A speaker apparatus includes a speaker unit, a passive radiator unit, and
a front baffle on which the speaker unit and the passive radiator unit
are mounted to form a portion of a speaker box and a back plate. A closed
front chamber is formed by the front baffle for coupling the sound output
generated from the back of the speaker unit with the passive radiator
unit. A closed rear chamber is formed by the front baffle and the back
plate for confining sound output generated from the front of the speaker
unit. The speaker unit is disposed in a direction opposite to the
direction of passive radiator unit, or in a direction approximately
opposite.
