A second wall of the pair of dividing walls is positioned generally between the first wall and the top wall. A first compartment is defined between top wall and the first wall, a second compartment is defined between the first wall and the second wall, and a third compartment is defined between the second wall and the bottom portion. A plurality of tweeter speakers is mounted in the first compartment. A plurality of mid-range speakers is mounted in the second compartment. A base speaker is mounted in the third compartment.
