Definitely...I literally am over 700 orders in, and with that, only once lost my money in case of trouble (which I caused myself) Not all is good/high quality but way better than most people think, specially electronics.(parts etc.)
AIYIMA is actually pretty damn impressive! I’ve had an AIYIMA amp powering a pair of Tannoy Mercury speakers for two years now, and it’s been flawless. (We've also tested other AIYIMA gear, and the results are fantastic!)
If you used 4.7 microfarad capacitors for the tweeters you have the crossover frequency at about 8000 Hz. That's quite high. You should also use bipolar caps.
@xluumu what caps would you recommend then? Im always happy to learn! If its the UF that changes the crossover frequency then i may be able to use my scope to demonstrate which uf caps do what 😊
@@PacmanBasshead I’m hardly qualified to give recommendations, but with the scope, a frequency generator, a selection of caps and a ballast resistor or a speaker it should be easy to test. I’m sure you can make an interesting video of it.
I really enjoy watching you make audio out of cheap crap, I just started watching you this week. I really enjoy watching your content and want to say Thank You.
A few months ago I bought a aiyima speakers in aliex , I was trying to make my own "high end speaker" but I lost the energy to do it, now meanwhile I was watching your videos(they magically appear in my principal page) I got that second breath to do it. Thanks to you I got a lot of info from your videos like the capacitor (filter) in the tweeter and the wave lenght . I´m from Chile btw I hope you are doing well and and thanks. Your videos are awesome.
If you know the speakers FS/QES value (or QTS) you can calculate the EBP. And there you got a referens value for box volume. Dont forget to add volume depending how much the speaker/hardware takes up volume of the box. You can also calculate via free online websites if or not how big/long the ports are going to be. Dont forget, ports with inserts takes volume. But as you say, if i understand you correctly you want to measure the speakers yourself to get a true value of EBP, instead of whatever jibberish values the seller writes.. If they even exist at all. I like this kind of videos you do, very cool with the battery! Cheap (affordable) portable speakers can sound pretty nice, as long as you dont expect high SPL. But if you do get it, pretty darn awsome. Hope this info helps others who would like to try, and at least get a close enough box volume to sound OK. Best regards from 🇸🇪
I like the sound of soft dome tweeters. They're less harsh, and their f r is a bit lower, meaning they can cover upper midrange too which I feel, makes them blend in better.
Hello Alan - from East London! I've been obssesed with your video's recently as my ADHD + (minor) sound engineering skills have led to me to build party speaker boxes just like this with the help of my neighbour (who is a carpenter!) My first build started off when my neighbour cleared his shed out and handed me a MASSIVE car sub he once had installed in his car once apon a time, which with the fact that i had previously bought a £50 party speaker for my nephews birthday party sent me through sleepless nights and moments of online shopping at midnight! Anyway with some testing / ripping apart / re boxing / ripping apart / reboxing... I currently have 2 builds, 1. 1 x WANGCL 2 x 160W + 220W 2.1 Channel Amplifier (15 - 36v) + 1 x 12" 200w Subwoofer + 2 x JVC 300W Peak/30W RMS Power speakers in a rather large / long box 2. 1 x WANGCL 2 x 50w + 100w 2.1 Channel Amplifier (12 - 24v) + 1 x 5" 100w Subwoofer + 2 x JVC 300W Peak/30W RMS Power speakers in a much more portable box I am planning a 3rd design where I combine the two - I have sourced a nice 200w 5.25" Subwoofer. With the 2nd and potentialy 3rd design I'm having a little trouble with satisfying my bass wants, I wonder if I would need to put together a slightly more complex scoop (NOTE - ALL DESIGNS HAVE A BOXED OFF ENCLOSURE + A 'LIP' TO TRY AND EXTEND THE AIRFLOW TO THE CUTOUT AT FRONT) - Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated!
I have the same 8 inch sub you actually have to initially break it in wit lower power because it's quite stiff then it handles higher power a lot better afterwards.
