Kirby Meets Audio - I do have a quite rad and original idea for a speaker build. But time, money and knowledge aren't working in my favor 😅

[@jekciso]

Scanned through the DIY playlist, watched 10 or so videos with the word "build" or "DIY" in its title. Lots of talk, lots of B-roll, no actual instructive, step by step build guide. He's like a chef that explains things, cooks, but when he's cooking, he's more interested on giving us food porn.

That lighting with the epoxy it's genius I think that changed the whole speaker box game......all the way from Belize

[@modustrial]

This came out gorgeous! If you had just told me you were going to do brown epoxy, I would not have thought I would like it ... But it looks GREAT! Similar to walnut and maple, which is a combo I love....

[@KirbyMeetsAudio]

Thanks Mike! Yeah, I sat there looking at all the colors for way too long. Happy with the result!

[@johnwright2304]

Saturn V in the back ground...been wanting to build a 7ft tall Saturn V Very good job on the bluetooth speaker, super slick

[@aarondcmedia9585]

The epoxy mix + backlighting is spot on. Very aesthetically pleasing result.

[@markduckworth5579]

Beautiful build, sir! And I love that you included lights inside! STUNNING!!

[@starkey0417]

Absolutely amazing. I've built (and currently building) a few of your speakers and they are AWESOME. I've been intrigued by the resin as well, but never as a speaker! This may be my next build..... Keep it up!

[@KirbyMeetsAudio]

Thanks so much Aaron!

[@endall39]

Really cool to see how the epoxy could be milled and sanded. I would never have thought to try that but now I may. Thx!

[@Storyblocks]

Dude that is seriously cool! I can barely work a screwdriver, so everything you're doing is basically magic to me. Awesome stuff!!!

[@KirbyMeetsAudio]

Thanks so much!

[@JosephCrowesDIYSpeakerBuilding]

I love the light! Very inspiring. I don’t think a baffle can get any better looking!

[@KingMinhvuong]

Great idea. Love your work!

[@sarge27271]

Dude, you are one passionate and talented artist. Kudos. Keep the vids coming. Love it! Cheers

[@DrGeta666]

Epoxy is fantastic. Doing any fiberglassing can be very time consuming but can make some interesting designs you just cant get with wood.

[@Oban66066]

Damn bro, nice one. Like the way you edit your videos. This build is awesome. This is like yoga to me m8... But ehh... How's the sound?

[@WeeGeordie]

Really nice work. Thanks, Kirby!

[@elCaxi1971]

That looks gorgeous Kirby ! Wouldn´t expect any less from You :) Cool idea with the LED´s too.

[@KirbyMeetsAudio]

Thanks so much!

[@markoduvall]

As always, great job and very creative, Kirby. Congrats to you and Jen on the new place! As for the speaker, I'd be curious to see if the epoxy can stand up to more power, larger drivers and lower frequency. Alas, that would be a really expensive experiment as the Epoxy is not cheap.

[@lorenbrooking1143]

What Drivers did you use for this project Kirby?? Looks awesome BTW, great videos

[@joshsradioparadise2134]

Man that‘s so amazing. I love your work.

[@Eliasfsantoscanal]

Beautiful, man. Congratulations! I love to watch your videos.

[@KirbyMeetsAudio]

Thank you Elias!

[@roriquevernonii8439]

So, I redid a front baffle on one of my speakers to make it a clean hardware free appearance. Had a rough time working out how to run long hardware from the back, but I did it. Told myself "Next time I would do like Kirby does". The I see this video.

[@zenopf]

Well done mate, awesome👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@Mrtscrp30]

Would you consider doing some custom center channel speakers for a surround setup. I think they would be great centerpiece. to home system. maybe a powered center with crossover?? well kinda like you just built but bigger drivers and such lol.

[@niharadawade4442]

Beautiful design kirby!!.Always love to watch your videos.Great work with epoxy. From last few days i am sketchig speaker box design on paper and always thinking that how to mould epoxy in speaker cabinet.Yes, epoxy work has great potential.Thanks for stealing my mind!! Greeting from India.

[@Niels-booij]

Your builds are so amazing i bever see beatutifull speakers like this and you build Them yourself keep up the good work man i love your vid's 😍☺️

[@dozyproductionss]

What was the finish that you used? It took that sanded epoxy and made it looked polished.

[@welcometomychannelswelcome7261]

Welcome back. I think you are the first starting to create diy Bluetooth speaker on KZbin channel.

[@omkarmhatre1912]

Love your videos so much.😘 Your videos inspires me a lot.

[@KirbyMeetsAudio]

Thats so awesome to hear! Thanks Omkar!

[@jfedermesser]

Hey man Congrats on the bigger better new things!!! Awesome video!!!

[@yashindian4233]

Everyday u r going next level...all d best God bless u.

[@aug.jam.1]

Nicely done!!

[@KirbyMeetsAudio]

Thank you!

[@mcaddc]

Nice, very nice!

[@Daniel-qo9uv]

Nice speaker.

[@petertindmix]

I'm making speakers at the moment and was thinking of using resin but thought it would have an effect on the sound quality?

[@tjappie8860]

that is sick mate i love it 👌 you've inspired me so much with this!!!!

