Entre todos os vídeos de fabricação de caixa de som com Bluetooth o seu trabalho foi o melhor!!!! Como vocês diriam "good Job" !!!

[@itsrahulsonii]

Good job bro Added to 'to do list'

[@DonnyTerek]

Thanks bro!

Excelente, realmente muito bem feito, é uma terapia fazer estas coisas. Good job!!

[@irvansaifulloh9692]

THAT WAS A CRAZY BUILD! I LOVE IT!

[@goodgoat3096]

Another great project with superb documentation! Making smaller doesn't make things easier, but harder. Great work and thanks for sharing the details.

[@DonnyTerek]

Thank You! True, the size of the project does not necessary resemble its difficulty!

[@jameswang6310]

it s definitely beautiful about this kind of artwork, i totally respect

[@OG_ALviK]

Finallya found a video where i have the full list of parts that actually combine well. Just ordered all the parts, now im drawing the enclosure (becausei dont want mine look like crappy version of soundlink) and designing the board to connect all the parts via pcb.

[@dennisvanderben2719]

best small sized bluetooth speaker build on yt so far, best finish, has actual construction and not just wood+hotglue the crap out of everything, amazing!!

[@DonnyTerek]

Thank You so much!!

[@Chriziz]

@ Donny Terek you don't need to thank him cause its your work and your know how ... but at all its really good work thumbs up

[@peibloyuit4777]

Encantadísimo del resultado final, realmente un excelente trabajo, felicitaciones 👌

[@BarRYK333]

That's some damn fine craftsmanship if I've ever seen it.

[@DonnyTerek]

Wow, thanks! That means a lot to me!

[@Georges-MILLION]

Une réalisation parfaite !!! Bravo ! . A perfect realization !!! Bravo!

[@Erikdidit]

Nice build and plans!

[@sgcko7]

Thank you very much for this guide. I'm inspired and about to build my own speaker. Almost everything is clear except the step down voltage board how to configure it right and if any way how to test it before soldering to the Bluetooth module so I won't damage it if voltage is not ok. I would be nice to include these steps (those included in the video I'm just not 100% sure what to do) on the official guide you provided on the webpage so this guide won't be 99% but 1000% complete. Thank you once again

[@DonnyTerek]

Hi Stanislav! Thank you so much for watching and being interested in building your own. The main purpose of that step is to reduce the voltage from 12V to 5V. In the video I have used a power supply that can supply 12V, which I connected to the input of the step down module and connected a voltmeter on the output of the step down module. By turning the potentiometer I adjusted the voltage so that the voltmeter shows 5V on the output. After that you can solder the step down module's output to the isolated converter. It is not necessary to use a 12V power supply to adjust the step down module's output, you can solder the output from the BMS board directly to the step down module and do the adjustment of the voltage then. I hope this helps! 👌

Отличная работа!

[@chribzzz]

The only thing missing is the EQ settings you can program to the CSR chip. that would make it even better/worth the effort.

[@arniespace]

Nice! The wooden buttons are a great idea I have not seen before. You have a laser? The laser cut parts really make this build shine. Also, it's nice to see the use of epoxy instead of dreadful hot glue, love it.

[@onutrissu6019]

Great work and great plans! Will make it sometime. But 1 question. Are the 1 uF and the 470uF capacitors with the items?

[@creativechanel3238]

Buen trabajo 👍🏻

[@KolfMAKER]

Thanks Donny, this is the wiring diagram I am referring to. I took it from your Instructables page. I am sitting between all components momentarily to plan the construction of your speaker. Nevertheless, I still see a difference in the way you make the connections in your video and in your wiring scheme (both from your Instructables page). Can you explain the difference or point out which is the right one?

[@starx2779]

Wow this is AMAZING good job 10/10

[@OriginalgEd]

A very nice high quality build !

[@DonnyTerek]

Thanks!

incredible, you are a master, i start looking for a tutorial for change battery and speackers of my clone sound link and find this video, i will tray to get the parts on the links. Thank you for share this. All my respects for you.

[@DonnyTerek]

Thank you so much! 🙏 Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions, will be happy to help. I may do an updated version of this speaker.

[@joelmtz9815]

nice job bro

[@njfulwider5]

Great Build! Do you happen to have a link to the passive radiator? When you click it, it takes you to the little board instead.

[@abdulrohim1370]

ALEX SOUND как приятно когда ты встречаешь русских на иностранном канале!

[@cohlfavell1386]

Would it work as well as it does now with let's say, JBL xtreme drivers, mines broke but the driver's still work so I took it apart. So, could I use those and the parts in that to make a slightly bigger version of this?

[@fortres008]

Thank You!

[@MakerMark]

Hindsight is 20.20. could have just cut all the verticals on the laser and use contact cement to glue em. Nice build too. Might employ this technique soon!!

