I want to thank you, not only for a great view of your amazing craftsmanship but also for introducing me to this band, it is truly magical music! Thank you!
Thanks so much for taking the time to do this. If you could, elaborate more on your crossover next time; how you chose the crossover points, what parameters did you use (tested or published), total impedance, etc. That would be great!
You broke rule NR 1 with multiway speakers: Driver spacing as close as possible. Atleast midrange and tweeter have to be very close. That big spacing between drivers destroys sound. Because phase distortion, lobe filtering, etc. Nice work on wood, but you really should read some theory too, if you want to achieve quality sound, not only looks.
+Valtra103 I was thinking the exact same thing at the end when he showed the finished product. No doubt the cabinet looks incredible and is a work of art, but the layout of the drivers is not ideal for the best sound.
+Valtra103 thanks man, i did not found nothing about when i was building my speakers, maybe because i did non search right... anyway thank you very much. there is always something to learn...
Jette Christensen More drivers will not fix anything. Real problem here is between MID and Tweeter. More than one tweeter is bad idea. More midranges will introduce even more problems.
Hi. It is an excellent project. Congratulations. Can I find the plans and measures ?. I would like to become one. Thank you. Greetings from Buenos Aires
Very nice job done here man!! I just would have to be able to listen to them! Do you think that you could make it one of these days with decent recording?? (stereo, without AGC, few music samples?) It would be great!
Thanky you for your comment! i'm happy that you like my project:) i'm sorry but i don't have any microphone that will be able to record the audio in flat without distortion. then to listen what i hear you need a couple of monitors.
Beautiful craftsmanship. Tweeter should be immediately next to mid, and at sitting ear height. For people that want to build their own, and don't know crossover design, I would suggest Madisound here in the USA. Tom there does amazing crossover design. He has done a bunch for me and friends. They will build them, or give you schematics. You also get all the response charts from the analysis. If you have the drivers, either mail them to Madisound or they may already have driver info in their data base.
very nice. they look better than most towers out there. i would like to know how were you able to have the paint finish like that at 5:18 it looked so glossy, how were you able to do that?
+Mubashar Ayub hi :) thank you a lot for the appreciation :D it was possible by layering 6 hand of transparent gloss paint with a spray paint and a compressor
I loved this video, the project and the way you explained everything, thank you very much!! If I'm starting to admire HiFi and I have a decent DIY background (I'm an industrial designer), wich kit and setup do you recommend me to build? I still have to buy the amplifier and the rest of components, so every help will be appreciated. Agan, thanks!
+Shao Kahn so first you have to know what do you wanna do. if you wanna just 2 way speaker, more ways. before starting to buy things just think if what you want and then we can talk :)
Thanks, for now I just want a stereo setup that I can enjoy in my bedroom (3mt x 3mt x 2.5mt ceiling), no acoustic treatment yet but if needed can do it, main source of audio would be my computer (in the future, I'd like to add a turntable).

wow, I am like someone starting school for the first time and getting my stuff together to attempt my first build.....that look amazing and I am sure with all that went it must sound amazing....wish mine is only half of what you have.... that is why I am doing a lot more research and buying some books ( already have some ) on anything to do with building them so I get the max out of it...and hopefully find the things I like and wan't....so any tips you can pass on would be appreciated...
Roger McNeil hey, you are on the right way!! when i start thinking about this project i did a lot, a lot of research, saw a lot of video, red tons of things about speakers, pressure, frequency response, what are the best materials to use. this took to me months of every day web browsing. after that i have started the real building. i made a lot of error during this project but i always found a way to solve them so, some tips that you can try: 1) use thik MDF panel of about 24mm or an inch thik 2) avoid using screws or nails, just glue and close ermetically all the holes 3) do some simulation with softwares like bassbox 3 or winisd. then xover 3 for testing the crossover 4) remember: when everyting is done let the speaker play for about 20 hours if they're new. after that time your speaker will sound nice!!
