- This design of acoustics came into my head quite by accident) I honestly don't know if you will like such an unusual home-made speaker system, so write your comments, I will be interested in what you think!

can imagining how they sound...love em
i'm such a sucker for original speaker design. Simply amazing
Really nice work, love it. Try using a small plastic flexible spatula in the grooves to fill the gap at the joining section of the 2 pieces. They work great in these situations.
The natural wood look was excellent as well!
Just wow...not only they sound good but they look amazing
Exterior design, you have a winner. It's a new direction from traditional square designs, moving toward custom uniqueness. As for the sound quality - explore Transmission Line (aka T-line) speaker cabinets, and regardless the driver, your speakers will sound much fuller, richer and bass response will be much more enhanced.
I have very rare TLs which are an 8 foot folded non-resonant pipe. Bass is so tight.
It's a very interesting design, but I'm not sure I would call it a new direction. Unorthodox designs have been around for a very long time.
Of course, I can't tell how they sound but they definitely look beautiful.
These look great but are likely to sound lacking in bass. You could easily solve that by turning them into a bass-reflex design with the addition of a port in the bottom, to gain bass not only from the bass-reflex design but also from the boundary effect of firing downwards onto whatever surface you put them on.
Great Job Alex keep designing
Love it! Solid design. But what about ports or vents? For the lows? Then a link for me to buy them...
Very nice final product!
One small suggestion: Go to your Mirka disc sander. See that really coil-ey looking tube; the large one? Follow that to its other end. The thing that it is attached to? That's a vacuum cleaner. I know this sounds crazy, but you can actually disconnect the sander from the other end, and use the vacuum cleaner to pick up DUST! No, REALLY! Wild, huh? Who would have guessed? Anyway, the next time you hollow out some MDF with forstner bits or carve a profile into the edge of MDF (which may or may not contain urea-formaldehyde that can make you very ill from breathing in its dust; see 'wheezy chest' question someone else posted...), you can use the vacuum cleaner to suck up all that dust right while your tools are generating it! Give it a try; I think you'll find it works a bit better than the sweeping and blowing-it-onto-the-floor method you are using now.
Great job. I bet they sound good, and even though they probably don't go deep, a closed box usually has fast and punchy bass. Never mind all the negative nit pickers commenting on how you should rather have done it.
Anyways, how many forstner bits did u go through? I find mine get dull fast, but I have never bought expencive ones and that is probably one reason.
They look great...my issues would be; reflection faces inside are only applicable to small/high freq wavelengths and overall its still a basic box with co planar rectilinear reflection so will still end up with nodes/nulls in the low end...if the internal angles were randomised and prismatic, it should greatly improve it....but they do look very cool and the tang bands are always great although I think those boxes also might be a little small for bottom end. I didnt see what you used for fill etc. A graph would be good to find the issues...but useless for actual 'how do they sound'
Great work!
Very nice, awesome job!
São lindas,desainer muito elegante
I see the post go in, but how do they connect to the drivers wiring?
Damn those are some great looking speakers!!!
Almost a Mini Heco Direkt 😄 Anyway great job 💪🏼
Hi very very nice little monitors. I would use as satellites adding two 8" inches below for bigger spaces. 4" drivers could have issues below 150Hz to reproduce high SPLs with low distortion. The drivers price is amazingly low. Thanks a lot, gino
you do great stuff and create very interesting videos, thank you.
Can you sometimes put the music track info on your info please. Some of it is great, but can't shazam it. shame.
Your background MUSIC rocks, Mann! It makes my semi open FR speakers sound good. See my RANT on my wanting to share music like so amazingly airy and 3D and semi dipole (for no extra cost). The semi open also extends like an "octave" to the top. And stick to single driver speakers cos they are IN PHASE and sound so much better the normal 2-ways. I add a woofer, but still have basically the whole signal in the semi open FR driver. Cheers Big Ears!
River of emotions gushing.
Thank you for showing us the floor sweeping :-)

🤭😂
What are you sealing the mdf with?
