For approximately $80 plus the cost of wood and a few other parts, you can build yourself a set of budget 2-way stand mount speakers that will blow everything else available off the shelf away. These speakers are as good with music as they will perform in a home theatre setup, and will perform equally well as near-field monitors. Soundstage and imaging is excellent and the vocals are very neutral with a clear high end that is detailed and will not become fatiguing over time. Put them on solid speaker stands and they will give you a solid bass response that is not boomy and sounds just right.

These speakers would be great for a room or office. I heard some nice mids and lows. They look professional as well. Well done!
Thanks!
All are perfect. but you an easily design a PCB for cross over network for brand level finishing.. anyway totaly a great work
Absolutely Amazing Sound.
Thanks
Please make a detailed video for a 3 way bass reflex bookshelf speakers including details on its 3 wway crrossovers..
Excellent work!!!!. Greetings from Mendoza Argentina
Thank you very much!
The Dynamites are the second speakers I’ve built from your collection. They sound brilliant! Your crossover is spot on. I really enjoy your channel. 👏
Glad you like them! Thanks for the support!
When you really design the xover to get a flat response and the components use are meant for xover.
Wonderful creation!
Thanks
Lovely design and build. I really like the Overnight Sensations but always thought the tweeter was a letdown with just how good the HiVi drivers are. The Peerless is a much better match.
Thanks so much!
What is the 1sr port resonance frequency? Can you hear it at all?
Top notch build quality! Fortunately I have both units, I may try this near future. Thanks!
Thanks. Go for it!
Absolutely Brilliant 👏
I'm definitely going to try and build these. They look and sound beautiful very well done!
Good brother from India
Thanks
Beautiful build!
Thank you!
Outstanding.
Thanks
hello friend, I'm about to start a bookshelf project with these 4" woofers and I would like to know if in the video there is a subwoofer playing with the speakers or the sound is coming only from the bookshelf? thanks
only the bookshelves
Crossover how to get the parts and to put together?
Comprehensive Build plans available at soundblab.net/build-plans/
Sir only one question why you use resistor???if you use resistor to maintain tha woofer and tweeter sound output then one resistor is enough why you use two resistor
It is called an L-pad and consists of the two resistors. This configuration matches the impedance between the source and load.
Quality as always!
Thanks!
How do you find the customs and shipping costs? I'm in Jozi.
It's pretty heavy. It can easily double the price of what you are ordering. I have found though that ordering from Europe is now cheaper than ordering from the US.
They look nice, but how much watts of power they have? Can you measure that?
Thanks. I would rate these to handle around 50W (RMS). These might look small, but they definitely go more than loud enough for your average size room.
im cannot find information regarding the crossover filter.. what components should be used? are they part of the build plan schematics?
Everything to build the speaker is in the build plan.
Glad to see you're using proper PCBs now instead of a piece of wood!😂
He used a piece of wood in the video, no pcb😮
@@HBrsz yes, I guess my sarcasm didn't come through in my comment too well lol. I was amused to see him promoting a PCB manufacturer but not actually using one. 😜
I generally use PCBs for other electronic circuits, not for crossovers. I prefer point to point wiring for them. But I get it 😉
Hi sir. Looking for the plans on soundblab for this speakers, can´t corroborate that specs for the crossover are included in the item that describes build plan. Are this specs (crossover) included?
Hi, all the details are included in the plans, cut list, parts, crossover parts and layout. The plans are very comprehensive in details.
Nice Video very well done and explained helps new diyers like me to understand better. Had a question how would you compare to your 3 way omnidirectional build
Especially on the bass front and pressuring the room
Thanks! The bass output of both is more or less the same in terms of being able to load the room (as long as room is medium sized). But in the end I prefer what I hear overall from the Dynamites.
@@SoundBlab wow didn’t expect that. Thanks for the reply your input helps
Like one user requested a good nice line array and a superb BoomBox builds will be fun
For boom box something like a 2.1 or 2.2 using powerful Wondom dsp amps
I have a line array build coming up later this year. Stay subscribed to check ot out 😉
@@SoundBlab end of the year is too long I don’t know if I will live that long with the cases coming in my country
is it possible to use glue without the nail gun?
yes, just use lots of clamps
@@SoundBlab Ah, thank you !
for where i should buy this build
VERY ! Nice !
