Great project. I would point how ever, when you showed working you lathe, the cutter was extended way further out then needed. The rule of thumb is to always provide the most support and stiffness to the cutter as is possible for the operation at hand.

Neat project. One issue, unless I missed something you added to the construction, they can’t reduce echos since the foam you are using reflects all the mids snd highs back into the room. You’d need some Owens-Corning or mineral wool to absorb excess mids and highs.

While having speakers like this would be cool, it does pose the question to me of dampening. With the mass from the LEDs and boxes, it would increase the mass and dampen any bass coming from the speakers. The quarter wave is going to be hitting 2/5ths from the speaker, and where it looks like the transducer is positioned you will have wave interference and have a harder time getting over the dampening effect of the added mass on the back. Are you able to compensate with higher volumes or is it negligible due to being in a concrete bunker? Excellent video btw!!!!!!!

I was about to write the same . XPS foam will produce great Mids and HF but the power supply mass will damp out the sound when placed like that. I did many experiments with XPS , Ply and other composites , the best sound came from 3 mm MDF with a timber frame around the outer extremities attached with Double sided tape. The 3 mm material produces crystal clear sound but you still need a subwoofer , i didnt find any exciter that will replace a conventional sub.

@RaumBances3 жыл бұрын
They work but you made the same mistake many people make when using exciters. If this were a normal speaker box you were building, you would never paint the membrane or mount the electronics to the membrane. But you did just that killing their ability to vibrate freely. You would have gotten a lot better sound quality if you had stained them white, mounted your dimmers on the wall and put the LED strips on the ceiling.

@jong23593 жыл бұрын
The gauge of the cable conductor is dependent on amperage. The thickness of the insulator is what the voltage rating is based off of. Use proper terms if you are going to go at someone as if you are an expert on the subject, buddy.
@Cyril29a3 жыл бұрын
@@jong2359 Buddy, non high voltage applications size is dependant only on gauge. You don't see the insulation play a significant role in the overall size of the wire until you get up to a minimum of 600V and it doesn't even begin to get significant until you are in the tens of thousands of volts. So please buddy, the size of the wire and the gauge of the wire are totally interchangeable terms at this scale, ok there buddy? If you are going to @ someone maybe try not to be pedantic about things that aren't pertinent to what is being discussed. Part of being a grownup is know what details are important when. You are the kind of guy who would insist we take in to account the relativistic increase in mass of a car travelling down the highway when calculating fuel costs. While technically correct it is completely insignificant. OK buddy?
