Your niece is a very lucky girl. I hope she appreciates it as much as it deserves.
That is, without a doubt, one of the best speakers builds on RUclips. You have a very professional attitude to this project, well done.
Thanks!
As an amateur speaker builder myself, I can't get over these builds. Well done. Makes me want to challenge myself more.
Thanks Shaun!
This is so well built, incredible job man!
a lot of work spent on this video. amazing
You my friend are an artist, great work!
That sad moment when Instagram decides to change their icon...
i would like to say as a fellow south African you do amazing work
i have recently started doing sound as well and the work you do inspires me please keep up the amazing work and i hope to be as talented as you one day ..
Thanks! Keep going.
Wow, looks great! Looking forward to the final part!
If I ever do something like this by myself, I will consider myself a better person.
man i love your speakers great job
Great job there Sir.
Thanks!
You are awesome man. Very good job, very professional. I just found out about your channel and already subscribed.
That's pretty cool
Dude, freakin awesome. Well done sir.
Thanks
This is so creative and looks really nice.
Finally i get to know, what an acoustic lens is. ;-)
This is so cool!! Keep doing this!!
nice! you should throw some batteries in to make it portable, its just two cables more to connect (using a BMS) and it would be of a lot more use!
Man you inspire me and I did a little bluetooth speaker you did one little like 10watts and and I got that idea thank you for shearing your knowledge
Pleasure
Wel gedaan! Super awesome. Uit die boonste rakke :-) Nie net jou werk nie maar jou video kwaliteid is net so goed hoop daar kom nog baie.
Baie dankie, dis lekker om so bietjie Afrikaans te kan praat hier op RUclips!
you deserve so much more subs! great work, it's really inspiring to see someone so creative.
+maurits schoonderwaldt yes, he deserve lots of more subwoofers hahahaha
Amazing work, great idea!
Thanks
Uitstekende werk ou maat!!! Baie goeie video en 'n great speaker!!
Dankie!
Great videos! Any chance you could put a video together of all the necessary wiring? More detailed of the wiring part? How would you wire in a rechargeable battery instead of needing a power cord..? And where could you wire in internal LED lighting...
These videos are not really intended to be instructional. So right now I don't have any diagrams available and unfortunately don't have the time to put something together. But I will plan a future build that will come with plans. Can't say when that'll be though...
Wiring for these things are however rather straight forward, and by following the diagram that comes with the amplifier module that you use, you really can't go wrong. If that still is not helpful, I suggest that you try to go on to one of the Hifi Forums online where someone will definitely be able to assist.
+SoundBlab awesome! ty sir!
you are very fast worker :-)
wow that's amazing
Thanks
Great video, thank you.
Subscribed man, I love your projects! Keep up the work :)
I really love your work, I've viewed your links on the amp and powersupply but you don't mention what speakers you use, can you please put some links to a few speakers you have tested and like. I'm also going to make a large 2.1 speaker box so it all helps. thanks
Thanks. The drivers used in this build are all salvaged units. I suggest to look at this build did. There are links in the description to parts that are similar to what I used here. ruclips.net/video/QxiXnPAq2tQ/видео.html
that' very nicely done... great work with awesome idea... can you just tell me the electric work... m bit confuse about that...
I think I should probably do a video on that soon.
new subscriber, i love and I've watched all your videos.
Awesome, thanks for the support!
Molto bello bravo
Grazie!
Quick question actually. Do you encounter any issues with Groundloop from your BT + Amp board? As in unwanted weird noises when it's idling/at low volume?
+Barry Llewellyn YT The board I am using has both bluetooth and amp all integrated and produces no noise. I do believe that separate bluetooth and amp modules can cause noise. A ground loop isolator would normally solve this problem, or run both modules off its own power supply.
+SoundBlab When I was making a bluetooth battery (12v Lead Acid) powered boombox I did ran into this issue. Little signal level ground loop isolators are relatively cheap tho when you get them from china, you can get them for like ~€3,50.
+foorje Thanks for the reply guys. It's ok, I'm well familiar with ground loop isolation, was just curious about whether it was a problem with this board or not :)
+Barry Llewellyn YT
It seems from what I've gathered that the chinese do know their shit when you buy these all in one boards, yeah.
How do you like this amplifier board? Trying to choose between this and a few others.
It's a good board. I have a test and comparison video on my channel.
Do you always calculate the enclosure volume and resonator-port-length to the corresponding loudspeaker chassis you put in?
