AWESOME DIY SPEAKER | diy speaker (part 1)

New project : Homemade LCD desk with 2.1 speaker system builed in
• Video
This small DIY speaker use 2.5" bose driver
I took this pair of driver from my old friend, he asked me to help re-build a new speaker after the Org one no work due to the amplifier damaged
This speaker are small but able to play with very big sound than his out looking
I was very impressived when 1st time to heard, the sound was so amazing , very clear and dynamic and really cohesion sound

[@ZomgLolPants]

lol at people claiming that having fancy tools makes something not a DIY. last i checked, if you do it yourself, that means it's do it yourself. awesome video.

[@Solidworksmaster]

you're alway welcome, thanks for watching friend!

[@juststuff5216]

Agreed. Seems like semantics. If he used a hand saw, would that be more DIY than suing a table saw?

[@cekpi7]

For those who cry about CNC, you can do this by glueing piece of paper with pattern on MDF and then cutting it with jigsaw and sanding it. You will get same results, CNC just makes everything easier and more precise.

[@jonq8714]

meh. such a sloppy glue up, he may as well done it all by hand.

[@FeeLtheHertZ]

Gtfo

[@cekpi7]

@@FeeLtheHertZ lol what

[@chaseleim4773]

Id just take the design have 2 single pieces done by a person who has a cnc (some companys have a cnc for public use) and the id just glue a solid peice to the side and use a flush trim bit and router

[@legion2k988]

Another tip: When cutting layers like that what works best for me is to make ONE the correct size. Then make all the rest about .125" bigger. Then you glue the correct size to the larger keep it it evenly overlapping as possible. Then use a flush cut router to match the larger to the smaller. I do that over and over again for each layer. It goes on then I rout it to be exactly the same. It comes out really nice like that. I just did a table project with 5 layers of .71 nordic birch ply. Came out nice and smooth. If I cut them all the same.. Trying to get them to line up perfect, with glue on, can be a real challenge. You can try some sand or whatever trick to make it stick better but.. I know this works well. For me, I'd line it up then the first staple moves it just a little. Just a tip.. not the only way to do something. :) Also also.. you could make the outside layers out of lexan or plastic. Something translucent and maybe throw in a LED... ;) Just say'n..

[@Solidworksmaster]

thanks for you advise man. I already saw a lot awesome tricks on youtube also, i'm thinking of, you're welcome!

[@joshrichardson222]

Another tip about gluing: When you CNC the panels add holes that will just fit threaded rods that will be the guides and the clamps when gluing. Either countersink to hide the fasteners or cut the rod just long enough to use capped nuts for an industrial look. This works great for tabletops, too.

[@FeeLtheHertZ]

Oh look, the Companion 60's!! Haha, right ON dude, looks amazing! Those Bose drivers are fucking fantastic.

[@nakedsphynxlake]

Do not care what ppl say ? But this is a very cool build. Hats off to guy who made this ? I am pretty sure not everyone has a c n c machine like u used . But really cool build

[@Solidworksmaster]

thanks for your compliment my friend!

[@pferguson2212]

I think people are missing the point here and making assumptions... DIY refers to someone making something themselves, did he buy the cabinet, no, he made it himself therefore it is DIY... your assumptions of it being accessible to the masses is not fair on his obviously attained skills in using the tools he has to hand... chill out peeps and just enjoy the video!

[@Solidworksmaster]

Hi friend, your comment really help a big hand to explain to everyone in sort of DIY term, i just want to show up my passion to DIY community what i doing something and i tried to optimize all the tools only 1 purpose, to serve for "DIY", you're very welcome!

[@gregoryhalye8907]

I have just a few issues I want to point out .... You obviously have a soldering station. Why did you merely twist the wires together instead of soldering them? Were you unsure of the connections and wanted to be able to change it if you had made a mistake? Another issue with that very same step. You can afford the soldering station... you have a table saw ... you have a CNC ... WHY DO YOU NOT HAVE A WIRE STRIPPER?!? They're cheap, effective, and you really don't want to be nicking wires with that blade if you want the best possible sound quality out of your speakers. Finally, to all the naysayers out there ..... Yeah, he's got a CNC and it also looks like a home build project. He had the balls to get the parts and the programming and put it together himself, so go jump in a lake cuz you guys are just jealous. Can you do the exact same thing given a router and a router template ?? You're damn straight. It might take you longer, but it's doable. The CNC just gives him time to do other important stuff in between, like play with the kids or listen to the wife. Again, you're just jealous. Don't wanna be jealous? Go build your own CNC.

[@Solidworksmaster]

thanks for point me out, it's not a completion, i just temporary twist them together for testing then soldering after, thanks for your comment friend!

