Kirby, where are you? This is the last posted video and it's 5 months old. Really hope all is well, miss ya!
I found him on Linkedin, looks like he switched jobs in March and he's probably busy with that.
69th like*
Bummer
i never understood why people get 100-200k subs and then just ditch youtube...
I just found this channel, and kinda like it. But oh well.
Anyone know if Kirby is alright? Just weird he hasn't put up any updates or even a reason for his disappearance
I found him on Linkedin, looks like he switched jobs in March and he's probably busy with that.
@@chancehansen any update on his linked in account? At least some new post or so? Some life sign?
I reject it’s just a new job, don’t think he would just drop everything he’d worked so much for. Definitely odd.
In the era of everyone stuck inside on quarantine we need these videos more now than ever
Definitely keep going on the technical stuff, I think most of us understand and appreciate any stumbling.
Will do! Thanks for watching! And for the understanding 😂
@@KirbyMeetsAudio I would suggest using the Baffle diffraction simulator in Virtuix CAD to help explain what happens when you change your baffle dimensions and driver location
@@KirbyMeetsAudio hey i was wondering if you could give me your opinion on this build i found and what you think about the parts used?
Loving this. Inspired now to build my own speakers Taylored for my small (very) studio. 👏👍
@@KirbyMeetsAudio You explain the process eloquently. Thanks so much !
Hey, Kirby. I hope you're okay?! I just wanted to let you know that you're really missed! We're all waiting to see you again. Stay well! 😍🤗
Hey man! Love all of the fantastic knowledge you share in your videos. And just wanted to let you know that we hope everything is going well, we haven’t heard from you in over a year! Can’t wait for the rest of this build!
Yeah I keep checking in here now and then to see if there's any sign from him, but still nothing :(
It's been 2 years now.
.....and now over 3........ :( Hope the you-know-what didn't get him.....
3 years now
You left us hanging, bro!!! Just kidding! Hope everything is good, man! These videos are some of the most succinct, but deep (enough) videos on speaker design that I've come across. # videos summarized what I learned from dozens of videos from others. Did you end up building these? I'm actually in the process of designing and building a very similar design, but for home theater surrounds and heights. I'm using the Designer Series instead for the woofer and mid, and the reference dome you showed instead of the planar for now, but could switch to all reference. And I'm actually trialing out different crossover points and slopes with the 4 channel DSP KABD board, so I inadvertently built the active studio monitor you designed here with no previous knowledge of your build.
come back 🥺
I just built my first prototype passive two-ways after watching your videos for a long long time. Wanted to say I appreciate your videos a ton, they made it easy to begin to learn about speaker building. The barrier to entry is definitely higher on other channels (at least for the way i learn) so thank you!
I was really looking forward to watching the rest of this series, I hope you come back and post more videos soon Kirby!

WHERE IS THE FINAL BUILD? loved to see you're diy studio monitor series!
Good question! I've been waiting for the final build too.
Would love to have a plans for the monitor. Watched all three videos, but still not enough info to easily build them myself.
Aye you alright? I just found this channel and fell in love! Your video style, personality, expertise and know-how all really hooked me in. I hope we get to see more whenever you're able! 💜
Hey Kirby, really appreciate the effort and knowledge you are sharing with us as its not that easy and comprehensible to find online. Hope you are doing okay and get to finish this awesome project soon. Greetings from Colombia.
Kirby i miss you so much man
Thanks for diving into the nuances of this build! Im a furniture maker and am working on a console with integrated sound system components. I've studied up but seeing you do it really helps. I hadnt fully understood lobing(and probably still don't) but it is a concept crucial to project im working on! Keep it coming!
Thanks for going deeper into the theory with this video. I've only made speakers from Parts Express kits before and understanding what to be thinking about when designing my own speakers definitely makes me more confident about the idea of undertaking the entire design process myself. Thanks for the video and keep it up!
Can't wait for more dirty and quick explanations. I've never heard about most of the technical stuff mentioned here, and it's an eye opener of how shallow and surface level my understanding of speaker enclosures and their design is. Now I'm stoked to get the in-depth videos so I can have an even better grasp on these things. Keep making them! ❤️
Really enjoyed the video. I like how you edit to emphasize your flaws. It’s funny and keeps my attention. Good talk.
I love this. Your channel has inspired me to start designing studio monitors for my recording studio (more for easy listening, not as reference monitors, yet.)
Yes! That's great to hear! Good luck!
