First I designed the speaker enclosure using the Freecad software and then printed it with my Ender 3 3D printer.
Please find the attached STL file of the enclosure (only use it as a reference).

Next mount two 3.5mm stereo jacks. The first jack is used for Audio input and the second jack is used to connect the second speaker
