How to build a Pa Speaker? A lot of people are asking that, and they should. Take the JBL SRX815, it is close to $3,000 a pair. In this video, How to build a PA speaker, I wonder if I can design and build a similar PA speaker for closer to $500. If I can, that would be an insane value! So come along and watch how to build a PA a speaker, as I show you how I designed it. And see how close I got to my $500 mark.

You have some very excellent designs but there are always questions that need answering. I joined your forum (March 2024) but there's no moderator. You don't reply to questions. Someone else does and that's after a week or longer. If you're going to have a forum, please be there to answer questions. You are after all, charging for your plans, so expect questions. Thanks!

As of Jan 7 2024, woofer went from $150 to $200, tweeter from $50 to $80!, and waveguide from $9.73 to $18.98 (Dbl)!!. So from $210 - $300 per speaker or 70% increase ... my salary in 3 years- 6%. I'm sure crossover components and wood supplies have doubled as well; kind of knocks the fun from DIY projects doesn't it? Glad others are getting rich.

Finished mine several weeks ago. They are mainly going to be used for an outdoor theater space, however I was able to do some listening indoors for a few days. They sound amazing. I am amazed with how good the compression drivers sound. Also listening to several tracks of Victor Wooten which is primarily bass guitar, I am in love. I have a cousin that plays bass and have heard many hours of practice. While the sheer output can't match dedicated powered bass towers, the sound is reproduced better than any other tower I have owned. If I ever have the space to rebuild my home theater room, after having several children I had to disassemble the space I was using, I will definitely build a few more. Thanks again Toid.

@daveristic7895 2 года назад

Sir, excellent on you for building these! I realize the finish or visual appeal was not your goal with these, however some simple steps will significantly improve the finish. Use a sanding sealer on all the MDF...2 coats with a brush, sanding in between coats with 320 grit. Prime with 2 coats, sanding each coat with 320 grit. If you are not spraying the finish coat of paint, use a foam roller. 3 coats sanding in between with 320 grit. 3 coats of poly, sanding in between with 320 grit. Its not complicated, just requires some patience. Make them look as good as they sound.

Talking about JBL.......i always LOVED the old 70's and 80's very big JBL HiFi speakers, the 43xx seties with big 15" woofers, remember the deeeep bas (west cost sound) these fantastic speakers coug giv with the big soft 15 woofers. Any chance that you would try to build a clone of such a vintage JBL studio monitor for hifi?..... I was always wondering what characterize these highend 12 and 15 inc JBL woofers especially for hifi, and if there are cheaper alternatives to them out there?

@Newschoolcovers 7 месяцев назад

The idea is basically good, but I would have extended the budget a little if I were you and then done it better than the original JBL. A 1.4" high frequency driver on a larger horn belongs above a 15" woofer. With your current crossover, the 15" driver will beam badly in the upper frequencies because it has to play way too high. The HF horn will then open up again above it. You would also see this in a horizontal dispersion measurement.

The horn tweets give it quite a few advantages with this particular build. And give it a really wide sound stage while maintaining a very high sensitivity. Which means you don't need to push it very much, which makes it a very dynamic speaker.

@MrBrymstond 3 года назад

I'll bet it sounds awesome in a night club for what the person bought them for and maybe hang them out of the way so they can project and I know the woofers sound better close to the ground, but you could always have a sub on the floor. PA Speakers got a bad rap because some think they're only good for bulk power while sounding fair, but I have PA Speakers with some killer sound. What would make these incredible for use in a larger band type music hall high quality sound would be two 15" woofers and a bigger Horn and have a short pole to be able to attach it directly into a subwoofer enclosure so the main speaker sits 2 or 3 feet on top of the sub with a pipe separating the two. I know Florida still has bands and karaoke at most bars, but I worry it will all go away everywhere. I had a outside anniversary party at my house with 50 people or more and cranking music last August in New York and the cops just drove by over and over with no problems if you can believe that as the cars lined up down the street.

Rave style speakers are usually horn loaded so that the enclosure has a massive bump in frequency response. These might be ok but you'd then want to build some purpose built subwoofers to add more thump

The baffle too thin will you...? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@FibionDyke 2 года назад

can you build a Definitive Technology BP9080 High Performance Tower Speaker pair & Center (CS9080) which cost $5097 for less than $1000

@brianpoggenborg9021 2 года назад

So what are you using for crossover? Do I buy a scheme for that as well from you? Ain't no good without good crossovers.

