Hi everyone! Thanks for tuning in to this project of mine, I hope you'll like it and perhaps try to build it yourself! As always I have included a detailed list of modified plans, a wiring diagram, product links and much more for your information on the build. I encourage you to check my video first before diving in to the build. Let's get started!
I hope you liked this project and perhaps learned something new! My hopes are that you will give this build a try yourself ! Feel free to post any questions or comments down below, I will try my best to answer them.
Thank you for tuning in to this project of mine and I will see you on the next one!

[@zedingk9764]

Looks great! a lot better than before, especially that carbon touch, was really worried about the volume knobs hitting the wood but turned out the be great.

[@DonnyTerek]

Thank you a lot! Yeah I was afraid myself that the knobs would hit the panel but it turned out great.

[@user-sr7fo5fe6x]

Carbon Vinyl Wrap looks excellent. Should have done the whole thing in the wrap. I'm going to fix up my speakers with that wrap now.

[@matthewj.hullbasbmf5001]

Outstanding repurposed subwoofer. I’ve done similar with an old Bose Acoustimass and a Polk subwoofer. These new inexpensive Chinese plate amps are great for projects such as this one.

[@DonnyTerek]

Thank you! Exactly!

[@slimjim1104]

Only downside is they dont have the dsp tuning made for the driver but still a great way to bring a good little sub back to life.

[@vinukaushik29may]

Legendary subwoofer from Logitech!!

[@DonnyTerek]

The best!

[@fondu-design]

I picked up the EXACT same sub woofer from hard rubbish and, after I figured out it was originally part of a Logitec-only set, realised a separate plate amplifier might save it: I'll be following your steps to the letter (although I might respray the cabinet along the way). Thanks for this!

[@DonnyTerek]

That's a great find! These subwoofers are amazing to this day, hope yours turns out great.

[@tomatoplot]

Cool project! I recently got this same subwoofer for cheap at a thrift shop. While it works fine, I decided to turn it into a sealed subwoofer, to get more even frequency response, and a tighter sound. Tore out the port, added some foam padding to the interior walls, and covered the port hole with a piece of plywood. Sound much better than before!

[@DonnyTerek]

Thanks! Would love to hear the difference to the ported enclosure!

[@tomatoplot]

@@DonnyTerek Would be hard to record it directly with my equipment, but as you'd expect, it's a flatter and punchier response. Loving it!

[@hardystein114]

Very well thought out and built to a high standard , nice !

[@DonnyTerek]

Thank you! Much appreciated.

[@simeondonev3824]

The lovely radiotechnika (supersound) woofers!

[@waltergeldof4923]

What a great job that you and your colleague are doing together to restore all that old active sound box with amplifier. When I see how you work, it gives me the feeling,,,, This is also something for me to restore all those antique sound boxes in no time to almost as new. Good job my friend. Thanks for sharing this interesting video 👍👍👍😎

i hv z906 for years n broken last year. recently i bought a pair of klipsch 620f n i thought the bass is already too much, until i hook my old z906 sub together.. damn it sound more awesome n ground shaking with sub

[@nothingmuch100]

I've been watching for a while now and honestly I rly like ur audio vids its helps me carry on my passion of designing and creating speaker and audio things

[@DonnyTerek]

Wow, thank you! Would love to see your builds.

Hey donny I'd like to ask what are some pro tips you could give

[@bigbro1969]

Sir this is amazing and to be very tru I am inspired from your videos and started making small unit as of now. I will up load the making video shortly

Thank you so much sir! It means a lot that I have inspired you to build your own.

[@0u1canc1v1c]

It was beautiful. Good project as a Z2300 user. Spectacular.

[@DonnyTerek]

Thank you very much!

[@MrCrofty1993]

Nice work I would have done the from with the carbon fibre vinyl to

[@patrikdrumm4007]

Very good work, men!!! Thank you for your inspiration!!! I also have a defective 2300er subwoofer ... Hmmm ... :-) :-) :-)

[@whynotsak3313]

Its better just to fix it. Let it with the original amp. The original amp is way better because is AB class plus it have proper power supply. If u want Bluetooth feature just add Bluetooth module on input. I want to say great job but in next projects try to use better amp and u will see the difference.

[@Habibulla.M]

Super. I am loving it❤️

[@DonnyTerek]

Thank you so much 🙂

[@dbyoltech9225]

Nice!

[@keithbartlett7679]

Nice work.. such an elaborate way to repair a burnt chip amp.

[@DonnyTerek]

Glad you liked it!

[@BootJamesOut]

Information very important do you know the clip that is known to go? Where to look on the plate amp?

[@primecost1881]

These oldes Logitech z2300, z2200, z680, z5500 was using very good and really powerfull amps.

[@Ghostmjs5692]

Just got me a set from a garage sale today was rockin a z313&323 combined 2 system before tht was 150 an mannnn the 2200 is a huge difference!!

