Making New Speaker Cases
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 авг 2024
- Me and Kirby from Kirby Meet Audio decided to make a project inspired on each other's work and this is my take on making new cases for my old computer 2.1 speakers. Kirby has fantastic audio related builds and you can even get plans and kits to make your own speakers. Check him out! Very inspirational.
Coloured MDF-like material used in this project is called Valchromat.
Black foam sheet I cut circles of with a circle cutter is called EVA Foam.

Wow, I can't believe how fast these 7 minutes passed. You are incredible! Great cinematography and great project!
Nice job. Just one remark - it's a good to tie the knot on the cable inside the box. It's a quite good and easy protection against pulling cable.
Awesome craftsmanship! You used a few methods that I hadn't thought of that I can now add to my bag of tricks, so thank you! Luckily I have one trick in return for you. When you're using a hole saw, it stops cutting because the gullets in the saw fill up. To effectively clear the chips that fill up the gullets so you don't have to flip your workpiece midway, you can drill some holes around the circumference of the hole before using the hole saw, and voilla! your chips will fall through the holes, and your hole saw wont clog anymore
Loved the quack quack at 2:18 hahaha
Have been away from technology, came back to collection of get hands dirty!!!! Love your t-shirt video, Love them all. Great inspiration for not only wood work but ethos of life. Keep it up, Please!!
Someone say hello at 02:18 😂😂😂
Nice tool 👍
Looks like they came out well. But just for future reference, when gluing up the boxes, it is best to leave the speakers out. As the glue cures, it can release gases that are damaging to the speakers. You should give it 24 hours after gluing to put the speakers in.
Nice build, especially when you think they are made from composite materials that most think of as rubbish. the contrast is great.
That's dope! I hate to think of all the old speakers I've tossed out!
I love your push block. That's hilarious.
I didn't expect a lot she I saw the topic. Most people just build a box - but you took the time mount the speakers correctly and add some foam to the inside. Well done!
I love the look of that gray mdf almost like stone
The speakers are awesome. Your swan did a good job.
That swan really knows how to use the saw. :-D
metaspencer this is my first video I have seen and why the hell is there a swan
the swan is a feature of her style, I think
Too good. Very inspiring. This called art of making. Kudos, all the best wishes.
I love the colored MDF. Never liked it as a material for finished pieces, but this makes the speakers look so soft and touchable!
Ignaz Kevenaar it isn't MDF, is a material called Valchromat.
It's compressed wood fibre material. A lot of sites list it as MDF. It even says so right in the description it is "MDF-like material". I don't really get your point here. Since Googling "colored MDF" gives me about the same results :P
It looks like MDF but its name is Valchromat. Google Valchromat and you will find all about it. Is way better, more resistant and higher quality than MDf.
Your goose pusher is great ! (Not to mention the rest obviously)
Like the duck stock pusher. It quacks me up!
Awesome project! It gives the speakers a new "life". A tip, make a knot with the cable on the inside of the case so that if you pull the cable from outside it will not pull from the soldering points.
I am super impressed with Your camera skills. Both your time laps and your videos looks amazing, i love how you use your Focus to hi-ligt things.
she would have liked your comment if you had talked about her swan......lol
I like your work Christiana, very cool design! Thanks.
Great attention to detail. Painting the speakers makes a huge difference. Beautiful editing too.
I LOVE your push stick!
I watched this video by chance, then I watched your all previous videos. Your work is magical.
Great design! Loved the way they look! Building speaker boxes for car stereo's back in high school is where I started my woodworking.
Love the two tone look
The quality and craftsmanship of your work is impressive
I usually don't like MDF but the two colors works really well together and in your homeplace ! Great job !
Yaaaaass!!! Best colaboration!!!
SUPER COOL , i love it . you should've done some small holes for the basse if there is any !
hey, they look soo good, and those colors are nice, match all your projects now!
Most amazing and easy way of making speaker very nice workflow.😊😊
That wood is such an awesome material. Seeing the grey for the speakers makes me want to make some with concrete now too.
Your workshop is getting much cooler and cooler every video!
they look absolutely awesome!
Such a time taking process
Another beautiful project. Congrats.
A real improvement for these speakers :-)
I like the blend of colors of the materials you choose for this project.
Nice work down there!
thats crazy, when I saw the picture I though it was a kirby video... then I saw it was your channel. NICE JOB.
Yes me too! Great job!!!
+1
check my channel guys
Well, just wanted to mention that. Following both channels.
Hehe :) cool
Wow, That's amazing, I've watched mostly speaker build videos but here some thing is changed than others
Thumz up to the way of your DIY .
that deserves a fist bump!
YOUR DRAWING COMPASS IS AMAZINGGG
Nice! Good to see a different take on the Kirby Meets Audio speaker builds!
Wow!!!... :-)
You are a real industrial designer! Amazing work! Project, with a warm approach to sound!)))
Nice clean cut speakers 👍great job and another great video
They look great. Nice choice for the wood (color & texture)!
Very nice... that MDF stuff looks great... and that circle cutter is pretty rad 🤓👍🏼
beautiful and clean lines.
Really nice. And loved your fearless ducky. :)
Awesome work. I really like how those old fashioned desk speakers turn out into a beautiful pieces for your enjoyment. I even like more this color MDF.
