Start from a blank workpiece
Start with a blank workpiece in the real Easel editor. Add a square, change it to an 8-by-6-inch rectangle and choose an outside outline cut. Add two circles, set their sizes and positions, then give them a depth that reaches through the stock. The 3D preview shows the openings. The 3-inch and 1-inch circles demonstrate the controls, not dimensions for a particular speaker. Use the mounting drawings for your own drivers before sizing the holes. This is a front-panel layout, not an acoustic enclosure plan or a cutting setup.

A small desk speaker and a pair of workshop speakers need different cases. These builds show layered shapes and flat panels. The shared files cover woodworking parts; speaker drivers, wiring and assembly are separate.
Bluetooth Speaker with Wireless Chargerby Joseph Van BeckumVan Beckum combines cherry and maple in a compact desk speaker with a charging surface on top. Six shared workpieces include the middle ring, top, charger pocket, decorative waves, bottom pocket and cover. The front speaker opening and complete assembly are separate work shown in his build video. Follow that build alongside the shared parts rather than treating the file as a complete box plan.
Jeep Bluetooth Speakerby jacy armbrusterA wide front with two round speakers gives this plywood build its vehicle-inspired shape. The shared design has four workpieces for the front, rear, an open-center layer and decorative grille carving. The saved layers use different stock thicknesses, so match each piece to its material. The maker's linked build video covers the electronics and assembly.
Overnight Sensationsby Tait LeswingLeswing's birch-plywood cases house Paul Carmody's Overnight Sensations bookshelf speakers. The shared half-inch-stock layout contains box panels, joining recesses and two driver openings for one enclosure. Make a second set for a pair. Use the original speaker design for drivers and crossover details; those electronics and their assembly are not supplied by the Easel file.
Cathedral Internet Radioby Nick BrewerBrewer puts speakers, a Raspberry Pi and an amplifier inside an arched walnut-and-plywood case. The shared design supplies the decorative front, display opening and control holes. Design the back and plywood ribs separately; his construction notes describe how the case is assembled. The electronics and software are a separate part of this more involved build.

David Burrell saw a 3D-printed subwoofer enclosure and redesigned it as slices for the X-Carve. That offers a different construction approach from the rectangular panels above: flat layers can form a curved case when stacked. His project page links to a build video and materials. The shared preview contains imported machining code, not editable slice outlines, so use the build as a construction reference rather than a ready-to-resize design.
