Nice to watch this build. I like that you use 8’s. Wish to have seen you use a Purifi woofer. But perhaps not what you had on the menu. Thanks for a build video that shows what it truly takes to do things well and correct. One needs a workshop with the necessary power tools to make the build come out the way it did. The screws for the driver? I guess that would be enough. I thought about wetting the holes with water and then using urethane glue for penetration into the surrounding wood. Then re drill and set the screws. Just a thought. You could build my cabinets any time sir.

Ask and you deliver : ) So stoked you are building these. Love the idea of comparing the drivers too. Which one will impress the most?

cordless drill addiction ?

10 seconds in and stoked to watch this !

Just please!!! talk normal. Lose the aaaaaaaaaaalright guysssssssss talk

This is Awesome!!! Thank you for sharing! 👍👍👍

Thanks my friend. I'm waiting for the other designs maybe I'll like one better.

I like that shirt you wear.

I enjoy your stuff, but what are you on?

Get a good 5-6" FR driver and mount it open, on top of the box and a strong woofer in the box (with a 5.6 mh inductor on the woofer). You need a sensitive woofer to keep up with the FR. Use a filter on the open FR driver if you like, but it will work surprisingly well without one. For trial, mount the FR driver on top of the box with a heap of Blue Tack (easy) and tilt the open driver back by about 20 degrees. Sounds come from nowhere, you might hear people talking in your room, momentarily thinkng it's somebody in the room, but it's from the speakers. This happens to me occasionally. I heard a low flying jet over our house and I thought it was real and I even looked out the window, it was the speakers, fooling me even when like a meter from them (looking out the window). 😂 My friend was fumbling with his phone and couldn't get it to stop beeping, till he realised it was the speakers (3 meters away). This sort of deception happens cos the speakers are point source and dipole, a deadly combination for imaging on steroids. 🎉

My favourite home built speakers consist of an open 10" coaxial "PA" driver on top of the box and a fat 10" woofer in the box. With cutouts on the 10" PA driver to make it breathe and make it less SHOUTY. 😂 It's dipole and point source (a deadly combination for imaging) with tons of punchy bass from the woofer. Sounds come from nowhere! 🎉 I also have a 5" open horn (like an acoustic lens) on the 10" open coaxial driver (and a 1" air gap between the driver and horn). I like the sound more with them on (improving imaging) but not louder, just sounds a bit different. The open horns are made of wood and they look good too, better than the stark open driver. 😂 I also build speakers with an open FR plus woofer. 🎉

This speaker is almost perfect, make a smarter box, connect SE tube amp with a large output transformer and everything will fall into place.

Nice job! Very cool design and beautiful work on the cabinets! Your videos are always entertaining and very informative. Thanks for sharing!

Yeah !! You're back !!

Wish you would actually play something in these videos. No, I wouldn't get a proper impression but I would still get an idea of the sound. Charts aren't fun.

Hey. Nice to see you again 👍🏽👋🏽

Beautiful build, I built basically the same speakers for my daughters 24th birthday last year but I rounded the edges and gave them a high gloss paintjob in candy purple and added tweeters and filters to tune out the low end a bit.

New Sonnora Designs video??? Today IS the best day ever. Great to see you back. I love your videos and the positive vibes! Best build content for sure. Best of luck to you my man in 2025

Even if You don't interested audio these videos are so excited and positive,everyone should watch!

Sonora is back!

Welcome back Bernardo! Always enjoy your videos! I was thinking of a single driver as my next project, you read my mind!

OMG .....Bernardo is back, so nice mate.

Best day ever!

My favorite guy is back!!!!!!!!!

It's great to see you again! And thanks for the new designs!

Great choice of music accompaniment

I'm really glad to see you back with interesting content. I think we were all worrying for you but it seems like all is well on your side. We missed the sun you bring here in Eastern Canada. Let's hope your new installations will serve you even better. Best wishes for you and your dear ones for the year to come!

Love your videos and build quality. Very niche, but my niches as well. I built these same speakers based off the Lii Audio plans on their website. I also found them to be very treble focused and lacking in the bass. Luckily have some eq ability and an excellent subwoofer. That said, I change my speakers and cabinets frequently based off the music and amp choice. I found these speakers to be exceptional for vocal and jazz. Anything else sounds lacking. Also for reference I built a larger transmission line speaker cabinet with polyfill adjustability and have been swapping out the following 8in speakers: tang band, lii, fostex, and the audio nirvana. I can hands down say that the Fostex have the best clarity and the tang band sound the best all around in my listening space. I wish this video with all the speakers and cabinets came out last year when I was doing all this building to help for reference.

What a pleasant surprise... really good to have you back here.. great choice for an interesting build 😄

I've been worried about your long absence. Glad to see you back. And 8 inch is my favorite size for a full range speaker. I'm very excited!

I think that Mark Audio is a mid woofer. the 12p is full range, the 12pw is a mid driver. i've read that they still sound good as a full range though, rolling off a bit around 10k. The graphs don't look very different though.

I'm going to love this series. My next build is going to be with the Tang Band W8-2145. I've seen vids of their more expensive driver (W8-1808) but never that one. Even though that driver is not on your list I'm excited to see the possibilities for these full range 8 in drivers. Most all of the 8 in. full range I've seen have similar volumes needed so i can probably adjust one of your ideas using a custom filter.

Best day now it is! My favorite simple diy stuff 😜

Great!! Other affordable ones to try: Taramps FH 80 D Monacor SPM-200X/4 Wild Burro Betsy Goldwood GW-8003/8 Dayton Audio PS220-8 Visaton BG20-8