Nice....For a minute, I thought you might be using the gold feet as the speaker wire connection points....but that would leave you limited to where you could move them.....unless you made a base for them to sit on. Just odd things that come into my mind.
I have never seen a paint booth like that. What was the running liquid and it’s purpose?
This is a paint chamber with a hood, it catches paint vapors and water catches paint
Awesome work superb 👏👏👍👌
A crazy trick to extend highs on any FR driver (no matter how cheap).
You need a 1 mf (elecrolytic) speaker cap cos they sound more "silky" on FR drivers and ceramic caps sound more 'brittle". You also need a 2 ohm resistor and a 270 ohm resistor. Now, you simply connect those 3 components in PARALLEL with each other and connect to the + terminal of the FR driver. You won't believe what you will hear!
How did you make the actual speaker?
That bit was missing in the video.
nice work!
Superb job on these speakers, love your creativity and work. Wish I had access to a paint booth like yours.
How would you rate the sound quality of these full range drivers?
Thanks! You also do well, this is a wide-band speaker with a resonant frequency of about 60 hz, I personally like its sound)
I was surprised and I didn't think I would be. The lack of internal wiring I thought was genius.
How did you scallop the sides?
Looks organic. I liked it.. I would prefer the wood look though so everyone could see they are not made of plastic.
Flush mounting the driver in the baffle will result in smoother in-room treble response.
It is great to have this kind of woodworking skill plus the workshop facilities that go with it. How many hours spent all up? Anyway, they look and sound great.
It's not really my idea of DIY built speakers this is a very well equipped work shop and someone with a considerable amount of woodworking skill.
But the videos are enjoyable to watch but not something I could hope to replicate myself.
nice... acoustic suspension, you really know about audio
This is great, because he used a 4" full range driver, so no crossover components with inherent distortion, means great imaging, and a very expansive "sweet spot"
You are wrong on all counts, I am afraid.
"so no crossover components" - no baffle step compensation or resonance filtering will lead to an over bright and bassless response unless this is an extremely high end tailor made driver (which it isn't, it cost £11 from AliExpress)
"crossover components with inherent distortion" - what? a correctly designed filter network will introduce no notable distortion.
"a very expansive "sweet spot"" - if anything the sweet spot will be limited as full range drivers need sufficient SD to provide bass. the trade off a driver that provides 'full range' is a narrowed dispersion.
" means great imaging" - nothing you have mentioned is meaningfully connected to imaging with the exception of the point-source driver element (but we already went over the drawbacks there).
@@grahamsquared Totally agree! People who think no crossover is the best way to go are people who have never measured a full-range driver or designed a proper crossover. Maybe they like the sound of cone breakup at 4K?
@@tsOnMedia I have to disagree. Music reproduction is not just measurements. Furthermore we do not all of us have a listening room in our house. If you are a millionaire it is another story 🧐
@@gamiwv I'm hardly a millionaire - not even close. But learning costs very little thanks to a few good, inexpensive books and forums on the web. I suggest you visit the Parts Express Tech Talk forum and look at the stickies at the top. There are some great resources to learn how to measure speakers and design crossovers.
@@tsOnMedia Thank you for the advice (I didn't knew that Parts express have tech talk forum). I'll visit that forum and maybe I'll learn something more (till now I'm measuring speakers through an android application on my phone)
what you done its proving that you can do much more and better ;)
Would love to see the frequency response graph for these.
... with and without the internal chamber design for a comparison!
how did you paint the mdf base regarding the edges which are the worst to paint :-) or what is your general workflow painting mdf? thanks
First, 2-3 layers of transparent primer are applied, then 1-2 layers of polyester white primer and then enamel, and so that the edges are not sharp and the enamel lies well there, they need to be sanded a little
Great design and good quality video. If you could explain the materials you are using, either by a crawler or speech, I think that would help more people into the hobby.
Alles schön anzusehen, aber wo kommen die Gehäuse her? Was sind das für Chassis?
造型好奇特，声音不错哦
多謝。

How did the grooves on the outside get done? Did you design the interior cabinet volume to be tuned to that driver?