Watching the box build for the temu speakers made me remember I had a bunch of decently cheap gear, a hifonics 12" sub and 2 4x6 blaupunkt coaxial speakers in a walmart sub box, I have the amp coming here in a bit and I can't wait to hear it all running, tested just the 4x6 speakers earlier and it made me more excited
Aiyima is actually a pretty well respected chifi brand. They make some good stuff for the money, and they make some pretty nice amps, too like the AO7 and T9.
Chifi is my new favourite word, thankyou. Yeah i rate it to be honest, im trying to talk to them about ordering a bunch of speakers but they only seem to sell amps on their website
You could get 12mm thick MDF and make it into a 2.1 set up with the speaker boxes (12L each) being tuned at 80Hz for that chest hit and the subbie with a 42Hz tune in about 20L (0,7 cubic feet). Both the speakers and the sub have front facing slot ports. Or you could make a huge portable speaker box like the old one but this time with separate chambers between the subbie and the 6.5" woofers and slot ports or tubes again tuned at 80Hz for the 6,5" and 42Hz for the 8". Do keep in mind that the port to cone area needs to be around 10-20%. Sorry for the long comment. CHEERS!
Haha, valid comment! Im toying with the idea of making cabinets for a 2:1 or another portable box, im leaning towards another portable box because of the drill battery adaptor now, but i also want to make some super nice looking cabients!
I'm down for the challenge of making a class D amp with a booster converter to see how it can compare with the classic car amps. All within your budget constraints.
I would love to see how long the 18v battery lasts as a boom box. I love the music choices by the way. I'm not kidding. The tool battery thing is a real thing for me since I have like a dozen 4ah Ryobi batteries and would love to try to make a high output speaker that sounds good and runs on them. If also love to see how long the speakers would run on the Ryobi 4v 2ah batteries that charge of of USB. There's a mountain of stuff is love to try out but don't have the money for. Be blessed. I hope your channel continues to grow. The headbutting everything.... Kinda much
I'm down for the challenge! as you can see I have my old boombox project in my channel it would be amazing to upgrade the low end on it if I get picked!
I can do the challenge, i ve build a proper diy 2.2 system composed of 2 boxes (each one has an 8 inch bass driver, 4.5 inch mid and a little AliExpress tweeter), the subwoofer are from soundimport(they are both GRS). Currently i am working on 2 towers each one with: two 8 inch bass drivers, 5 inch mid and dayton audio tweeter
I subbed last week because i brought stuff off temu and made my own set up and after watching your videos now my set is getting better videos are great mate got the same energy as me
I'd also love a DATS V3. Problem for me, is it's one of those tools I'll rarely use. Irreplaceable for what it does, but I'd use it once twice a year tops :/
Start buying loads of super budget stuff and have some fun with it! Youll probably find some of the cheaper kit might not be THAT distinguishable from more mid range kit if treated right!
Hi loving your videos I. Currently attempting a media head board for my sons bed with built inspeakers and charger points.But cheating using doner parts from tec I've got lying about that doesn't work anymore.
i have a dats v3 and yave been thinking about getting an assortment of dayton and aliexpress drivers and testing actual initial, broken in, and advertised specs.
I love your channel! It just popped up in my feed today. My "shed" is packed fell of speaker components, cheap amps and battery pack parts from AliExpress, and my wife hates it! Haha. Keep doing what you're doing!
Adam, would that sub speaker be ok for car ? I got small enclosure that I bought years ago and used it with 10 inch speaker but it's to big for the volume of it. What you reckon?
I've been meaning to do a RUclips vid on some speaker hacking for a while now. I'm keen to take up the challenge, my plan is to make DSP controlled(digitally controlled cross over)set of powered speakers out of a set of passive ones.
i've alr made a 30w max diy speaker XY-P15W Ayima 2*15w and 6 3.7v "panasonic" cells and i love audio so i will have fun with it probably gonna be made from aliexpress
What a coincidence as I just built a Bluetooth speaker on my channel using an ammo box and parts from AliExpress lol! Wouldn't mind to be a part of this challenge though as i love building electronics!
