The first sound demo sounded a bit weird but the room listening really brought the speakers to life. Insane from such a small driver. The "Room" that Sophie was stating was dead on. Then the car test stunned me. So smol yet so much power. They do say the smaller the thing the more louder the personality.

Once upon a time I made cases for a pair of 12" loudspeakers. Each enclosure had a volume of 160 liters! I used an ancient JBL Speakershop software to compute parameters of the acoustic system. They sounded outstandingly, but i moved to another house and couldn't get them with me, so I gave them away to my best friend.

These videos are always great because I am fascinated with audio (especially audio design) and I love playing with lasers! I was listening through a pair of BeyerDynamic DT770 PRO headphones from the headphone jack of my phone and the bass from little drivers really speaks volumes to the design of the enclosure. I may look into getting that laser next, I was super impressed all around

As always world class top of KZfaq quality video, and I tip my hat to your design skills. Most impressive small driver for me was 5F/8422T01 from Scan-speak in 1liter closed, its a 2" driver. I got fooled and thought I was listening to a 5" Revelator, well the song didnt push excursion and more played into its obvious abilities like strumming a guitar, but still it did that with great substance and detail, but like any fullrange it rolled off at the top a bit early. Another is the B3N from Hivi which is a 3" which provides great bas, but breaks up early for such a small driver. Thank you for the immaculate video.

Never in my life would I have thought someone would be able to run a pair of 2" subwoofers in their vehicle. I've been an car/home audiophile since I was 13. I am now 51. Step up to 4-4" run by a pure 100w rms amplifier @0.05%thd. Transmission or horn loaded enclosure with fiber optic lighting built-into the enclosure common chamber. I'm just wondering how small of subs/amplifier and enclosure it could achieve 135 db? I see your gf/wife helped which makes the project much more enjoyable. Keep playing/thinking outside the box. No pun intended............isobaric, 4th order motorized port FQ enclosure. Awesome video.

As for impressed with my own DIY per say, I have some large size mid range Sony bookshelf speakers - themselves a good 20/25 years old (linked to my 1989 Technics SU-600 'New Class A' Integrated amp (serviced & maintained). Anyway, the drivers were getting old and sounded rough, and standard, would tail off at around 60/65 Hz. So, I bought had a quirky idea... I bought some Pioneer A6990F 6x9s, bought some 10mm MDF sheet, made a fresh new face plate (cut to size, with a 6x9 cut out, port cutout and painted black to match the rest of the housing), reinforced the bookshelf speaker housing, rewired them with better terminals and leads etc, bolted and sealed the new face plates to the existing chassis, inserted some sound material, installed the A6990Fs and new ports, and now, they sound great! Clear, rich, full, and now tail off around 40hz! I will get myself a sub to assist with getting lower, but what a difference already!

The smallest speakers I've been impressed by were a pair of OZ Audio 4" drivers...had them in my dash in the mid 90's, and while transferring my audio gear to a new car I drove around with this setup in my old beater: 6 JL 12w1 running on an Orion 2100 HCCA 75hz low pass, 2 OZ Audio 4" drivers on an Orion 225 HCCA with a 100hz high pass, with a single center 2" ribbon tweeter (can't remember who made them) with passive cap x-over...and believe it or not it was entirely listenable! people were shocked to find the only mids I had were 2 4" drivers after a demo 😂.

I think the most impressive speaker I ever experienced was an 8 inch sub. Power Bass USA xS-84D. I built a sealed box for 4 of these subs in a 2005 jeep Cherokee. I had never experienced mid bass like that but also as a fluke the cabin resonance in that car really enhanced the low freq experience. Total fluke that I built the box just right to experience this.

I and some other commenters are actually quite interested in the design process itself. I would love to see how you come up with designs while maybe giving some tips as you go. I imagine these kinds of videos being low effort (compared to your usual, super well produced videos) but still very high value for the whole speaker building community, since there is still a lot of bulls**t out there and quite little people with nearly as much knowledge as you. I would even be interested in partnering up, to reduce the workload on you, if time is what's keeping you from producing such videos. I am starting a small video production company in Austria so if you are interested feel free to get in touch by answering to this comment!

I'll take a hard guess and tell you that its 1.2 meters (around 4ft) long canal starting from 1.4 liter (around 0.03 cu-ft) compression chamber with 2.4cm (1 inch) opening and ending with 8 to 10cm (4 inch) diameter mouth. The diameter means round shape, you can "press" it to square shape at your will as long you do not change the area square units.
@McTroyd Жыл бұрын
Yup, that’s a 2” subwoofer! Never would have thought it possible, but I’ve heard 6” and 8” subwoofers that didn’t get that low. I really think you nailed it on the full range demo though, especially with the room expansion. It even handled the highs a bit better than the Tang Bend (sp?) 3” speakers you used a while back. Love the use of acrylic to make the waveguide visible too. Really neat, as I’ve come to expect for your channel. 👍

Fun project and lusty laser cutter. Makes my K40 look like something from the cold war. In fairness, it already did look like something from the old war.

It's a neat look and a cool party trick. Cheers!
