Welcome to DIY AUDIO. Maybe just to inspire you to make that first speaker build. Maybe just to give you an idea of what components you need or maybe to provide some tips and advice on drivers, amplifiers etc.
Full DIY speaker builds that should be easy to follow and with all parts for the builds listed in the description. I also try and review the drivers/speakers I use in these builds to give you a little information that you can use in your decision making.

I am interesting in replacing the original 4.5’ drivers in my bose 141s I understand I can just buy better more modern speakers but then it wouldn’t be a project would it. Do you have any recommendation’s for replacements.
Guess you have to decide whether to do a whole build, just replace the drivers or buy some second hand 141's. Problem with drivers is they usually need specific volumes in the cabinet to achieve their full potential! Best of luck though!! 👍
I have two of these drivers so I’m going to do your build. Do they need baffle step correction? Lovely build and great vids thank you
Hi Martin, I didn't but guessing you could add a simple baffle step, a few have said it would be wise to do so. Good luck with your build!
I just got one and its super quite, a bit ridiculous, I assume it needs a bigger power supply but where do I get that?
The one I have isn't super quiet, maybe there is a problem with yours? Amazon do power supplies just check max power but I think 24v is max input power (supplied with 12)
Are these speakers better sounding than the red ones ? Nice job love the narrow appearance , and a fan of transmission line speakers .
In my opinion yes but different sound as different drivers
Beautiful.
👍
Ok maybe I won’t build these speakers after all 🤦♂️. Great to see someone with the knowledge and resources to see it through. Amazing job!
👍
Is this all from a single sheet of plywood? Thanks.
About a sheet and a half.
What is your favorite MarkAudio driver ?
Of the ones I've built with and reviewed, I'd say the chn-50 for small builds (it's only 7w but great little driver) or the 4 inch CHR-70 is great in the right sized cabinet for an average sized room.!
@@DIY-AUDIO what about Alpair ?
@@andrejsjegorovs615 Not had the chance to make a build for one yet!!
Nice job but without showing any frequency response, It's hard to judge the work.
👍
Great build. Thanks for sharing
Thankyou!
VERY NICE POST
👍
I'm concerned for your ears.
?
Beautiful work, great final product, terrific! I wish I had the tools for it. Would it perhaps be possible to make the construction plan available?
Hi Hannes, unfortunately I don't have these. It was one of the first builds I made and stupidly I lost the original drawings
So how do you think compares this speaker with the "Le Petit"? the one of most famous single driver speaker?
I haven't heard the 'le Petit' in action and haven't tried the Fostex driver usually used in that build. All I can say is that in my opinion the Markaudio drivers are excellent (for the money) once run in and although I like this design (the one I built here) , I personally think it's slightly over engineered as there is no resonance from the cabinet at all. Some think this is how it should be but, for a full range driver and the type of music I listen to, I personally like a little resonance (think acoustic guitar) . This may be achieved by building in Plywood as apposed to MDF though.
The only thing negative is the finish of the clearcoat, it's awful, brush finish is not suited on this build...
I end up using a water based clearcoat and it was disappointing but I have the option of sanding and re-doing it!!
Can you recommend a budget amplifier for small bookshelf speaker, planning to build one bookshelf after years
Depends what you want to achieve. A Fosi amp is going to be fairly cheap with Bluetooth. I'd look at something with a bit more connectivity tho like Arylic. You can then add your speakers to your TV and stream music (better than BT). Link herewww.arylic.com?aff=105
I have a set of Boston A25 speakers. Would you say this is a suitable amplifier? Great overview video.
Must admit I don't know them. Guessing depending on wattage of your speakers you will be fine. I like the slightly warmer sound that you get with tube amp for my full range drivers. I've not tried it on two way speakers.
great job!
Thanks 👍
Hello, would connecting a 100w subwoofer to this TPA3116 amplifier be enough, or would I have to look for a more powerful amplifier?
To get everything out of your 100w sub, you would need to check the power supply you would be using, as although this amp is rated at 100w for the sub and 50w x 2 for the l + r drivers with the average power supply you may only get 70% of the max power. So, to get the full 100watts, you may want to consider a bigger amp but, that will obviously cost more!! Hope this sort of makes sense
@@DIY-AUDIO okay, thank you very much for the answer
full range means woofer cone is a MOVING tweeter wave guide
Thanks Doug
Fantastic 😍 Great and celan Job 👍🏻
Thanks👍
Ayima has the clearer sound
👍
Liked your build, but why the cheap wire and press in clips.
As its not a 'high' end/powered build I personally don't expect any noticeable problems with using the wire I did especially as it's about a foot long, or the female connectors (I assume this is what you meant by press in clips?)
You’re in serious need of a dust collection system to save your lungs!!