Having a collection of over 100 subwoofers and amps up to 20k watts it would be interesting to see the "quality" and performance of a AliExpress or Temu sub in comparison to some of my biggest and best equipment.. 👌 👍
I have been using ds 18s they can get pretty loud but they are like temporary they always blow in a couple months and I just replace because they are so cheap and don’t say “ turn ur amp down then” no I like it loud
Aliexpress is better then temu at least I think so anyway
At this point aliexpress is better than half the crap on Amazon
Agreed !
It is 100%
Definitely...I literally am over 700 orders in, and with that, only once lost my money in case of trouble (which I caused myself) Not all is good/high quality but way better than most people think, specially electronics.(parts etc.)
Is a older store with more things
I love doing speaker stuff. I’m down for the challenge
I've been into audio and weird DIY projects for a few decades, definitely down for the sound challenge :)
AIYIMA is actually pretty damn impressive! I’ve had an AIYIMA amp powering a pair of Tannoy Mercury speakers for two years now, and it’s been flawless. (We've also tested other AIYIMA gear, and the results are fantastic!)
I've literally never had a single problem with aiyima! It's always been great!
SPEAKERS ARE AWESOME!!! sounds like a sick challenge
If you used 4.7 microfarad capacitors for the tweeters you have the crossover frequency at about 8000 Hz. That's quite high. You should also use bipolar caps.
I will replace them! Thankyou, i genuinley appreciate people educating me where im wrong 😊
@@PacmanBasshead I think you know what you are doing, but this way is more entertaining 😀

@xluumu could be a good one, ill add it to the video ideas list!
Finally found the perfect channel that tests audio equipments and I'm definitely up for the challenge
Check out barevids, raw cat too, nice bunch of lads in the audio world
I've been using Aliexpress for about ten years... it's actually not bad, and I'm 99% happy with it.
This would be a very fun project.
You are the most thorough guy to review speaker that I have seen
Thankyou!
I really enjoy watching you make audio out of cheap crap, I just started watching you this week. I really enjoy watching your content and want to say Thank You.
I seriously appreciate that, a lot of energy goes into making these videos and im so happy people are enjoying them!

I vividly remember the moment your first video popped in my feed. Since that day, I’ve been a huge fan of your content. Mate ;)
Thankyou!! Im so grateful when people tell me they enjoy the content, it makes headbutting the bench worth it 👌
I'm definitely up for the challenge
I've always wanted to kick into this diy audio rabbit hole, and this would be an awesome push. I'm definitely down for the challenge!
That setup would be excellent for a home theater system.
That would make a bloody marvellous site radio in a tower box!

32V will be a good input for that amp and help push the speakers better
The amp has a max input of 24v sadly!
Ayima is a pretty good brand. I'm listening to this video with an Ayima DAC that I've had for about 3 years and I'm really happy with it.
Im tempted to email them and see if they'll send me stuff to review, gotta be worth a shot 😆
I like the sound of soft dome tweeters. They're less harsh, and their f r is a bit lower, meaning they can cover upper midrange too which I feel, makes them blend in better.
I absolutely agree, im not a fan of the standard metal dome tweeters, they naturally have a really harsh tone
This all kit would make a good home audio setup
-75w 8ohm.The magnet, but no matter what I bought, I have no problem with the technical parts👍🇭🇺
Hello Alan - from East London!
I've been obssesed with your video's recently as my ADHD + (minor) sound engineering skills have led to me to build party speaker boxes just like this with the help of my neighbour (who is a carpenter!)

I am planning a 3rd design where I combine the two - I have sourced a nice 200w 5.25" Subwoofer.
With the 2nd and potentialy 3rd design I'm having a little trouble with satisfying my bass wants, I wonder if I would need to put together a slightly more complex scoop (NOTE - ALL DESIGNS HAVE A BOXED OFF ENCLOSURE + A 'LIP' TO TRY AND EXTEND THE AIRFLOW TO THE CUTOUT AT FRONT) - Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated!
I have the same 8 inch sub you actually have to initially break it in wit lower power because it's quite stiff then it handles higher power a lot better afterwards.
