Hey, Kirby! Great to see you go from being overwhelmed by 1400 subs to nearly 10,000 in a matter of weeks:) I realized a couple years ago I was about to turn 40 and had always wanted to build stuff like this so I started researching like mad. You're inspiring me to try more. Thanks and keep up the great work!

I've really fell in love with your videos Kirby. Really brings back my interests from when I took an electronics class in school. And combines it with my love for carpentry. I was wondering if you could possibly make a video on the components and what not of a speaker?

Really awesome video! Do you have a video of the speakers playing?

Kirby this an incredibly nice work and amazing finish. I guess the last step is some kind of wet sanding ?

Hey thanks for uploading this. If you listen through a PC you can use equalizer APO (google it) to flatten the frequency response of these drivers. They tend to have a peaky response and no baffle step but that can be easily adjusted (much better than using a circuit).

The effort put in to all these videos! but only 10000 HOW!!

Hi Kirby, Very nice looking speaker cabinets. I read a few comments about the plys in the wood, I like it. I understand Marine plywood is void less and has a nice veneer which could serve as a material to make speaker cabs. I joined Slack on August 23rd. Looking forward to participating in the community, get involved. Take care, C.

Hi Just joined the channel.... I did not catch what finish was used on the cabinet portion? Nice build.... A little "audio" from Kirby would be nice to help decipher the process a little better... thanks!!

hi kirb. I have a DIY speaker with birch plywood. i would want to finish the cabinet this way. you didnt place any stain or oil on this right? the gloss finish is just on buffing? thanks. good job.

Hi, Kirby. I’ve watched a couple of your speaker build videos. Nicely done! But, I’m a virtual newb when it comes to electronics. Here’s my first question. I have an unrepairable Sony sound bar and BT subwoofer - faulty power board. The speakers in both units are good. I hate the idea of trashing perfectly good speaks when they might make a nice Bluetooth speaker. What are your thoughts/suggestions about this project?

what is the wood for the cabinets...just made a 2x3 cnc . you got me thinking. :P

I think speaker placement is a bad idea, considering a 12" sub would make these top heavy if they are designed to stand as shown in the final

Ffs you dont need to be expert on audio to know that 10 inc sub will move hellawa lot of air and create vibrations. Add there teared construction of insulation that is built from small fibers and that WILL get those moving inside the box, ending up into voice coils. Even amateur can tell you that crap on voice coils is not good thing. If box is breathing model, you are just pumping those fibers into room air. Only requirement to know all this is to been contact with fiber insulation materials. In house building trade insulation is the most hated job of them all, specially when it comes to fiber glass insulation. cause all those tiny fibers will end up inching for weeks and stay in your work wear until you replace them.

Nice speakers! I see you used gloves for the pink stuff. I hope its not fiberglass. Im assuming your using a full range Super 12, with a ported enclosure, If so, you wouldnt want to touch fiberglass, so you definitely wouldn't want the particles going into your lungs every time the speakers play. Perhaps acousta stuff, or egg crate foam would be an alternative. love the finish Btw

whats the benefit of wet sanding?

@KirbyMeetsAudio

8 жыл бұрын

Here, i'm wet sanding the clear coat finish to prepare it for polishing. Wet sanding acts as a lubricant and reduces clogging on the sand paper for a more even finished surface. The sand paper is super fine, so it clogs pretty easily. Thanks for watching!

A suggestion - Please do state somewhere in the video the tool being used at that instance.

Like I dont know which circular tool had that cloth like material attached, you used to polish off. Sometimes the size, make is not readily apparent.

You got something good going here Kirby. I really like people, but many times hearing them babble throughout vids can be tiresome. It's a price you need to pay to get to that nugget of new info. Your vids are truly a pleasure to watch. Enjoying your channel.

I would like to guess a non-water based primer. Initially a damped cloth is good to raise the grain of the wood and sand again. But a primer has to be there before you wet sand just to get a good finish before the paint itself.
