Description
Overview
The Foxhole MT is a sealed two-way meant for a desk, not a concert. The goal was an honest near-field response that measures flat without DSP or room correction — just a passive crossover designed against real measurements.
A sealed alignment was chosen for its predictable low-frequency rolloff and forgiving placement near walls. The trade is reduced deep bass, which is fine on a desk where a subwoofer can take over below 60 Hz.
Design goals
- Flat on-axis response ±3 dB from 70 Hz to 16 kHz at 1 m
- Sealed enclosure for a clean, gradual bass rolloff
- Passive crossover only — driven directly by a small amplifier
- Buildable in two weekends with hand tools and a router

Build Guide
Cut and dry-fit the panels
2 h- Label every panel — internal vs external faces matter once you chamfer the driver cutout.
Glue up the enclosure
1 h + cureRoute the driver recesses
1.5 h- Take the chamfer in two passes — MDF tears out if you rush it.
Build and tune the crossover
3 hFinal assembly and measurement
