[@mondotv4216]

You can't measure impedance with a multimeter on resistance. A multimeter only measures DC resistance. Impedance is a measure of AC resistance. You need an impedance meter. And it varies with frequency.

[@PacmanBasshead]

I mean it worked so..

[@mondotv4216]

@@PacmanBasshead No it didn’t - that reading was probably below what the actual impedance is.

[@buckmclean8391]

Agreed...the number you got was just DC resistance. Not in any way an accurate representation of impedance, which is a combination of AC reactance, DC resistance and AC frequency.

[@halvaraspegren7635]

​​@@PacmanBasshead this is a lot more advanced, impedance is resistance over ac at a given frequency. Comes to speakers the nominal impedance is somewhere close to the smallest impedance reading (bcs thats what puts most load on the amplifier)

[@halvaraspegren7635]

​@@PacmanBasshead and also the cap in serial is a first order high pass filter the cutoff frequency depends of the capacitance. 1st order is approx.-3db/octave

[@gabrielvanschalkwyk3782]

Remember the RMS, they only put either PMPO or max peak to peak witch can be anything.

[@tableseven8133]

You are doing pretty good with what you know... Be very careful of heat on the batteries, they can explode, or just not work to well after the heat of a solder iron. Those little amps are very amazing. I bought a similar one from E-bay. Be wise and don't run them without speakers on all of the outputs or an 8 ohm load on each one at least, or the amp chip will burn out. There are three stereo chips. One for 2 tweeters, one for 2 mids and one bridged up for the single sub. If you build an enclosure and intend on pushing it hard try to have the heat sink exposed or have it fan cooled. Also mine had the Blue tooth option built in.

[@PacmanBasshead]

Thanks man, thats helpful! Yeah they sre doing great, im running it at 2 ohm a channel and honestly its fine!

[@tuffytoys9707]

!! Good Video. Tweeters are a copy of the DTI-DT20 Tweeter ( 200watts max by the way ) and the speakers might be cheap aliexpress but it seems you overpaid because the seller on Temu had a dropship to them and then ship to you. The Sub Looks ok and sounds ok but the AMP is clearly Shit. Just look at the sub Jump when you switch the power on.

[@jeyanthgoringe600]

Yeah it looks like the amp has a huge amount of DC leak which will slowly destroy those drivers, some kind of AC decoupler wouldn’t go amiss

[@Zimmy_1981]

They knock off Pioneer too. Stole their old slogan, used their font & model # style

[@VEC7ORlt]

200w? You sure?

[@xaviermontalban717]

Not in a million years are they 200W max. Also, that amp is pretty decent. It's extensively tested by a lot of people. Every amp needs a soft starter to prevent "popping"

[@speakersubject554]

Can’t trust Temu and many products lie about their lumens watts etc. just to sell people on their junk.

[@LBCAndrew]

A while back i built a slightly higher end speaker setup based on a TPA3116 amp, two Dayton RS100-4 drivers, two Dayton 1" Tweeters, and an 8" Dayton subwoofer. For the speaker cabinets i built a pair of 4ft tall Cyberg Needle type (folded Voigt Pipe transmission line), and people are blown away when i play them. They can't believe the sound i can get from two tiny 4" speakers.

[@PacmanBasshead]

Nice work! It makes a hell of a difference, but good sounds comes at a space premium

[@catlover281]

If they are cheap enough, put a ton of electronics that use Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and other wireless technologies. If it makes loud beeping noises it’s unshielded and they cheaped out

[@djfoxyredfur1440]

6:25 those "little tabs" are for the balanced charging, you want to use a BMS to charge them, not with just wired stuff to a power supply, you might damage the batteries or in a worst case scenario risk blowing the cells

Sadly depending on our vehicle even these would be an improvement over stock. I recently got an 05 Civic and swapped the rear and front speakers to JBL Clubs (both front and back use 6.5 speakers) and the ones I pulled out had paper thin cones, one of which looked like a screwdriver poked through it and another tore along the dust cap. Swapped the deck too, much better now.

[@liangmarkv]

there's some problem with the amplifier please replace the inductor on the stereo channel with a quality 22uh. it will decrease the harshness of the tweeter because the lowpass filtering at the output cuts around 16khz

[@PacmanBasshead]

Thankyou for commenting 🙂. The point of the project is to show that anyone can do it, most people wont know how to replace an inductor so for this ill leave it as it is, but thats really interesting, thankyou!

[@RobertJeffersonBased]

The capacitor is a crossover, and the frequency changes depending on the capacitance value and the resistance/impedance of the speaker. They can be used as high or low pass, 6db/octave i believe

[@TheBudgie29]

800w, never, that's louder that a disco at full Volume. I can't wait to hear the Boombox though. Will It be as good as my original Sony from back In the day. Used to rock the block with that thing.

From memory, from my teenage years of doing car installs, youll need around a 220uF cap for mids and a 22uF for tweeters. Memory isnt that good though 😂
