Blog Post with Detail Electronics Explanation : craftedworksho... I built this rechargeable, battery-powered, portable Bluetooth boombox speaker using the Parts Express C-Note speaker kit plus their KAB amp board (links to all parts below). This was my first speaker build and I am honestly amazed at how awesome this thing sounds.

If it sounds anything like it looks, it must be amazing. Such an awesome project!
Trail Features thanks man!
My first job was soldering audio jacks for an entire summer so I got pretty good at it. I ended up working at that place for almost 10 years. I'd say you did a really good job for your first time soldering. Here are my two biggest tips: 1 - put a dab of solder on the tip of the gun before touching it to the wires. This helps transmit heat from the iron to the wire. You want the wires hot enough to melt the solder, otherwise you'll get a cold joint that could break or have lots of resistance. 2 - Use spring clamps to hold your parts. Just put them on their side and clamp the part in place.
Thanks for the tips!
I've watched bunches of videos like this, I built 7 boomboxes on my own and I can officially say that this is the best one I've ever seen, good job!
For more videos on speakers builds, can’t recommend Kirby Meets Audio enough!
Ashley Bennett for sure! I linked him in the video description and cards, he helped with the planning of this build.
Crafted Workshop Didn’t notice the link, kudos! Love his channel, apart from he never squats next to his finished builds 😂
Hah!
Very nice speaker build. But most of us don't have all the fancy tools to do this. I built one out of plywood and car stereo media player and car speakers. 12 volt LiFEPo4 battery and charger and sounds great , no foam inside and an vent hole on front panel. did I mention it sounds great. Lots of bass and good overall full range sound. I use it at work on my tool box. I may build a second one for home use or to replace the one at work and use that at home. will see.
DUDE!!!!!!!! Great project and she is Beautiful I’m heading to my shop now to take a set of 18yr old computer speakers my good friend Dave gave last week and do the same. Unbelievable that he has had them that long and they sound great. They come with a separate subwoofer.
This is soooo cool!!! I love the way it turned out and that walnut is just gorgeous! Excellent, Johnny!
Thanks Cris!
Build an amp for your Uke like this.
Double Dare Fan YES! Even if she just rebuilt the cabinet and swapped the components from her amp over, that’d be awesome.

This looks great!! The only addition I would do is to install a couple of 12v 8Ah batteries and charger so you can make it a portable great looking boombox! It will require some additional electronics to convert 110v to 12v, to measure charge and stop charging when full... but I think it would be totally worth it!
I use 18v power tool batteries in a reciver shoe, then step that down to 12v for a class 'D' amp.
Wow - Awesome. It's so refreshing to see a speaker build by a woodworker. Accuracy, detail and great looks.
Thanks a lot Danny!
You truly are a master craftsman. I haven't seen a craftsman like you since the New Yankee Workshop on PBS back in the 90s.
Thanks, Norm is my hero! Watched him with my dad growing up.
Great fun building three of these. Two went to my boys as Christmas gifts. The other is for my wife and me to use at lake side in the North Georgia mountains.
** dO It YoUrSelF ** with at least 100k worth of wood working tools...... :p
normal MEN have all little cheap tools in home or garage and lot lot more tools too. no expensive, ewer no 100K haha. normal need only some clamps ,i have 4 pcs cheap and no need more. tablesaw have ewery normal men in home, same hand router, and hand planer, all other can do diy in home workshop, planer frame, jointer, circle jigs, no need lot tools can made all same.
A lot of the tools in this are pure convenience. Almost all of these things can be done with hand tools.
@@farrit thats how i make mine. i sure as hell aint got all these fancy tools.
yeah, if i had my dads table top drill press, table saw, radial arm saw, and table jig saw. he spent over 1 g's and 5 years to collect. all i have are hand saws and hand tools.
@@abalczon im going to make a portable radio into an ammunition can. i can power it with a 20amp 12 v power supply and power jacks found on amazon.
Really clean. I liked the router fix for the hole.
Josh Desser thanks Josh!
Great project, looks awesome!!!! Can't get enough of your French cleat wall in the background. Best background of any RUclipsr maker I follow.
Jimmy z hah, thanks man! I love that wall, really the perfect background for a maker RUclipsr.
Super cool. Love that you adapted the kit to a boom box size. Impressive work.
Luke Dorny thanks Luke, definitely a fun project!
i have the C-Note kit on my table right now. The walnut was a great choice!
Shawn Trombley thanks Shawn, great kit for sure.
Nice to see someone who uses dampening material to improve sound. Also, that is a crazy cool shop. And, you have some sick skills. Beautiful build.
It's Shawn Spencer (James Roday- rodriguez) "I've heard it both ways"
Thanks for the tutorial bud. Keep up the good work!
I like how you used a crossover to better produce the low and high frequencies separately for a clearer and better soundstage audio output. The cabinet was also created flawlessly which is a nice combination for hifi audio.
Thanks! The boombox sounds amazing and the battery life really is phenomenal.
With all these fancy machines in that workshop, its almost not like a DIY. Takes the fun out of it.
But surely its well made.
