I started building speakers in the late 1960's and find your care in getting the small details right one of the best parts of your builds. Things like internal damping and good bracing, things that a lot of builders skimp on. Great Stuff!

Amazing speakers! This is probably the 10th video I watched in a row, and I enjoy watching you building these masterpieces! I want to build my own two active bookshelf speakers, and I'm glad I did found your channel, so I can learn something more before I start building them. Do you have a video or article explaining how to measure space needed for certain speakers and how to separate enclosure etc? Also, I would love to understand how to pick up parts for speaker assembly, how they work, what's the best for certain built etc. I'm absolute amateur in speaker build or any sort of audio engineering and I want to learn more before I order parts and speakers for build. I'm a carpenter and should be able to build any sort of enclosure without problems, but I have absolutely no clue what to install in that enclosure for a sound I want from it. Thank you for great videos, I already learned a lot from you, and I'm enjoying watching your videos

@SoundBlab

Thanks. I don't have particular content that goes into much of the detail that you mention. However, I do aim to bring more of that content into my projects. It took me a good 5 to 10 years to learn the basics of speaker design and become fairly good at it, and a lot has to do with the equipment required to properly be able to do it. However, I am still learning with every project I take on! Being able to measure your speakers accurately and to model a crossover is key to designign and making your own. For most, just starting to build a kit or from a build plan is a good start.

Excellent

Very nice job! Even though it's not what I use for listening, I still have a soft spot for those old school designs like this. I'm currently collecting parts to build replicas of the Altec Model Nineteen studio monitors but even though I do have a table saw and a CNC, I'm a little worried about getting clean enough miter cuts. The plan is to use MDF with the veneer already on it but any glitch at all in the miter cuts will mess this up. Thing is, I've heard that getting veneer to look good isn't very easy either but you definitely made it look easy. So I'm not sure if I should use raw MDF and veneer it or try to get clean miter cuts on veneered MDF. It's going to be quite a project, the eBay acquired woofers will need new cones and none of the aftermarket cone rebuild kits are quite correct. One issue is the vented dust cap, I basically have to make them. I have a source for caps with the vent cut and no screen and a different source for the correct screen so I have to put the two together. I found a pair of dividing networks in Japan but probably won't use them. Instead I plan to machine the face plates on the CNC, get them anodized and make the Altec logo skins for them on the laser etcher. The crossover itself is relatively simple assuming I can find the correct L-Pads. I wish I had your skills, even with the CNC etc I don't think I can make cabinets that look as good as you did with the project in this video. Normally I'm not too worried about cosmetics but for these Model Nineteen replicas I want them to look good. Any tips on whether to use veneered MDF and just be really careful cutting the miters or use raw MDF and put the veneer on after?

"Even though the crossover network is not the most complicated...." Love the sense of humor.

Great woodworking skills. I'd be a little concerned about the decorative beading at the edge of the baffle as a source of sound diffraction and I personally don't build my boxes with baffle obstructions. Whether in practice you can hear is the acid test.

The ink as a dye for mdf is interesting. I have a lot of interesting fountain pen inks on hand. I wanna go grab a chunk of mdf and test a few... accent piece with the insane noodlers Baystate blue, having a royal blue face could be dramatic. Wife would probably hate it though. I'm still on the fence about making or buying speakers for our living room. We need speakers that can fill a 20x40 room with a 10 foot ceiling. Would this size box/driver setup handle that?

beautiful speaker! may i ask you, did you measure the frequency response after calculating it with vituixcad? i'm building a speaker, i don't understand how precise is the program and if i have to measure the frequency response myself. Thank you!

Did you consider going with a mirrored pair? My friend, who had two speaker companies, built them that way. He would put a foam gasket around the edge of the drivers when installing them to make them airtight and help prevent any buzzing of the cabinet. He held twp U.S. patents on speaker design.

That’s simply not true at all. Not even the smallest littlest tiniest bit. Neither Wilson, nor Magico build these type of speakers. So that’s a completely moot point right there. And McIntosh just came out with a vintage speaker (a revamp of their first speaker ever, I’m pretty sure) that’s much nicer than this one (ML1 MkII, 12 inch woofer, 5 driver, 4 way), and they cost $12,000. So uh yea. No they wouldn’t. Not trying to be a jerk. But the misinformation, speculation, and general BS surrounding this hobby is just so bad for it in general. Young people read stuff like this, and get put off from the hobby. Because they think one has to DIY, or spend a fortune. And because they don’t want to get ripped off. But they don’t have to deal with any of that in reality. If we all strive to give correct info, and advice. Plus it gets old really, really, fast.

Are the magnets on the midbass and midrange drivers vented? I couldn't quite see. Thank you. Also the crossover designs just about made my eyes pop out of my head! Yikes!

This is one phenomenal build , i just have one dumb question: does the vibration from subwoofer affect the sound that tweeter and mid make? is it more optimal to put each in separate enclosure? how would one avoid that considering regardless of where in room you put the other two , the sub will still shake the other two drivers as well Thank you for your insane content

@SoundBlab

6 ай бұрын

Thank you! Many have made loudspeakers with separate enclosures for each driver, and I am sure it has some benefit, however it is not always very practical. I think the relatively small gain from separate enclosures outweigh the cost involved in manufacturing separates. Not sure how much a subwoofer will affect other speakers in the same room, but again I think we are talking very small gains, if any at all. If enclosures are well built, I think that each driver will perform at its optimal on its own, without interference from others.

Two series resistors on mids not recommended but have fun

Halo , sir is me again , sorry to bother u as i am newbie here , why u put parallel at side big coil for what purpose and about the coil how do u know n measure the value if i have a old crossover for upgrade , kindly advise and share some info to me ! tq tq sir

Excellent speaker design and build. I liked that you went with a 3 way set up instead of 2 way. Yes there are some good 2 way designs, but for the best sound quality you really need a 3 way design speaker. Thanks for the video, and hope others see the quality of this speaker which would be hard to beat for the price doing it themselves. Just need some good woodworking tools. Should compete with new speakers 3x it's price.

Hi，can you do a version of Wavecor drivers? Because Wavecor driver has the same diam 223 and 120. I guess the enclosure dimension is almost the same. And you can get Wavecor driver everywhere.