[@DonnyTerek]

Thank you!

[@alpheymanoj3361]

Nice work 👍I like it😎

[@MrAsed4]

So if i want to use a BT board that supports 3-30v input, that means i can ignore the step-down module?

[@DonnyTerek]

Yes, you are correct!

[@jormex86]

Very very good 👍

[@ethanarquette3924]

this is by far the best build i have seen so far according to what i want to build. how much did you spend for the electronics part of the build? what speaker drivers are those? how do you think this compares to a ultimate ears boom product line? because i paid around 100 for a ue wonderboom and i want to diy something better than that. i just paid 115 dollars for electronics on the build i want to do but im having trouble figuring out the size for my enclosure. i purchased two 4" dayton audio RS100's 4ohm 30watt speakers and the dayton audio kab-230v3 amplifier with the 18650 board to power it.... anyone know any proper dimensions for this setup enclosure?

[@DonnyTerek]

Hi! Thank you so much! I have spent around 50USD. The speaker drivers can be found in the video description. Unfortunately I do not have a UE Boom that I could compare to but there is no chance for a DIY project to stand against a commercial one. I guess you should check the parameters of the woofers, many times the manufacturer writes the necessary enclosure volume.

[@OwlShadow]

i cant describe how i like your builds it looks soo clean high quality.. this build is exactly what i want to make instant subscribe hope to see more nice projects like this

[@OwlShadow]

wooov!!!! tik dabar susigaudziau kad tu lietuvis :D gal dar turi fb puslapi? noreciau pafolowinti tave

[@DonnyTerek]

😄😄 Ačiū! Deja FB puslapio neturiu, bet komentarus visad perskaitysiu!

[@OwlShadow]

Donny Terek kaip stiprintuvo kokybe svarus garsas ar kaika kito pasiulytum pasieskoti? kiek panasiai laiko baterija ramiai klausantis? as truputi noreciau didesnes talpos, nekrenta garso kokybe likus mazai energijos baterijose?

[@OwlShadow]

ir da klausimas daugiau nekankinsiu diagrama aiski bet truputi nesusigaudau taip gerai elektronikoje koks ten veikimas vyksta step down konverteris kad tiektu reikalinga voltaza bluetooth moduliui o kam reikalaingas pries ji stovintis ne555 timeris ?

[@DonnyTerek]

Sveikas, rekomenduočiau paieškot ko nors geresnio ir brangesnio, šitą pasirinkau nes buvo maža vietos pačioj dėžėj. Baterija laiko labai ilgai, apie savaitę gali klausyt. Jei investuotum į brangesnes 18650 celes, klausytum dar ilgiau.

[@xereula1]

does it support aptx? I'm intrested in building a just like this, but upgrade tto BT5.0

[@sherwindy275]

You made me subscribe because of that project.

[@hongnhungchannel8435]

Nice

[@MErocle]

I love the case! P.S. but I don't think that is a good decision to use both channel with the same passive radiator

[@DaniMutaqin]

Hi why you addon resistor on your battery indicator..i got some problems for battery indicator..because my indicator work not same with my amplifier working.. If my amplifier was drop but my indicator still have a lights on.. The information from battery indicator not perfectly same with amplifier works..how to fix them..

[@osaka_87]

nice sistem! but,it is better to attach a low pass filter!

[@DonnyTerek]

Thank You! I might keep that in mind for a future project!

[@osaka_87]

Donny Terek I understand! Likewise!

[@MrUnzO]

how do you calculate the volume of enclosure with passive radiator?

[@HaimPeretz]

MrUnzO same

[@edism]

Probably didn't, lol

[@berinbosnjakovic2613]

does the pam8610 distort at high volume?

Can i ask for the last dxf file please? With the same size of front and back panel & panel holder, thank you

[@Rowbear1951]

Very nice project and it is going on the bench soon. Thanks for sharing and all the info. One question if I may. There seems to be an additional panel in your build that is not in the plans... and would you be willing to share DXF files for laser cutting as I am useless on computer drawing but have access to laser cutting.. Thanks for a great project.

[@DonnyTerek]

Greetings Robert! Thank you for your sincere comment. I have just uploaded the DXF files for laser cutting the speaker in my Instructables page, feel free to check them out! Good luck with your project!

[@Rowbear1951]

Wow thank you so much Donny. It is so much appreciated. Will post pictures and video of result. Thanks again and have a great day ;-)

[@aramberam1164]

Really nice! Will the same set-up also work with two 8V (4 Ohm) speakers ripped from an old JBL Flip 4?

[@DonnyTerek]

Thanks! The setup should work just fine with those speakers.

Great work bro!!!!! i want to know how do you engrave the letter to wood? anything to buy please upload the link..... :-)

To engrave it only you could also use a soldering iron and a steady hand!
