Speaker Blowouts - The "Home Theater In A Box" Special

After a long lockdown I went to the thrift store and bought most every speaker in the electronics section, join me as I test and torture this big pile of junk !

[@rakic.11]

I remember when i was 12 in 2010... watchin Garrets videos on KZbin as a kid, smash, and other things... 11 years later, still here 😂

Been watching this channel for about 7 years now and the content is still interesting me

[@volvo09]

Because blowing speakers never gets old. I like to see the design improvements and "odd" style some of these modern speakers use too. These are so readily available for free or cheap these days... When i was a kid in the early 90's you could find speakers in the trash or for cheap, but they were all 1- 5 watt pieces of junk with 0 bass response. I would have had some fun with these modern ones.

Hey man, no idea if you're new here. Known about and watched this guy a very long time. Made a lil KZbin poop with him in it actually. If he reads this then he can definitely ask for credit, although I thibk I put it in there somewhere. Anyhow, he's just VERY busy yanno?

Just wanted to let you know Garret, you were the sole KZbinr who got me into the platform and tech/speaker abuse and just audio in general. Been watching since I was around 9 and here I am 13 years later about to turn 22. Still love your vids

Glad to see you back. Thanks for another great video!

[@Liquid_Mike]

unlike most commenters I have seen so far, I _haven't_ been watching you for years but this is exactly what this platform is for, and *exactly* the kind of stuff I want to watch

[@Imabluewall5]

I still watch your old videos Garret from 2012, 2011 and even your videos from 2010!

[@Thanson199415]

36:05 Garret fixing a speaker to blow it up hahahahahah

[@djijspeakerguy4628]

9:27 I have that Onkyo speaker in the background. The tweeters in those things suck! The last thing you want in a center speaker. They sound boomy too. I am sure you’d get a real laugh out of the surround speakers to those sets. They are around the size of normal 5 inch bookshelf speakers, but only 4 inches deep. The only driver inside of them is a little 2.75 inch full range in the bottom left corner! The only good thing is that they can take a beating and not blow, unlike the RCA speakers with similarly tiny drivers.

[@ElectronicInspiration]

5:22 is a 4thorder bandpass enclosure

[@gavincurtis]

Have you tried the little Visio 5.1 system they have at Walmart for under $200? To use and not to blow up :) Usually ignore that lower priced stuff, but that little system exceeds all my expectations. I believe it has a DSP subwoofer as it goes too low without boomyness for how small it is. Rear speakers are wireless (wired into wireless sub at least). Perhaps too small for living room as made for 42" class TV, but a bedroom system...very nice 5.1 decoding and sound quality.

[@TristanSpeno]

my friend’s family has those set up. not gonna lie, i was surprised by how good they sounded. not audiophile quality mind you, but still pretty decent especially for the price.

i own that exact samsung set and tbh it doesn't sound bad, of course it gets obliterated by monitors or bookshelves but they were about almost nearly as good as my klipsch promedia 2.1s. And I agree with garret that they did look pretty cool lol. And those specific Samsung speakers did have an upgraded version in other htibs that had a real tweeter and vacuum tube too

37:10 I got myself that same subwoofer driver! it's an actual beast and pushes down to 25hz in my self made enclosure!

[@brigganthewolf1461]

The RCA bandpass "sub" definitely took a good beating and the DVC passive Samsung sub isn't bad at all for a HTiB bass extension. It's probably not very musical, but it does dip rather low. I'd grab one if I can find one dirt cheap. For now my passive sony subs (WSB-101 & WSB-104) will have to do. They don't extend that low at all, but they have pretty beefy drivers.