Hey mate, echoing the thoughts below. I come here every so often to check in to see if you're back on the channel. Just sending my wishes that whatever it is you're up to these days that you're enjoying it. I've learnt a lot from you. Thanks!
This is a great video. Your explanation is technical enough to get an understanding without confusing the crap out of a diy speaker hobbyist. Keep them coming. Great stuff.
Hope the build is still coming along! Loving it so far.
Hey Kirby, really enjoying this series! As to your Fusion360 question, a Canvas is intended to be used when a designer has a sketch or image that they are importing into the scene to use as a design reference for modelling. Canvases come in semi transparent (so they don't obscure scene geometry) and so have the red outline to make them easier to distinguish in the scene. What you should use in your situation is Insert > Decal, which is meant to be applied to a model face for rendering/realism (and comes in at full opacity).
thanks for taking the time in sharing your knowledge in technical matters, looking forward the next episode!
4 months of silence... What happened kirbs??
Lovin the series and excited for the in depth theory. Thank you Kirby!
You have explained some things to me better than I was understanding previously;
I like MTMs best as a listener, and I see why a little better now. I will offset slightly the tweeter in my next build...
Also the BSC makes way more sense to me now with your explanation.
Thanks for this. I havent learned anything new in speaker design in a long time and I love it!!
Never done monitors/speakers myself, aside from high quality budget subwoofers for my cars over the years _(they sound a TON better than stock subwoofers when you can tailor the frequency response to the car's transfer function)._ Very interesting looking at the design process for monitor speakers. Thanks so much for making the videos! Really enjoying watching them and learning.
Well into 2021. Very sad to see such a good channel disappear. Especially when you don't know what happened, and you imagine the worst.
His dad died and when that happened he pretty much shut down the social channels. As in he just went dark. I imagine it's been pretty hard on him.
I'd like to see more of the technical stuff. Looking forward to more on this build also!
Kirby, loving this series. The scratching the surface approach is great with separate in depth videos diving deeper. Your presentation skills also make it pleasant to watch. Favorite color is Orange!
🧡 Thanks! Excited to dig in on these topics soon. Thanks so much for watching!
@@KirbyMeetsAudio hey man, I really appreciate and I'm thankful for all your content...
I had a question that is it possible to build DIY bookshelf speakers using In-wall speakers, that already have both the drivers and the crossover.
As in all that is required is to build an appropriate MDF enclose with a baffle
good on you for pushing through with this man
this is great man! thank you!! loving the detail!!
Such good info! Thanks Kirby. I am learning a lot here.
Really looking forward to seeing the build! Just found this channel this week and going through a lot of your nice videos. Greetings from Belgium.
You should buy a blackboard and draw us what you think when you explain. It should be easier for you as same for us to understand you. 😃
YES! 💯
This is happening!
@@KirbyMeetsAudio Noooice!!! 😄
Yeah! Good idea!
You should do the lightboard setup. Maybe not the best sample but you get the idea. ua-cam.com/video/2mf03HhlE6E/v-deo.html
Engineering Explained of speakers. 👍🏽👍🏽
Totally wish he was still making videos, I watched ALL of them! Awesome channel, but then you find the end and am like but I want so much more. Love your videos bro, come make more!
youre channel is rad dude - keep it coming!
Love these videos. Not too interested Interested in studio monitors but love the knowledge you share. Explaining things at a basic level even when they are extremely complex is great for us trying to learn
I love this style of vid!!! Keep going
I’ll keep going if you keep watching! 🙌🙏
When is the next video about this project being uploaded? Been waiting forever to see it lol
Finally😁👍
Great speakers!
Greetings from Norway.
🙌 Thanks so much for watching!
Thanks for sharing some knowledge, i can't wait of your detailed theory vid K😉
Keep up these videos. It's all very interesting. Looking forward to some more in depth videos.
Watched lots of your videos, but this is the first time I feel I need to leave a comment. I'm very pleased you're digging one shovel deeper this time. Pretty good explanations on some of the tougher theory behind this hobby. Keep it up!
🙌🙏
Great job! Keep it going.
It’s a pretty darn deep video to me 😂 have to rethink my design now thanks to you. Looking forward to the rest of the video.
Hope everything is going well! Love and miss your elegant videos and builds!
Very well said. Your informations and reviews on the product are amazing. That's cool! :)
Really like the new approach to building, the tech details are very much appreciated. I'm working on a set of bookshelves and couldn't settle on a design until I saw this. Please keep posting. -Green btw
These videos have been a lot of fun to put out! Good luck with your build!
