An awesome built. I think you really put an effort and time in the design and the overall thought, deserve an award. Thank you for your inspirational work.
Thanks for your awesome guide. I just finished making a speaker for my mom using your instructions, and she's really happy with it. It sounds fantastic, and it's the first speaker I've ever built. While I found your instructions clear and easy to follow, I'd like to share a couple of tweaks I'd consider for future builds. My personal preference led me to choose an external mains power supply over incorporating two internal ones. I lacked confidence in managing both without potential issues. To tackle the ground loop challenge, I initially tried a DC-DC isolator (TDN 5-2411WI), but it fell short in reducing noise effectively. As a temporary fix, I used an external 5V PSU, though I plan to switch to the Arylic mono amp soon. The extra expense, in hindsight, doesn't justify the complications I faced. Another suggestion involves the 3D files for the project. Having access to these would have greatly simplified using various tools or crafting small jigs for easier construction. For instance, a simple 3D-printed jig could have eased the vent glue-up process, a step I found a bit challenging due to time constraints before Christmas. Including such helpful tools and jigs in your instructions could be a great addition for future builders. In the end, everything worked out great, and I'm definitely going to build another one of your projects. Cheers, Dorian
Glad this worked out for you in the end and that you enjoyed the process. I will take note of your suggestions. At the time Arylic did not have the right amps available, but I have been thinking of updating this project now that we have more options.
Fantastic build! I was looking at the Ikea/Sonos speaker and I like your build much better. This is a very attainable project with minimal tools, and I just do happen to have a lot of MDF of these thicknesses in my garage 😁
Great video and I admire your craftsmanship and enginuity. I get a lot of inspiration from your build process and learn small tips in how to assemble and design speakers for myself. Keep up the good work and I look forward to your next video!
Great build! This would be perfect if you could move the reset button and led to the front or top of the speaker. I often have to reset my Arylic boards because they stop responding no matter how often I reload the app.
Thank you! I had that idea but it just became too complex and I wanted to keep the build as simple as possible. However, I have never had the issue of having to reset my Arylic boards. So far my experience has been pretty seamless.
Your work it's just Damn Bro, but Not only you, many people in this kind of videos making not showing the making of crossover circuite & its components
The BUILD PLAN for this project can be purchased here: bit.ly/31N0Aag . It includes a comprehensive 33 page description of materials, parts, etc. on how to build this speaker from beginning to end.
Incredible video, excellent tutorial. But I have a question, how do I do it if I have my old home theater sound system, the one I used with the DVD. As I do to transform it into a 5.1 home cinema. What amplifier board would you recommend? And how would be the installation of this? I would like to see on your channel how you recycle an old DVD 5.1 home cinema and learn how to make mine. So that it does not continue to throw dust. Thank you very much for the video and learning.
If you already have a receiver that powered the speakers, you could use the amplifier from that. It might be a bit tough though so I'm not sure if you'd want to try that
Nice build and excellent explanation. I only have a few questions. Since this is an active speaker, why don't you go for an active crossover as well? Those will not only perform much better, but are also cheaper, more efficient and smaller as well? Also I saw quite some dips and peaks in the frequency response. Are you aware of using (window) gated measurements? This way you basically don't see any dips from reflections.
Thanks! For me, the active solution will be more complex to build. I personally also prefer the sound of a passive speaker with well designed crossover. The gated measurement will only show me from around 200 or 300Hz upwards in my environment. I wanted to see the entire response curve. The dip and peeks are expected in the low regions and you'll get them in any room, so I wanted to show a more realistic expectation to my viewers.
@@SoundBlab It's true that your only limited in your response. My experience is that from around 170-200Hz is perfectly possible with a 25% Hanning window. (I live in a small appeasement) This can actually be combined with a near-field measurement incl a baffle simulation (with Edge or VituixCAD). Actually Audio Preclusion has an EXCELLENT paper on the subject, called "AppNote Loudspeaker EA Measurements" and is free to download.
@@p_mouse8676 I would normally do a baffle simulation with more involved, complex or higher end speaker builds (using VituixCAD), but for this simple build I didn't think it was worth the effort.
Well done, the box of the speaker looks so professional it sims that you buy this beautiful speaker but no, moreover the sound quality is much then great for a speaker of this size
I see you also have modded your hole cutter so it is actually usable, I even sharpened them differently and they work soo much better (maybe visible in my video) anyway nice build and greetings from Finland
Thanks man. I did actually build a second one of these. Tried the stereo and it works, but its not 100% perfect. Sometimes it can get a bit out of sync.
Hi SoundBlab! I am also from South Africa and a big fan of you channel. May I ask what is the average delivery fees you usually pay when ordering from Parts Express?
Hi! It very much depends on the weight of the item(s). You can drop what yo need in the cart and then get an estimate for the charges before you finally checkout. That will be the best way to determine what it will be.
Confused at the connection of that white box, Sir it has out put & input but you connected only one side to the power input which side is this ? What about other side of this box connection
I from india and i looked for speaker from crative,jbl ,sony price are so high. accidentally i found your channel but i do not have engeenering skills in me And wood cutting machine . What was the exact manufaturing cost is it?
Thanks for this, you’ve inspired me (greetings fellow SA) to repurpose a 1946 furgeson valve radio. Can you recommend a 6.5 or 8 inch speaker for full range? I’m planning to utilize a old google mini home for the sound, can I use the speaker output into this amp?
Hi, great speaker, now you can make the same to get stereo. Did you tweak the arylic board to optimize the sound of the speaker with the ACP workbench app?
Thanks. Yes, I did actually build another one of these. Tested the stereo, but was not that impressed with it. I did not optimise the board, but I am keen to play around with the ACP Workbench app to see its capabilities.
did you work with the zma/frd files and t/s params provided by dayton? doesnt look like you measured the speaker yourself. i did that once and when i measured that speaker with a microphone later the response didnt match the simulation at all. turned out the files provided by the manufacturer werent close to the real thing also xsim is not considering your enclosure or the baffle step.
@@SoundBlab i am watching ur all videos becoz of ur dedicated and professional art of work... really awesome.... much appreciate your work... every product which produces by ur self is not only a product... it's an art... really...
Thanks! The crossover design does take into consideration the baffle step. To make it more pronounced, I had to consider more bass vs less SPL. I went for a more balanced sound and more SPL in the end.
Yes, if you have 2 or more of these, you can have one in each room and play different or the same content on each one simultaneously. It works like a Sonos.
I don’t know man. You will have to do the sums based on your parts, materials and labour costs etc. and then come up with a suotable price. These factors differ from country to country and availability of parts etc.
Really excellent sound! Just don't ever play that so called song about it's 2 am again.... I felt embarrassed listening to that, horrible copied lyric's and thrown together, anywho..! Don't stop making great thing's :) Alway's a plus.
This guy just does it for me, every time!! Great job mate it looks great.
Thanks man!
I like that the speaker is more complex than just a box, great speaker👌🏻
Thanks!
Really like the wireless module just wish it wasn't so expensive, as always nice builds!
Thanks

