Welcome to 3SB Audio

Welcome to 3SB Audio ("3SB").

3SB began as the audio podcast "Three Sad Bastards". Late 2019, three friends - Aris, John and Trevor, started a podcast series, mostly for kicks, but then as a way to stay sane and connected during the massive lockdowns we experienced in Melbourne in 2020.

In the last episode of Season 2, the Sad Bastards asked "How hard could it be to design a good speaker".

As it turned out, it was really easy for John and Trevor, as they didn't really get that involved in the what turned out to be massive exercise in learning, researching, modelling, prototyping and designing and building a loudspeaker system. 

The careful reader will notice the first instance of scope creep. The "loudspeaker" has been extended to a "loudspeaker system". 

This website is, or will be by the time it's completed, a step by step historical story of the design and build of this loudspeaker system.

The objective will be to provide the reasoning and collateral for someone to be able to build this loudspeaker system for themselves, for personal use, or to find the information presented useful in general.

There is absolutely no guarantee that the information here is fit for any purpose, you have to judge for yourself how feasible and viable the material presented here is for you. Use at own risk, you get the idea.
