Thanks man. I was able to disassemble and, dry out, and reassemble successfully after my Echo took a fully submerged dive at my grow room into a reservoir! Saved me $80!

Hey Kirby, I recently discovered your channel. You have a real talent for video production and a great personality as a presenter, not to mention your talents at speaker design and production. Also, you seem like a very nice young man. Thanks for your videos, and good luck in future endeavours.

Thank you for making this. Some substance filled all the mic openings of my Echo (cookie dough maybe? it was in the kitchen), so I had to open mine up to clean them out. Your video made it so easy!

pleeeeaaaaase in the next teardown show (in a corner of the video or something) the sound response charts of the pink noise at different stages of the decontruction. i'm super interested in how the speaker would response without 'crucial' parts like the dome in this instance.

@djijspeakerguy4628
@djijspeakerguy4628 5 лет назад
The sound change was just a different component. The first echo 2s had the original echo woofer, now it is made by a better brand name. I forget if it was peerless or fostex, something along those lines.

Kirby Meets Audio sometime I feel like just buying the spare parts on eBay, like the jbl charge with all the amps, battery’s, and charging port and make my own box and speaker to build my own Bluetooth speaker, with all the features it has already like adding a app and make it stereo. On another note, if you do hack up the home pod, used all those part and add it to your own home pod build. So that we don’t see anything go to waste.
@markoduvall

Thanks Kirby, I also agree with folks below. You should beef this up a bit with a solid mono enclosure made from...bananas, or some type of wood.

Can amazon echo work as speaker without alexa processor? As simply speaker with wire jack 3.5??
@Brandon-gt5hs

You should do a video how to DIY mount the Echo Dot 3 to a wall by simply drilling a small hole to the bottom back portion. There is ample space for a screw head to fit. The new Google Nest Mini has this as an updated feature.

if you messure from that close you will ignore the baffle reflection which results in the baffle step not showing in the graphs.

Any idea if there's a hard reset button? The mute + volume down button combination isn't working for me. The echo is stuck in spinning blue and cyan lights. :(
@mongo2044
@mongo2044 3 года назад
Has anyone figured out what DAC is in this? To get from whatever Amazon sends, it needs to convert to analog. I don't think it is integrated into the amp so, it has to be under that upper tier encased and heatsink run chip.

Wow!!! Best video I have seen so far for stripping down an Amazon Echo 2nd generation. I bought two from a seller on Ebay. They fire up but neither transmit any Wi-fi to your router to enable a connection to them. Reason being is that whom ever bought them originally never connected them to their Wi-fi. Why would anyone do that though?!! So, I was considering making a video myself of a strip down. What video editor do you use by the way? Found the music annoying at either end but hey!!! Loved the video and thank you.

Should do a segment where you take tweeters / woofers from existing products like this and re purpose them into a customer box to get better sound out of them.

Btw. The extra magnet is not for shielding purposes. It's for changing the parameters slightly. Or in other words it's a cheap way to change the speaker a little. Electronics don't care about magnet field. The passives are for the class-d output and for enough buffering for the power supply.

i got a question,, by the power plug on the base of the amazon echo 2nd gen,, the AUX OUT,, would you know if that would be stereo or mono. i understand that you said there is a TI mono amplifier chip and i understand thats for powering the sub and tweeter,, but AUX OUT would be low level non amplified and in this case would the AUX OUT might any chance be in stereo.

I figured it would have a battery inside of it so that it can continue listening once it's unplugged and pretend to be "off". Also a GPS, and a hidden cam somewhere. This thing creeps me out.

If your looking for a smart speaker the Sonos or Google home max have the best sound quality unless you want to buy a home pod but the home pod is over priced and only can be used if you have Apple music and ios devices and that's lame.
