Hi everyone! Thank you for checking one more project of mine. On this one I was reached out by Parts Express to see if I could assemble one of their DIY boombox speaker kits that they have. This kit has incredible value for what it provides. The kit includes:
• CNC Cut Plywood Enclosure
• TPS3116D2 Class D 2.1 Bluetooth 5.0 Amplifier Board
• Dayton Audio DCS165-4 6-1/2" Classic Subwoofer 4 Ohm
• Dayton Audio DS215-PR 8" Designer Series Passive Radiator
• Dayton Audio LBB-3 3 x 18650 Lithium Battery Charger Board/Module 12V
• 2 x Dayton Audio ND25TA-4 1" Titanium Dome Neodymium Tweeter
• 2 x Dayton Audio DSA90-8 3" Aluminum Cone Full-Range Driver 8 Ohm
• Wire, Hardware, and Other Components
Crossover Components:
• 2 x Dayton Audio DNR-8.0 8 Ohm 10W Precision Audio Grade Resistor
• 2 x Dayton Audio 1.00mH 20 AWG Air Core Inductor Crossover Coil
• 2 x Dayton Audio 0.10mH 20 AWG Air Core Inductor Crossover Coil
• 2 x Dayton Audio DMPC-1.5 1.5uF 250V Polypropylene Capacitor
• 4 x Dayton Audio DMPC-3.3 3.3uF 250V Polypropylene Capacitor
As you can see the kit includes many high-quality components for the speaker. The enclosure itself is made of precisely CNC cut 1/2 inch plywood.
I'll start the speaker assembly process by inserting the speaker terminals on the side panels of the enclosure, making sure the cables with crimp terminals will be inside the separate woofer enclosure. Using the wire stripper / crimp tool (in the tools list above) I cut and crimp two pieces of wire for the woofers. Make sure you use to of the larger terminals for the midrange speakers.
I then cut two pieces of MDF for the crossovers that would nicely fit on the bottom of the enclosure once assembled. Drilled the holes for the screws and marked the same locations accordingly on the bottom panel. I also drilled two holes next to the charging port hole for the power LEDs and I cut a small piece of plywood for the battery level LEDs.
Before assembling the enclosure I routed the inside of the amplifier panel - not necessary but makes it look neat and removes sharp edges.
For gluing the enclosure I used plain PVA wood glue and a brush to spread it along the edges.
Once the enclosure has dried, I used an orbital sander to make it nice and smooth. After that I routed and sanded the outer edges of the enclosure.
I used a few screws as stands while spraying the enclosure. I started by wiping any dust with a tack cloth and spraying the front panel with matt clear coat.
I then soldered the crossover components for which you can find the schematic in the kit purchase link. Using the amazing TS-100 soldering iron I connected the wires to the crossover and placed them inside the enclosure.
Important step of the build is to seal any holes that the air inside the enclosure could leak through. I covered the LEDs with a bit of silicone to make sure of that. I also used double sided tape for sealing the amplifier plate and the battery LED panel.
Once all the components wire wired, I mounted the speaker drivers, charged the speaker using the provided power brick and gave the speaker a test.
I can honestly say that this 2.1 boombox sounds amazing. It is currently my go to speaker for everyday listening and small parties. The camera microphone that I use for testing does not do its justice but the speaker truly has some powerful bass and clear soundstage.
I hope you will give this speaker build a try and as always feel free to leave any comments or questions!
Thanks!

I built one of these and really love it. I opted for the big (26650 cell) 5 battery option. Biggest problem was fitting the power supply board. If mounted to the floor, the woofer and passive radiator would not fit. So I separated the battery holders from the board, mounted them separately to a plate and mounted in the space between the midrange and tweeters. Then ran wires from each separate battery holder back to the board. Finished product has great sound and is very loud!

@DonnyTerek 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you for sharing! I chose the bigger 5 battery option as well. I did not have any issues mounting the woofer or the PR against the board. Only one connection was touching the magnet of the sub. Indeed, the finished speaker sounds great and plays quite loud.

If you're looking at the front of the box. I mounted on the left wall, touching the bottom, and touching the back wall. Clears the tweeter and everything else. I accidentally used the smaller width batteries so not sure if the bigger ones cause an issue

i have been looking into this, thinking about building one but i came across a few complaints. main two are the mids and tweeters are to close together to install grills on the mids, and the amp being advertised as a 200w amp doesn't come with all you need to make it 200w. and would want to use for work but would need good protection for all of the speakers and the passive on the back. I dont really want to trial and error my way to a finish. would it be nice if a list of optional add on parts was listed in the notes or something like that.

Nice video Donny! How hard would it be to install a chromecast audio inside and some way to power it off the same power source/batteries?

@DonnyTerek 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you! It would actually be a pretty simple install and possible to power it off the same battery used for the speaker though I'm not sure if it would cause any ground loop noise due to the same power supply being shared (though easy to overcome). Personally I would keep the speaker as it is and only include an Aux port so the Chromecast can be connected without any complex wiring needed. The amplifier has an Aux port integrated.

Nice. I have been looking at these and other "kits" for some time now. It is very hard to tell what they may sound like. Can anyone tell me honestly if they sound as good or better then say a JBL at the same price point?

@DonnyTerek 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Derek, thank you for the comment. The sound test using my camera mic truly does not do the speaker's justice by compressing the audio recording. I am not sure if it sounds better than a JBL at the same price point since the kit does not use any software for enhancing sound quality (boosting bass at low volume level, etc.) but it still sounds great having the tone controls. Most DIY kits can hardly compete with the price to quality ratio of factory speakers but I guess the kits are more of a satisfactory result for being able to build your own speaker.

@derekthomson6514 3 жыл бұрын

@@DonnyTerek Thank you for taking the time to get back. I agree that it is very satisfying to build something, and I am certainty not trying to take away from that. Some of these mini amps do have a DSP option or accessory board I see. I would like to know more about them. Carpentry is in my wheelhouse. The electronics, not so much. Other then watching videos like this one and following a parts list. Not a lot of info to be found for `the new guy`` Any help in the right direction would be very appreciated. (I shy away from this kit because I feel I can make a better box and I am not a fan of the passive radiator.) I would still like to have the 2.1 and portability.

mhm so $249 for kit; $36.32 for rest of speaker parts(5pcs-batteries, battery holder, cables) and $6.32 Materials(Carbon fiber vinyl, Acoustic foam, 3mm double-sided tape). Total $291.74 for all the parts including kit without shipping and tax including current sale price. So it would be around the $310 mark including tax and shipping depending on what shipping speed you choose.

@DonnyTerek 3 жыл бұрын

Not exactly. The speaker kit for $249 comes with batteries and the battery board included. Shipping is free if you are lucky to be in the States. I opted for a larger battery board for better performance but its not necessary. I'd say this kit is of great value for the price.