[@robertgaut919]

But that only counts if you're using a DIY CNC, right? ;^) /sarc

[@willb3698]

Nice little Transmission Line style speakers! Well Done. I bet they sound much bigger than they appear. I made some "Onken" style speakers, they sounded great too - so I know how satisfying it is for you, and how well these little drivers work. Nice little CNC also!

[@Solidworksmaster]

you're very welcome friend! i just curious about your onken

[@EnraEnerato]

Recommendation for the next time, make hole in the plates for a pipe or round piece of wood, that levels all parts almost exactly. Also MDF is not a bad choice, but harder and denser materials shoud maximise the sounds quality. As for the cables, you could make a small channel between the small chamber and the bigger one, letting the cable leave the "echo chamber" with the others, but I would suggest at the top end backside with a small plug. As for colouring them I would coulor them without the electric components dimantled as the speakerbody and lid, the electronic components I would install afterwards, makes a cleaner and nicer surface finish. Similiar things can be done with the base of the speaker, just mentioning it so no one thinks I haven't seen the follow up video, all i all good job, well done!

[@Solidworksmaster]

thanks a lot for your recommendation friend!

[@thomasharder9582]

Dude, I'm sorry, don't mean to be critical, but blowing the dust around DOES NOT eliminate it. It just blasts it into the air. You need to vacuum all that dust up otherwise it will settle down right back on top of the piece you're trying to clean up! Nice project...nice work!

[@Solidworksmaster]

no worries, thanks for remind me !

[@woofer2121]

the insulation undid everything good about this

[@90210sky]

Absolutely

[@iargueta1220]

Why? You obviously don’t understand the purpose of the insulation. This is a T-Line enclosure. Fiberglass is used to make the speaker feel that it’s installed in a much larger enclosure

[@woofer2121]

@@iargueta1220 no one does this in a t line, the t line is the point, the length is the point. adding an unknown is just stupid

[@iargueta1220]

Roo Tehconqueror Yes I know bro, the length is the point. The purpose of the fiberglass is to make the sub think it’s in a bigger enclosure in case you can’t build a massive box. It’s like a cheat so you can get the t-line benefits in a much smaller enclosure. T-Line boxes are huge and someone discovered the formula on how to make a smaller enclosure and use fiberglass to slow the sound waves and make it seem like it’s in a box twice the size! It’s a cool trick

[@hungryhungryhummer]

I love this. How do you figure what length to make the tube and the width and height of the tube and opening?

[@uncledope77]

Cool project, would probably sound better with a passive radiator. And would definitely be smaller in size.

[@devin4560]

Since you are cutting multiple pieces on the CNC, I would make a jig to position the pieces, cut each piece the same size, and double stack them. That way you could cut clean through the top piece to avoid having to clean each piece. Then you can put the bottom piece as the new top piece to always have a fresh piece on the bottom to avoid those bits you have to clean off.

[@joppepeelen]

or get a sharper cutter :) and a bigger piece of wood :)

[@Solidworksmaster]

oh, i see, thanks a lot for your comments friend!

[@derichvovo]

wanted to know the frequency response of the duct. ex: 60 hz 50 hz etc.

[@Solidworksmaster]

sorry my friend, i'm haven't measure it, but 2.5" driver impossible to roll off at 50hz, it's around 80hz at -3db i guess, thanks alot for watching !

[@shanevmax34]

Tip: Next time put your work piece on a sacrificial piece of lumber or blocking....that way, you can completely cut all the way through your finished piece. No more trimming with a knife afterwards

Sorry about my rude comm earlier, I still don't see the point of the serpentine if you used an insulated speaker though. But I must admit the outer design is pretty cool, thumbs up for that. One more thing I'd lite to mention though, you can't really call this a DIY thing, it's not like anyone can have all that machinery in their workshop, that's quite expensive gear and I'm speaking about 5 digits amount expensive if I'm not mistaking. I'm interested in watching affordable things tbh.

[@iargueta1220]

90210sky Lol, this is a T-Line enclosure! Everything is calculated and precise, even the amount of fiberglass! If you don’t know you shouldn’t speak on it unless you ask a question to find out why he’s used fiberglass. Just do some research on it and you’ll find out why. The purpose of these builds is to show that all you need is a top of the line enclosure and you can make any speaker sound phenomenal!