Thank you so much for sharing your time and experience with us. Much appreciated. When can we expect Episode 4 to be published? Have a safe and wonderful weekend.
Bro , i love the in depth information . Keep them coming . And the dayton reference drivers really intrest me .thanks brotha
Good shit, Kirby. Even if you didn’t get deep into the weeds on the theory, anyone who is keen on building their own speakers will be able to dig down on the considerations you put forward. Thank you for taking the time. Don’t fret about the disjointed nature of the video, you covered a lot of ground and it probably could have blown out to over an hour. Can’t wait for the build video!
It was tough to keep it short! Haha thanks for watching my man 🙏🙌
@@KirbyMeetsAudio hey Kirby! I'm very worried about you. I hope you are doing well. Please let us know that you are OK!
Really enjoying the great collection of videos, makes speaker building very accessible to anyone starting this journey. Please do something on a set of small TV active speakers
wow, just fell on your channel and I love the builds. Any progress on this project? Any chance you're willing to offer the plans on your site afterwards?
It's strange. His activity seems to have abruptly stop 5 months ago around the time pandemic starts. I hope he's well.
I'm just an old fart in his garage looking for tips on making my first set of speakers cabinets. You're scientific and, obviously, a professional who caters to professionals, so no surprise your subect matter was above my head or need.... But you explained things so well that I stuck through a lot of it and really thought again about my speaker layout in the box (I was just planning the layout on cardboard). You're gifted! I've no need for your level of expertise, but I'm subscribing anyway becxause you deserve every subscribe that passes your way. Keep up the great work man!!
Look at the last action on his channel! He's gone since 8 months now! No one knows where he is or what is going on with him. I'm really worried about him. I hope he's well. But I pretty sure you won't get an answer...
I hope 2021 you will be able to get back to making more content. Sincerely from a new fan from 2020
Hi, Kirby! Great videos! Do you use any flexible sealing tape between the enclosure and drivers? I know it is a must for sealed designs but would you recommend using it also for ported enclosures?
I don't really have a favorite YTer who would like this, but I do have a few other Pro Audio engineers who I'll be sending this to. We don't do much, if any studio work, but we sure do enjoy watching this kind of stuff. Us Pro Audio guys (touring guys) like to get our hands dirty with building things, usually road cases. But you're making me want to give this a shot. Really enjoying this series.
Man I hope you come back to youtube, found your videos last night and have been binging them. The videos are informative and entertaining while making me recall my circuits classes in college with the crossover design ones.
Loved the more in depth video. Keep up the great videos.
Will do! Thanks for watching!
Dude! That was Great! I didn’t know shit about lobing. Thanks!
fun stuff! Thanks for watching!
Hey Kirby! I remember being quite exited for the build video, but we’re a year later and this is still the last vid. You still alive?
Finally real content for diy’ers! Any chance to include a video about rear tweeters and its crossovers? Also those ESS HEIL AMT’s. Thank you! Carlos
This is amazing info I am planning on building a tower speaker pair from scratch my own design with Dayton woofers and a hivi tweeter your info is amazing help
This is soo helpful. Thanks a lot! I would love to see a smaller studio monitor build on a budget tho!
Hope everything's good Kirby, I just stumble with this series of videos and just loved it, I'm starting to get into sound engineering, by myself, since I already have a producer and electronic background. Waiting for you upcoming videos, and hope to learn a ton fucking lot with you.
Please post soon, and possibly Andrew Huang might like to test the monitors, aye
PEACE.
When you'll start making it., Excited to watch
The build starts next week! I'll be posting the process on the KMA instagram if you want to follow along. Thanks for watching!
I am excited to see how these turn out! I am thinking I Would like to make them.
Mate, this series was such a great introduction to speaker building. You have a really great way of teaching and entertaining and I'm just shocked you didn't put out more content since then. I hope you are doing okay. Should you ever think about coming back to YT, don't hesitate!
This is awesome! 👍
🙌 Thanks! Big fan of your guys work 🙏
Great video.
Really enjoy your videos! Hope you’re well!
Thank you! You too!
KIRBY the internet needs you please come back
I watched the 1st one and thoroughly enjoyed . Now it seems you are hitting your stride. Please never delete these! they are a great resource. very entertaining. keep it up
I always thought that polar plot was the despotic leader of Cambodia. I guess you learn something new every day. :)
Does anyone know why this channel was abandoned?
