Hi!
Thank you for checking out one more project of mine. Hope you like this one! Full build plans, parts and tools lists are located in the next steps!
This time I decided to make a non-battery powered speaker that would mostly be used in my living room. I went for veneered sides and a faux leather wrapped front panel. To my eyes and ears the speaker turned out great. I really dig the wood-leather design that got me inspired when I saw the Focal Aria 906's.
Thanks for watching!

[@DonnyTerek]

Thank you!

[@dextertracycanete9234]

Beautiful. I'd prefer the tweeters to be on opposite sides and far apart though, so as not to lose the stereo separation.

[@jimsdad3739]

Bluetooth does transmit stereo does it?

[@Mr.Engine993]

@@jimsdad3739 yes it does

[@OmerTheGreatOne]

It is a mono bluetooth reciever: 8:58

[@DamianB82]

@@OmerTheGreatOne Up2Stream Amps are capable of both Mono and Stereo. This could easily be made stereo and only difference would be making a pair of crossovers and few more cables. I'm not sure one on video is mono tho, part list shows 2 crossovers so that could mean this is actually stereo setup.

[@euroshopperbier1337]

you will never get stereo out of 1 small box. Maybe if you tape it to your face..

[@lumostoria8512]

Hi Donny, very nice build! Question regarding the remote control: Does it work through the plexi at the backside of the box? I finished my first boombox last week, using the Arylic Up2stream Amp 2.1 board. The board has a 9pin breakout connector where you can connect an external IR sensor. I used a standard LED-shaped one with 38kHz 940nm and put it in the front panel. Works perfectly.

[@DonnyTerek]

Hi! Thank you! Glad you liked the video. Yup, the remote does work through the plexiglass. Though I didn't check on how far the remote can still work.

[@Colleen-Pearce]

Seeing you can always warp the enclosure with leathers perfectly, that blown me away

[@gaarcemail]

Dam! even through my tv, this sounded amazing. The bass sooo good to the ears, no distortion, sharp and strong, just beautiful.

[@DonnyTerek]

Thanks!

[@samd3231]

J'adore regarder ce genre de vidéo c'est toujours très intéressant bravo l'enceinte et superbe

[@RW_CreativeMedia]

[@DonnyTerek]

Thank you a lot! Will try making a few more in the near future.

[@sailegifted6960]

I also agree friend, This was amazing!😍👏👏

[@TheSpotify95]

This is a pretty neat little speaker build! One of the best ones I've seen. Good job. Only thing I might have done is added a battery pack, so you're not tethered to a 24V DC power supply.

[@DonnyTerek]

Thank you! I did consider adding a battery pack to make it portable but since my intention was to only use it inside, powering it with a 24V supply is convenient enough. It also saves some space and overall dimensions without the battery pack.

[@idrisjones1453]

@@DonnyTerek you could do what I did . By using my 18v cordless drill battery externally via a 3d printed battery adaptor ( plenty of choice for most popular brands) use an in-line fuse & terminate lead with your specific power plug. & Job done it's portable, you will lose a little output power due to the lower 18vdc input.

[@DonnyTerek]

@@idrisjones1453 That is a really good idea. Being able to use a single battery pack for other devices other than power tools is great. The speaker would look a bit bulky with the battery on the outside but at least it would be portable.

[@kotogray8335]

Great job, but you already know that! Love the way it looks and with 100 watts I'm sure it sounds nice too

[@copetimusmaximus3363]

Thank you for the video, shows how to make and decorate the speaker boxes in detail. Couldn't find the schematics following the link. Another thing, for a stereo speaker it is a bad idea to place tweeters one right next to the other, this way there will be no stereo effect.

[@alanasmusichd7482]

Those two tweeters in the middle don't give wide stereo, but great build as always 👍

[@dizzze]

They dont give stereo at all

[@DonnyTerek]

Thanks! The speaker does sound great as a center speaker as I intended it to be. I could have mounted the tweeters on the sides of the panel but did not want to keep a blank space where the amplifier goes 😄

[@xluumu]

@@DonnyTerek If you are using it to play a single channel, as in a center channel, using two tweeters and two midranges does not make sense. A single tweeter and a single midrange would sound much better.

[@wynton416]

Not only that. I don't think this guy heard of comb filtering. Good build though.

[@vulcano911]

Really cute system

[@See_Sharp]

Will sound like mono speakers as the tweeters are very close to each other. Stereo imaging is about separation of left and right speakers.

[@observenotify8604]

Excellent beautiful finished. But: for any modern sound box or speaker cabinet, it's not compulsory, but it's much better to have atleast two bass boosting passive radiators of the same diameter of the woofers fitted.

[@jwinklies]

Basically the most incredible I've seen in my entire life. And I do some serious woodworking. I'm super in to speaker systems too so this is my whole world perfected.

doing kind of a wacky bluetooth speaker build out of one of those old massive lense flashlights with a single 5.25” coaxial. looking for a simple 25-30w mono w/ bluetooth capabilities. any recommendations on where to find an amp board?

[@ramesanrameshpaul3416]

Wow, amaizing in making work. 🌹👍🌹

[@DonnyTerek]

Thank you!

[@anthonysilva5312]

Great job! With all that work I probably would’ve sprung on better drivers. Also countersinking the plexiglass in the back would’ve been a nice look.

[@DonnyTerek]

Thank you! Did not want the build to go over the roof with the price of more expensive drivers.

[@14880evilmonkey]

Daytons stuff isn't too bad tbf Heard some fairly high end sounding systems using Dayton drivers... At the end of the day the amps crossovers and box design play a massive role in a speakers sound

[@wutthichaikhattalo1566]

Great job. Can I ask what is the foam (at 8:43 in the video) that you have rapped around the wires called or where can I get it.

[@DonnyTerek]

Thank you! These crossovers came assembled and already wrapped in foam. I'm actually not sure where you could get the foam, I guess an option would be to get some adhesive foam and wrap the cables in that.

[@samjose11]

hi Donny, i m really interested in making this speaker, but wanna use a setup that utilises 6inch wooferx2 , 3inch midrangex3 , and 1inch tweeterx2 with a continuos 120 w power output. with a similar amplifier like u have used , but with my specification. can u help me with the cabinet dimensions and its port dimensions?

[@fantastic7231]

Really best good working speaker bt diy kit.

[@hypnoticatrance]

Nice made, but there will be not much Stereo on this. But it could be used as center speaker.

[@nikhilmulay]

Why two tweeters? It would cause a lot of issues with comb filtering. Really good workmanship!

Thank you! I just wanted to experiment.

Thanks ! How is the sound compared to isetta ? I’ve just made a little speaker with my child from your instructable few days ago. There will be an instructable for this one too ? Are you sponsored by arylic ?

[@DonnyTerek]

I can't make a direct comparison to the Isetta now since I do not have it anymore. I would say that I like this speaker more due to the 2-way speaker design producing clear highs and decent bass response. Hey that is so cool that you made a speaker using my Instructable. Yup I just uploaded the Instructable for this one as well. I am not sponsored by them, just testing their boards out.
