    And now you have sawdust in the back of the speaker lol, great build, quick tip when covering with vinyl cut your sides on the 45 and pre adhere the vinyl to the surface overlapping 3-4mm round to edge to be glued that way the vinyl doesn't shrink away from edges over time and doesn't snag and catch at the join, then hit it with a hairdryer to give the adhesive back a decent hold on what seems to be untreated mdf. Keep the vids coming you've got great talent.

  • @chrisfox6843
    @chrisfox6843 6 років тому

    Very nice. I like the covering for it too. This was my first speaker build about a month ago. Just went with spray paint for the finish. Couple coats of primer with 4 coats of black. I screwed up though and was in a hurry to finish. On the last few coats of paint I got sawdust in the finish. Instead of sanding and repainting I just leaned into it and added little bit more sawdust then painted. Had a dimpled look that I've come around to. I think for the next one I build I'll do that from start to get a more of an effect.

    Great build. My only comment would be to build the crossover with one of the perforated boards that Parts Express sells. This makes the crossover smaller and neater.

    Re-watching this video using my new C-Note speakers.
    Props to Kirby for some cool scenes and tunes to make them sing to.
    These speakers are honestly one of the best ways, I can think of to spend $100. To buy separately they're $230 from Parts Express and you'd still have to build a cabinet.
    I set mine 6 ft apart and stood 6 ft away, only using a 2024+ amp and I am blown away by how good these things sound.
    These are reference quality in my little audio world. The amp is maxed out and the input is at 85%. Bass set to full and treble at 70%
    I put in an extra capacitor from the tweeter, as you can read in their forums. No idea if it did anything, don't care, these things sound fantastic.
    Mine are finished in Carnival Orange. What can I say, I like Orange.
    Best $100 you'll ever spend.
    Next is the proper amplifier, they've had a week of being broken in on the 2024+
    5*

    Hi Kirby,
    I really do enjoy how your Videos are made. I'm also very happy to see how far you came with your Page.
    I'm currently building my Own Bluetooth Speaker. Do you have any advice on where to tune the Enclosure for Midbass drivers with an fs of around 90 Hz ? I'm looking for a little more Output, since the Drivers are so small, but do'nt wan't them to lose a lot of accuracy.
    Keep up the good work !
    Best regards from Germany

      Ravs Ajay - I rarely save money on my DIY projects, but the satisfaction of knowing every inch of the build more than pays for the extra. I take pride in knowing that a project works because of my knowledge and craftsmanship.

    Any recommendation on components? Plate amp, speakers, crossover parts, etc? I built your soundbar/sub combo and it was great.
    Thanks in advance!

    , wow, there's gonna be a significant difference between the low end on the speaker with the amp module. that thing took up half the available air space inside the box. could you have made that speaker deeper ? should you have?
    I think I would have made them both about 2 to 4 inches deeper because of the size of the plate amp

    That's not bad at all man. I've used the same vinyl and it looks better than I predicted. Not a premium look, but certainly something that would pass as a budget speaker from a big name manufacturer. You're choosing some nice beefy looking amps too. If I wanted to improve it for cheap I'd look into some screws that have nicer looking heads. But even simple wood screws look good since it's black on black.
