Very good. One of the best demonstrations of how to properly charge and protect the build.

[@AVlad98]

It's the most beautiful handmade speaker i've ever seen. Good job!

[@alphatheon7008]

Really nice and clean work.👍 I will use too passiv speaker in the future.

[@KingMinhvuong]

Great job and nice speaker. I will make one in next day!

[@miulm01]

Cool songs in the background.Good job with the tutorial.

[@tascsikos5044]

This looks extremely good!!

Excellent taken!

[@simonstevens753]

very smart. Interesting design, reminds me of the bose soundlink speaker - especially with the passive radiator position. Nothing wrong with that if you did base it on the soundlink. great job

[@nickalexanderthe3rd]

REALLY COOL SPEAKER!

[@clavixx]

beautifull design and tutorial!

[@KiJiHoon]

This speaker is exactly what I've been looking for. Shame I can't build 😂

[@VoltageGuy2000]

Just put your mind to it and anything can happen. Good luck

[@FocusFireNerdvids]

Gave you a sub for this, the skill and the editing are superb and I hope you go far!

[@bigi1875]

This is so nice! I love it!

[@peterrodrick5898]

Fantastic Bluetooth speakers diy project

[@jamesallanby4807]

It looks really nice!!

[@piper_lori-williams-tudhope]

WOW! Pure talent there!!! 😍

[@valveman12]

That is a very beautiful build.

[@paulb4uk]

Nice build i built a Bluetooth speaker from other peoples junk they threw out only 3 watt a channel with some 3 inch speakers someone else threw out and mdf that came from a skip no passive radiator but ok for what it is .Nice work certainly looks good .

[@btspeakerlab6768]

Nice Design! Very Clean Build

[@sreyonchoudhury208]

Nice build quality man !! :-) Carry on

[@declanpollard7297]

This is how tutorials should be made! Don't usually go out of my way to comment but you're going places, great job!

[@BarryLlewellynYT]

Thanks!

[@eloquenz.5236]

You really inspired me. Just ordered the Parts from Amazon ^^

[@douglascorreia7884]

Has the link of the speakers I know the same model he used

[@Sinhro_me]

very stylish design!!!

[@guybarnett131]

Great video. I have been making Bluetooth speaker's myself, where did you get the passive radiator? Tks.

[@gpcaraudio]

excellent tutorial and design.

[@zz-xz2lt]

My friend purchased a Dindinmodern speaker that has lights and loud sound. It seems equally good. I think I will purchase one

[@pa_maj.MARTINI-van-MAN]

Great video, a lot of guys are worried about battery safety, 18650 batteries are generally good but for the exception of anything with fire on it...surefire, ultrafire and so on, 10 watts at the upped 6 volts only draws 1.66 amps, ohm's law. Yes we vapers need to be more careful though lol. How a battery is charged is just as important and a lot of people miss this point.

[@robvandenheuvel8910]

underrated channel!

[@BarryLlewellynYT]

Thanks! Gotta grow! :)

[@AudioTechnologyEdmonton]

very nice looking speaker! Good job!

[@Lquiyasm]

Really neat Barry, really neat, have you got any experience using multiple batteries together? Im planning a design over a tda7294p board and can't make out if the best solution is to use a stepper for reaching supply voltage or a series connection of several batteries

[@limp1983]

Nice video, nice speaker. Keep up the good work!

[@afrog2666]

Thanks a lot for the link to etsy.com, I have been looking for drivers like this for some time now :)

[@BarryLlewellynYT]

no problem, enjoy!

[@michoas]

love the music

[@marc1us309]

Really cool speaker i like it

[@John182blink4ever]

hey barry, nice video! I have just one question. What is the reason why you added that capasitor?

[@octaviannicula8830]

Thank you for this video ! I have a question : Could I use a power bank (like an portable battery charger for phones) instead the 18650 battery? and by the way disable the step up converter because no need of anymore ? this will be more simple .. i think

[@lucamuller6175]

Great design 👍🏽

[@TijmenJanssen]

I would have used some sort of wood filler for the sides, after sanding. to make it a little more smooth. after it dries resand until you like the looks of it. I think it will make it look less like low cost plywood.