Oh no way! Thats brilliant advice thankyou!
I build a bunch of these kinds of speakers. I like watching them being made as well. Nice job on the last one.
They are so fun! Im excited to build these into something for sure
This genuinely sounds like a fun challenge, i'm completely down for it! Video was great as well, I'm so glad I found your channel a few months ago!
Im glad you found me too! Really happy to have you onboard+
Watching the box build for the temu speakers made me remember I had a bunch of decently cheap gear, a hifonics 12" sub and 2 4x6 blaupunkt coaxial speakers in a walmart sub box, I have the amp coming here in a bit and I can't wait to hear it all running, tested just the 4x6 speakers earlier and it made me more excited
All for the love man!
I love aliexpress! In fact I use it all the time to buy ampifier boards for my home audio system and it never fails.
Its such a shockingly great thing
I'm 10000% down to try something like this. Love making sound systems for my car, would enjoy making something like a box instead.
Aiyima is actually a pretty well respected chifi brand. They make some good stuff for the money, and they make some pretty nice amps, too like the AO7 and T9.

Will be interesting to hear what it sounds like once in a box. Not bad for cheap speakers.
I know, i was stunned!
Ayima has been around for ages on Amazon. Good brand
Im really up for the challenge, i havent built any spekaers yet but with some aliexpress speakers, scrap wood and screws, i would make it happen
Oh I’m down!!! Gonna build a kit for my touring!
Aiyima had actually been on the rise in audio. They have some really affordable, nice home audio amps. Cheap Audio guy highlights them often
Help! I’ve bought this amp and can’t figure out how to power it from my uk plugs. Amazing video!
With a proper crossover this would shine!
On it!
I have been building all sorts of speakers for a long time now. I am definitely down for the challenge :)
Glad i saw that drill battery adapter, thanks!
Glad to help!
Sounds like an awesome challenge, I already know what I’d build!
Great to hear it!
I'm down for the challenge! as you can see I have my old boombox project in my channel it would be amazing to upgrade the low end on it if I get picked!
Also Aiyima is a pretty well known brand iirc so it’s not too surprising they look good
Thats interesting, how did you hear about them?
I've been waiting for someone to buy some Ali speakers to see what they are like. Good stuff!
Pound for pound and money for money, they seriously beat the temu kit!
speakers blowing is better than doing takeing the speaker apart
I'm well up for the challenge,just waiting for a couple of bits to turn up now. I'll post on Tiktok and all the socials 😊
Yet another excellent video, the challenge is however way above my technical ability 😄
I respect the honesty!
how do you connect the subwoofer to the amp like what wires do you use and how do you get them in the holes
Very small wires haha, in future id use really small ferrules!
count me in on that challenge!
I can do the challenge, i ve build a proper diy 2.2 system composed of 2 boxes (each one has an 8 inch bass driver, 4.5 inch mid and a little AliExpress tweeter), the subwoofer are from soundimport(they are both GRS).

Honestly sounds like a fun challenge i'd be down for the challenge
Would be very down for the callange :)
been craving building a new speaker lately, but to broke :I
one thing i love about ali express that i also can purchase it from malaysia not like ebay/amazon
I actually am planning to finish off my portable mega BT speaker.
That's a damn fantastic idea, I'm up for that challenge.
I'm up for the challenge. Currently only have 2 4" speakers in my car so was thinking about doing this anyways.
Oh man, 4's?! You need some new kit!
@@PacmanBasshead Yeah it's all treble no bass at the moment. Good thing the car is louder than the music :D
this challenge sounds awesome, id love to give it a shot, even if I don't win
You can find that sub with no brand on Temu for a bit cheaper. I know because i bought one of these from temu😅
Hi loving your videos I. Currently attempting a media head board for my sons bed with built inspeakers and charger points.But cheating using doner parts from tec I've got lying about that doesn't work anymore.
Ayima is a topnotch (chinese) audio brand, they sell high quality high powered amplifiers...
i have a dats v3 and yave been thinking about getting an assortment of dayton and aliexpress drivers and testing actual initial, broken in, and advertised specs.
