This step shows how I built transmission line System. Here I am designed like, to get different medium level acoustic sound within the cardboard chamber, the walls of the each passage is finished with 270GSM black chart sheets, so that walls of passage became more solid to reduce absorption of sound.

This is final output of the cardboard home theater system. The upper portion is modified with 270GSM black chart paper, and grils are painted with black water colour.

When I tested this the acoustic sound has not come as I assumed but can feel the slight acoustic audio output, It gives different sounds, I liked it .

Thank You :-)