An excellent piece of product design. Beautiful work, as ever. Your attention to detail is just fantastic.
Thank you very much!
I dont know how but i can watch all your vids without getting bored!
Awesome, thanks man!

Like the complex design in it
Thanks
Every time I think to start work on your last project but you always come up with new and better idea which makes me to concentrate on new one. 😀😀
😄 I know what you mean, I also do that with projects I work on. There's just too much cool stuff do try and build!
You are the best carpenter in the world ❤️😊❤️
looks great I like the fabric material, overall great design.
Thank you very much!

Very nice !
(With touch control built in (like the HK Omni+) it would be even better !!!)
Thanks! Yeah, touch control would be nice!
SoundBlab nice video more information make to stereo how you soldered the resistor and how you connected it I didn't understand.
Thanks. Yeah sorry, I did not go into lots of detail on the resistor network.
i really like and inspired by all of your videos sir. thanks for sharing
Glad to hear that
Good work nice design
Thanks a lot
It is looking really good and small, congratulation for the design ! how many did it cost overall ?
Thanks! Components will be around US$130, plus material cost which should be very little, maybe another US$20.
Amazing work
Thanks a lot 😊
Beautiful! Why you need to add a resister to the ground?
@SoundBlab and how.. please help me
@SoundBlab please help me with the Stereo to mono wiring
Very impressive!
Thank you!
Well done, the box of the speaker looks so professional it sims that you buy this beautiful speaker but no, moreover the sound quality is much then great for a speaker of this size