Thanks very much my friend! I think they look much better and still sound very very good :)
I'm sure they are because you improved the enclosure with the isolation and I'm also sure MDF is quite better acoustically versus plastic. Regards!
thanks for posting. some thoughts. when remounting speakers, it's a good idea to determine whether the old enclosure was a sealed or ported design. it's possible that, when mounted in a sealed enclosure, speakers with a rolledge surround will 'ring'. or it may be fine. one thing that's not fine is the circular speaker mounting gasket.
the gasket should have 'ears' that include the area of the mounting tabs. without ears, the speaker frame shape can distort when mounting screws are tightened. cheers
The best collaboration on RUclips ever.
I am not one to post a comment publicly on RUclips, but once I viewed your approach on Kirby's plans it was like internationally DYI on a new platform.
Your creative skills are 2nd to none and the details that you put on all of your videos with each build are just incredible. Kirby and his knowledge base on speakers, it's a matter of time that some youtubers content provders started this cross sharing and maximizing on this RUclips Platform.
Keep it up and before long Bose and Boston Acoustic will be out of business because together you both have leveled the global paying field. I know they are watching these videos too. They will have to shift their global strategy with their ambiguous conventions and how they are able to sell $900 speakers that only cost $60 to build ...
when it comes so audio that is done right, no one wants cheap speakers.
We want quality. so now it will be how can you make these builds on a dime an put them on amazon so that I can order them.
Bravo, great video and great post.
I am looking forward towards your next creative post.
wow, amazing. I like all your projects, but the combination of woodwork and audio are specially interesting for me.
I admire too much the neatness with which you work in every project, always impeccable, always well done, many congratulations for who you are
WOW! You are so talented and inspirational. I've been wanting to turn my old pc speakers into a wood boombox for the garage. I need to save for better tools and give this a shot. Thank you!
great job, i love the design, that MDF looks just like concrete.
it's not quite MDF. similar. It's called Valchromat.
i stand corrected :), and still a great job :)
This is a beautiful work of art.
i wish i had as much tools and machines as u, and ur skill 🙂
Valchromat colours works so well on these speakers - and so happy you're still using the swan push stick! :)
Thank you Savvas :) Yes, I love the swan!
Your work and your videos are so beautiful they should be lasting more than an hour!!!
I found your channel just recently and I am very amazed b all the projects you do and the creativity what is in. I also like the way you make and cut your videos. Looking forward to your next videos.
Wow, thank you. I've been looking for videos about this for a long time!
these speakers look much better now! Nice job!
Awesome! These turned out great, way better than the old plastic covers :D
Well done. Beautifully build.
Just comment to say your swan push stick is amazing
Very clean work! Rob
LOVE HOW NEAT YOU ARE!! a lot of passion in your work, nice one
Now they came out awesome 👌 Love the look of the grey mdf, I've never seen that before (and the contrast between the two colours works really well too). The circle cutter looks a handy little tool, i need to find one of those. Thanks!
Thanks Pask :) this is called Valchromat. I used grey and yellow also - it is different from brown colored regular mdf.
You can see the contrast when the yellow sheet is at the table saw - the insert plate is regular mdf :p
Yes it's obvious now that you point it out - looks really nice!
Oh God, this is one of the more beautiful speakers that i ever see! Great work!
great build. So Clean!
Wait, what ?! Two of my favorites maker doing a colab ?! Oh boy !
The swan is back!!! :D
Been a subscriber of Kirby’s for a while. Great build. You’ve got a new subscriber now! 🙌🏼
you are VERY good at what you are doing :) hope to see more.
Nice to know that all you need is a FULL SHOP OF TOOLS :p
Oh, and swans are assholes..
Seriously, they`re worse than geese..
So gentle so beautiful..
Awesome collaboration, my favourite material, Ive got some old speakers, going to give this a go. thanks for sharing.Happy Easter. :-)
They look awesome
Wow that must be the most awesome MDF I have ever seen speakers look damn nice well done :) 10 points from one Portuguese to another
NickDG it's Valchromat
hey! lovely job, and your beautiful video work is a joy to watch. the Valchromat is a great material and the speakers look soooooo much better, it was really worth it!
Good looking speakers
It is not very usual to see diy channels with women which makes your channel unique
even better, it is that you're really close.

Darbin Orvar, April Wilkerson, Laura Kampf. You can find more if you really want to.
Awesome Build! I've been enjoying your content very much!! Keep up the great work.
That's proper slick
Looks very nice ... like the Color of the wood... 👍🏽
It's called Valchromat
Thx ...
You shouldn't paint speaker drivers, because you change their performance, but those were not good to start with, so they probably won't sound much different. The new enclosures look very nice.
Parabéns, Cris. Trabalho excelente. Um abraço do Brasil. =)
Very good job I love how do you make every detail.
Good stuff Chris!!
Feeling so much satisfied while watching ur video
Very simple, practical and beautiful! Congratulations!
да уж с такими инструментами и станками грех не заниматься творчеством. Молодец.
Awesome work Cris!! Love the details and colors conbination. :)
Why wouldn't you put some strain relief on the wires, something like a simple knot on the inside so you dont just rip out the wires easily
or any type of seal on the back panel for that matter lol
Looks excellent!!!!
Congratulations, a very nice job..
nice, I do that a long time ago... mine got Cedar case, and pine front and back. lill woofer in the bottom.
cool... hi i an from peru but now i living in japan this video for me ia a good idea for upgrade my speakers
i subscribed thank you
I love the material you use I must try to find a supplier here in the UK, great work as always 👍🏻
This are very pretty speakers. .... and i love your swan-Push-stick ;)
Nice upgrade.
