You forgot to mention how much it would have cost. At least the parts. Well done as usual!

[@DonnyTerek]

Thank you! You can check the cost of parts in the description.

[@maestrohun]

You don't want to know it, because otherwise you will buy a brand new factory built solution, because of the price/perf.

[@redneckdriver01]

just for electronics not including the speakers is over 200

[@umbrellacorp.]

And if you don't have woodworking machines you're DOOMED!!!... 😂

[@DonnyTerek]

Unless you're aiming for the same result, I have to agree 😄

[@mjb2496]

You can do it bro

[@komradekoala5648]

Even without some of these machines, a saw and a drill will definitely get you a nice enclosure! They sell kits online with everything you need though

[@diogoandrade4772]

Your work is incredible! I haven't seen anything like it! I would be very happy to win one of these! 😊

[@arshaax6968]

Good job man, I enjoyed it very much👍🏻

[@DonnyTerek]

Thank you a lot!

[@user-iy8oc7dq5t]

As always, a masterpiece!

Thank you!

[@edgarchansin5617]

Suelo ver tus trabajos y me parece increíble...el detalle y el acabado son muy bueno....éxitos 🙌

[@DonnyTerek]

Thank you!

[@bladE290879]

Nice work. Using dedicated programming connector back in the speaker (e.g M12) could make a sense in case you ever need to reconfigure the speaker.

[@DonnyTerek]

Thank you! That's a great idea!

[@shahintalukdar9829]

Good work but the batteries should tighten with cable tie or glue gun to prevent come out from slot when accidentally speaker face any falling issue from any high surface to ground.

[@DonnyTerek]

Thank you! The batteries are held in very tight. You would most likely break the speaker first before the batteries get loose.

[@steveroberts]

Nice build and explanation

[@DonnyTerek]

Thank you kindly.

[@user-co4lb5yz1x]

Все отлично! Молодец за такой проект. Но я бы сделал заместо фазоинверторов один большой пассивный резонатор внизу. Получилась бы система 2.1, и отдача на басах существенно бы возросла. Чтобы отсеять кросканальные акустические наводки в таком случае, внутреннее пространство лучше заполнить синтепоном.

[@VINAYKUMAR-wl4gk]

After a long time 😊

[@xeroname]

Nice video and clean, neat speaker! I've always wondered how every diyers make smooth surface finish of wooden enclosure, and today I solved this question thanks to your video. Also surprised about the solution at 12:55 which despite non-curable mistake in normal situation! Thanks to your video and hope you have a nice day 😁

[@DonnyTerek]

Thank you so much! Yes, and even that finish is not the smoothest 😄 Thanks for watching and I'll hope you stay tuned for other projects!

[@dannyverhamme7970]

This is a very enjoyable video to watch! Thanks. 😀

[@DonnyTerek]

Thanks for watching!

[@bastianrivero]

Perfection

[@endall39]

Really nice! There are inexpensive calibrated measurement mics out there. If you’re intending to set the DSP once, I’d want to see the pink noise response and use it to guide you to a base curve. Then tune to taste.

[@DonnyTerek]

Thank you! Have to agree, I should probably get a measurement mic for my next builds.

[@_mysilentblue2227]

I like your spray can stand.

[@DonnyTerek]

Thanks! 😄

[@meany2]

A lot wait for your video❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@DonnyTerek]

Hope it was worth it!

[@rezvanfar]

youre an artist

[@DonnyTerek]

Thank you!

[@daa2622]

i agree

[@daa2622]

i love how it looks, but it really nags me knowing the amount of sound diffusion around the corners. it causes hills and valleys in the frequency response. but still, a great build for an MDF speaker

[@johnraffyvito2790]

It would be nice looking if you use a torx screw

[@millenniumrun9995]

Excellent work! Just a suggestion: Lining the inside with open cell foam and filling the open space with poly fill really cleans up the sound. Just don't obstruct the port. Great content man.

[@DonnyTerek]

Thank you for the kind comment and tip!

[@millenniumrun9995]

@@DonnyTerek No problem dude. Keep up the good work. You have some of my favorite DIY audio content. I'd love to see a high end build some day. Try some Scanspeak drivers and you won't be disappointed.

[@DonnyTerek]

@@millenniumrun9995 Much appreciated. Will definitely be trying a high end build in the near future to replace the Amigas even though they are quite amazing for the price.

[@ejfrederico]

Perfeito

[@manadoinitialdj8795]

nice work Sir❤❤, but how you make round corner? im really interesting😊

[@Simone-qr6mq]

Do you have any suggestions about a cheap, non amplified DSP for diy speakers?

[@marzooperinhoo9011]

Perfect video just a question, there are no crossover between drivers and amp? Thx for the answer

[@hansmeiyer831]

These are full range speakers, no need for splitting the signal to high frequency and low frequency components.

[@st170ish]

Nicely done Donny, any reason you didnt use some more veneer to fix the corner?

[@DonnyTerek]

Thank you! It would be a quite tedious job to glue a piece that small and probably wouldn't look any better than it is right now.

[@castroil5-405]

I think it adds character to the speaker

[@ariangeroy6035]

can you make a simple and cheap speaker

[@MrGedem]

No handle for carrying. No protective grill for the speakers. Requires rare 18V powersupply for charge (why not use 5V usb with DC-DC step up). Maybe veneer chip can be fixed with patch?

[@yokohamalover-mc2wy]

Wao～Nice　Sounds Good ！！！

[@gauravbhilare98]

Marhsall who? We need this speaker man, in INR it costs 2x less than Marshall to build this !!

[@wolfairxpdc4384]

👍👍👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥

[@fouzaialaa7962]

add some rubber bands or some scotch tape around the battery's and the battery holder so when the speaker inevitably falls from the table or something the battery's dont pop off the holder

[@mikhail_gritsay]

Нужно было войлоком изнутри проклеить, убирает гул и делает звук приятнее

[@Ace10929]

Oh I can't find my last comment. Small question, Is the dc power connector included in the dayton audio amp board? (when you buy it) to charge the extended batteries

[@DonnyTerek]

You have to buy the DC connector separately, I have placed the links in the description.

[@peterukw]

I have paid and down loaded your plans but you have missed out the drawing for the back panel, can you add it please.

[@Vinz3ntR]

I always thought veneer was pre glued and only heat is needed to fix it to the wood

[@DonnyTerek]

That would most likely be synthetic veneer, probably PVC that only requires heat to be glued.

[@Gabriell17b]

Preço final?

[@davidlee3203]

But how was there no line from the two corners meeting around the edges of the speaker box? Tell me im really confused how there wasnt any.

[@abramhunter6249]

They are still there. It is hard to see with a nice sanding job and partially covered in glue.

[@DonnyTerek]

There is a line, down at the bottom.
