Here are a few sketches I’ve been working on to explore some of the details. I started thinking about how the back of the speaker should look and wanted to arrange the ports in a logical way. Making the power button biggest and easy to find was most important and I put the AUX in port at the bottom so that the cord would be closest to the table when plugged in and in “stereo” mode.
I also worked on trying to explore different ways the speakers would interface together to allow for charging in “mono” mode. Both speakers will need batteries but it would be great to charge both of them by plugging in only one cord. I was thinking of using pogo pins to be able to electrically connect both batteries on the inside faces of the bottom TPU rubber grips. The bottom of each speaker half would have magnets embedded to make them easy to detach and connect.