Mines on order, should be here around the 10th, excited!
I love your channel! It just popped up in my feed today. My "shed" is packed fell of speaker components, cheap amps and battery pack parts from AliExpress, and my wife hates it! Haha. Keep doing what you're doing!
Thanks man!
I've litterly built hundreds of systems from car audio, home & pro audio. I'm down for the challenge..!
The best video I have seen about sound equipment in a while
@@Emaisce thanks man!
OMG too funny.. 😆 Love it! BTW you need bi/non polar caps for speakers.
Thankyou! I didnt know this! Every day is a learning day 😊
Dude, Aliexpress is the OG of these Chinese marketplaces. It's my go-to. Actually it is my only one I will use.
Temu gets all the hype though! I do find the prices vary from listing quite a lot once they are in your basket!
@@PacmanBasshead Oh yeah, Temu is the new shiny thing for sure. I don't touch it though, too many people getting their credit card info stolen.
Hell yeah im up for the challenge, ive been meaning to make my own audio system for a while anyways so what other way to start
I’m down for that challenge!!
Yep tweeters can get hot - very hot lol
Tweeters dont move a lot of air and get HOT AF! They have tried all types of things like fluid and stuff like that
Oh No way! I never knew that, so heatsinks are actually pretty smart then!
Adam, would that sub speaker be ok for car ? I got small enclosure that I bought years ago and used it with 10 inch speaker but it's to big for the volume of it. What you reckon?
I'm up for the challenge for sure.
ive been into audio for a while, down for the sound challenge!
Amazing for being Ali express. Hope I get picked for the challenge!
Awesome channel! I dont normally comment but this dude feels like one of the bros. Keep it up man! Great content! Always up for a challenge.
Dude thankyou! Haha, im always one of the bros! Thanks for joining, happy to continue to provide the entertainment!
I've been meaning to do a RUclips vid on some speaker hacking for a while now. I'm keen to take up the challenge, my plan is to make DSP controlled(digitally controlled cross over)set of powered speakers out of a set of passive ones.
Please make a box for those speakers they really sound good!!!
greetings from Mexico
Greetings from UK! I Will make a box, i just need to work out what kind!
@@PacmanBasshead
I'll be waiting!!
Randomly stumbled across the Temu video and had to see this one! Let’s go!
@@Aar0n2009 thanks man!!
i love watching these stuff man i am for the challenge
i've alr made a 30w max diy speaker
XY-P15W
Ayima 2*15w
and 6 3.7v "panasonic" cells
and i love audio so i will have fun with it
probably gonna be made from aliexpress
Wow that’s so cool ngl. I already do Projekts like this in my freetime. Would love to make a video about it!
What a coincidence as I just built a Bluetooth speaker on my channel using an ammo box and parts from AliExpress lol! Wouldn't mind to be a part of this challenge though as i love building electronics!
Well done man, im at work but ill come check it out shortly!
i’m up for the challenge if i’m not to late have always wanted to do a temu build
in down for the challenge i havent done a project like this in ages and i miss it
Definitely up for a challenge!
I'm up for the challenge 100%
I mean I already make speakers so I’m absolutely down, I also 3D print a ton so that could make an interesting combination
Heixbase did a 3d t line and it worked great!
never done any car/sound mods but i love this channel! i do have a studio so i love audio and am up for the challenge :D
Hell yeah for having a studio! Thanks for the kind words, makes headbutting the table worth it!
Having a collection of over 100 subwoofers and amps up to 20k watts it would be interesting to see the "quality" and performance of a AliExpress or Temu sub in comparison to some of my biggest and best equipment.. 👌 👍
I have been using ds 18s they can get pretty loud but they are like temporary they always blow in a couple months and I just replace because they are so cheap and don’t say “ turn ur amp down then” no I like it loud
The gain knob is just a volume knob anyway..
I mean its not, but it kind of is..
You can't really be angry with it 😮😂❤
No speaker too big!no amp too small! bass patrol!!! Let’s gooooo
