Definitively more boom-y. Guess it needs an eclosure to shine.
How tf do you design an OK speaker enclosure?

That must do :D
If you have the Thiele-Small parameters of the speaker, you can calculate the right volume.
But in this case, it probably will not be very critical 😂
I'd go with something with more rigid walls though 😉
What material would you recommend? I suppose 3D printer PLA is not a great option?
As to size, there is a very basic test to confirm a speaker is properly damped. Just connect a small (e.g. 1.5V) battery with a switch. You should hear a click and not a thumb on both connect and disconnect.
The thump indicates the speaker resonating, making a sound which is not present in the source audio material.
For this small thing, 1L enclosure is probably plenty 😉
What is the project you have it connected to?
It's a self designed ESP32-S3 board, plus a MAX98357A i2s class D amp. Board runs my custom framework + mini test app on top of ESP-IDF to playback a short MP3 plus poti volume control. Supposed to be an offline Toniebox replacement some day.
Perfect for the kid's audio books!
If I actually research how to build a proper basic speaker enclosure, I think this thing will be good! Possibly better than whatever the Toniebox has.
I've also ordered a bunch of 4 Ohm Visatone speakers. We'll see if that makes a difference.
(not going to stick with cardboard, just ideation)
I hate the tilting and smacking. Dedicated forward/backward buttons it is.