[@DodgyBrothersEngineering]

Let's put this question of using a CNC to build something, and it not be DIY to bed... A lot of these comments are made out of pure ignorance. Anyone who has ever built their own CNC (myself included) knows how much countless research and hard physical effort goes into building your own CNC (cutting, welding, grinding, lifting, endless sweeping, more grinding). It doesn't just stop at designing, redesigning, redesigning again, fabricating and building the CNC, you then have to sort it out, and iron out the bugs which can take months, you then have to learn umpteen different complex software packages to operate it. Compare that to picking up a hammer and nails that someone else built, and calling what you built DIY. You haven't even built the tool you used, so in my mind using a DIY CNC is more of a DIY build than using shop bought tools. And even if he was fortunate enough to be able to afford some quarter of a million dollar shop bought CNC, it would still be every bit as much a DIY as a shop bought hammer. What you don't often see is the countless hours that go into the design and layout, to make sure what you plan fits on the board you intend to cut it out from. Then there is the actual design itself that has to be drawn up using a CAD program, then it doesn't just mysteriously get cut, you need to tell your another lot of complex software a whole lot of parameters like cut speeds, direction, climb milling versus conventional milling, how to plunge, and about a thousand other setting you need to work out and enter those. Finally you get to the third lot of software which allows the G-Code you created in the last step to talk to the CNC itself. It's not a matter of throwing up a sheet of board and pressing a button, there is still more aligning, settings and other work to be done, and when you finally do get it cutting the job isn't done yet, because you then have to watch like a hawk and have reflexes of a cat should anything go wrong with the thousand decisions you made prior to this point (accidentally plunge into the holders that are holding the board, break a cutting bit, start a fire etc etc). Anyone who thinks using a CNC is a quick cheats way to turn out a DIY project is sadly mistaken, and has no idea what goes into operating a CNC machine. A CNC is every bit a valid tool for building a DIY project. You may not put in as much physical effort, but you more than make up for it in mental effort.

[@Solidworksmaster]

long comment ever on my channel, really informative . thanks !

[@DodgyBrothersEngineering]

Just annoys me when you see people making comments like using a CNC is the "easy way" or "cheating". Most have no idea just how much work goes on behind the scenes and off camera. Learning how to use all the software packages alone is a monster job, when you DIY your own CNC and are generally starting from the point of knowing absolutely nothing. Just because we don't show the countless hours learning how to use the software, doesn't mean the price wasn't paid. There are no ready made CAM profiles for our CNCs because we built it, we have to try modify some existing profile just so the CAM software knows how to drive our particular CNC.

[@kwerk2011]

Gotta laugh at all the people railing on CNC here. You don't need a CNC, after all it's just a router being driven by a computer cutting out wood in a prescribed pattern. You're much better to draw out a plan, make a template of it, then use that to rout using a router table and a template bit, right? You know, cutting out wood in a prescribed pattern. Oh.

Solidworks master okay I know mdf is hell on bits, so would the aluminum bit be better? Only reason I ask is because I'm new to routing and am trying to learn more about it.

[@arvidlystnur4827]

Excuse me if I express ignorance. Enclosures such as baffled, infinite baffle, tuned port, horn or labyrinth, such as this design, can only maximize the frequency response of a given driver, never extend it. I’d guess this speaker rolls off about 60 hertz. With the same amount of wood, a tuned ported box a little larger, with an 8 or 5 inch driver could produce more extended bass. Horns and or labyrinth enclosures may be the most efficient and or flattest enclosure for a given, I think building large boxes for small drivers is not cost effective.

[@danieldimitri6133]

Most of these rear loaded setups are just experiments but you can actually add range with a proper enclosure. An infinite baffle, where you separate the rear sound waves from the front but make the enclosure so large it doesn't change the resonant system created bt the cone mass and the spider+surround would be an example of the drivers true range. A dipole baffle will allow the speaker to subtract from itself below a predicted frequency. However some designs actually increase driver efficiency and if that increased efficiency is below the natural rolloff it will extend the range. Horns constrict the air and allow the driver to compress it. A rear horn can be tuned below the rolloff and extend range. A properly tuned port will also create more compression of the air and increase efficiency also have a complex phase relationship that will constructively add to the speaker cone at a particular frequency. If done right the excursion will be less than in open air. A transmission line will also slightly increase the range just delaying the wave of the rear of the cone at the tuned frequency so the 2 sides don't cancel. If you do this so it's just below the rolloff point it does slightly extend the range. Bose made a lot of money extending the range of small speakers with bandpass dual tuned port enclosures. But that doesn't give you a full range speaker. Many great rear loaded horns exist but they are usually floor standing even with a 4" driver and load the corners of a room so the walls act parts of the horn making room placement critical. Sure horns can be truncated to some extent and floors and walls can be loaded but horns still end up being really big to do any good. All that said it would probably be a better idea to use a larger driver. While some horns can make a 4"bass happy the enclosure will be larger than a good 8" with a port. Sure 6th or 8th order bandpass boxes can make a boomy 4"sub but they are really hard to get right. It was not that long ago when only Bose had a workable formula for this. Maybe good simulations exist now but it still depends on accurate parameters of the speakers.

