Your box looks really cool!! I just got my AK-370 today, it sounds great but as soon as i turn up the volume it shuts off!!....returning & getting a refund tomorrow!
Before you scarp it, check the impedance of your speakers. Frequently inexpensive amps like these they "turn off" when too much power is drawn from the speakers, so I find using 8 or 6 Ohm speakers prevents this "cutting out". The "shutting off" might be caused by low (4 Ohm) impedance speakers. They should work with 4 ohms but sometimes they don't.
@henrydegroh2341 thanks, the speakers I were using were 6x9 car speakers mounted in speaker boxes, and they are in fact 4 ohm!! I'll try different speakers when I get home. I appreciate the help, thank you
Thanks for you comment and question. It is very unlikely I would use this speaker as a midrange; in my opinion this speaker sounds great and does not "scream", though I may not understand what you mean by scream.
What did u use to get your final finish ? And I feel like u could have used a pair of small 3/4 inch tweeters to help with the highs but it’s hard to tell with an audio recording?
In another video I compare these speakers to others in similar boxes; in this other video I believe I share some frequency sweeps, which showed good response out above 10,000 Hz. The bass and treble are set to flat in this video I think, so... crispness can be enhanced a bit with eq. The finish is I think a glossy spar varnish, like a marine varnish. I have a sailboat I use it one. The finish I prefer now uses hard wax oil.
Ive got one. Cant get the bluetooth to work. Tried android and Apple no joy. Any tips? What is the name or code of the amp as displayed on the phone. Ta
Hi Ta, bluetooth problems are super annoying - like... where's the magic?! the magics not working!@#$%#@. I have 5 of these AK370 amps in my house right now and all the bluetooths connect fine. but my list of bt devices in my settings is so long, I have trouble figuring out which one is which, so I rename on my phone each amp in the bt settings. The original name I believe is "BT" or "BT speaker". Make sure you push the mode button on the amp or the remote until "blue" is displayed on the amp. Also make sure it's not connected to any other device. hope that helps.
love these boxes. I also love building boomboxes 😇

Personaly for midrange use.. Would you use this speaker or get a different one. Preferably one that does not scream.

@@henrydegroh2341 Thanks for getting back. They sent me another and it works.
Great; how do you like the amp now that you have one that works?@@ozbizbozzle
@@henrydegroh2341 I think it is great. I use in my kitchen when cooking playing radio downloads here in the UK. Gilles Peterson and Guy Garvey