[@andrewvigil2040]

Been a while dude. Good to see you! Thanks for the vid. :)

[@KirbyMeetsAudio]

Thanks for watching Andrew!

[@thomaslindroos1667]

Hi Kirby! Do you seal the tweeter from the back or is the snug fit sufficient? Perhaps it isn't that important since it is vented? Otherwise great video and keep up the good work!

[@nitescuvalentin6872]

Provided that you cut a decent home for it, there is no need for anything else.

[@nick_hf]

Stunning

[@KirbyMeetsAudio]

Thanks so much Nick!

[@ncofab46]

So cool amazing work

[@KirbyMeetsAudio]

Thanks for watching Nicholas!

[@fabriciootterburgpedraza8186]

Super uno de tus mejores trabajos de este 2019 muy buena idea implementar resina felicidades sigue adelante

[@mikegoppert4177]

Beautiful Kirby. How is the acoustic quality of the epoxy? Any concerns? Also, what did you put in the epoxy? Can you drop or add a link. Thanks.

[@ishitapatelhere]

Damn that is awesome looking...... kirby would a 2 woofer 2 tweeter setup be more superior to 2 full range and 1 sub woofer ? Which would be better ?

[@KirbyMeetsAudio]

Thank you! I wouldn't say either is better than the other, it depends on what you like and where your skill level is at. Full range speakers tend to sound better in the vocal range and are much easier to design and build. A 2-way system can be better for critical listening, but are more difficult to design and build. I think you'll be happy with either design!

[@ishitapatelhere]

@@KirbyMeetsAudio thanks a lot !! I think ill go with a 2 way..... i also had one more thing Should i let the woofers be without a filter i.e. eg play from 60 hz to 10 khz and put a tweeter with hf filter tp play from 2500 hz or should i keep it in a crossover ? Because both drivers play till max freq. Spectrum that they can handle rather than splitting it into 2.... which would be better ?? Crossover or direct ?

[@ishitapatelhere]

@@KirbyMeetsAudio i highly think you should name ur speaker colour nebula purple !

[@LAStupidDrivers]

Any kit with Apple AirPlay 2?

[@RatRickenbacker]

Did I miss something Kirby? I do not see any kits on the link you provided.

[@rpreddysr]

To calculate the epoxy volume just take the increased width x the length x the thickness.

[@victorsegundo]

Muy bueno Me encantó

[@ThomasRadmore]

What wood do you use for your builds?

[@splattamus5528]

Awesome build bud! Very innovative. :-)

[@aaronwillis341]

You think a subwoofer box could be made with a little epoxy?

[@adaxdu53]

i'm just in love..... wouah... i'm volunteeer to come visit you, and learn how to make just for have one of these speaker at my home... Good work ! If you are ok, i'm come when you want ! :)

[@cicerosilva8819]

Genius.

[@hardcorecap]

I want to do an epoxy and concrete LED lit build. I want to do a toilet build, a kerfed build like Javad, a PA system, a set of studio monitors. I want to build amps and dsp active crossovers too.

[@hardcorecap]

Add solid stone to the list as well.

[@nikoLaLaHa]

what is the quality and resonance of epoxy, does it sound good?

[@KirbyMeetsAudio]

Sounds great to my ear!

[@КакТузикГрелку]

Братишка, я надеюсь что звук Твоей колонки также прекрасен как её вид!!! Спасибо!!!

[@ninethirtyone4264]

Ohhhhhh I wanted to do this for so long :D

[@gerasimger15]

Yes finally (saw it in IG)

[@Ssawekboomboxdiy]

Zerżnięte 👍💪😎🔥💥

[@Baerchenization]

So what is the story with those recessed woofers/tweeters? I thought you had been professionally called out for doing this a long time ago? Are they not supposed to be flush with the surface per the manufacturer and the measurements?

[@caixasgames6691]

Show 👏👏👏👏👏

[@davekimball3610]

Is an even bigger bananaland on the way???

[@Bagoesbudianto]

Hmm.. Brown.. What about with white colour or uncolour...it'll be amazing speaker.... All hail to RGB

[@mihaleban1323]

if resin would be blue it would be better

[@ALEXTESKI]

Kirby, Why do you never talk about parameters and design philosophy in depth...... for anyone really interested in audio and not just the looks it would help justify your choices. I sometimes feel it is literally a promo vid for your kit site :/

[@ALEXTESKI]

How do I say it, I felt like I learnt nothing from this video.

[@kelli217]

That amber epoxy looks like a burl inlay...

[@juanespinoza435]

Make a speaker with infinity speakers from harman

[@spedracer55]

Rgb bacon That is all

[@derekarmstrong1059]

My god, why do people get all OCD on the fraction of a percent difference in a material used. Are they trying to show off their knowledge of acoustics? Geeze, I would rather have a badass beautiful speaker with great sound, than a regular sound perfect blah looking speaker that looks like a generic box any day. Your ear can hardly tell the difference in most reasonable cabinet materials, the design and components are the biggest factor as long as you're not building them out of cardboard or rice paper. You have to hook up a microphone and measure the difference in most cases when it's a small percentage like this.

[@GalayZloy]

No so bad)

[@camarol88]

Duuuuude, you have lost so much weight.
