Google Max Sound Funnel

thingiverse

I own a Google Max speaker system in my main living space, but we never cared for its appearance as a large black object on our cabinet. We salvaged an old record cabinet by removing its non-functional components and installing the Google Max inside the shelf. Unfortunately, the sound quality suffered due to the open area and inability to direct the sound through the front speaker holes of the cabinet. My solution was to redirect the sound forward, which is what we achieved here. The cloth cover on my Google Max speaker system relies solely on friction-fit pins for attachment. This device replaces that cloth cover and allows the speaker to be pushed flush against the cabinet's front, enabling most of the sound to project forward. The significant improvement in sound quality was evident before and after installation, but I plan to enlarge the cabinet's speaker holes for an even better outcome. The geometry of the pin supports could be optimized to eliminate the need for additional support, but I don't intend to print another one of these devices, so this will suffice. This solution is tailored to my specific needs, but it can be adapted for various applications. Feel free to modify it according to your requirements. If you have other ideas for a Google Max adapter, I can share the necessary geometry to fit the friction-fit holes.
