2.1 Bluetooth speaker build part 2

[@Miguvideos]

Hey man, craftsmanship it's a thing you learn with time. Your project is really nice! All of us builder struggle with getting it to the next level. There's a lot of people that like "not perfect" handmade pieces but I think you and me, and many others of course, want to hit that perfect build. Try over and over again, I guess! Keep it up!

[@antoinec.142]

I am french and i love this build Amazing video !

[@craftedworkshop]

Nice work man, turned out great!

[@davekimball3610]

Beautiful piece. Can you give us some details n the electronics you used?

[@Erikdidit]

I updated the video description

[@3rutu5]

Funny how you seem to be the only person who has attempted a kerfed speaker. I have watched this video a few times and from my previous kerfing experience decided and did bend a piece of 180mmx19mm pine 180 degrees at both ends to make something similar to yours :) I really want to make a custom face plate but dont own a thicknesser or jointer, so will look more into alternate methods. I have put mine on diyaudio. Love your work!

[@marian75m]

Hi ERik,could you make a list of the pieces you used and the measurements? Beautiful work!

[@Erikdidit]

+Motoca Marian yes, I can try to remember to do that

[@Erikdidit]

Sorry about the late reply, but the components I used are in the video description.

[@ashitanojoe69]

You did a good job. The only one thing is the foot base. I personally dislike it because it is just unmatch with speaker design. Anyway, you do something similar job and nice to see how you worked for it. Good luck.

[@Erikdidit]

Yeah, I agree. As I wrote in the video description the legs are too skinny and the cabinet too bulky.

[@rafikouzrourou]

Hi Erik, awesome and very nice project. How to service in case of failure considering that you've glued the face and back plate?

[@Erikdidit]

+Rafik Ouzrourou thx! It is not optimal to glue both faces. Hopefully it won't fail :)

[@ThEASbO]

I can't believe I didn't see these videos before!!! Excellent work Erik!!

[@Erikdidit]

Im glad you like it!

[@rolandoc1208]

That really is a work of art. Could you add dimensions and parts list? How many slices per corner bend?

[@Erikdidit]

Thanks! I think it was 11 cuts/corner. It is really important to get them evenly spaced. 42width 16height 29depth (cm)

[@TheNidzhat88]

Very beautiful. You have gold hands!

[@jordan0mix]

Awesome build quality ! well done

[@Erikdidit]

+Jordan Chouvardas thank you!

[@kyleniedermeier6651]

I think this is an awesome build! Your craftsmanship is great! Also, you may not have the most tools that I've seen in a workshop, but I envy what you do have! I liked this video and part 1 so much that I put it in my "best DIY Bluetooth speaker builds" playlist!

[@Erikdidit]

Kyle Niedermeier thank you for your kind words! :)

[@MarshallSmith27]

hole saws are very expensive but you seem to have quite a few of them how do you get them? Also I see the amp you chose is dual voltage plus and minus voltage what power supply did you use?

[@Erikdidit]

Yeah you are right. They can be expensive. I started with buying a kit with 5-10 different sizes, that is cheaper but the quality may vary. I did the same thing with my forstnerbits, I recently bought a kit from China and they are actually pretty sharp. I updated the parts list in the video description.

[@m215900]

Very nice job, if I was being very critical I think the corners could have looked neater at the front, the notching could have been more tidy.

[@Erikdidit]

I couldn't agree more. If I did it again today I would be more accurate or glued the front baffle on top instead of recessed.

[@stefanharmsen5833]

Beautiful craftmanship! I really love the design! I'm planning to build something similar but without the stand and rechargable.

[@Erikdidit]

Thank you, Good luck! :)

[@antoniojrdz]

Wow Eric! What a beautiful speaker! Keep up the great work, you have taught me a lot.

[@Erikdidit]

thank you!

[@baarsan]

Awesome work! Whats the dimension on the box?

[@Erikdidit]

thx! 42width 16height 29depth (cm)

[@SantiagoAntero]

Standing ovation 👏👏👏👏👏

[@Erikdidit]

+Santiago Antero thanks!

[@HONDA2502011]

veramente un bel progetto, congratulazioni :)

[@rimvydasvenckus8929]

Nice work, you know what you do.

[@Erikdidit]

Rimvydas Venckus thank you! :)

[@Wunderbiber]

What type of woofer and amp did u use? Looks great:)

[@Erikdidit]

I updated the video description with the parts I used.