Thanks man!
Can you give measurements for diy speakers.
I think the idea is that you buy the plans!
@@richardhathaway2901 yes
Comprendo poco inglese I woofer che marca sono? te ne sarei grato. Comunque grazie e complimenti per il tuo lavoro come sempre di gran qualità saluti da Sorrento
All the links are in the description of the video.
which paint is used ?
Awesome
Thanks
That's a lovely build and a great sound (Sennheiser headphones at my end). It's like great cooking where simple ingredients, simply cooked, but with great care, can produce amazing results. What is the efficiency like, amp recommendation?
Thanks. They are not hard to drive. Prob around 85dB. Any amp with 20watts or more will be fine.
@@SoundBlab Thanks for that. I have a (kinda) "vintage" Musical Fidelity A1, which could be a good match here. BTW, have you ever thought about "branding" your built speakers? A friend of mine works in a company that makes small-run urethane domed stickers - a SoundBlab logo would look great on your finished builds.
I actually do have my logo in resin dome stickers, but I dont always remember to put them on. Some do though.
Looks same the as the bentley acoustics drivers
I am not sure, but the drivers I am using are from HiVi and Peerless.
Amazing value for money 👍👍
All sounds good apart from the violins that sounded horrible but that might be due to poor at source?
Thanks. I think it is down to my room acoustics that I have not quite sorted out yet since my move of house. But then again it is also difficult to judge via UA-cam clip. They are actually rather smooth sounding, even with violin music.
Violins might well have got distorted in the compression/UA-cam.
Thank you for an awesome channel.
My only other complaint is, now I want to build these 😁👍
👌👌👌👌
Thanks
Bro I am designing same speaker ......
😲😲👊👍👌
👊😎
Please do a video on Cross over making which was used in this video.
Hi, I am not a speaker builder, but I always wondered why people don't cut panels openings for drivers and terminal panel first? If you make mistake you only wasted one board instead of already glued speaker box. At least he cuts drivers openings before gluing, but then cuts terminal panel opening after gluing the back panel. Why?
amazing! could you maybe consider building some line array speakers maybe 5 inch drivers. cheers
Planning a line array, but it will be a bit different from the norm...
Awesome 👍🏻😉
They look amazing and surely sound so aswell! Thumbs up!
As I am new to this but am really keen on learning more about it, I would be really interested about the electronics you put inside of the speakers and to what their purpose is and how they work. Is there a video where you explain how that works and how to build something like it?
Any alternatives on the tweeter? This one has been discontinued.
Congratulation for these two little jewels, they sound gorgeous through my Hegel H80 and Dali Zensor 3
Thanks man!
they are sweet looking small size modern look. why dont u start sellin them. there is a big market for budget speaker that look amazing like yours
Thanks. I wish I had the time to take on such a venture. Maybe one day in the future.
What is Total cost to build this(only logistics price)??
😮 Excellent sound, just impressive!!! ❤️
can anyone that listened to these give a general price range of speakers that these compare to and how much money is saved by building tnese instead of buying a pair?
man, it is not all about saving money....
Even from video i can tell these sound really good.
Thanks
do you sell them as kit? I dont have any wood skill..... :(
Love your channel!! I'd like purchase from you plans for a portable bluetooth speaker, however a bit bigger than you built. Is anything like that coming any time soon in your videos. Thank you. Regards
Thanks. When you say bigger, what did you have in mind exactly?
@@SoundBlab I'd like to have more bass, so I've been thinking about x1 woofer, x2 midrange and x2 tweeters. To accomodate x5 drivers the enclosure need to be a bit bigger than for example your portable retro style boombox(which I very much like), however at the same time portable :) Please let me know if you have something like that in your mind. Thank you for your reply. Regards
I dont jave anything like that planned, but can look into ot for the future.
Clean sound like B&W.
great project. I am inspired and subscribed. You left them without any damping resonance material inside?
Thanks! Can't remember, but I would definitely have put something inside. I always do, perhaps I did not show it...
How do you determine the depth of the box?
I hope the speaker terminals were not ferrous.
I want to build the same can you guide ?
Sir,hide ur wires bellow the TV. then it will look more neat.🙂🙂
I’ve just moved into a new house, so after I have painted the walls etc. I can get to those small details. It’s not important right now.
