My other hobby for years surfaced today… speaker building, listening, tweaking, listening, tweaking, enjoying! Multimedia speakers can be great for upgrading, to be used in an office or bedroom for near-field listening. This Logitech X-240 had a very noisy volume control where the satellites would completely cut out so I checked to see if the bass module could work on its own and maybe, connect it to other, separately amplified satellite speakers. It turned out it could. Then, what about a woofer upgrade? Hmm, I had this JBL 4" separates set sitting in the garage and so, verifying that the impedance was the same as the stock driver, I went ahead with the swap. With the JBL’s butyl surrounds, the bass is tighter but with that, I lost a little warmth in the sound. I messed with some audio settings to tune it more to my liking and then I conducted a frequency sweep where the bass became audible at approximately 40Hz. It doesn’t take more than 10 watts per channel to have an enjoyable ‘micro system’ and combined with a blue tooth module, every genre of music is available.