[@mynameisbond711]

Hi Erik did it One question, what kind of wood do you use for this project? Very nice vídeo.

[@Erikdidit]

Thamk you, it is oak and walnut.

[@mynameisbond711]

Erik did it Its not on sale?

[@mynameisbond711]

It's a very nice project

[@Erikdidit]

I dont have any use for it but I haven thought about selling it either.

[@mix-stuff]

Next video will be sound test I think ?

[@Erikdidit]

yes, you are correct!

[@Kopitarko]

Erik did it yes, please!

[@alexandersund9603]

Snyggt! Jag var inne och kika på Kirby och trilla in hit. :) Hur blev ljudet ur den? Behövde du ha något slags dämpning mellan benen och lådan?

[@Erikdidit]

Kul att min video kom som förlag där! :) Jag har egentligen inte hunnit använda den så mycket än men det lilla jag lyssnat så är den ganska bra. Ska se om jag hinner göra en soundtest video i helgen. Jag har inget mellan benen och lådan fäste dom med lim och skruv.

[@jake8283]

How do they sound?

[@elevierbeltran8703]

What glue did u use to glue the speakers in place

[@antoniojrdz]

Elevier Beltran I think that was caulk to seal the connection between the faceplate and the speaker. This is done so that there are no air leaks other than the calculated port holes.

[@Erikdidit]

yes, it was silicone

[@elevierbeltran8703]

Tanks

[@uncledope77]

Overall this 2.1 is nice! But I only 1 piece of constructive criticism. I wish that during the design phase. That you would have addressed. Those visible kerf cuts that was needed to bend the sheet. There are a lot of ways to hide those cuts from standing out. Before you are done with the finished product. Wood filler, cut a rabbit around the back edge of the face, apply a collar to the front & back, etc.. I like your work, but craftsmanship does matter.

[@Erikdidit]

Thank you

[@Croguen1904]

I am impressed by your work. this is really inspiring. Thanks to share

[@Erikdidit]

That is great, thank you! :)

[@Blober112]

Great work dude!

[@bekone789]

Te inspiró Kirby meets audio?

[@kennethsrensen549]

This build is really beautiful. One thing, i think it a shame you can see the kerfing on the front edges. Other than that it's great!

[@Erikdidit]

Yeah, I totally agree with you.

[@kennethsrensen549]

BTW How are your experience with the TPA3116D2? Does it make any noise when no music is playing?

[@Erikdidit]

Unfortunately there was more static noise than I expected.

[@browndog9402]

Looks like walli the robot, the speaker is stunning.

[@Erikdidit]

Thank you! I think it looks like WALL-E too in some way :D

[@browndog9402]

My bad spelling, so sorry. You are in the UK correct? I am trying to find someone here in Canada with the same kind of speakers, i would like to build a couple for my sons gaming room.

[@Erikdidit]

No worries :) I am from Finland actually. Good luck with your build! :)

[@z0lt4n]

Great project, amazing, inspiring! :) What kind of router did you use at 0:48?

[@Erikdidit]

makita palm router. You can see me use it in some of my other videos as well.

[@heyimamaker]

Love it! Does this Bluetooth amp have that startup sound?

[@Erikdidit]

Hey I'm a Maker I don't remember what it sound like when you start it. But I remember that I had to ground it properly to mute the static noise

[@heyimamaker]

Thanks!

[@DIY-xf8dn]

Nice work !

[@elevierbeltran8703]

Liked, Awesome like always

[@tomaszgietkowski9137]

really impressive!!!

[@Erikdidit]

thank you!

[@antoinec.142]

So cool

[@edoardogiovannini4719]

Bello, bello e ribello!!!!!

[@Emrzkn]

I liked it

[@drewlip23]

Amazing!

[@Erikdidit]

Thank you!

[@r.jwilliams3173]

finishing round corners not too good,maybe more cleaning up there. But design good

[@nick_hf]

👌

[@willienevarez1383]

wow that's it wow

Back edges look better than the front :( pity. it was a good idea

[@Erikdidit]

Yeah, you are right. I am not pleased with how the edges turned out. I will do it in another way if I do something similar in the future.

glad you tried it out, it taught me a thing or two about how I could attack the same idea.

[@galaxykomi]

2.0 where is subwoofer?

[@Erikdidit]

mounted on the under side. Checkout my instagram for pictures :) instagram.com/p/BgdajRJFlKU/?taken-by=erikdidit

[@elhancho1255]

Not a 2.1 but ok

[@Erikdidit]

Yes, it is.
