DIY 5.5" Bookshelf Speaker Build - Dayton Esoteric & Peerless

[@normalman6686]

Well done, enjoy your hi-fi. The way you held your free hand to protect the woofer cone in case the screw driver slipped while driving the screws is a smart tip.

[@jacobrandolph4199]

Every time doublsmm uploads, it makes my day! Hard work always pays off!

[@Doublsmmm]

Appreciate it, glad it does!

[@williamhacker9276]

I'm still impressed with the quality of these drivers, nice looking box by the way.

[@BEASTBOOST]

There nearly 300 bucks what do you expect 😂

[@Doublsmmm]

They are very nice components, that is for sure! Thanks for the support :)

[@livinglegend1110]

Is it just me or is it so soothing watching wood work

[@GPUtest]

Wow, it really shows how much effort you put into these things

[@Doublsmmm]

Thank you!

[@sgtgrash]

Thicker ply, especially for the baffle, would help reduce cabinet resonance as would acoustic wadding. From an aesthetic point of view some veneer would really make these pop.

[@DueM]

should pack some dampening inside the case and port them, will increase power efficiency and output. really nice job those turned out beautifully.

[@Toid]

The ported design will be on my channel soon

[@hieutruongle5235]

Love the way you used your finger to protect the driver when screw in!

[@johnjohnston6628]

About to build the Dinas And your build videos have helped out a huge amount with planning and ideas on mounting and getting them just right.

[@Unknownacc32]

Keep posting on ur accounts both cars and audio equipment, love it and the style of ur vids been watching since the start, hope ur well dude

[@Acoustic_Theory]

There needs to be a full write-up posted, with the crossover schematic, cabinet drawings, and measured frequency response.

[@dreamdiction]

Most speaker channels are actually woodwork channels.

[@Toid]

The plans for these are actually for sale. I custom designed these for both a ported and sealed arrangement. The 5.5" I would persoanlly go sealed, but the 7" will go down to around 35hz ported. These are both designed with a 3rd order on the tweeter to protect the tweeter and limit the distortion. There is a second order on the woofer, along with a zobel to control impedance and cone breakup. The result is a very detailed, low distortion speaker with a flat frequency response to 20khz.

[@thetigergamer4644]

Damn I'm starving for new videos, can't wait until the new system is completed ;D

Half way through a C-Note build. Can't imagine anything sounding better.

[@Laissez_Faire]

Great job 👍. Maybe some polyfill since that’s all I didn’t see go in. But great job on the wood work and the choice in speakers

[@Toid]

Great Video as always! I can't wait to see the Eso7's and the room reveal. That's going to be Epic! Really glad you're enjoying the sound.

[@paultomlinson528]

Look and sound epic

[@danhorton6182]

Nice work, but they don’t sound all that great. They sound extremely similar to the speakers in my iPhone. 😁 I’ve been meaning to pick up a pair of the Esoterics and play with them, but I have far too many nice drivers as it is. Did you line or stuff the cabinet with anything? How would you say they compare to other drivers of the large coil variety? Do you have any experience with Morel or Dynaudio? I have a couple pair of 5-1/4” drivers from each and curious if it would be worth going with the Daytons over those. Excellent work.

[@Filippoupolitis]

@@Doublsmmm your welcome. So i wanted to tell you this. For home theaer system i use the klipsch promedia gmx-a 5.1 version 2

[@ped-away-g1396]

nice design but there are a few flaws. - they seem to be sealed but the tweeters don't have their own separate chamber which means they might get pushed around by the pressure the woofers make. if their backs are not tightly sealed, i'm afraid they might not last very long and might produce nasty distortion during operation while they last. - the braces are symmetrical and are placed right in the middle of the box which means some resonances will be more pronounced than others. the size of a good brace should not be a multiple or sub-multiple of any other panel and should be placed in a way that makes the structure of the enclosure asymmetric so panel resonances are even out and kept below audibility.

[@Acoustic_Theory]

The tweeters used in this build are inherently sealed and self-contained; they do not require a separate chamber. It is rare to find a tweeter with an open back where it can be influenced by the woofer.

[@ivanfsgbg8291]

saw the video was finally up when it came out, but i was with a friend and so i couldn't watch it until now. sorry i'm late

[@Doublsmmm]

At least you watched it!

[@ivanfsgbg8291]

Doublsmm at least I saw it and it was epic. Love the vid

[@johnnymotors2023]

They look very good but why didn't you use the special tape that goes in between the speaker and the wood to lock in the air from escaping? And also you should do 2 coats of prime of white and then 2 coats of matt black and then 2 coats of lacquer and they will look awesome or instead of the matt black you can do the matt white and then lacquer. Trust me. Also don't forget to seal the 2 ports too on the back of the speaker. And you should put some foam on the walls inside the speaker.

[@Toid]

There's a gasket already on the woofers, so no need to add anything else there.

[@gerasimger15]

Your back!

[@Doublsmmm]

Hopefully!

[@AndreiT04]

i have 2 of theese in my car doors , they re not really car drivers , but they sound real good

[@cekpi7]

You can make these sound good in proper doors, most home speakers play in doors with no problems, you just need a lot of space.

[@Doublsmmm]

They sound incredible that's for sure!

[@justins.1283]

I used to use 6 1/2" radio shack woofers in the doors of my old Ford Pinto with piezo tweeters mounted on the A pillars. Also used 8" woofers in two 3 way cabinets I built to fit in the cargo area. Driven by a 50w per channel for front and a 100w for the rears . This was in 1981 before the big car stereo craze.
