic resonance with the driver, producing audible noises. This is the reason a speaker cabinet must be inert as possible. Also, that's the reason with put acoustic damping material so the sound waves inside will be absorb instead of bouncing back into the driver with a delay. In fact, the same principle applies to a room.
@@yvesboutin5604 So, you are saying Kenwood needs a class on acoustic resonance? Even though they spent millions on R/D to develop their products. Bracing this cabinet will make it sound better than Kenwood's attempt at it?
@@pumapunkudevelopment3376 Yes !! First, Kenwood is an electronic company and they use third-party facilities to manufacture their speaker lines for them. Second, 90% of the price tag on the amp/CD player/cassette deck combo it was sold with was put in the electronic part of the system ( not shown on the video ). So, the speaker is a very low priority, as long as it makes sound. In America, one of those third-party companies are API (Audio product International ). It is a panel/glue /drivers/screw facility with no expertise in speaker design. Before China became the biggest manufacturer worldwide, most asian companies ( sony-Hitachi-Kenwood etc. ) use the woodworking 'expertise' of other countries to add to their products. Third, major speakers companies have their speakers made for them in China and keep only the top of the line products to be manufacture in their country of origin like Focal in France, B&W in UK, ELAC in Germany.
I bought these yesterday, they sound very decent, especially with a subwoofer
I know they are not high end but they look cool 👍🏻
❤
They look nice! With a bit of bracing the sound would be cleaner for sure! Thanks for the video !
How is bracing going to make them sound cleaner? Seriously?

Cheap stuff? Looks nice though.
