Thank you so much Karl! I appreciate the kind words.

Thanks Tony!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you! You get creative when you don't have all the tools

Thank you!!

Thank you

hmmm... I'm always looking for new project ideas

Agree. Later in the video you see that is what I do.

Thanks

Thank you! I did do sweeps and can confirm air was moving at 20hz. I did have to crank up the amp to "hear" it though. On the higher frequencies I had my daughters listen. I may invest in a mic so I can test the speakers and plot out the results. I have three JBL 2500 makeovers that I am tweeking the design for. Stay tuned!

Size is not what gives you deep bass. It has to do with the cycling, how slow the woofer is moving. Big woofers might move a lot of air but can actually not go as low as a small woofer.

Yes jasper makes a circle jig in metric. I think I'll pick one up as well. I went a little bigger on all the circles. The ones for teh drivers are actually more important to be bigger than smaller. I can fill the gap with a gasket if need be but if its too small it is a pain to make bigger and maintain a perfect circle.

Two reasons. First is that I like the look. The second is that it makes each panel more rigid which is what you want for speakers. The parts alone on this project were $2000. The wood alone was $700. But that is because it is reclaimed antique wood. The wood could be as little as $100 depending on the species. The internals are CSS audio which are very high quality but you can use different components which will cost far less. So you could design something for much less. Yes you can buy circuit boards pre-made but they will cost more. As far as the crossover failing don't worry. They are solid. If you want me to build them it would cost about $1500 for the labor plus shipping. If you have any more question please feel free to email me ara@htguys.com

Das man die Löcher sieht! Wäre auch gutes brennholz

Thank you! Yes i did compare them. These sound bigger and easier to listen to. I played them at very loud levels for a while and did experience and fatigue. I hated giving them up!

Have you considered buying the upgrade kit? The basic upgrade is not too pricey but getting the upgraded crossover parts would almost double the cost. Still, it may be worth it for you, depending on how much you liked the sound. We’d corresponded a while back about my own DIY conundrum; I’ll send you a brief email so as not to inundate this space.

Having recently put together an MDF kit, I imagine using real wood makes the edge roundovers much easier, since you don’t have the challenge of having to veneer a corner.

It is Padauk. Its an African Hardwood

@@TheHTGuys Sorry I missed it in the video... thanks.

I used a 1/2" Round Over bit

The design did not call for it. Plus they are on the back so there was no impact to the look or sound.

I don't have the tools to make a precise enough cut for that kind of joinery

@@TheHTGuys OK, that explains. You need a tablesaw to cut 45.4 degrees in order to glue them seamlessly.

Thanks!

I like the look of the old wood. The holes add to it in my opinion. It is sealed from the inside and the cabinets are solid! My guess is that you speak English but just in case this is a Google translate version of what I said :-) Ich mag die Optik des alten Holzes. Die Löcher kommen meiner Meinung nach noch dazu. Es ist von innen abgedichtet und die Schränke sind solide!
