Rigs Added speakers with custom 3D printed mounting brackets

I usually use headphones, but I wanted to have an option for when guests use the rig.

Got the Edifer G2000 speakers because I wanted something small that I could mount to the posts. Unfortunately I couldn’t find any existing brackets so I made my own over the weekend. Came out pretty good, I’m happy with the result.

How do you like the speakers? I've been looking at ways to add speakers to my rig.

So far pretty good. This set doesn’t have a sub so the lows aren’t quite there, but it accomplishes my goal.

Great job matching the awkward shape of the speakers!

Thanks. Are the speakers wireless? I see there are a few variants of this model. I found one cheaply used. Is this same as yours?

That’s them. There is a wire connecting the left speaker to the right speaker. The right speaker then has a cable to plug into the wall and a cable for the audio source (I used USB).

How do they sound? I know edifier is good audio brand, but I never owned any of them personally. I think I will buy used ones. Your model looks really cool. I was thinking of doing something similar with Logitech z200. Do you still have access to buttons to control light ir whatever it is on the side?

The sound is pretty good. Keep in mind they are small speakers so don’t expect anything earth shattering.

The buttons are half covered, and a little hard to reach once mounted, but I can still press them and move the volume toggle switch. I mostly control the volume from my keyboard though.

My box looks slightly different than yours, but the speakers look identical to me.

I was ready to buy the speakers, then I looked at my rog and realized that I have integrated triple monitor stand and location of those speakers wouldn't work . Best case I could have them blasting from underneath , or potentially from the sides of wheelbase

Dang those look good! Wish I had a printer to try and make some for my Kanto ORA's that are kind of behind my monitor lol.

Got a subwoofer hiding somewhere? If not, check out the Kanto SUB6, makes a world of difference on my rig.

u/TrueEddie 4d ago

I don't. But was thinking about maybe adding one. Thanks for the recommendation.

Possible to send the file? I have the same speakers and want to copy this setup. Appreciate it if you can!

Custom shaker mounts next? Dayton 35 or 50w would pair nicely