Having spent a lot of time and money on studio monitors myself it makes me appreciate the factors that go into a high end pair even more. Thanks a lot for making a series like this. It is very interesting! I recommend taking a look to Neumann KH310 monitors for a little more inspiration on what a very flat mixing and mastering monitor is laid out like. AMT tweeters and a traditional cone midrange may not give you the fidelity you're hoping for (especially when it comes to the issue of lobing/stereo imaging). Consider swapping the cone midrange driver for a dome midrange (Dayton makes their own for very cheap). You may want to also consider an aluminum or woven alloy tweeter for enhanced accuracy. AMT/ribbon tweeters in my experience are not as nice to work on as a traditional dome tweeter (inverted or otherwise). Focal Trio6 monitors are known to have excellent sound in the air band thanks to their inverted beryllium dome tweeter. Keep up the excellent work, Kirby.
Thanks for the tips! I definitely want to test different driver types to see what makes the most sense. Thanks!
thats a matter of taste, matter of fact is there alot more amt/ribbon tweeters in pro studios then not. you can take that comment as you want, the amt air tweeter from eve audio/adam audio are among the best you can buy those for around 66$ each direct from the eve audio/adam audio companies. those tweeter will alsow alow you toget high end tweeters and be able to work longer whit no ear fattige, and even making a skeaper this caliber whit dayton units, wont go every well as thats budget hifi units
@@KirbyMeetsAudio do far field monitors next your biggest challenge in speakers trust me
I actually followed that🤯
Favorite Color: Orange.
Noiretblancvie has one of the best music/audio related channels around and may enjoy these very much.
dang, never seen somebody with a quarter mil subscribers just ghost everybody
Maybe he past and only he had his passwords. Entirely possible just saying... Hope that isn't the case. I was curious I even bought Dayton Audio & lepai while back for some android projects. Ended up reselling them but I'm actually more curious on building some nice small room sized speakers now.
Went and spent $300 on crossover parts and have them ready... where you at Kirby?
AWESOME
You don't have to apologize for being confusing or stumbling because if people don't like it they can just skip it. You are not live, this is a video. Keep up the good work!
Your timing in this project is interesting - I started a DIY studio monitor kit based on the Neumann KH310 nearly a year ago... Just now cutting down the enclosures... hoping I don't have to keep rebuilding the crossovers
Your videos are really good. I wonder if you could make a video about measuring speakers and what tools do you use for it.
I thought it's gonna a be a series about diy studio monitors, but thats definitely only a chitchat room with yourself kirby. thanks.
Bro learned a lot in past videos loved this series you are gem bro please complete this series u r amazing brother
Genuinely happy i found your channel... not only are the videos relaxing and enjoyable to watch... I get proper info dumps like this video...
I do maker stuff too, and I'm doing a speaker project pretty soon and i've been looking for information like this on best practices for speaker setup. So many other "DIY speaker" videos take no consideration at all for the internal and external shape of a speaker. Or just use the same sub tube channel as they do for any other speaker but they dont go into why they design that channel or the reason for the width of diameter of a tube....
While I dont need to go into the super super HIFI end of my design, I do want to find the best practices to avoid clashing frequencies and resonance to get as clean as I reasonably can get on my speaker design... So finding your informative vids is great.
Best video so far. Your making acoustic design a little bit more accessible to people. Maybe time aligned tweeter next build!
Hey, i love your work.
Need some help like in every direction of the speaker build.
How can i show my speaker design to you?
recently bought some used speakers hoping to replace the finish. Was hoping if you can make a video focusing on the type of vinyl or veneers you use and tips on applying.
looking forward to get the full plans to build these monitors
You had a hard time but it's te best baffle step explanation I went through so far.
Just wondering why you always shoot for a flat frequency response when you design your crossovers.
Hi Kirby, Great videos on the monitor speakers. You mentioned the possibility of doing a really inexpensive studio monitor build. I would love the see that is you have the chance. Thanks Steven
Awesome Videos, Im Very new to the speaker building and was wondering if you have plans to do a Line Array for a larger Venue setup?
Still rocking the hair. Keep up the content. So looking forward to something like this.
I'd like to see a mix of deep technical videos and light-hearted (?) build videos 🙂
So not only one type for a long period 🙃
Thanks for the technical stuff. I enjoy that stuff the most. My question is...does the distance between the tweeter and the mid driver matter when you sit further away from the speaker or is it only important in studio monitors?
So we've trusted you and are still waiting for "more videos to come"))))))))))) Hope, everything is OK with you and your family.
Hey man, you inspired us a lot to make custom speakers. We really hope you are doing well. Looking forward to see you soon with your talent.
