I thought as much. I'm surprised because they'd usuall say"bafles" or "altavoces" for this. Thanks to all for the help.

This was clasified in Spanish as a "caja de sonido" and then described as a "caja acústica". The English page just classifies it as a "speaker" however the Routledge entry says "baffle" (Baffle (Speaker system enclosure or referred to as Cabinet). I think I would opt for just "speaker system".