Yes, these are the real shapes you want and 50kg is way better then the in my opnion too thin towers from only 12 kg sell and only mdf.... if you read articles from just 10 years old, and 18mm mdf, against ´real wood... they s on mdf and 18mm seems a lot, but 22mm good mdf is the minimal have i noticed and the shape this guy makes, is the one you want... not rectantuglers from the 70´s.. real nice build, and beautifull to look at...
Are there separate chambers for the midrange and tweeter? Do you know how the frequency response would be affected by adding a second woofer, would you need to alter the dimensions of the cabinet or would 2 bass drivers just up the output?
i have 2 questions! did or do you design speakers for those home theaters that people like bill gates have in their 500 million dollar homes? also is building the cabinet that big a bit overkill or does it have to be that big to get the full sound quality out of the speakers???
NICE!! your very good at designing and building speakers! thank you, you inspired me to do a better job at my project which is completely restoring and upgrading my 2 stets of Infinity 3 way floor speakers and my 2 way infinity bookshelf speakers!! i put bose tweeters in each speaker and Klipsch midranges and basic 10 inch infinity woofers. i also put 100$ crossovers in the 3 way speakers and WOW! sounds amazing!! and since i work at a thrift store total amount spent 20$ !!
Sexy.. Those look like Klipsch Paladium cabinets. Awesome work. How much to build a pair? Haha. I have a case of 5 inch mid drivers and bunch of tweeters, crossovers, etc, waiting for me to get around to building their cabinets (5.1 surround setup with 4 towers and a center speaker).
Tuning Seas speakers is easy .. because they have a greater frequency range than cheap speakers ... and they don't cost that much ... about £45 each for 6.5 inch and about £55 for 8.5 inch woofers .. you can get seas tweeters for as little as £30 each ....
Very nice presentation. fantastic wood job and visual impression. Comparing to my project I did only basic dimensional concept and fabrication I passed to professionals - was ready in one week :). No compare to Your. And this to be deducted from 20 years:) For acoustic I see popular misunderstanding like excessive distances between speakers inputing more to already existing unavoidable phase distortions. (phase distortions are damaging linearity of total range frequency) The width of tweeter area panel is too much making unnecessary reflections -my advice would be to cover near area with cloth, sponge or balsa wood - unfortunately it shall affect the view :(. Your decision but high frequencies are not like in tweeter card. . Type of enclosure has two distances with resonances on each side of low toner plus main body + bass reflect resonance. In my experience body shape without colouring by resonances is not existing. Can we imagine room shape without treatment and reverberation? Without damping it shall be a mess on bass range and in middle as well up-beating them and making it impossible to keep the rest linear. . Is middle toner separated from inner space? Of course it is a must. Low toner without outer damping shall radiate all unwanted internal timbre through cone. Exceptional view but the sound (also because of crossover futures) has no even chance to be neutral.
Nice comment! thank you very much. you have mentioned a lot of thing that i haven't considered during the building of the project and this mean that i have a lot to learn. thank you:)
Green Led Light Lab I must admit that I still find something new to me. Hearing sense is much more sensitive than it seemed to me even after all years of work. Closer to success very small improvements make enormous effects. It's like washing the window - looking through is always enjoyment but last stain is most visible.
Красиво. Один недостаток: динамики сильно разнесены по фронту, и как следствие - большие фазовые искажения. По законам электроакустики - неправильно. Handsomely. One drawback: the dynamics of strongly separated in the front, and as a consequence - large phase distortion. By the laws of electro - wrong.
+Валерий Светорус really? in fact i did not found much information about and built everything to look better. i will do some research. thank you very much for the comment :D
Nice work on such a difficult enclosure. There seam to be a lot of turds commenting on what you did wrong and how poor these must sound. How do YOU like the way it sounds? That's really the only opinion that matters.
+Kevin Livingston thanks man! I really like the sound of my tower. There is a lot of spacing between every detail that is present In a music. A lot of my friends cried or were in some kind of trance listening to their favourite music and I fly when I listen to mine. A lot of hard work but it worth every second :D
Two mistakes with otherwise ROBUST cabinet structure. There cabinets should have "differential" sides, and with all your engineering, something on the cabinet face should have been done or engineered to minimize flat panel diffraction. Still an impressive undertaking. Well filmed too.