Yes, otherwise the outcome is just a guess and you can end up with a system that does not sound optimal. Sealed enclosures are far more forgiving, but ported enclosures can either sound lean or boomy when not tuned precisely.
Can you buy all the technick stuff (speakers, amp) in a set, that you only have to build a chest and conect the wires.
+Max Roskam Unfortunately not. Speakers were salvaged from an old sound system, and other parts were bought from eBay or local shops in my city.
HA, try doing it now with all the colours !
tip. maybe you can make the powercord underneeth it so you can hang it on the wall
nice
i have a question, does your power supply have an output power of 200W since your amp has a max output of (2x 50W +100W) 200W.
+Thomas Jongsma No, the two are not entirely directly related. The 200W is what the amplifier can produce as music output with a load (speaker resistance) of 4 Omhs. In order to produce that output effectively (not under strain) the amplifier power supply must be able to produce 4.5Amps of current at 24V. This gives 108W that the power supply can produce so that the amp can deliver 200W of music power. This is a very simple explanation, but hope it helps.
Could you give info as to which speakers you are using..? Looks like something from a B&O MX6000 television...
All salvaged from old broken nondescript sound systems. I will be looking at designing and building something in the future that can be replicated with plans and parts of the shelf, but have no timing on that right now.
dont stop uploading now, because then will subscribe . aim for one video aweek
It´s ok to leave eletronics with subwoofer cabinet?
If you have a vented or ported enclosure its fine.
Would you consider making more to sell? I'd buy one most definitely.
For now this is a once-off build.
beautiful
what is that white fabric you used on it
Its just a random fabric that I got form my local fabric shop. It had the right colour and texture I was looking for.
Cool
Tx
Friend can you Share what Subwoofer Driver size is this????how is a sound quality from your personal persfective????
What was the name and artist of the song that was playing when you were applying white paint to the sides/front and putting the white fabric around the edges?
Pianochocolate - Everyone will come back home
Thanks!
This is so fvcking awesome! Im an IG addict and that's why u earned my sub! :D
Hi there, my grandson wants to know how much it cost you to make this?
That is honestly to difficult to say. Most of the parts have been salvaged from an old system and the wood comes from my workshop with only some parts having been CNC cut. The amplifier and power supply was purchased. But if counting only the parts I paid for it was between US$100 and US$150.
cara suas caixas são foda
how did you cut the insta logo and what filler did you use
Insta logo was laser cut. The filler is car body filler with hardener.
hola.
Estoy enamorado de este trabajo y me encantaría poder hacerlo. es posible obtener información planos (medidas exactas) altavoces utilizados, etc..?
He visto que vendes planos de otros proyectos y me encantaría pagarte por los planos de este proyecto.
un saludo y muchas felicidades por el vídeo, es genial....
Thank you! I am unfortunately not planning on doing plans for this particular build, but I am going to do a lot more projects with build plans in the future.
SoundBlab las medidas por favor
Where did you get the speakers from?
It was salvaged from an old sound system.
Dahora demais...
your niece might like it,now ever the parents might not.
whats the power output rating on the amp?
50Wx2 + 100Wx1 Max (it varies depending on the load - 3-8Ohm load)
SoundBlab so the RMS should be about 25w x2 and 50w x1
Theoretically yes.
Well now its "out of date"
+TheWickedOnes True, but with the new icon it just became double retro. How cool is that? ;-)
If i was you, I would have put plexiglass in the place of the 4 plywood pieces and make the interior light up
The intention was for something that's not too bling, but if that's your thing, sure.
SoundBlab Yeah, ive already made 1 speaker with a plexiglass side, and im thinking about putting it on the one im building right now. That one didnt have any leds drilled and glued in it to make it shine, but as the box of the speaker that im building right now has 1 of the sides sliding, i might put some in this one.
Thats sounds very cool. Good luck with your build!
SoundBlab Thanks!
are you laso going to build a portable speaker
+Stijn Van Aken It is on my list of future projects, but I can not say when it will happen.
+SoundBlab would it be a 2.1
+SoundBlab please make than a 2.1 portable speaker
im a lot shocked that you covered all your wood work, " REALLY " could of looked good with painted colours and stane, i guess im just used to seeing my dad's wood work and all his details, shame you couldnt share it here. but over all, looks good i guess.
Thanks. The idea was to re-create the Insta icon as close as possible. The fabric and vinyl provides the closest in material use and texture that represents the icon accurately. With paint and stain it would be so much more difficult to mimic. This is also not really a woodworking project that calls for intricate details. Hope that helps you understand my choices in this project :)
Nice & Gay
