love emma cruises. great video and keep on cruising!

Super excited. Sept. 7th, yaya!

This was really helpful, thanks man.

Hi, is this the North Bridge Run or Hadley Station Run? I am choosing between the two routes.

Do you really recomend this stereo? 50x4 watts Not Hot and off?

Is there digital equalizer on the screen?

Didn't know you had this channel, Tom. Thanks for the link from PE.

Bought one as replacement for my Sony that has issue with USB port. Well i went with this one, because i could not justify purchasing again Sony and to pay more than i paid 10 years ago. This one is well made of Chinesium worked for a month, video playback would work ( no 720p support ) but suddenly after just two months it just freezes when i try to play video file. And the sound sound is just horrible, it burned one of my SD cards. Overall cheap Chinese crap, i really do not think it will last a year, well it will do until i buy another quality mp3 player.

I'm in!

Can you upgrade firmware on these, and how?

Is there a button while you are listening music via mp3 to change to album to the next one?

Zarbo is my favorite!

Nice job.

Has display off?

The sound. I know what you mean. It's crazy how a couple thousand bees sound.

Molto belli e soluzione interessante

what grit sandpaper are you using to work the edge?

you might try going around that edge with screwdriver shaft. i find it sorta "tucks it in" and sets it. then i light sand as you did.

What grade sandpaper?

Thank you very much. Your fine instructions were clear and much appreciated.

I dont have the option to go to any sort of home screen on this radio. Its just aux, bluetooth, radio and settings for me. How do I get what you have?

Even after just a couple weeks you can feel MDF endgrain raise up. I sanded my speakers flat and now I have to do it again lol. Also using 3m glazing putty to help eliminate the endgrain line

Does anybody tried to play m4a files on it? Does it have AAC (m4a) file support?

I'm your biggest fan. 🤓

Very nice work, just what I needed. Would like to see a pick and products on ur finished build. Just realizing store bought products leave alot to be desired.

hello, how to fix this?

How many watts is this? It can drive a 250watts speaker?

What about this subwoofer?

It is definitely a problem with contact cement also.

found this on diyaudioforum, may i say, this is one of the simplest videos on this subject ever. how you dont have more audio videos on the other channel amazes me considering how well regarded you are in the diy audio community

duh

I am definitely subscribing! If I can help out in any way, please let me know. I'd be happy to help anyway I can.

Great info as I just bought a camper van with this radio , all is working well but the bluetooth mobile I can receive a call and hear it all ok but they can't hear me does this mean I have to buy a mic , I thought the mic was built in any info would be very helpful thank you.

Thanks b

Great vid. Thx for sharing.

I really like the Woodprix plans.

good luck

I found some amazing plans for Woodglut. Just check them out.

Good luck. There isn’t a lot of audio DIY content on KZbin. Wood working specific to speakers is very helpful. But so is electronics. Especially being able to give people confidence to start a project.

Nice guide, thanks! exactly what I was looking for 🙂👍

Noah had a question on current draw while powered down since the screen stays on, I'll put the comment here so all can easily see: I put the radio on the bench and powered it up again to see what the current draw is with it powered down. Here is what I found: *With the unit OFF but still connected to power (red and yellow leads) it drew around 200 mA as the screen was still active displaying the time. *With the unit ON (FM Radio) and the volume down it drew around 400 mA (to simulate the unit running, at a low volume) *With the unit OFF (No Screen Showing) and the red lead disconnected (similar to the ACC being off in a car) but the yellow (memory) lead still connected, I only read between 0.01 and 0.00 mA. So the power draw was so low as to be basically nil. So basically, in order to use this in a boom box/table radio type of situation without killing the batteries, you would have to put a switch on the red lead and power that down so just the yellow/black leads were connected. I confirmed that this held the settings and drew basically no current. A bit inconvenient to have to turn a switch on and then turn the unit on, but in order to preserve power when you're not using it, I guess that's what we will have to do. Thanks for posting the question!

Thomas, read with great interest your thread about this line of SWM units on Parts-Express. Amazing how far Chinese consumer electronics have come in the last 10 years. $30 for this thing? Both cool and a little frightening they can hit that price point with these features and decent quality and still turn a profit (the state subsidies and currency manipulation help of course...). Has anyone figured out a way to power down the unit completely (no standby screen/clock) without losing the memory? Concerned about battery drain in a truck that might not get driven for a few weeks at a time. In automotive, anything more than a 40-100 mA cumulative draw in sleep mode is going to tax the charging system. I read you measured this unit has a 280 mA draw in standby -- way too much. I guess for $30 you're not going to get world class circuit engineering? ;) Maybe wiring in a capacitor or a coin type battery for memory retention? But that's a pretty big screen to keep powered up. This unit is so close to being exactly what I was looking for: - Single DIN - Rotary volume knob - Aux input - No cheap chrome plastic trim - No annoying frou frou like dancing dolphin animations (i.e. Pioneer DEH series) - No branding Only issue is the standby mode and memory retention issue.

On the diagram there is one wire that says steering wheel input what is that . Can i use my steering wheel buttons to control the unit ? Is there a way to wire it in ? Does this support steering wheel input ?

How thick is your veneer?

Thanks for the heads up on the end grain swell.

u know where i can find user manual?

I noticed you keep placing your camera on the left side. Does it mean the screen is not visible from the left side? I had one of these and can't view anything on the screen from left side. Can you confirm if the view is the same from both sides?

How do i turn off the display? When igual turn off the stereo the clock stay on screen how i turn that off anybody knows?

Wow, computer speakers. Umm thats not going to put out much BASS. Not when your used to 32k watts and 6 18" subs. No I'm joking but that's what I used to do in car audio. Dam van hit 157 spl at the windshild. No I was watching a guy use tightbond II and an iron to bend the bend on the long grain side the same way. In fact looking at the mass produced end table next to me they bent the wood both direction and on all 4 rounded over conners. So it can be done. I think i would have used a full sheet. Impressed you used mdf. Im not that big on looks my 12" just going to get painted i used used mdf. That had paint on it. I might wrap it in vinyl or somthing i used a lot of screws. Dont want to risk a router bit on it not a whiteside. Also its down firing its going in a conner at the back of the room where you wont see it. The 12w3 JL audio sub with a 400 watt amp should hit pretty hard. Not bad for a home theater room. It really might be too much bass for this large room. If not ill make one for the 15w6. Almost rather have a 10w7 and 1000 watts. In a ported box all 3 versions.