My daughter and I build a set of c-notes. I recognized them in your thumbnail haha. That box must sound awesome, the c-notes are great. The only downside is that you're missing the great imaging these speakers have by putting them so close together.
Have Drone Will Travel that’s funny! And yea, it sounds great but I’m definitely not getting as much separation as keeping them separate.
I'm still blown away when I hear the c-note. That's the best sounding $100 you can spend I think. And this box, in walnut, it looks as good as it sounds.
Yup, the C-Notes are known for their incredible imaging (for the $$.) Almost a waste to use them in this application. I bet they still sound good. I do wonder if a cheaper set of drivers would work well in this boom box. Worth researching if I build one.
Dude how did you do a boombox video and not get at least one shot channeling your inner early 90's and have it on your shoulder?! Great project! Nice to see your progression on here from the early days. Keep it up!
Thanks a lot James!
Awesome build, Johnny! Curious to see how the walnut holds up with the vibration of the speakers. Keep us in the loop!
Matthew Hicks thanks, definitely will! I think it should be totally fine, Fender uses Pine on a ton of their amp cabinets and clearly that’s working for them.
Let me say... You are really impressed... Hah I am really impressed with the Bluetooth speakers that have been connected to batteries with a box that big and a sound loud enough to shatter a ear drum... Amazing project good luck.
Looks amazing Johnny .I'm pretty sure it sounds great too. That is something to be proud of
Franks DIY thanks a lot, it definitely sounds awesome!
Dang!!! Hope this is under the tree for your Mama this year. Love it!!!
😂
This is a top 3 video for me that you've put out. Great job, I want to build one now!
Jason Watts that’s awesome, thanks Jason! I really had fun building it.
Love watching how skillfully you put this awesome speaker project together. Great job!
Thanks a lot!
OUTSTANDING! Think I'll build one myself now. Thanx for the confidence.
Awesome, have fun!
Dang! Turned out so nicely Johnny! The walnut and heavy edge treatments really make it pop! Super modern looking.
Adrian Orozco thanks Adrian!
Great tip to flip the jointer faces!
Looking badass! Can't go wrong with choosing walnut... so gorgeous.
Thanks!
Such a dope project dude. Nice work on this! I’ve been wanting to make one for myself for a long time now.
Tennessee Builds thanks, go for it!
Looks great man! I’ve been wanting to build one like this for some time now! I’m very happy you went with walnut, it’s a beautiful wood that looks great for this type of thing!
Maybe my favorite project of yours to date. The Walnut looks so good and the round over bit turned out great too.
Thanks a lot!
Looks great! I like the sapwood at the bottom.
StudioJLT thanks, that worked out nicely!
Looks really good and sounds as good as it looks! Thanks!!
Steven Kofoed thanks Steven!
really loved that project. Greetings from Greece
Κωνσταντίνος Βλαχογιαννάτος thanks, that’s awesome!
Sweet project Johnny. I’ve had speakers on my build list for a while, feeling inspired now.
Craig Francis go for it, super rewarding build!
Parts Express is amazing. Awesome build.
James Foskey yup, they’ve got everything for this type of build, so many options! Thanks!
Nice build! The walnut is stunning and the build looks top notch!
Shaun Guthrie thanks Shaun!
Sees thumbnail: cool, I’m totally gonna build that!
Watches video: ain’t nobody (me) got time (or tools) for that! Great work though!
aemediainc Sounds like a blues song to me. I also agree, these guys do great work but they also have more tools and attachments than the average Joe (me) lol.
Wow! That speaker turned out beautiful!
Thanks!
Sir you are my fav youtuber😘
Very cool project Johnny!! It turned out looking great
JT Woodworks thanks!
Looks super awesome can’t Johnny. I love the heavy round over.
Mortgage & Mitre thanks!
Seth was right, very satisfying to watch!
Thanks man!
This one was worth the wait! Gorgeous speaker build Johnny!
Modustrial Maker thanks Mike!
WOW! Great idea and excellent execution, I love this!
Clint Strause thanks Clint!
Gorgeous case...great deal on kit, Parts-Express is out until mid-Jan. Speakers and Tweeters alone are $138
Yea it is a killer deal for sure, and they sound outstanding. Thanks!
Just beautiful
jaroslaw roczniak thanks!
This woodworking is remarkable, keep up the good work!
Great build Johnny! I'd love to bring a speaker like that to the beach, it looks awesome!
That’d be great!
I think this looks amazing!
red12287 thanks!
Nice job! Looks like a Klipsch meets Marshal vintage speaker!
Dan Conlan thanks!
Crafted Workshop do you mind telling me how much the speaker,amp,batteries cost?
Thanks, DC
Links to all of the parts are in the video description!
I have never seen this kind of speaker before, it's just amazing
Fantastic build, looks awesome!
Dinusha Chandratilleke thanks!
Man that turned out awesome!
John Miller thanks John!
Beautiful speaker
Thanks!
Get yourself a resaw king blade for your bandsaw. Lasts forever.
That turned out amazing!
Jess Peterson thanks Jess!
I might add some sort of speaker grill to protect those bad boys if you're really using it as a portable boombox.
