Loudspeaker enclosure

A loudspeaker enclosure or loudspeaker cabinet is an enclosure in which speaker drivers and associated electronic hardware, such as crossover circuits and, in some cases, amplifiers, are mounted. Enclosures may range in design from simple, rectangular particle-board boxes to very complex cabinets that incorporate composite materials, internal baffles, horns, ports and acoustic insulation. Loudspeaker enclosures range in size from small "bookshelf" speaker cabinets designed for listening to music with a hi-fi system in a private home to huge, heavy subwoofer enclosures with multiple 18" speakers designed for use in sound reinforcement systems.
