I really like this one, it looks much neater and was much simpler than all the other ones.

AWEOSME!! I remember suggesting this to you a while ago! great vid!

another nice video..already download the plans..thanks! 👍😄

That amp is amazing! I built a BT speaker with help from your videos before, but that amp allows so many opportunities! Thank you!

I always enjoy your speaker builds! Such cool ideas culminating in a quality end result. Do you think you could apply your same methodology to making headphones? Would love to see your attempt at making headphones.

NICE!!! I need try find in my city...!

Hi @Kirby do you think I can get more power out if this Bluetooth amp if I use 4 ohm speakers? You build calls for 8 ohms. Thanks

This channel is gold dude, so glad i found this

super coool result man!

Kirby Meets Audio I'm thinking to built one like this but in a stronger ammo box, I'm using same speakers u used here, do u think if I add a passive radiator on the back will it sound much better?

How low does this speaker get becuise im planning on pairing 2 of these up with some passive radiators

Anything special I would need to consider if I built a triangular enclosure for a speaker?

Please keep the How to build your own speaker videos coming! Im mainly worried about the woodworking. What would i need to get started? I want to make a wooden bookshelf speaker. How would i make it smooth and look good? and also be sealed?

I like it. Cool!

If I were to build a ported box with a pair of 4" Kenwood KFC1065S that have a frequency range of 45 HZ to 22 KHZ, would it be best to tune the port for 45hz or some other frequency? I plan on using a .50 Cal Ammo Box instead of the smaller .223 or .30 cal.

Hi Kirby, Nice rugged speakers, OD Green, love it. Phil saw his shadow, so, 6 more weeks of Winter, I guess any way you look at it. Keep the builds coming, looking for chip amp reviews coming up. Take care, be good, C. P.S. I like re purposed enclosures and things out of the ordinary, if they lend them selves to good speaker enclosures.

I was wanting to build an Ammo Box Bluetooth speaker using a .50 caliber box, which is about twice the size of this or more, and use 4" Pyle or Kicker speakers, but keep it as simple as possible and be rechargeable. Would this method also work or should I look at doing it differently instead of using the $20 rechargeable Bluetooth receiver amplifier that is in this video?

would you suggest to build it even though I do not live In the US?

молодец! отл работа! nice worck

Kirby! Will these work for this build - Dayton Audio PS95-8 3-1/2"

YAAAAY!!! I love your build videos

super bro!👍👍👍

Is there a good black plastic ammo box that fit 6.5 150w marine speakers on. The front ?

Have you build a 40mm and 50mm plastic box build with 6.5 1/2 marine speakers?

how long will that last on a single charge?

May i ask where I could find those speakers and amp

If the product dimensions on a 6.5 150w marine speaker 7.4 x 7.6 x 7.1 inches what should a plastic dimensions be on plastic ammo box to have both the speakers fit on the front for Bluetooth build ?

how long does the battery last?

Great video and enjoy your channel. I've made one of these and mine can get pretty loud, but with it playing loud (at work in the shop) I can hear the handle rattling (drives me nuts). Would you have any ideas on how to keep the handle from rattling/vibrating?

hi Kirby , sorry to bother you but one quick question. I have 2 Hertz coaxial 2way speakers for my car, but right now I don't have use for them no more. would they make for a good Bluetooth speaker with those class d amps from eBay? and a passive radiator? is like having a tweeter and a woofer in the same spot wich sound good to me

@djsndcx

7 жыл бұрын

A passive radiator will only work when it's used with the correct speaker and enclosure. Otherwise, you'll risk ruining your speakers because they act as if they're in an infinite positively charged baffle.

I'm curious how good it sounds...I have a friend who would love this!

Alex W. The boxes can flex and resonate badly. The batting helps dampen it (and helps isolate the channels, as the open space inside will tend to blend the left and right channels since they are pushing against the same air volume; the batting helps slow down the air inside enough to minimize that effect, among other benefits). But if you don't push them too hard they're great. Same sheet metal construction as the boxes most people are most familiar with for audio: their cars. :)

that 2x3watt amp at 4 ohm can handle the 12watt 8ohm speakers wouldnt it be pushing it to much?

@sy7024

Narcizo Chavez Yes but not because there is more power. Since it is a higher impedance there is less power for the speakers. It's output is more controlled so it would work fine, however they still don't match. This just means that it is underpowered but it is very controlled because of the high impedance

You should build a magnetic speaker grill. it would look sick with some neodymiums. Just an idea.

Speaker goes pew pew

Clean build! its a cool little amp with many possibilities. But a little impractical wouldn't you say? I mean, every time you want to play music you got to open the box flip the switch, close the box and only then can you start playing music. And to charge you also need to open the box... I think you could've mounted the amp in a way the charging port could be exposed if you drilled a small hole. Anyways, great video! Your work has inspired me to get into speaker building as well.

If he wanted to, he could have desoldered the on/ connect button and extended it to be on the outside and mount it through the ammo box, but it seems that he is either too lazy or concerned with cluttering the outside of the box like most people do.

Nice. I have a few of these boxes but bigger. Might try this. One thing. BT amp is 3 watts per chan at 4ohms BUT the speakers are 8ohms so you only get 1.5 watts per chan at the speakers due to increased resistance? Correct?

Then don't turn it up that high. The heatsinks are barely enough for the chips and the chips tend to distort quite badly just over halfway because they're not genuine TPA's or TDA's.

does the bluetooth range decrease because of the metal housing?

Sorry to bother you, but what is that black box you put inside?

I am new to the whole speaker building thing, but by using such a weak amplifier wouldn't you not be using the drivers to their full potential? Which is by no means a necessity, but I would like to know why the speaker was designed that way.

Robert Perce Note how much the sides of the can flexed as he drilled. It will flex in use and sound terrible if you run this too hard. Seems like a reasonable setup to me. My only doubt is the Bluetooth reception in a metal can (aka Faraday cage). Or maybe I missed a step for an external antenna of some sort?

Make sure when you calculate your impedance you don't go lower than 4 ohms and don't go higher than 8, max acceptable is 16. Don't use a multimeter to measure impedance as a multimeter measures resistance and not impedance.

some tips: Do not use ammo can for boom box build. If you do keep in mind that these boxes are hard to cut threw. After cutting, clean off any metal particles of the can, because they will stick to your magnetic speakers and trust me its near impossible to scrub them off. And last tip to keep it short insulate box with any type of rubber like material to prevent rattling sounds. Almost forgot. Use bigger god damn speakers :D

You did a really nice job, but the ammo box is made from a thin layer of metal. Isn't that flexing. Maybe you can put wood on the inside and that is probably going to make it stronger and make it sound better (sorry for bad english I'm dutch) And keep doing your builds they are really nice

I like pretty much every building video you did. But this one, i'm not sure i understand it. There is no building (just 2 holes), the sound is probably horrible. It could be cool to build a wood box inside (stronger and better quality sound). Anyway, can't wait to see you next video.
