Hi ! I have a Harman kardon go play 1 and i don t know if it will work also this conversion with my speaker.

Saudação de Portugal ! Senhor, Donny Terek; - Dá para mostrar como fazer um tayser? Grato pelo vídeo. ~ Abraço.

Have you checked the maximum voltage input for the amp circuit? I mean, wouldn’t it be easier to make the battery a 5s2p and leave out the boost converter? Then you probably even could use some hand tool batteries (makitas or what ever)

Hi, you wouldn't be able to fit a 5s2p pack inside the battery compartment. The boost converter does not add much complexity. Not sure what is the max input voltage of the amp is.

Hi, The max output power of the step up converter is only 2.5A, and at 18v the speaker draw more current because of its 90w Amp ? Does it work great at max volume? Thanks!

Hi! Sorry for the late reply. That is a very good point, I actually have not thought about that myself. I will do some more testing on current draw when speaker is played on max volume. The speaker still works great at max volume using this step-up converter and is really loud but I will make sure to check if it has any difference when using a higher Amp converter. Thanks!

@@DonnyTerek Hello! Yes do that, i wonder if the speaker can still run on its org dc adaper 18v? or it is just battery powered now all time and must use lion 12.6 v charger? these speaker have great sound the old ones, but only problem is the speaker foam that gets fragile by age and need service, the new one have rubber surrounds around speaker thats hold much much better!, so its not great idea to take that old speaker to the beach near sea water, the foam will shorten its lifetime and gets broken if u play the speaker hard :D anyway nice quality work :)

@@mybmw2008 The speaker can no longer run on the original 18V power supply since it is wired directly to the charging board, it now takes 12.6V which is stepped up to 18V before reaching the amplifier. It could be wired to run on battery or 18V DC power supply but having such a large battery I don't see the need to do that. Yes, this old model does sound very well. I actually like the sound better compared to the newer model which has a passive radiator instead of the ported enclosure like this one. The only drawback of the ported enclosure is lack of resistance to moisture and dust which can get inside of course. I haven't inspected the drivers up close but they seem to be OK from what I can tell. Good thing I'm far from the beach so it will make the speaker last a bit longer, haha! Thank you once again, hope I won't forget to let you know how it goes with the testing of the higher amp step up converter.

2.5 A x 18 V is 45 Watts. Quite good power, no? I like what you did. Probably you could get European money for environment protection because you're using old electronics and keeping them working?

Hi. Do you know what is the tolerance of the power input? Will it tolerate a 19-20V input or will it fry the board? As trying to get it to work from a battery station which has a 12V output. As you wrote with 12V it will be on power save so there is a need for a step-up. The original supply is a 18V which is not very standard. Most Dell etc car chargers run on 19V And I have a Romoss 95W 18-20 eUSB car charger. Might these work fine or would it be best to get a universal car charger with 18V output? This seems more economical for the powerstation as the 220V inverter works with around 85% efficiency and bringing it down to 18 seems wasteful.

This speaker is intended to be powered by a power supply which plugs into an outlet but you could also use non-rechargeable NiMh batteries which is a huge waste of materials to have it portable. My method shows installing rechargeable Lithium batteries that last way longer and make the speaker portable.

@DonnyTerek

Жыл бұрын

Hi, sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately due to the poor design choice of this speaker, the batteries are constantly drained of power since they connect directly to the amp, which even when turned off using the original switch, draws around 0.5A of current. Adding an additional switch, cuts the power from going into the amplifier, saving battery life.