OSM Work bro
Thanks ✌️
I see you also have modded your hole cutter so it is actually usable, I even sharpened them differently and they work soo much better (maybe visible in my video) anyway nice build and greetings from Finland
Hi, thanks! Yes it takes some good sharpening to get them to work well, but so far so good.
wow that is impressive.
Thanks 😊
Wow.. Wow great job wish I had skills like this... a stereo pair would be nice ever though about that?
Thanks man. I did actually build a second one of these. Tried the stereo and it works, but its not 100% perfect. Sometimes it can get a bit out of sync.

nice intro 😍
Confused at the connection of that white box, Sir it has out put & input but you connected only one side to the power input which side is this ?
What about other side of this box connection
The other side goes to the Arylic board for power.
What is the white thing that you put inside the speaker at 20:46
It is called Poly-fill or Dacron.
I from india and i looked for speaker from crative,jbl ,sony price are so high. accidentally i found your channel but i do not have engeenering skills in me And wood cutting machine . What was the exact manufaturing cost is it?

Cool man! Look at these drivers: Dayton Audio PS180-8 and Tang Band W6-2144. Perhaps one of these will be suited to your needs.
Hi, great speaker, now you can make the same to get stereo. Did you tweak the arylic board to optimize the sound of the speaker with the ACP workbench app?

@@SoundBlab What was the issue with the stereo?
How you connected the stereo connection to the amp is confusing. What did you do there?
Also didn't understand.
I think he joined the 3 wires together to one and jumper the ground 14:34
SoundBlab testing more this speakers sound test
Fantastic!!
Thanks!
did you work with the zma/frd files and t/s params provided by dayton? doesnt look like you measured the speaker yourself. i did that once and when i measured that speaker with a microphone later the response didnt match the simulation at all. turned out the files provided by the manufacturer werent close to the real thing also xsim is not considering your enclosure or the baffle step.
I always measure drivers and frequency response. I don't rely on the manufacturer specs.
Can I get this pls price
sensacional parabéns👏
Thanks
nice idea...
Thank you! Cheers!
Do you have circuit diagram for the crossover network and the coil winding
Its all in the build plan you can get on my website www.soundblab.net
what is your software for using 3D design ?
I used SketchUp for this design
@@SoundBlab i am watching ur all videos becoz of ur dedicated and professional art of work... really awesome.... much appreciate your work... every product which produces by ur self is not only a product... it's an art... really...
@@researchmode7065 Thanks man!
Hiee which software u use to design
Sketchup
How will change mode from Bluetooth to wifi.....
Its all done through the 4Stream app on your phone.
very great build but for the low end i would "apply" baffle step compensation... that would give you a nicer punchier bass
Thanks! The crossover design does take into consideration the baffle step. To make it more pronounced, I had to consider more bass vs less SPL. I went for a more balanced sound and more SPL in the end.
What is the little clear plastic router he uses?
www.banggood.com/custlink/vv3DkD37Lh
Guy, I'm in South Africa. Will Banggood or Arylic still ship to me amid the civid19 pandemic?
Yes they will.
Can i buy this from you...?
can we make all 4 satellite attached with one receiver at a same time and setup on every room ?
Yes, if you have 2 or more of these, you can have one in each room and play different or the same content on each one simultaneously. It works like a Sonos.
@@SoundBlab thanks Sir
I thought you make multiple speeker and play them at same time. Next video how to do that.
Hi, yes I am also building a sound bar with the wireless boards and will do a video where I play them at the same time soon.

Thanks!
Great!
Thanks
Добрый день! Сколько стоит такое чудо?
Sir Which software u will use to design this at the starting video plz tell sir
I used SketchUp
@@SoundBlab tq sir 😍❤
I am planning to make a tech company. If I made one of these with a different design how much would it sell for
I don’t know man. You will have to do the sums based on your parts, materials and labour costs etc. and then come up with a suotable price. These factors differ from country to country and availability of parts etc.
@@SoundBlab Thank you. your products are just so so good. i think i might employ you to design them and build them
Hi. Just like to know. Are you from South Africa.
I am
Sir, i have a small suggestion... you could build and sale your own design
Maybe one day, right now I do not have the capacity for such a venture.

Top notch construction tecniques! Serviceability if electronics fail?
Thanks! The back panel can be removed to service electronics. Crossover parts and drivers rarely fail if at all.
