I'm thinking of doing a shelf cd player instead of going the soundbar method for my tv. Is it a bad idea to build my own box and use the speakers front a setup stereo like that? I figured I could make a cleaner look by removing the speakers from the factory boxes and building my own. The problem is I would have no T/S parameters to go by so I would pretty much have to measure the original box and mimic the volume. For the mids and highs a sealed box would be no issue. But a lot of the systems come with a separate sub in its own box that is ported and it would be hard to mimic that box. I could make it sealed but wouldn't get the same bass response.