Nah I would disagree ur clearly no educated on boom box components
Does the black plastic shell act as a protector? is that good enough? I honestly don't know much about it, was just going off of how it looked.
Carlos Perea yea I’ve definitely thought about it. Portable for me means taking it out on my patio when we’re hanging out there, not like going camping with it. In that case, a grill would definitely be a good idea.
Need to make a Bluetooth speaker so I can listen to some music in the workshop. Your boom box looks nice
That is an awesome build! Classic look with new tech. Great video, thanks!
Verry cool project! Great job!
Dutch shed woodshop thanks!
I'll just buy one
Alot of time for this one.
Crikey!!! If I only had that type of gear, I would quit my day job. Impressive work!!!
Nice and clean work borther
Thanks!
Today I managed to put the light switch in the middle...
lies!!!
Drinks and Finger Food gghhh
tom
Really cool Johnny! 👍🏻📻👊🏻
Fred McIntyre thanks Fred!
Fred McIntyre 🎵🎶
Nice done !!
The videos you make are very interesting. I need to learn a lot from you
How many incredible machines do you have?
Very simple if you have the tools you need
nice comb filter
That is gorgeous! Beautiful job!
just perfect build
Great job bo❤
Awesome job! I'm looking to do a similar design utilizing 2 Tang Band W5-1138SMF subwoofers.
That turned out sweet!! Love it.
I hear Baltic (Latvian) plywood, I upvote. Best plywood in the universe
most of the baltic birch plywood imported to germany is from russia.
Funny, I just started the same build. Thought I was being ingenious. Love the way yours turned you!
Thanks!
😎That is a sweet looking bomb box 📻🎶
Crafter Maker thanks!
Looks great!
Thanks!
That is very beautiful and elegant boombox!
What I not understood, was the trick for jointing the glue edges.
Any additonal explanations you can give, very appreciate. Thanks a lot.
Hey Sergio, go check out Jay’s video, he explains it really well! ruclips.net/video/amsBkAOXji4/видео.html
That looks great! 👍
Set the bad boy near a corner to get some serious bass! :)
Nice work, I never imagined I'd see so many amazing C-note builds! Or variations of... Lol
Thanks for sharing!
By the way, the ports on the bottom are no problem, lol.
Chris Perez thanks Chris! I just realized you designed the C-Note kit, that’s super cool. I bought the kit on a whim after hearing such great things on the r/diyaudio subreddit and they’ve been sitting, waiting to be built, for months. And glad to hear bottom ported is approved 😊
Hey Johnny and Chris... I built a pair of C-Notes last winter and love them--my first DIY speaker project. I've been thinking about exactly this type of project for awhile now. Any thoughts as to whether it would make sense to tweak the crossover for some baffle step correction for this configuration, considering the baffle is now twice as wide and both speakers are essentially on the same baffle? ...or would that be overkill for this purpose? Great job on the build Johnny! Chris thanks for giving us the C-Notes!
That looks awesome and hard to do.
Tony bp definitely challenging but worth the effort!
Just to be that guy.. To get better cuts on the cnc use 3d tabs. Experiment with what works best for you but mine are about 1.5 and .22 inches tall. That keeps the movement smooth so you don't get those marks were the bit stopped and went over the tab. I also use one of those vibration cutters to cut out the parts. If I use a chisel it might splinter out. Sorry.. I know i'm just one of many guys trying to tell you what to do.. lol Trust me, I got sick of sanding or trying to sand out those marks and that works really well.
No, those are great tips man! Easel doesn’t have 3D tabs, but I just got Aspire so I can start messing with them.
@@craftedworkshop I use vcarve pro. I'm pretty sure you'll have it in Aspire. That's a better version. All from the same company.
Also experiment with down cut bits. It leaves the top nice and clean. Not that great for the bottom.. but.. and don't drill with it, makes a nice cut. I do not like up cut bits.. Nothing but issues for me. Down cut or straight.
Would have been nice to see an in depth section dedicated to the power distribution. The first word in the description is BATTERY and yet you have nothing in the video indicating how you handled that.
Go check out the blog article. Detailed electronics info is a little dull for video, this amp board is modular and has readily available battery packs that can plug into it. Super simple.
Wonderfull project
Neil F thanks Neil!
Sir please update this blutooth speaker with attaches of Mattel grill infront of it.
Your shop is crazy! Good work
Thanks!
Good job man looks great
John Grech thanks John!
An amazing job, bordering on "over-engineering"!
However, for all your hard work, I just can't unsee that the speakers overlap each other! Aesthetically, there should be at least a quarter inch of viewable timber, separating the top speakers from the lower ones.
Just saying... 😉
The walnut makes it pop!
Have you considered using a bigger stop block for your miter gauge? Ha! Nice work on these speaks.
BruLew hah! Thanks man.
I own a mashall stanmore bluetooth but you made me jealous nice work
Vasek Kvíz that’s a nice speaker! You could rebuild the box out of wood, that’d be a fun project.
I could but im still studying carpentery and its a expensive toy so im afraid tgat im gonna break it😂😂
It's easy when you have so much tools..