I used that tweeter as a replacement for some vintage speakers where the tweeters had failed in multiple ways. The speaker sounds great and can get loud without being harsh. It's original midrange driver helped with that, having no break up until 8k which is much higher than what it would be crossed over at.
OMG !! These sound Fantastic !! Would love to see a Budget Home Theater Build using these Woofers. Keep up the great work Man. I'm now subscribed !
Thanks
Does anyone have frd and zma files for HiVi drivers? Can't find them anywhere
Get screenshot of frequency response and ...... Trace that SPL .....
And make sure response is at 85 db rated .......
( In this video response is 6 db lower )
Get manufacturer Z response
Can you make speaker for me
How much it cost?
Sounds great..can i use hardwood on the front? Or it will affect the sound?
Thanks. Yes you can.
Looks I'm going to be building some speakers. Better get the plans on order .
Agreed
Nice billed , I am looking for a LS50 wireless clone with a similar coax driver . That would be a tempting project. I travel a lot for work and would like a small hi end portable aktiv speaker 🔈👍🏻
how do you made crossover sir?
Very good question, nad I realized that almost all diy videos arelike ignoring most important part of the the build and thats the crossover calculating
nice build, as always, I wonder how important the brace is though, doesn't hurt of course, but for such a small enclosure and driver with that thickness of MDF I don't think it is necessary.
Thanks. Brace probably not that crucial, but the this driver can push quite low, so I wanted to make sure.
@@SoundBlab thanks for the measurements of rounded vs straight corners, I heard about it but I don't think I ever saw actual measurements. I use something in between for my designs.
Sure 👍🏻. Small drivers on larger baffles will show more variation, but for this narrow baffle, the difference is inaudible.
very interesting, thanks for sharing. I've never built a crossover. where is the crossover info regarding the process? Thanks!
Nice sound quality. What recorder did you use?
Thanks. I sometimes just use a Zoom H1, but this time I used two Behringer ECM8000 mics and an ART USB Dual Pre preamp.
How can i get the frd and zma file of that hivi speakers. Please reply.
is the plan includes the crossover?
Yes, the plan is very detailed and includes the parts list for the crossover and how to build it.
I bought the plans. I need some speakers for watching movies via projector. From almost infinite projects on the internet this one caught attention. The plans are very precise and looks like from HiFi audio magazine. Very nice concept. I cant wait to start building it and to hear it. I expect to build also subwoofer in the future. They are not entirely budget since its around 23euro plans, 200euros for speakers and crossover + 30 euro wood and another 30 euro for surface and 20 for sound dampening + terminals. Just to be aware that things changed. Im very curious if its gonna sounds better than Edifier S360DB what is very close competition.
Thanks for your support! These are great little speakers, I am sure you will enjoy listening to them. Yes, prices of components have risen in the last few years, but I think you will still end up with a better speaker than you can buy off the shelf, and be able to say that you have built them yourself 😊
They sounds great.
Thanks
Clean sound, very nice. Anyone knows the title of the 1st song?
Is there a special kind of paint for this?
No, I used a spray can filler undercoat, and a good quality spray can paint in the colour as desired, and then give it a clear coat of spray can paint to protect the colour. Multiple layers required with fine 320 grit light sanding in between.
Why didn't you mount the crossover components on a nice pcb?
Sir company name of these speakers
Links to the named drivers in the description.
Speakers 2/10. Cable Management 10/10.
Have to admit, these sound very nice. Low end is surprisingly good. Having bought the parts for DIY "speedsters" I have my doubts now :)
Thanks. The speedsters will be very good as it uses higher quality drivers that are much more expensive IMO. I think you will be happy with their sound in the end. More high end than budget, which is the difference in the end between the two. It's all about value for money, and I think you will get very good value from the speedsters if you pair them with good equipment.
@@SoundBlab Appreciate your answer. Yes, I'm planning to pair them with a decent amp, a vintage Pioneer A-717 (it drives my other speakers without issues - Canton Ergo DC -100) so it shouldn't be a problem
Can I ask the name of the gold tool you use please to start your hole?
How is the Name of this Wood
medium density fibre board
can you make a pair for me? i'll pay.
Great job, nice little speakers with awesome sound and nice woofers, i really wanted for my 4 woofer +1 Tweeter DIY Center Channel build.
Are using 2.1 setup with Sub or 5.1 setup ?
