Low-profile PC speakers?
(1/3) > >>

So, I've got a Sony PVM for my consoles: http://s242.photobucket.com/user/infernolab/library/Sony_PVM-20N2U?sort=9&page=1

I rescued from eWaste recycling a couple of old Harman Kardon speakers from work, wired their AC adapter into the monitor's internal IEC power cable connector, & screwed them into existing monitor cover cooling holes to attach them to the case.


They look silly. They wing out rather far. Plus, they're a bit of an impedance when trying to reach behind the monitor, & my 1-year-old will wreak havoc on them them when he learns to get on top of that cabinet.


I'd like to swap them out for a low-profile, short speaker pair that look better & will be more robust. Any suggestions? What I envision is something like an old sports car pop-up headlights wedge shape that points small speaker cones frontward but doesn't stick out too far from the case.

Or, perhaps a typical "tower" PC speaker that provides a good surface for mounting it in a vertical orientation (by screwing through a nice big flat side wall) rather than mounting them sideways through their flat base, as I did.

Thanks,
-Jason

If you want to use the current speakers, I'm sure you can fine some large "L" brackets.  Mount them with part of the "L" between the speaker and the monitor, and screw into the speakers from the back (make sure the screws won't hit any internals).

If you are just looking for speakers, do a search for wedge shaped automotive speakers.  Made for sitting in the rear windows of cars.

Not a bad idea--thanks. If I were to implement this, though, it would be rather kludgy. I'd be happier w/ mounting a speaker directly to the monitor housing. :]

Thanks,

How much empty space is there inside the box ?? -- could go the Auto speaker route and mount inside the cabinet with the speaker grill on the outside or perhaps a TV style Sound bar that is made to mount to the bottom of the TV but you could probably mount on the top rear of the box (Newegg has a refurb Vizio for $47 shipped - ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882262004 )

Some of the enclosed oem tv speakers parts express has look pretty cool:

Like most times with PE, shipping might make it too expensive.