+brian king agree with you about spacing, I did not found anything about it when I was building this thing and I don't want to change it. That connections are strong enough to prevent all kind of vibration
+brian king agree with you about spacing, I did not found anything about it when I was building this thing and I don't want to change it. That connections are strong enough to prevent all kind of vibration
Sorry for the 'shitty'. There is a company in netherlands that sells very nice midranges for a reasonable price. Phase plug and alu cones. I bought a couple for 50€
a single 6.5" woofer is pathetic for these huge speakers... with the grilles on you think you have a serious speaker there, when you see the actual drivers you realize the speaker is WEAK AS HELL! absolutely pathetic! I mean at least go dual 6.5"s bare minimum... better yet dual 8"s, or go 4-way design with the 6.5" and 2 8"s or 10"s. very nice boxes though. but I like speakers with some OUTPUT!
true but no matter what you do, you can't get good ultra low bass with a 6.5" woofer, and higher the level of excursion the woofer has to perform the lower it's linearity and tracking ability, i.e. the higher the distortion level. a larger woofer moving a much shorter distance will have less distortion. transients and dynamics will be much better, and it will sound a lot bigger and more effortless. just the facts son. you already have the box to support it... just make that hole bigger and try it out, it looks like you could fit at least an 8", and you could put a 2nd 8 where the bass port is and relocate that somewhere else. to help balance it out, after you do that I would make the midrange a step or two bigger as well. even if you play at lower volumes you'll still experience the advantages of a more efficient system operating at far below it's capacity.
+Artcore103. I don't know if you know what is the frequency response of my system but i can guarantee you that i have a strong and comfortable 30 hz WOTHOUT distorsion. I need to hear the full spectrum, not just the low one
They look cheap perhaps next time you will be far better reading some of Gilbert Briggs than the current "en vogue" copies you have constructed there's no substitute for a grounding in physics and acoustic theory
+Edward Barr - What a useless comment. He built some nice looking cabinets. What does it matter where his inspiration came from, he obviously likes this design so he built it. He probably enjoyed himself while doing it. He has been open to people's constructive criticism. Then people like you come along and just dump negativity on him. To be quite frank, the world could do with far less of your type. Say something kind and constructive or just move the hell on.
I want to thank you, not only for a great view of your amazing craftsmanship but also for introducing me to this band, it is truly magical music! Thank you!
These speakers look amazing, what craftsmanship, more like works of art.
+Toby Hines thank you very very much!! apreciate a lot your comment :D
Wow very impressive cabinets, as a speaker building nut and appreciator of fine woodworking I salute you.
+Rex Holes thank you very very much!! have a nice day :D
That is some fine woodworking! They must sound great
That is a work of art! A craftsman and an artist. Love it!
+Richard Rivera thank you very very much! i'm so happy to read your comment :D
Thanks so much for taking the time to do this. If you could, elaborate more on your crossover next time; how you chose the crossover points, what parameters did you use (tested or published), total impedance, etc. That would be great!
+Tony Williams hi! i did everything via software and tried to match the speaker frequency response... i explain something in the video anyway :D
Nothing sounds better than a set of speakers you made yourself
+Rex Holes and that magic moment when you can listen to all your efford trought vibration in the air is very unique!!
Nice looking speakers...envious of your skill.
Yes, nice music too.
Wow I love your speakers. I'm a speaker fanatic. Great work. Love the song too! S
Beautiful work man. Job well done.
+Lewis Way thank you :D
awesome job. great craftsmanship.
G. Schultz thank ypu a lot!! all those 6 month spend by doing this project worth it!!
the red mohagany finish is great. such a nice gloss and shine, wow.

+Stephen Chase of course he did :D thank you very much!!
Reminds me of a set of Dali's I used to own. Very nice.
Beautiful cabinets! Congratulations. Sub frequency is a bit high as i think of it. May be 200 hz would be better?
Great Job and video
