[@InsidetheBoothTV]

[@DIYGene]

I should have mentioned that it recharges with a included USB cable. And as always, thanks so much for watching.

Another nice one, Gene. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Roy.

Hello Roy, Thanks so much for watching!

[@zetaminor77]

Thanks for the video! Fyi, instead of lacquer thinner to clean the box, a little wd-40 would work, too. :)

[@DIYGene]

Thats a great tip. Thanks so much for watching.

[@teralandis3458]

damn that was SO freakin' NEAT ! Thank you bunches for the in depth "DIY" video...WOW ! ...I absolutely LOVED it ! 😎😎😎

Thank you and thanks for watching.

I love this Gene! I've seen you use this speaker before and I have wanted to buy a DIY ukulele kit and use one of these speaker kits in the uke kit for some multi-use cool art decor. I have an unopened uke kit just sitting around. I think it may be time to order the Rockler kit and give it a shot in a video. I've just about rebranded my Etsy store and KZbin channel to be the same. Getting rid of both names and they will now be one. I'll keep you updated. Great vid as always!

[@DIYGene]

I may do another video on painting the same box to be steampunk. On changing your channel name, now is the time to do it. Thanks again for watching.

Fun project Gene!

[@DIYGene]

Thanks Deb, I just realized I didn’t have a shop cat in this one. Thanks as always for watching.

[@richardbates2367]

I wonder how you would do with one of the many Bluetooth mp3 -mp5 multi media automotive car stereos a your choice of speakers in like maybe a small cooler or a plastic tool box and either a cpu or a Amazon type 12 v power supply and I wonder how it would turn out and what kind of sound quality and signal or wifi receiver reception it would receive just an idea gene sir.. think it would be a awesome fun project and a great video...

[@DIYGene]

That is a cool idea. Use like a 7” screen stereo. I may have to look into that. Thanks for watching.

Josée, this was a fun little project and I can’t believe I didn’t have a shop cat in this video! Thanks so much for watching my videos. I really appreciate it.

[@kylewilliams3306]

What plastic dimension ammo would sug that fit this PLMR60W on the front side by side 15”x8”Wx10”H or 14”Lx15”Wx15”H?

[@kylewilliams3306]

What kind of plastic ammo box size should I get 30mm,40mm 50mm for 2 6.5. 1/2 marine speaker to fit on the from side of the plastic box ?

What would be a good plastic box size should I get that fit 6.5 1/2 150watt speaker?

[@kylewilliams3306]

What would be a good knife should I use to cut 6.5. 1/2 round circle on a plastic toolbox?

[@DIYGene]

Hi Kyle, I used an X-Actio and a retractable blade to cut the holes. Just take your time and do several passes.

[@blackeagle3.55]

Nice

[@DIYGene]

Thanks so much for watching.

[@kylewilliams3306]

I was woundering 6.5 150watt white plye hydra marine speaker would fit on a plastic dry storage marine box 15.13x7.88”Wx10.3”H on front side by side?

[@DIYGene]

Hi Kyle, I’m not sure about the overall size of that speaker. I would suggest if you have a Harbor Freight in your area? They have a nice selection of these boxes. Also Northern Tool has these too.

[@michaelgreen7484]

Great idea. Doesn't this need some kind of a battery though?

[@DIYGene]

No! it comes with a USB cable to recharge. You can keep it in the box. I should have mentioned that. Thanks so much for watching.

[@leonardobatistarocha7956]

Oi gene tem como você me mandar aqui em Valinhos interior de SP essa caixa de som

[@medmusic7977]

Nicely done sir ! Those bluetooth boards are all awful, u only listen to like 40% of the song’s quality, i used a board that got wifi, the quality is as good as an aux cable connection. But not as good as a Blu-ray player’s sound. I guess in the future they gonna add wifi to all bluetooth systems and add a zero to the price and call it next gen. Edit : Id recommend old 8ohms full range tv speakers also, they’re really great for listening

[@DIYGene]

I have a Bose bluetooth speaker that sounds incredible but I had to pay $275. for it. But for $25. this one sounds pretty good. Technology is changing so fast. I can't keep up. Thanks so much for watching.

[@medmusic7977]

@@DIYGene even at 400$ with the best bluetooth amplifier you’ll still lose half the quality lets not even talk about 128kbps mp3 songs hahaha you’ll hate it, so what they do in most bluetooth speakers is give it more watts so that u dont notice a difference, try to listen to a song in bluetooth on the same amp n at same volume and then try to listen to it with aux cable or wifi because its lossless, you’ll hear a big difference, btw the one i used in my build is the Arylic Amplifier Board with WiFi and Bluetooth 5.0, i saw it on a Wifi speaker build on KZbin check it out if you want. And yes your speaker sounds great for the price, but still all bluetooth speakers sucks compared to wifi except if its a gigantic speaker box, then u wont notice anything

Minha Vida É Viver Na Estrada Mauricio & Mauri Composição: Ivone Ribeiro / Joel Marques No dorso do asfalto, dentro do meu caminhão Sou caminhoneiro, eu sou peão A minha vida é livre feito um pássaro no ar Eu não tenho pressa de chegar O laço da saudade não me prende o coração A cada dia eu vivo uma paixão Eu solto na banguela, deixo a vida me levar Amando sem querer me apaixonar Minha vida é viver na estrada Em meu caminho brilha o sol da emoção O meu coração é fera que nunca foi domada No rodeio de uma paixão Nas curvas do caminho vou deixando a solidão No rádio toca sempre uma canção De dentro da cabine sou pedaço do motor Piso fundo com cuidado no acelerador No rastro dos pneus deixo o passado para trás E a cada dia eu vivo um pouco mais Domando o meu destino com a fibra de um peão nas rédeas firmes do meu caminhão

[@hulksta3223]

No offense, but it seems that maybe using a hole saw would’ve been much safer due to your shaky hands. I was getting quite nervous watching you use the blades.

[@DIYGene]

None taken, I have what’s called Essential Tremors. But I wanted to try using the least amount of tools for this project. Thanks for watching.