Nice
Русского мастера всегда выдаст клей Момент )))
Nice job! Where did you get those pointy golden feet knobs?
Thanks! This acoustic spikes ordered on Aliexpress link is in the description
AMAZON - AliExpress
Hello, I am curious what it is for or what is the function of the dividers inside a baffle? Greetings
did not quite understand you that the separators?
Amazing speaker design
What driver did you use and enclosure volume please?
Thank you
The link to the driver is in the description under the video volume of 5 liters
@@diy-sound5763 thank you 🙏
Wow!
Try making a larger box with the same driver (like 3 times the cubic capacity) and make the speaker hole the same but with a 40 mm deep cardboard or plastic tube running into the box, the same diameter as the speaker hole. This makes the speaker hole act as a bass vent. Then mount the driver (about) 1 cm ABOVE the speaker hole with a gap between the driver and the box. Make SPACERS out of soft thin sprinkler hose so you can tweak the gap (essential). So make the spacers 11 mm long and use small washers under the driver then the spacers. And use extended mounting screws and adjust gap with sound. I have a slightly larger gap on the top speaker screws than on the bottom to counter resonances. Then tilt the completed speakers back cos the driver is pointing down slightly. Or alternatively, have the smaller gap at the top instead and don't tilt the speakers back. Your choice, I like the former for airy acoustic reasons (with a built in slope in my boxes). Try the semi open speaker and you won't want to listen to anything else. Even better than panel speakers cos mine don't have the 6ft mouth.
stunning look, but, het - how is the really ?
I React to the thickness of the baffle around the speaker I had carved out it in a 45° shape. The hole to the speaker is too tubular! Read thick!! Otherwise I love the design!
Fostex broadband speakers 202/204 is great...
Wow.
Whats a trak on 4:03 - 6:11 min?
Holy crap, the rigidity of this speaker cabinet must make it incredibly inert!
They look pretty, but the inside curves are far from ideal for audio waves, nor is having no port or vent for the deeper frequencies.
u can hear them in the last minute.....they look beautiful but they sound horrible. As to be expected.
На основном будет видос?
Или полностью перешёл на такой формат видео?
Yes
You are just amazing with your hands & mind. I am a high end consumer. And I pay $$$$$ to get the best AV kit. And here you are making awesome stuff at home ! Great innovation & workmanship. Message me if you want to sell any of your creations.
Hi! What particular model are you interested in?
satisfying to watch a masterpiece being born.
What's the speaker. Also what kind of crossover?
this is a broadband speaker, they do not need a crossover, a link to the speakers is in the description under the video
The speakers look nice, but I wonder how much cabinet resonance was introduced because of the unfinished interior. It's Very odd that you would leave the interior just in the shape of the drill bit.
The shape is acting as an diffuser. Its almost an egg shape but egg carton, there's a few ways to get this done.
So how did you feed the wires to the speaker connectors AFTER you mounted the drivers already hahaha, AND you need to use a rubber or similar seal to mount the driver. It's not just picking up a piece of lumber and putting a speaker into it. It needs to be CORRECT size according the its specification. The finish aesthetically looks acceptable. Building a set of good speakers is an ART my friend :-}}
Is it full range speaker?
Yes
are you selling them?
Pour une enceinte, ce n'est pas la présentation qui compte, mais le son et là, c'est une merde
Great Ideas, great Job, but you should get better tools. - Imagine what designs this guy could create once if he has a cnc-router?
Glaub mal was - die mukke die das video unterstüzt hören wir auch -. 1 m bass weg - is sensationell -. macht aus der plerre - Ein high end system - das ohne zusätzlichen bass - richtig - befeistert.
A list of materials would have been nice. The material that you made into shavings on the floor is unknown to me.
It appears to be Medium .Density Fiberboard (MDF). Wear breathing and eye protection when working with it. The chemicals it is made with can be hazardous.
what kind of paints did you use?
Verinpaints
Muy bonito,pero como no tengas un taller de carpintería y una cabina de pintura , no haces nada de nada. Y una faena que para que .
