Another popular design by Paul Carmody, the Amiga 2-way tower kit has a small footprint but produces a big sound. This kit has become known as a boutique Hi-Fi killer. This kit is ideal for novice woodworkers, the baffle is pre-cut for the drivers, you just build the enclosure. The kit includes parts to build a single speaker: a pre-cut front baffle, cabinets, drivers, crossover components, and damping material.
The Amiga has a detailed yet relaxed sound with surprising low frequency extension
Remarkably flat response, ±2.5 dB from 35-20,000 Hz
This kit is ideal for any novice woodworker. The enclosure is very easy to build, you only need to create a box and attach the pre-cut baffle. The solid 3/4" MDF baffle is CNC milled by Denovo Audio to tight tolerances. Recesses for flush mounting the drivers are pre-cut making assembly a snap.
This kit includes nearly everything you need to build a top-notch speaker including a pre-cut baffle, cabinets, drivers, port, damping material, and crossover components.

From one carpenter to another I know we are always looking to improve our skills and get better with each project. Learning from others and passing on skills and knowledge is invaluable. So here's me doing my bit, next time you fix the internal structure. Rather than just glueing and screwing, it would be a lot stronger if you rebated a 3 to 5 mm channel for the panels to sit in. That way you've got three points of contact for the glue and less chance of the MDF splitting from the screw. I hope that helps and can be of benefit to you. I love your speaker builds and I'm building a pair of these for my living room.
@DonnyTerek 2 жыл бұрын
Thank you for the tip. I have been considering cutting rabbets for the internal structure but decided to screw the pieces instead, saving me quite some time and effort. It would also complicate the project more. The speakers hold and look fine to this day. Though I'm sure it would have made the enclosure more sturdy if I had the rabbets cut for the internal bracing.
@glennmorgan4197 3 ай бұрын
@DonnyTerek from one carpenter to two others, rabbiting the internal structure isn't necessary for a speaker build and would unnecessarily complicate the project. The internal structure does not serve the same purpose as a furniture style cabinet, and since you countersunk the screws and their only function is to stiffen the cabinet, splitting should not be a problem. If they were functioning as a shelf in a piece of furniture, it would help, but then you're not using mdf.

I currently use that DX25 in my home theater speakers mated to Celestion TF0818 midbass "prosound" drivers. Original design had them crossed over a bit too high around 2.2khz, I recently re-enginerded the crossover and pulled it down to around 1600hz. The new parts will be here this week for the crossover upgrade. Can't wait to install! My rationale on using the TF0818 is that the system is intended to be crossed to a sub anyway, so might as well use something more optimized for the intended frequency range. The TF0818 are 5-8dB more sensitive than most 7-9" class HiFi midbass/woofer type drivers (even when compared to 4 ohm drivers) while still being very low distortion and having a pretty smooth response in their usable range. I have them playing down to ~80hz in a 3/4ft^3 box tuned to around 80hz.

Nice to see the Amigas getting some love! I built these a few years back and they are excellent for the money. I skipped the MDF flatpack cabinets and built the cabs entirely from Baltic Birch plywood. My only gripe is their low efficiency but I knew that going into the project and thats the compromise for F3 of 34 Hz in a relatively small cabinet.

Excellent work, and very well done on the video! You make doing veneer look easy. I have built with Baltic birch, to avoid dealing with veneer. I would suggest either removing the woofer when drilling its screw holes, or covering the phase plug; to prevent any dust from getting into the voice coil.
@DonnyTerek Жыл бұрын
Thank you a lot! Dealing with veneer is not so difficult after all as I thought it would be. Yup, I took extra care when drilling the woofer holes. Since they were a tight fit, I did not want to remove them to drill the holes. Might cover the phase plug next time!
@NeilBlanchard Жыл бұрын
@@DonnyTerek This kit might be a great starting point for a mass loaded transmission line speaker? I have been designing these, and they generally get you cleaner and deeper bass - and more open, less "boxy" midrange. You essentially get the internal baffles as braces, and the quality of the sound - assuming the MLTL design is right - you get the best possible sound from given drivers. I use the Hornresp program to design mine, and if I get a chance I will see if this woofer can work. I would try to make use of the front baffle, possibly?
@NeilBlanchard Жыл бұрын
@@DonnyTerek I watched this video again, and thought that it would be a good idea to add a rib across the inside of the front baffle, right between the drivers. This is the most stressed part of the cabinet, and so it needs to be better supported.

Wow, thank you! It is a relaxing procedure to have the enclosures veneered. Takes a bit of time and patience but the result is well worth it.

Ah, Parts Express. I've known about them since the days of Mail Order. When I was a DJ many years ago, my partners and I built our own set of cabinets with speaker components , crossovers, and a book on Speaker Cabinet design purchased from them. With a little help on the carpentry work from one of our parents, they came out fantastic and sounded great!

Nice build, maybe I’ll attempt a kit myself in the future. Would have gone with Palisander veneer to make them look even better.
@DonnyTerek 2 жыл бұрын
Thank you! Can't go wrong with this kit. Palisander looks great, but I was looking for a lighter finish - couldn't be happier the way they turned out.

Great video and excellent work. How long did it take in actuality? Also, from my own experience, it's not a good idea to drill the holes for the drivers while the drivers are in the enclosure. I've slipped and ruined expensive speakers before by doing that.

Also, in case of this woofer with its phase plug, small wood chips could get into the opening between membrane and phase plug and from there, maybe into the coil.

Thank you a lot! Hard to tell the actual time frame it took me to build these since I was filming the process which takes quite a lot of time. I would say a week worth of evenings from start to finish. Yep, I do agree that a steady hand is needed if drilling holes for the drivers while they are mounted in place. So far no drivers have been hurt by me.

Very nice. Would you put these in a home theater and if so what center speaker would you pair with these?

20:17 Circle Jig, adjustment, under side view. I'm impressed with it, curious how it works, how it's set. Nice work. Really liked the Oak veneer work and results. Wondering if I bought a pair of old speakers could I use them as the chassis base and then put in that new speaker and electronics kit you have used to update and improve them.
@DonnyTerek Жыл бұрын
Thank you! The circle jig is pretty simple, you loosen the bolt that's on top to move the sliding part. This way you adjust the cutting radius. Unless you can source a pair of speakers the same size and internal volume as these, you could re-use them with somewhat similar results.

Built something similar using Dynaudio drivers 25 years ago, still going strong so something like this can last a lifetime if you do it right.

I’m sure the speakers sound nice… Probably fantastic but your skill level is through the roof. They may sound great but they look gorgeous… You are an artist! Great video by the way.

The hardest and most elegant part was applying the veneer correctly and methodically. Definitely not part of the novice woodworking aspect! I'm also surprised at the frequency response on the 7" Dayton Audio reference speakers. My first ever speaker project began with the 3" reference drivers ( probably the best full range drivers for hitting crisp highs without a tweeter). Then i upgraded to 4" drivers which to my surprise wasn't really that big of an upgrade. Finally i added a 6"1/2 tang band subwoofer built exactly to spec and hit 30-35 hz that tapered right around 46 hz. My point is: do tweeters really add to the euphoria of sound quality? or is it that much of a big difference compared to just using a regular subwoofer and 4" dayton audio reference drivers? ( using hifi amp of course)

To my surprise, applying veneer is not that difficult after all! You just have to get the right technique and keep the angles sharp. After that it is just rinse and repeat on every side. I haven't made a full-range build yet. Would love to try that to hear the difference.