Is BASS coming from a Sub or speakers itself?
Can you teach us how to DIY CROSSOVERS please(or maybe site from where to lern)? Thanks.
Thanks. No sub, just the two speakers playing of a stereo amp.
Does it delivered in India too
As usual Perfectly handcrafted !
Thanks man!
I bought the plan a while ago and I want to start building them, but I'm unsure of the amp board I want to use. Is the Arylic up2stream 2.1 a good choice or does it lack the power? Could you help me with some advice?
Hi, awesome! The Arylic 2.1 will have more than enough power to drive these, and you can then also add a sub to fill in the low end a bit. However, these have pretty good bass for its size.
Hi...I am looking for stuff for this build. What radius is used for outer corners and what is the thickness of the boards. I want to make sure I can get everything before ordering the plans.
The radius is approximately 3/4 inch or 19mm and the board thickness is 5/8 inch or 16mm MDF.
Hi can you sell this to me?
i am planning to build something very similar but maybe with slightly different drivers how would i calculate the watts needed for the speakers and how would i find a good amp for them, also im planning on buying a premade crossover. how would i figure out what watts for amp and would it matter if the tweeter is different wattage to the woofer?
also is it ok if both the tweeter and woofer are 8 ohms?
Sony number one brand Sound Bar
Do you prefer a U-shaped sound or an even response? The mids seem a bit cold, but I guess that is probably just the second-hand listening through a video effect.
I usually prefer a slight U-shape, but this one it pretty flat. It is not that cold in reality, and sounds quite balanced. Even though I normally prefer U-shape, I tune each speaker to where I feel it sounds best. This does not always result in a U-shape response though.
sounds mostly like a empty kitchen. your listening space needs some improvements, too much of a small space hard echo to hear anything else :)
Yeah, it does. I just moved to a new house and have not quite managed to get it sorted.
Top !
Thanks
4 ohm tweeters with 8 ohm woofers ?
Yes, not uncommon at all.
@@SoundBlab So does it put a 6 ohm load on the amp ? Sorry , I have built a few speakers over the years but I am not an expert in electronics , always thought you had to use ohm rating equal to or higher than what the amp was designed for ?
Hi, what are the external dimensions of these speakers? I'm trying to decide between these and the Overnight Sensation speakers which use the same woofer. I love the look of yours. I suggest putting dimensions in the description as they can be an important deciding factor.
(W x H x D): 160 mm x 269 mm x 222 mm
it's very nice .... but i wanted you to paint it black .... but that's just me
Thanks, maybe a matt black.
Hi, Can you tell me how big volume is of each box? It looks nice, if this are not to big I will make them.
Hi, the dimensions are on the description of this page: soundblab.net/product/the-dynamites-2-way-budget-stereo-speaker-build-plan/
👌👌👌👌👌
👍
Hello,what i the impedance of the woofer 8 or 4 ohm,the tweeter seems 4ohm??
friendly redards
Lex
The woofer is nominal 8 ohms
Does the plan include the list of specific crossover components?
Yes, the plans are comprehensive and includes parts list and purchase links.
Very nice. I bought 4 of these HIVI B4N woofers. I'll be doing a TMM using a pair of Seas 27TF
Nice!
Hi mate, how do they compare to the c-note kit from part express ?
Have not been able to hear the C-notes for myself, so I cant really give you an informed opinion. However, the Dynamites is a very good speaker with good drivers, and the build plans gives you the option to tune the treble to your taste. The midrange is pleasant with remarkably deep bass for such a small driver. Overall the frequency response is pretty flat and well tuned for music listening. It is definitely one of my favourite builds that I have done, and have received good feedback from some that has already built it.
@@SoundBlab it seems that you did the crossover on xsims without off axis response, do you have a frequency response graph measured After you build it ?
I normally do yes, just to verify my results.
@@SoundBlab I've just finish the build, they sound awesome 🙂
Hi @SoundBlab I'm trying to build my first speaker with same drivers you are using, The issue is my 2.1 amp has 50 watt per channel.
I can see RMS of :
Hi-Vi B4N - 25watt
Peerless BC25TG15-04 - 50watt
So it is 75watt is im not wrong? can my 50w per channel handle your hardware configuration?
It will work fine
@@SoundBlab the math is not adding up. But i know I'm missing something. Can you explain?