One thing for sure , if your not using an effective mask all that MDF dust will cause serious
lung issues later in life ... trust me I know .
I was shocked seeing him without a mask.
Wonder how they sound now
Like shit
Looks like two old fashioned radiators.
very handsome!
One suggestion, eat more tacos!
more sp[eaker
Really box
Aber sonst - leider Geil - das. 💪
шумки не хватает внутри. за динамиком. и лабиринта. а так нормальная сборка.
Go to gr research and buy a kit then your speakers will sound as good as they look
looks like a bread loaf !
the chimp sounds made the vid
Привет Алексей! А где на русском видео? Я что не туда попал? Или у тебя есть другой канал?
Привет! В бей в поиске Alex Sound на ютубе
@@diy-sound5763 спасибо
this is DIY? yeah... let me just callibrate the waterfall in my state-of-the-art paintbooth
You can buy these at depot now. I got mine with autoclave and they threw in a free CNC machine!
No tweeter?
Whizzer cone in the center of the full range driver, coaxial design.
Where did the wood come from...? And what is inside that speaker...?
it looks hi-fi, but is it? You only show the woodworks , but nothing inside. That usually spells crap-sound, no matter how cool that driver looks. I'm not pissing on your prodcut dude, it looks awesome.
furniture makers gave me these milled columns, the volume of the case is 5 liters, it plays in a closed box
Its a full range driver, no need for a crossover.
You are correct, these type of drivers are usually in a T-Line box design to add bass.
@@fubartotale3389 I would add an x-over part for baffle step loss and add few db. kick in the top end as it rolls off.
To go along with the $3000+ cabinet look. To scare the big bad wolf Willson Walt puppy
A lot of work, very "thin" sounding speakers in the end.
Microphone
noun:
an instrument capable of transforming sound waves into changes in electric currents or voltage, used in recording or transmitting sound.
Bring irgendwie 1m bass weg ins gehäuse und du wirst staunen was diese breibänder leisten. 😂
You need a vacuum in your system. If you are doing a professional work in wood, get a suction system...
the surprise is it works without any wiring....the nameplates are a bit pretentious
Really, 1 way speakers sounding great?...
no chance will glue only keep the 2 x 1/2's together >They need a few biscuits etc .
Why would u waste time using a forstner bit to turn it all into waste when u could have jigsawed the layers out... ?? 🙄
Holla
Hi
“DIY”
Well, he did it himself
@@Sheevlord Same way Andrew Jones can build a speaker by himself, no?
good design but terrible sound... next time more attention to the internal surface
Not everybody has a drill-press, a router table, a paint-booth, air-compressor, lines, pro paint gun, etc, etc....get real will ya?
Why watch diy videos if you don't own any tools ?
@@hypersphereengineering6015 It's not a matter of "no tools", anyone who bothered to pay attention in school in wood-shop could create virtually anything if one had ten thousand plus dollars worth of woodworking tools...all brand new. The spirit of DIY pales when the creativity is spoiled by lotsa money.
@@AndieBlack13 You don't need a spray booth to paint a speaker. You don't need a drill press to drill a hole . Stop making excuses about money too. I don't have a lot of money but when I do I buy tools. I have collected a shit load of equipment slowly over a long period with a very low income. I now own a CNC milling machine, large lathe,drill press ,router table, saw table , bandsaw, 3 welders, plasma cutter and the list goes on. You can't eat an elephant in one sitting, you have to do it slowly . Same with acquiring tools. Besides excuses, there's nothing stopping you doing the same.
so precise, so intricate construction to produce such a miserable sound
that it will surely destroy the sound standards of your brain. a
carpenter, no matter how good he is, is forbidden to make speakers. A
speaker requires detailed measurements of the characteristics of the
loudspeakers of the box and the sound environment, and detailed design
of the box and the crossover. this requires specialized sophisticated
electronic instruments, and university education. the carpenter is good
at making furniture. no speakers ....
Must have doctorate to make a speaker.
