Jason Bigler Hi Jason. You'll need a bt module hooked up to the power and passing audio into the amp, if its this kit. If its a fresh build just buy a bt amp to replace the amp shown here and voila! Go Kirby! And Jen!

Jen is truly lovely, and a nice addition to your channel. Welcome, Jen! Any thought about a truly wireless Bluetooth speaker system, perhaps using rechargeable batteries, that we discussed a while back, where the second (slave) speaker gets its audio channel via a Bluetooth connection with the first (master) speaker?

Great job..! Nice kit..! Tried the links in description - did not work. As a wood worker myself of well over 30yrs may I make a suggestion on the use of pine. Although its an easy wood to machine as well as affordable paying close attention to grain pattern is key to make sure when people order this kit with wood that when they receive it - it has remained flat. Not saying it will warp but it is a high possibilty. After a board is cut milled and tooled the internal stress of the wood has changed. Shipping from part of the country to another will affect its humidity content etc promoting lots of movement within the grain. Maybe mdf would be a better choice and have different options for how they they want to finish it with veneer etc. Just trying to help an already great idea and kit. Keep building amd having fun. I enjoy your vids..!

@jasonsandoval6887 7 жыл бұрын

I love your videos. Please keep them coming. I have a question, how do you get your stereo amps to a single channel?

@devin4560 7 жыл бұрын

Nice to show how someone with little experience can build your kits. Great idea. There was a lot of loose wires inside. Could you clean up the wiring by moving the controls on the back panel so the amp board can be mounted to the back panel so you could bundle (zip tie) most of the wires?

@legion2k988 7 жыл бұрын

I gotta say you've done a great job with your brand. I've worked in SEO, web dev and know a little about it. You're hinting all the key points. Keep it up and I hope it's working out great for you. Sort of a hobby builder myself with an electronics degree. So, this is in my wheelhouse. I was just unaware of the affordable BT and micro amp tech. I'm really excited to make something. :) Everyone gets a BT speaker for xmas!!! lol

Kirby, love your videos. I have a question regarding the on/off switch used. I'm using the same amp board and when connecting the on/off switch, it only seems to function when running on battery power. When the board is plugged into the wall it remains on and the switch does not function. Any clues?

@robbo580 7 жыл бұрын

what is all that wire for? is there a video about that part?

@joewilliams4198 6 жыл бұрын

illBeets i don’t think he’s gonna reply so I will reply for him. The copper coil is an essential part of the speaker crossover. A crossover separates the frequencies from 20hz to usually around 3000 he and then from around 3000hz up. The lower frequencies go to the bigger speaker, and the higher frequencies go to the smaller speaker, the tweeter. The copper coil separates the lower frequencies.

@dexterx9862 7 жыл бұрын

Is the any advantage to minimising cable length when building this other than just cost i.e attenuation or signal bleed?

Yes, I believe technically there is an advantage, but I highly doubt it will be noticeable. Maybe though. Thanks for watching!

love your builds and projects. i want to try one myself but the kits are pretty expensive. just curious why? note i have no idea how much electronics parts cost :) so I'm not trying to be a jerk....just curious.

@gerrym4377 7 жыл бұрын

Darla Sadler you are not just paying for components but for the r&d into the unit as a whole, the design, both physical and electronic and the time it takes the craftsman to select and pre cut the timber as well as all of the expensive specialist tools to facilitate it. If you can do that yourself with the skills and tools you have then you will be able to make it for less. If you don't have that then you must expect to pay more for someone like Kirby to do all of the hard bits for you. Huge value in that. Hope that helps mate 👍☺️