[@kris_mod_manager]

Good job bro! I so nice . Very professional. I need try this :D

[@sarielzhong9877]

I love this design,using wood to be the outlook of the speaker.Awsome，hope you will desin more of using wood or bamboo.

[@BarryLlewellynYT]

would love to try bamboo!

[@ImLunaUwU]

Wow sooo cool!!

[@lfcorullon]

My God. Absolutely awesome. I like to know about electronics...

[@infernablade]

I did this with a car audio set up and a 1000w amplifier powering 1720 watts of subwoofer and speakers. All housed in a neat subwoofer box. Used a high power PC power supply unit to prove the current needed.

[@TheHitcheroo]

Hello I am interested in buying the kit. I am just wondering if it would be easy to integrate an Aux input to the circuit of the speaker? Great video, looking forward to building the speaker.

[@mischibeats2328]

Wow its a best design

[@StaticVapour590]

wow, if i could give you a medal, i would give it!!

[@jasonpierce1118]

Dude that's chill, wish I could buy one from ya....peace

[@retroworldgames139]

Really nice!!!

[@dyannapacunana1123]

cool speaker

[@user-di8sf8pk8j]

Nice video! May I ask where I could find the protection board shown at 1:04?

[@danielpetreje1785]

Best video ever!!

[@gazooc]

Good work !

[@whatsc00k1ng7]

nice design👍

[@jamescollins6085]

Would it not be easier to use one of those USB power bank phone chargers to power the amplifier as it already has the 18650 battery, charging and protection circuits built in?

[@MrBobWareham]

I did go to your shop to order a kit but nothing there?

[@gerrym4377]

Brilliant 👍👍

[@ricianocirino1637]

WONDERFUL MAN

[@modestas12322]

can I do the same build but with more powerful speakers. I know I should add more battery life to it, but do I have to know something more?

[@camerontso1842]

Do the drivers/speakers have to be full range or can it work with 2 way drivers/components

[@KARMA-DONT-MISS-69]

Barry, you have nearly 1 million views...! Wow :)My speaker is still going strong. I'm hoping to make a new enclosure fro solid wood sometime. Thanks, and keep up the great work. Best regards, Niall.

[@Tylerl128]

if i saw that at a store id buy it :p great job man, wood over plastic anyday

[@BertrandDelaruelle]

Hey, Really good video ! I tried to do a speaker myself using the same amp module board (CSR8645). Everything is working fine however, every other 5 or 10 minutes, the speaker beeps. Did you encounter the same issue? Do you have any idea where it could come from? Thanks

[@dryber2]

nice video bro, continiue and thanks

[@2Aallday]

I want to order the kit and panels. But it says something about July in the description. is that just old info??? thanks

[@arielhernandezsaldana8163]

Hello friend, I want to make this project but with the PAM8403 3w output per channel, at 5v I need to know which capacitor you recommended for me to put on the step up just as you have done with yours, since you used one to 10 v to 1600mf, what capacitor I recommended?

[@Darieee]

Holy shit this looks amazing ... I'd go for some screws for at least one of either the front/back panels ... help with later servicing and such

[@MrBrymstond]

Does this speaker have aptX technology built in? How to make another wired and powered for stereo sound ( The second speaker doesn't need Bluetooth but powered?

[@_broody2853]

Awesome Job! :)

[@TheLegend-os4xx]

cool speaker man, but is that passive radiator act as a subwoofer?

[@jakobmuller3907]

Hello can you help me, I used the same components as you, except the Boostconverter (XL6009) and the power amp has 6 + 6w, and my 5 + 5, but it has the same input values ​​as yours, but my power amp turns off at volume 7 of 10. do you have an idea what is going wrong?

[@user-px3tp7us9u]

Hi Barry. I want to assemble the same audio speaker like in this video (csr8645 with amp ht6872, step up module, li-ion charge, 18650, 2 speakers 4ohm 5w). But I still have two 3-watt 4 ohm speakers and a PAM8403 amplifier. How can I properly connect four audio speakers and two amps to each other? Please, help me.

