  • FEEL FREE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS BELOW. This acoustic cell phone amplifier is easy to build and increases the sound level by 8-10 db without requiring any power. With a clever port for running a charging cable, you can also charge the battery while listening to music. This is a quick project, requiring only a few dollars worth of material.
    Dimensions of each piece as shown in the diagram at 1:40 :
    Top Plate: 2" x 11.25" x .5"
    Front/Back: 3.25" x 11.25" x .75"
    Base pieces x 2 (before angled cuts): 2" wide x 2.25" tall x 5.25" long

    Great instructional video. I have seen several videos of this particular project, this one is the best I have seen by far.

    Very well done. Excellent walkthrough with examples and alternatives. I also appreciate the research by popular opinion prior to this filming. Makes me feel like I’m not just blindly trying to build a failure. Thank you Sir!

    Thank you for sharing! Great project! Thinking of building one but still unclear on several details. Is this amplifier for phones with two bottom speakers? The phones I've seen had only one speaker on bottom right.

    • @ToolMetrix
      @ToolMetrix  5 років тому +1

      Thanks for the nice feedback. It should work well with any phone that has at least one speaker on the bottom. Doesn't require two on the bottom. It will amplify the sound out both directions from a single speaker.

    Great little project thanks. However my iPhone X has a speaker on the front top centre and the other (for stereo) bottom edge to the right. So I’ll have to modify the design to get full stereo effect and put the phone in sideways.

    • @ToolMetrix

      Hi John, that'd be an interesting adaptation. It's funny; I have an iPhone X and didn't even realize that it had a top speaker until you just mentioned it. :) I'd love to see what you come up with.

    Great video, very thorough and easy to understand explanation. Thanks. Only one problem for me. I can't read the dimensions of the walnut pieces. It's too blurry

    • @bobbby303
      @bobbby303 5 років тому +1

      I just solved my "too blurry to read" problem. I changed my settings to HD and now I can read the dimensions easily. Thank you for sharing your project!

    Slight change to project for Iphone 6s Plus. Offset phone holder placement so that there will be equal amount of sound down each channel. The speaker on the Iphone is on the lower right side.

    Great video! Do you have any suggestions on how to cut the block for someone who doesn't have access to a band saw? Could it be safely done with a miter saw? Thank you.

    • @ToolMetrix
      @ToolMetrix  2 роки тому +2

      It works on a 12” miter saw. Handsaw would work fine as well.

      Taper sled on a tablesaw will work also.