Arvid, a small driver can be awesome with near field listening, you need source points of sounds for the radiation. The stereo field can be much better using small drivers instead of bigger onces or two or three way, especially with near field. Also it is possible to extend the bass range. Certain types of dampening material and a tapered chamber, from the speaker big to small at the back can lower the resonant frequency of a driver. Then tuning the back wave to even lower and bass becomes better than any port ever will do, piped ports create unnatural bass.

Using CNC isn't a kind of DIY job in my opionion. Because it isn't doing with your hand basically. Anyway, Which BOSE driver have you used on this proyect, please? Thanks

[@Solidworksmaster]

i just kind of sharing my hobby, and other , i define that if you can make a CNC then use it for DIY it also consider DIY. For the Bose driver i took it from " Bose soundDock seri 1"

[@juststuff5216]

Seems like semantics. If he used a hand saw, would that be more DIY than suing a table saw?

[@curiosity_saved_the_cat]

I've been looking for diy speaker projects on KZbin for a while now, this one is a good compromise between 'easy' and an interesting design. How did you calculate the volume of the cabinet and the length of the port? Is there perhaps software available to assist in making a good design? Thanks for this video, very inspiring!

[@Solidworksmaster]

i didn't use any kind of softwares to calculate the cabinet, study from bose waveguide technology then a bit modify and use my experience to design this. Thanks a lot your comment friend!

[@juststuff5216]

Plenty of Transmission line software out there, and you could use the transmission line table chart from Martin King bit.ly/2QUBP8J or you can look on my channel

[@Bluuplanet]

Please tell me about the box that looks like my car battery charger that has a switch on it that starts your table saw.

[@Solidworksmaster]

Hi friend, that is voltage stabilizer which able to delivery 110V and 220V and make it more stable, thanks for your comments

[@alexdamewood3041]

The point of DIYs is to do it with out those machines be able to do it with everyday tools cuz not everyone can afford those machines 🤣

[@MyCatInABox]

This is an example of a "Transmission Line" or "T-line" design, right?

[@juststuff5216]

This is a chambered transmission line

[@TURNKEYiNK]

First time I’ve watched a video narrated by birds, speaking at high speed. Laff Would be a lot more interesting if a human did the talking.

[@paveldaddy]

Excuse me, but are'n you supposed to keep the resonance channel free? In my opinion you are obstructing it with the wires and the rock wool.

[@joaquinnunez33]

Excellent!!! Can you point me where I can get your Cnc or one like this

[@Solidworksmaster]

there's plenty video to show how to build a CNC, you can build for your own, thanks for watching friend!

[@immrnoidall]

i wish i could hear it for real.

[@Solidworksmaster]

thanks for watching friend!

[@Mark_5150]

This would probably turn out better if you used a different driver where you had the TS parameters available so you could tune the box correctly.

[@Solidworksmaster]

basicly, i use my experiences to build speaker without parameters of driver, some time you just need imagination then go ahead be hornest, i was failed 3 type of cabinet until last one

[@JusttheEdge]

Solidworks master you need parameters because two identical looking speakers could have different size coils, suspension stiffness or motor strength. Any one of those things can change parameters greatly affecting box specs and tuning. To many variables to account for to be able to pick up an unknown spec speaker and create a properly tuned box.

[@Solidworksmaster]

thanks Josh for your recommend!

[@Solidworksmaster]

thanks Josh for your recommend!

[@juststuff5216]

T/S parameters are a guide, not the be-all-and end-all as they're not a constant!

[@saulllanos2933]

hello friend, I congratulate you, I'm doing many speaker tests like yours, I can pass the measure of your project, since the design is missing only the measure What type of twitter do you occupy? And how much does your horn have? 4 or 8 ohms? mdf is 18mm ? Thank you

[@Solidworksmaster]

the bose drive is 4.6 ohms and i used 18mm MDF, you're welcome friend!

[@electronicshelpcare]

amazing video.

[@phaelax]

Did you clean up all the glue that squeezed out on the inside?

[@Papamac67]

Why does it sound like there are talking mice in your Workshop?

[@Solidworksmaster]

that's high speed sound my friend, thanks for watching!

[@BigBoyLies]

i wish i have my own cnc machine

[@Solidworksmaster]

thanks for your comment friend!

[@Tom-Lahaye]

Why not add a sheet of thin cheap plywood underneath when milling, instead of cutting into your X-Y table?