[@SpecialOne-wu4tk]

Donny you're absolutely fabulous

[@paulogilvie7072]

Thank you, Interesting build. I have one of these also but the sub channel stopped working (was down to a whisper. Tried to figure out what was wrong but have no idea so replacing the amp seems like a great idea, make it blue tooth also. Any reason not to rebuild a bigger speaker box and put everything into one rather than using the original sub box? Interesting to see the comments about the original satellite speakers not being up to par.

[@DonnyTerek]

Thank you for watching! Glad you liked the video. I guess you might have a dead chip on the amp just like I did. That's why I got this sub for real cheap. Though I decided to go with a 2.1 Bluetooth amp to be able to connect a pair of speakers as well. Personally I don't see a point of rebuilding the sub enclosure since it has a great and compact design. It could use new paint or veneer on the outside though.

[@IrreverentSOB]

Very nicely done !

[@DonnyTerek]

Thank you very much!

[@sidneyalves1556]

[@miketownsend927]

How did you hook this up to your stereo L & R speakers?

[@abdomination]

this is so fuckign cool.. and you just posted it last week haha.. amazing.. I'm picking these up whenever I can and this is awesome. I am using one of them right now in my car for the bass. got it connected to a power inverter and a bluetooth adapter.

[@DonnyTerek]

Haha, thank you so much bro!

[@JustAnotherAsianGuy2]

very professional .... i like it

[@micling2199]

my Z636 Logitech sub has a RCA L/R aux input on the back. Could I theoretically use a Y splitter to connect to the L and R aux input on the back of the sub and then run to the LFE output on a receiver and use this sub for home theatre use? Just disable the speakers by unhooking the negative wire on each internally yet still use the volume control on them. This way the LFE signal is only being output by the subwoofer. Do you suppose this would work?

[@KingMinhvuong]

Excellent work. Very nice subwoofer!

[@DonnyTerek]

Thank you! Really appreciate that 🙏

[@babiigrump]

@@DonnyTerek your project was great 👍👌😀 I have one laying around the house but mine still works. I have a Logitech Z5500 subwooer only it works I just have that. Can you do a video on that or have you try to make the whole part you did an just sale them pre-made an just have ppl do plug an play 😁👍

[@DonnyTerek]

[@deadpoollocomydude7842]

Very cool and good that you reused any old sub and make it new but you should have put a bigger amp in it but that is my opinion

[@danielfirmino458]

Muito legal 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Poderia ter envelopado a caixa toda ...

[@WarmSpringsWarriors]

I have a old THX logitech 5.1 and its still working. I tried upgrading to the newer version of sub with controller but they removed the extra line in, so I went back to the old system. Mostly because they downgraded the subwoofer design. Paying more for less sound quality was the products Logitech was making before they left Fremont to Newark.

[@JacobMendozaArellano]

Excellent and very professional work, congratulations

[@DonnyTerek]

Kindly appreciated, thank you!

[@DonnyTerek]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@ToniLixSim]

i have 6 of them logitech :) they are super,, but again i open and make it with new cable to connect other bigger subwoofers with their amp. and stereos edited, they are just nice and strong amp on it

[@DonnyTerek]

Very nice!

[@LandrynexOfficial]

This is Z2300, one of the best Logitech subwoofer's. But you transformed it

[@Domaudeo]

Great job! I love the "carbon fiber" finish! Could you keep the original internal toroidal transformer with bridge rectifier to avoid using those noisy switching power supply brick?

[@DonnyTerek]

Thanks! I guess it is possible to leave the internal transformer, just not sure how it could be converted to DC.

[@Domaudeo]

@@DonnyTerek you can do a very simple bridge rectifier with only two cheap electronic parts: a diode bridge and a capacitor. Also some amp board sometime can take ac voltage directly as they have the bridge rectifier onboard.

[@DonnyTerek]

Hey that's a great idea. I might use the old amp for a different sub or vice versa.

[@4uSajankumar]

Which remote is that? Does it come with the chinese board... Pls reply bro.....

[@VictorGonzalez-hh1ir]

[@slimjim1104]

Def done similar to old subs myself. With cheaper subs the amp is always the weak spot. Although it looks like it used a solid torrid ab design in the og setup.

Bc of that new amp board, can you now also use this sub as a .1 in a 5.1 setup, connecting it to the sub pre sub out port on a receiver?

Hy i have a boat soundbar model 2050. The subwoofer has 6 inch 80w subwoofer can i upgrade the subwoofer to 6 inch 100w or above ? How much max voltage subwoofer I can upgrade without burning the cicuit?

[@yttean98]

Recycling, that is the way to go. The Logitech Z2300 subwoofer still has a lot of life to it. I was thinking of using mine, alas I gave it away. Lots of second-hand units around, cheap, buy 4 units make them 2 woofers in push pull, and 2 separate subwoofers in stereo mode I believe the sound will be awesome.

[@DonnyTerek]

This is definitely still a powerful sub and can pack a serious punch.

[@umbrefawx]

I still haver mine but i'm still trying to find the orginal remote for it, hard to come by and pricey for a working one, ive considrred converting mine for just that reason.

[@user-sr7fo5fe6x]

Totally impressed. Noob question. Why did you not use the toroidal? Seems a waste of a nice toroid.