@Toid 2 года назад

It's in the plans

@philpitt5308 3 года назад

These look impressive, though their power capability and sensitiveity quite high, I wonder how they would perform on a low power 20watt class a amplifier. Any thoughts would be great.

@el34glo59 3 года назад

Probably greatly. They're sensitive

For the crossover could I use this pre-built one from Parts Express? PRV Audio 2DF1800 2-way, Part # 294-2867

@Toid 3 года назад

Not to get the response I showed.

@richardbouchard1941 3 года назад

@@Toid Oh, okay. I have an older JBL SF25 PA speaker that I acquired a while back and I wanted to use this build to turn 1 dual 15" speaker into 2 single 15" speakers. I have a good grasp of the design and the hardware is already in the shopping cart. The issue is the crossover. I am willing to make one but I would need a parts list and a wiring diagram. Any help would be greatly appreciated even if it's just the specs I need for the crossover and I'll google "how to make a crossover" until I figure it out or buy a DSP. lol The replica build videos are definitely interesting to watch. Keep up the good work!

Unable to find information at website/store: how are plans delivered? Download? Mail? Format?

@Toid 2 года назад

It goes directly to the email that you purchased it from. However the great thing about buying it from my website is, you can sign into the website at any time and redownload your orders from your orders screen.

I'm thinking of doing this to a pair of HPM-60 that the previous owner cut 12 inch car audio subwoofers into the 11 inch holes...the only hiccup would be the original woofers are 6 ohm...so all new cabinets, but keep all the old internals and buy new 15 woofers.

it is not the same or similar speaker. JBL SRX drivers is much better then parts express daytons.

The speaker plans were remover. Please. Repost.

Could you please share the diagram ( Crossover Frequency ) thank 11:35

@Toid 11 месяцев назад

It’s in the plans which are in the description of the video.

@amgineacoustic 3 года назад

No way they worth a ything like $3000 most of those kind of loudspeakers are anything better than junk. Shoving a driver & horn in a box is a joke. So many of them out there demonstrating most brands know very little about audio

@onezonemega 3 года назад

I am looking for JBL K2 9800 or 9900 plan. Can you clone those speakers? I think there are a ton of people will buy if you can clone those JBL.

@ev1558 3 года назад

Well done. I also like Parts Express :)

@Floridaoutdoor 2 года назад

Why don't you sell these cabinets?

@bigd9706 Год назад

How much do the crossover parts cost approximately ? I am thinking of building these speakers but need to calculate the cost. Would be great if you could give me a clue.

@crztrn1 Год назад

simplistic me again second order on woofer meaning? 3rd order on tweeter ? simple l pat ?????😳

@Toid Год назад

The plans, lay out exactly what you need and give a schematic. Basically you’ll need two components for a second order crossover, three components for a third and two for an lpad. In terms of custom crossovers that’s about as simple s it gets. If that doesn’t make sense, after you get the plans, feel free to email me and I’d be happy to walk you through whatever you need.

@ricardoperez-ms8dp Год назад

Would it been have possible to buy the same model jbl woofer? Just curious if it’s even possible to get your hands on one. Thanks!

@SzechuanChickenDog Год назад

Would that woofer ring really be enough support? I'm genuinely asking. I understand it's ultimately thicker but still only glued to that thin piece of mdf. Wouldn't making a double baffle be much more rigid? Would lose some internal volume but maybe just add some or account for it with increased port size, so the frequency response says the same? Really great video!

@josealfredfernandes 3 года назад

Hey brother. What do you say about DIY 1. Danley J5 caleb 2. Danley TH812 SUBWOOFER 3. Mccauley m421 SUBWOOFER 4. Bose MB24 WR SUBWOOFER Btw, you won a subscriber. Would really appreciate if you look into my requests for possible plans & crossovers. Note: please use Faital Pro drivers.

@bryan9857 Год назад

Neither this or the klipsch video show a crossover. Why don’t you show that?

@Toid Год назад

They are in the plans which are in the description

@robertrousseau3361 2 года назад

Nice video, I do not have the tools that you have to build the enclosures. Love the design. Reminds me.of the old Mach 1s I used to have 2 pairs driven fom hafler dh 500. How do I obtain your email address ?
