All right then! Thank you and sorry it took so long! Probably the most intelligent conversation on here. Thanks for talking with me for so long too!

Alumidumb , that's the best one I have ever heard . Your a classic !

gr8 vid... i didnt realize speakers had so much solid metal in them!!

Huh... didn't know so much of this was done by hand. Also, I LOVE this show. ^-^

Thanks Vincent , definitely a help .

Excellent video.

Good job!

Nice. Thanks

Its nice to see them being built. when they say about the midrange speaker and tweeters, what they don't tell you is aswell as handle different frequencys they are also for directional purposes, they can create an illusion for the soundstage and depending on the set up give transaural directional properties. I once heard some extremely good speakers and they were leagues ahead of anything else. 2 speakers gave full 3d sound in all listening positions. This vid makes me want to make my own

Very interesting. Thanks.

great video, thanks!!!

This is cool!!!!!!!!! I wish I had this kind of equipment to build my own speakers.

good video. Thanks

thanks for sharing this video

Very Informative and Exclusive..

I'ma cnc programing / Machinist in training I would love to make speaker parts all day just to see my friends faces when I tell them I probably made it ... But right now I'm working for the company who fixed the BP disaster ... We make the best oilfield equipment in the world hands down. So I'm proud to be a part of that. But still live for pure undistorted music. No pmp here only rms.

cool video

I like the music in this clip theres another good upbeat one in this show that i like, still looking for that one

many many thanks

very cool

I miss this show

I lugged those huge concert PA system for decades.

I love this show i watch it all the time, im gonna add this vid to my ipod

tnx man :) so cool and interesting

Great video

i like the video n learnt a lot...

I like that! It would probably be fun working at a speaker factory.

Looks like a SoundKing driver, used in Carlsbro Gammas, Studiospares Fortissimos, Pulse PAS series and Metro Audio Systems SP series.

Subwoofer design has changed so much in the past 20 years..

i've watched this video a million times by now xD

awesome

I love the background music.... in MIDI.

Sean Durham , you need as much as 600 volts , and as direct current to create a strong enough magnetic field to align the molecular structure of the ferrite , so you can have a magnet .

this just reminded me how much I need a new sound system... Though my AWA provided years of entertainment it's time for it's student's income grade quality to get an upgrade. =D

@ModernThreads this is a higher end speaker, which are made by hand, but walmart speakers are machine made

Wow, excelente, siempre quize saber cómo los fabricaban!

Alright now I have to find it!

nice expl

Long live the audiofile!

muito bom valeu!

good info,waw waw thanks

nice...

becouse its a lot of precise work to make sure it works perfectly

did it ever work?

Now I'll make one!

Glue is fantastic, because it does not transmit unwanted vibrations. They also use glue in the car indrustry to put parts of the car body together.

thats great :D

Your video is good greetings from L4L BMB from Indonesia

I was thinking that voice coil is so massive that it must limit the transient speed of the cone. Then I went DUH it's a subwoofer, it doesn't need to move very quickly. I've done open heart surgery on my Beyerdynamic DT880's and let me tell you, the voice coil in those drivers probably weighs less than a cornflake. That is amazing considering its made of pure copper.

"Glue, the new, old, Duct Tape. YEAH!"

@gegonut These are TRansparance loudspeakers, manufactured by Belisle Acoustics in Chateauguay, Quebec.

a woofer is a speaker that can respond to a frequency from a range from 40hz all the way up to 1khz or higher, a tweeter is a speaker that can deliver a frequency range from 2,000hz all the way up to 100khz, a super tweeter is a ultrasonic speaker that can deliver a frequency range from 20khz to 100khz and they supposedly affect how music is heard even though they aren't in the range of human hearing and are supposedly felt.

Nice

good question. I'm not sure but i think it helps the thermal waste, because the electro-magnet produce some heat. So the heat has to be evacuated, in this case through the well of the core.

Wow harder than I thought

@rcfirdy It reproduces the signal as a mixture of the different frequencies. So a speaker reproduces a range of vibrations that was captured by a microphone diaphragm. They use 2 or more speakers in a cabinet to reproduce different speed vibrations (low/high pitch) clearly. So a single speaker cabinet has limits on it's frequency range. Your ear also picks up an approximation of the combined frequencies (vibrations) interacting when you hear musical instruments.

people bitching about the speackers voice ? its easy to understand and clearly enunciated... what else do you want ? drama and emotions ? I think its pretty awsome someone eplained me under 5 minutes how a speaker is made. I wish schools were that efficient.