[@LeeSangLVS]

Small but very beautiful

[@peterrodrick5898]

Good job

[@mateuszscibor6383]

good idea!

[@vikredlinerider]

Doesn’t the tp4056 (the charging board) have an inbuilt battery protection for a single 18650?

[@NoahWilson98]

Good Job!

[@beatsmyheart4539]

I have two subwoofers of sound link 42mm (1.5 inch) How many inches of box do you have to make for this speaker's good effect? Without bass resonance. No Bass Resonance. is going to use Bass Air Tube

[@MRSASQUATCH559]

If I'm adding 4 batteries in parallel would I still only need one battery protection circuit?

[@zmotan3106]

looks well

[@didrikgrundberg6195]

Would like to see more!

[@abecoulter18]

are you able to include the box too pre cut

[@brayanmercado7332]

its very inspiering thanks barry

[@kucukbarbaros]

Barry when i max the sound on my smartphone board shuts itself down. I did the exactly same as you. (using 10v 2300uf capasitor). Do you know why it happens?

[@makerofthenorth8948]

Hey cool build! Any plans to maybe build a full Sound bar with woofer? Or do you know of someone who has?

[@BlackyZE]

Hey nice work and thanks for sharing. I have one problem with very similar bluetooth speaker that I made. When I turn volume all the way up, suddenly everything drops out, just like loosing power. Do you have such experience and did you use large capacitor to prevent this problem? I tried 1000uF and I did not success to prevent droping at high volumes :) Do I need larger capacitor or there is other reason for this problem ? All the best ...

[@alexandrumihaiologu4539]

Hi, I got 2 drivers and i want to make a portable speaker they are 8ohm 10w each and like 5cm can you give me some tips ?

[@carloscarvalho5116]

Hi, I really loved the design and it seems so easy that I build one for myself. Same components and pretty much the same enclosure. It sound awesome but I noticed that when on high volumes, after a few seconds, the speaker turns off by himself. Did this happen to you any time? Do you know how can I solves this? I think the problem might be on the step up module, witch can´t give the necessary power to the Bluetooth module, but I´m not sure... Thanks for your attention and keep doing projects like this one! Really cool!!!

[@shubhammodi415]

hey can i get totally ready spekers with the color on it . as you are just giving kits but i don't have access to cutting machines to get side panels

[@eloquenz.5236]

Shubham Modi I let all tge wood lasercut ^^

[@kitayuan9842]

would you be able to play/ fast forward with this bluetooth module

[@scatola96_24]

hy man i would make this but can i use more AA rechargeable battery?

[@tomgray7049]

Great Job young man..... :)

[@blazemathews]

I have a slight heartbeat like thump from my speakers when it's on mute and even when I play the music. It's very slight thump any fix?

[@doneffrixs687]

Heyy I have an old speaker but it using Pin connectors type I've tried to make it but the sound not loud please give some ideas or tutorial to make it louds

[@veseli6920]

If i have an amplifier for 2x10 watt and if my speakers are 2x12 watts will it work or not ?

[@athulbaburaj2673]

Recently i noticed some shrilling sounds in my jbl wireless speaker can you help me how to fix it

[@danaelza]

I just ordered a kit from you. Does the kit include enclosure dimensions? If not, can you provide?

[@essentialedm937]

When I attach the transformer I have to the battery charging outputs on the charge board a red led lights up and the amp powers up but only for a second at a time, however if I wire the transformer straight to the output nearest the USB connector it works fine but then how am I supposed to wire the battery :(

[@scid.]

The middle speaker is the subwoofer is it? Cuz one of my Bluetooth speaker has a similar design but longer and Skinner.

[@videomaker811]

Zeta it just a passive radiator. to make the bass sound louder. no wire connected into it.

[@marciooppido206]

Very cool

[@ozmaty]

Really looking forward to making this one! Any chance you'll have more packs up on etsy?

[@BarryLlewellynYT]

More packs up on Etsy tonight!
