Hello guys. My name is Bernardo Mas, I’m a Product Designer and I'm gonna be posting videos of my Speaker Build adventures and other cool stuff that I'm passionate about. Cars, Bikes, Audio, Modern Furniture... Stay tuned and enjoy.
They look great. Very much like the Boenicke W5's . Probably sound just as good or better . I don't think the built in stands were necessary , but all in all a fantastic design.
Take this as constructive criticism and not an insult but you’re exhausting to watch with all the hey guys. Okay guys. Alright guys. Just stop haha you have good videos without this every 30 seconds…
How about a power fullrange speaker ie mark audio Fr driver and a great subwoofer like peerless XLS or eminence lab 12 driver instead of woofer Need 20hz-20khz
make video 3!!! Not super clear on how running the signal in parallel to 2 drivers impacts the slope of the audio signal for each driver. Also are resisters mostly used such that you only send certain voltage to each driver based on what they are rated for? This way you don't over power the drivers
I tried a pair of Lii Song F6 drivers. Shrill and sibilant. The Real Audio guy Jonas, says they need to be broken in very slowly... Then they will stop shreaking. But i blew one up. Going to try the F-6S next... Beautiful orange plastic baskets!
Haha thanks man. I’ve been playing them night and day, it already sound better. Also I added a little filter to lower the highs for now. Let’s see after broken in.
Where is the analysis of the design based on which you decided to make this box? where are the response, phase, impedance, delay, offset curves and generally all their reasoning and design work? i'm sick of seeing carpenters copy random boxes and call them speakers... you tried to copy the design that came with the speaker which is at least wrong, not to say false... the correct design for this particular speaker , it is 40lit total volume, with a 72mm diameter tuning tube and a total length of 165mm without flared ends, and F3 frequency from 41hz to 46hz depending on the damping material, and the size of the room...
Hey brother, l just stumbled across this channel and am really enjoying it! I've been building speakers on and off since the early 2000's and am ready for my next project. I learned my way into DIY via the guidance of guys like Paul Carmody and Jeff Bagby. I played with full range speakers early on and was just so disappointed with the outcome. I would always have major spikes anywhere between 800Hz to 3KHz that just couldn't be tamed regardless of how much filter you threw at it. It looks like technology has come a long way. If you're ready to share plans I'd love to make this my next project. I look forward to hearing from you! I'll do you proud!
Hey Greg. Thanks for the input my friend. I really wanna upload the designs one day. For now there are some info on the video description. Check it out.
I love this speaker and I want to build this diy Do you have this speaker plans and crossover network ? I want to buy a plans I really want to make this!!
If anyone is interested in the Artist and track listing you played through your speakers at the end of your video. I used Shazaam as I enjoy Latin Jazz, Salsa, besides other genres. The track is: 'Bugalu Arrastrandose by John Runefelt
Sweet video as always. The only criticism I have is the driver choice. RS woofers are very accurate and well behaved, but I have never heard a Dayton tweeter and liked it. I think there is something wrong with them, especially the big ones. They have that one waveguided cheapo tweeter that somehow works in budget builds, but the 28mm series sounds so dirty and unnatural to my ear, I'm surprised people keep using them. Today there are so many choices - Hivi, Melodavid, SBA, ScanSpeak, Seas, Wavecor, Peerless... So many sweet budget tweeters to try like the SB26STAC. I know the prices vary around the globe but one may get an impression from watching youtube, that Dayton has a monopole, which in my experience is not true. There are some budget gems out there. Vifa D25AG in a Visaton 148 R waveguide is one hell of a combination. Wavecor tweeters can also be nice. They have separate chambers for their suspension just like hiend tweeters from Kartesian and Scan Speak. The price difference on these hifi tweeters is not too big I think, but the improvement is audible and easy to justify. They're not as cheap as Dayton, but bang for buck is subjective. You can easily stick to cheap RS woofers in your designs and just improve on the result from 2k up, or lower if you pick a waveguided design like SB26STWGC, Scan-Speak H2606 or the $15-20 equivalents from Peerless :) There are so many good drivers out there, it's a shame people stick to the most mediocre ones... out of fear maybe? And with slightly bigger budget than that you can have the cheapes hi-end tweeter - D2608. Melodavid is a bit more risky because of build quality concerns, but their 25 and 28mm drivers are cheap as chips and available world-wide. If you ever decide to venture even deeper into European market, try things like Seas L16rnx. People are scared of Seas' graphs but their woofers sound fantastic. They have very tight bass and are a lot of fun. They work best with a notch filter, but a single filter, if done precisely enough, makes them sound like an expensive paper woofer. I also noticed you used a plastic SB driver. It's a good driver, but make sure to try their regular NRX2 drivers - they're a great bang for buck. Their aluminium drivers work well for midrange duty too, but are limited by excursion. The problem with the plastic ones is the breakup, which is difficult to tame and it gives them a little brighter timbre than other drivers. They're mostly good for their bass I think. SB made a subwoofer driver based on them and I think that's a nice driver to test too.
Thanks for a great video , one thing other you tubers should DO IS cut the audio while they expain what they are doing like you have , great sense of humour also makes it fun to watch, I think I will have a go at a piggy back version to my three way (originally a tape selector )box as not enough room in my amp , Nice workshop you have and love the speakers.
@22:52 Does anyone know the name of that rectangular slide ruler or where I can purchase one??? I currently make all my rectangular cutouts out of scrap material and that thing would save on a lot of additional labor. Thanks in advance.
@@sonnoradesign There was a ruler guide that you used to make a cut out for the speaker terminal cup at the timestamp in my last comment. Do you happen to know where I can find that ruler or what it is called? I appreciate your help and I love the project btw.
Nice looking speakers but for me they are not hifi speakers…no real twitters …no real woofers you say they play down 35 HZ can’t understand even the klipsh La Scala that they have 15 in woofers don’t go so low … for me it look more like beginner speakers … sorry
