These types of speakers are touted as the world's best speakers for the price. Have I been wrong this whole time?

@TorontoJon

I was shocked, "shocked" to discover that speaker concoction sounded terrible. Haha! Thanks for taking one for the team, Randy, with that audio project. :)

@michaeltuohy1249

If they were piano black and cost about $10k. An audio magazine would recommend them! 😅😅😅

@steveh545

My wife says looks don’t matter if they’re well hung. I have no idea what she means or course. Kudos for thinking outside the box.

@fubartotale3389

Don't hold back, tell us how you really feel.

@FrightfulMess

If you actually construct these according to directions using the proper drivers, hang them PROPERLY (which will YES rule them out for most people), and supplement them with sub woofers to provide the bass, I think you would end up something that sounds much better. GIGO? When you go into a project with a defeatist attitude using subpar ingredients you end up with a subpar experience. Try building a Sony SSCS5 with "whatever you have laying around" , using whatever tools you happen to have even tho doing so you know going in would kill it, then what, you think you're gonna end up with a perfect clone of the Sony? I Don't THINK so..............

Ok ive built these and they sound great. A few things you need to do. 1 DONT use super glue because it has melted all the way through the panel causing perforations. 2 use hooks that are 4 inch max. 3 space them...these were too close together. They are not the best, but your ones sounded terrible

You didn’t actually follow the instructions. Also these aren’t designed for bass. Thanks for your other videos.

@chancedunn2724

Tech ingredients channel did some videos on worlds best speakers 5 or 6 years ago that looked promising or at least like a fun experiment. Alot more in depth than the TikTok crap.

I saw the same video a few years ago and decided to make the speakers. I used the same parameters as the professor that made the video. Especially placement of the exciters. As you profess, they didn’t sound great when I made them. I used an in-line capacitor as a cheap crossover. I bought a 10 inch subwoofer from Goodwill and I hooked them up to a, The Fisher 195. They are in my garage where there is a lot of room. I still have to turn down the treble on the fisher. You can make them sound decent, but you have to put some work into them.

@asx1248

Randy, The funniest thing about this video was your face whenever those ‘speakers’ were playing. You didn’t need to describe the sound your face said it all! 😂

@bobpreston9394

Even the power of social media can't change the laws of physics.

@eddents

"Hot Garbage" That was the name of my garage band as a teenager! Of course it sounded crappy!

@kenandbarbie-b6c

It’s the lack of room treatment😂

@Blizzard1508

@cheapaudioman, It's really funny that you made this video, because building this speaker myself ultimately led me to find your channel. I was initially into headphones and decided I wanted to experiment with speakers at an affordable price. That and I was looking for a project to do with my father-in-law to build our relationship. Built them, sounded terrible, decided maybe it was the crappy amp I used. Looked for a cheap decent amp, found your review of the Aiyima amps. Bought the amp, came to the same conclusions you did on the speakers. Now I have Jamo speakers (per your review) connected to the Aiyima and am happy I went down that journey.

I did similar project. I glued frame behind the board and screwed the exciter on the crossmember wich connects to sides of the frame. This took away this rattling distortion and gave little more bass.

@xaviermontalban717

Have you watched the videos of the original creators? I think it was tech ingredients. If I'm not mistaken, the panels looked different, and they already stated you need a sub. They also superglued the exitors to the panels.

I built the ones with the acoustic ceiling tiles, and they sound ten times better than the ones with the thick foam. I'm not an audiophile, but for the price i've never had a more room-filling non-directional sound than what i get from these.