I use to work in a speaker manufacturing years ago.

@rcfirdy Man, it reproduces only an electric signal, but that signal (imagine your favourite song) is a combination of various frequencies which are changing during the time the song lasts. Only a signal contains the sound of vocals, drums, etc at the same time. (sorry for my english)

a subwoofer is a speaker,don't let anyone tell you otherwise unless they've done research online, a subwoofer is a speaker ranging from 3 inches all the way up to 12 inches or higher that has been laboratory tested and approved to respond to a frequency range from 20hz or higher all the way to 400hz or lower depending on manufacturing specs.

Well the basket and motor assembly can be super heavy, but what has to be light yet rigid is the cone. There are lots of woofer models involving basket and frame assemblies that weigh over 50lbs, some weigh over 100lbs, but their cone assemblies with the suspension and voice coils weigh just several ounces, usually no more than a pound depending on the cone size and material (paper pulp, plastic, aluminum, woven glass fiber, woven kevlar fiber).

làm loa hay quá

We took bong hits for each one. its 3pm, Goodnight.

good catch on the 600V of current... i went back to check and had to laugh at it :D

magic

man i wish i had the damn speaker they were making....i would shake my house down...lol

that's so it doesn't vibrate itself apart, woofers have to withstand very high pulling forces. if the coil weren't glued very well to the cone for example, it would pop out of the woofer in the second you turned the music on.

This is a subwoofer actually and the coil needs to move but it also needs to be close one of the poles of the magnet for better power so they cut it and add a core which will have same polarzation with the magnet.And coil can move easily and magnet power will be same.

I agree with an earlier comment that a subwoofer is meant to operate in the Infrasonic spectrum , that is , below 20 Hz . Anything that goes from 20 Hz to 200 Hz is just a regular woofer . Anyway , what is Sodder , I was taught that it is Solder .

This video addicted me to glue

THank you very Much let me understand how it making of ..,

beast subwoofer!!!!!!

@Biesrokz those are just sound bites. not a song.

Ever wondered how speakers are made?

This is not a subwoofer, it's a PA midwoofer. But like a subwoofer, it has a lot of travel and can displace a lot of air. The hole in the magnet is for ventillation, to allow air not to be fully trapped but to move in and out. This has an effect on speaker parameters, because trapped air acts like a spring, so ventillation makes suspension less stiff, raising the resonant Q and making driver more efficient. Also attenuates resonance behind dustcap. Cooling is not a primary design criterium.

What's the song at the very beginning and end?

this is actually a subliminal message to buy glue

thinking of trying this lols

Ever dropped a gallon of water on your toe? Imagine dropping a 5 gallon jug on that toe, lol.

no im trying to find the music from this tv show and lots of people are but the music is composed specifically for the show

oh my gob this video was 14 years ago. 🤔

Is it true by putting some lotion on the cone helps loosen up (broke in) stiff speakers?

zomg thats a huge speaker

i guess i wasn't the only one that notice that all they do is GLUE GLUE GLUE GLUE GLUE GLUE GLUE PAPER METAL GLUE GLUE GLUE GLUE. lol

Loudspeaker are perfect for boombox and computer speakers?

interesting shit!

I enjoy listening to metal whilst watching "How it's Made" for this, I used Gojira - Adoration for None. worked nicely

this is not how a speaker is made, this is how a bass element is made.

I have a questions about speakers, cant seem to find the answer anywhere....Does anyone know if its ok to play around with the bass and treble switches, like turning them up and down, wil this ruin my speakers or is it ok to do.

Yeah, because what I'm wondering is how they make the magnet, and how do they make the cone and speaker surrounds (the surrounds are important even though they are not mentioned in the video).

hmm...so did you build these loudspeakers too?

Everytime she says glue,take a shot

I didn't realise this was made 10 YEARS AGO!

11 shots. 2 shots included for "glued" and "gluing"

See how sloppy the glue for the dust cap was on the last speaker...

Up load more videos please

Круто!!

yes... tho i don't feel like dying without kit kats for a day.

who ever made this is f*cking genius

I read the article that Vincent recommended , and also from my experience , only the U.S. says " Aluminum " . Have a look at the article that Vincent Morebucks recommends .