I have set up and also wear a mask when cutting the MDF😁
Great stuff, I hope I will find the measurements for the internal transmission line baffles somewhere.
👍
Sir, have you tested 3" aiyama speakers?
Yes, a review on the 3" AIYIMA is on the channel
is that GHXAMP is the AIYIMA under different name?
Could well be, I think there's a lot of generic Chinese products with different names
Where is the analysis of the design based on which you decided to make this box? where are the response, phase, impedance, delay, offset curves and generally all their reasoning and design work? I'm sick of seeing carpenters invalidate an entire science... what you're showing us has nothing to do with a speaker. it's a box with a loudspeaker...
Blah blah blah. Read what the channel is about before making comments. There are some complete tools out there!!
@@DIY-AUDIO I've studied what this channel did... that's why I made the specific comment... with me you don't have to impress some ignorant subscribers who, whatever you do, open their mouths and throw whatever flattery they can. face it you have one of the oldest speaker designers and a teacher... of real speakers... not speaker boxes for the internet
А субтитры из-за санкций недоступны? )))
I really don't know I am afraid. Could be the way I made the video!?
Very nice indeed. I have thought about buying a nice tidy pair of Tannoy DC1000's, I have the DC3000's in my living room, and using the DC1000's dual concentric driver to form the basis of a TL speaker. It strikes me that a dual concentric driver with an 8" diameter should go deep and provide good imaging. Any experienced builders thoughts are welcome :).
Thankyou. They are massive tho and the wife doesn't like them because of this! 😂😂
@@DIY-AUDIO My wife said the same about my DC3000's and TDL's. We still keep in touch ;}.
Are you considering the Kasun DL-600 woofer for a project? It could be a great choice for a 2-way bookshelf speaker design.
No, I'm concentrating efforts on Full Range currently
I really appreciate your videos! They're a huge help for people like me who live outside of North America and Europe. By the way, the crossover link seems to be broken. Could you please update it?
Thanks for comment and letting me know about the link. All amended now😁
No batteries?
No, but if you have the knowledge to add them then it'll certainly be viable
just use ferrous disc on one side so don't need to bother about matching the poles on both sides
👍
in my opinion, Aiyima is better every side.
Long term which I have now run them both in, Markaudio is better in my opinion for jazz, classical music (less harsh for many hours of listening) but, Aiyima more punchy for other types of music!!
Looks badass, but a true transmission line enclosure shouldnt have a loading chamber if I do remember correctly.
👍
How is your system powered? What kind of voltage and amperage requirements does your system have?
Parts are listed in the description but, 12v 5amp is more than enough for this little amp.
Tl my rear end. Thats a very low tuned bass reflex.
😂
What parts
All in the description of the video
@@DIY-AUDIO thanks
Beautiful ! You're a great Diyer!
Thanks
Very nice, how much it cost in total? I was purchased a pair of AIYIMA 6.5 to make a Klipsch The sevens style, do you have any recommend?
I bought the amp plate a while back at $100, drivers were €40, feet listed in description £10 and some MDF and glue!!
can u suggest me about fullrange 3" or 4" speaker pls?? I want to build DIY 2.1 Blutooth speaker with 6.5Subwoofer
Possibly the 4" Aiyima may be good if you want to go full range. kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z4Vpl6SAXdfMYZM.htmlsi=4iELBi6pZQTWho4T There are also review of some 3" smaller drivers on the channel
Amazing and beautiful work you have here definitely subscribing
How bass?
Fairly good for a 3" driver but would best be paired with a small sub. But, depends what type of music you listen to!
So impressive and therapeutic... Watching your skill and meticulous attention to quality and detail. Did the golden proportion please your ears?
Thankyou, I've had some people comment that such a large baffle wouldn't work but, they are now my favourite speaker. Superb clarity from the Markaudio driver and a really light sound with good soundstage
Very interesting! I'm chasing the one driver dream at the moment. Crossovers and phase problems are a headache. Have you tried open baffle designs yet?
Nope, not tried open baffle yet. Reckon I'll need a larger full range for that. The Markaudio now run in is great
Dude, I bought the Aiyima 4 inch, what design project do you recommend for it? Would bookshelf bass reflex or transmission line be better?
Probably a simple bass reflex!! Get it the correct size and should sound great!!
Hello, where can I get the bulding plans? Thanks
Sorry, never had the, just an off the cuff design and the speakers are somewhere in Belgium now so, can't even supply the measurements!
Если внутри всё заглушить то звук хуже стаёт. Пробовал на своих)
Haven't over done it as you see in the video. Sound is superbly crisp!!
High grade audio! A Bluetooth environment without wires is preferable. The rising resistance value seems to be small. nice💝
👍
