      In this video, they explain that the bandpass port for letting air out of typically the back of speakers is essential for acoustic transmission including bass; and they made an anechoic chamber. "World's Second Best Speakers!" this video TechIngedients also has a video about attaching $6 bass kickers to XPS foam to make flat panel speakers about as good as expensive bookshelf speakers.

      What sort are you thinking about building? I keep toying with building either the flat panel speakers made out of foam-core board from Tech Ingredients on YouTube, or the big giant speakers he made. [LINK] this video edited: Thought DIY Perks did the big speakers, found them on Tech Ingredients.
