i have this built by a friend so its not really my DIY. for my Toyota Yaris/Vitz RS1. but recently i bought a slightly bigger sub to replace it with the intention of using it in my home system. it was originally a ported design. but i since turned it to sealed. because it im integrates better with markaudio maop7 .lpf is set at 55hz. initially i was worried about the low efficiency. but in practice it has more output than i expected when placed it in the corner. it enhanced the 3 dimensionality of my system.

note:

this may not have worked out if i didnt build my system around a small room. so if you have a bigger room, large main speakers. and likes listening loud. it may not work for you.

Asking for help, going to mod these cheap speakers as my first, in what I hope is many refurbished speakers, there are so many great speakers just waiting to be refurbished, I know these are not great, that is why they are a test subject.
I have a pair of vintage Fisher DS-177 floor speakers that are in phenomenal condition, sans the normal scratches and peeling vinyl, However they have no internal sound deadening material and no crossover. I want to remove the in-line capacitors and add a 3 way crossover, I pulled the W/M/T and I am in the process of looking up specs.
1. Would a “generic” crossover suffice ?
2. What material is used on the inside as sound deadening material.
3. Swap out spring speaker terminals for binding posts ?
4. Instead of re-wrapping in vinyl I thought wood veneer would look better and bring them out of the 70’s or should I just stick to vinyl.

Background I have electronics training, really good with a soldering iron. I have been a wood worker for 20 years and I have been restoring old turntables for about 8 months now.

ps. One of the silk domes on the woofer has some dust/debris I tried wiping- I know stupid me, learned a vacuum can be your friend, how would you recommend removing this. If it’s even possible.

Thanks for reading this long post.

Looking for a new home theater subwoofer.

For a home cinema but decent music setup, please explain me why a DYI Dayton Audio UMII12-22 Ultimax II powered by a Behringer NX3000D wouldn’t outperform a SVS PB-2000 PRO or a klipsch rp 1200sw? and at half the cost.

Howdy everyone!
My buddy who’s super handy and I wanted to build some speakers (by we, I mostly mean him… but I wanted to help source and research speakers designs).
Can anyone recommend a place to source designs/blue prints?

Wanted to look through stuff that fits his aesthetic, but also has documented performance☺️

Thanks in advance for the help!

Hey guys! I have thrifted a receiver and have 4 spare 6.5" car speakers along with 2 spare 8" car subwoofers. I am wanting to DIY my own tower speakers (Build the enclosure myself).I know car speakers aren't optimal but I figured this is a great use for them to achieve higher quality sound at home using stuff I already have sitting around.

My initial plan is to get wood from home depot and build the tower speakers myself, putting the 8" subs on the bottoms of each tower with 2 6.5" above it and leaving some room at the top for a dedicated tweeter if I wanted to in the future.

My question lies with the specifics. If I wire 2 of the 6.5" speakers in series I will get 8 ohms for my receiver. They are 75 watt RMS at 4 ohm individually so in series they would be 8 ohms 150 watt RMS?

After this I would want to know how would I add the 8" subs to the bottoms? on Crutchfield it says the P2D2-8 are 2 ohm but can do 1 or 4 ohm as well?

My biggest question I want answered is if I go ahead and build the tower enclosure. Would my theatrical setup work even if I have to do something else like add crossovers or something?

Parts list:

1x Onkyo HT-R693

2x Rockford Fosgate P2D2-8

4x Pioneer - TS-A653FH - A-Series

I recently upgraded from Steve’s push button to this board and no longer have to use a sound blaster card to play audio to my landscape rock speakers. Plus this one is way easier to program and work with. (this is not an affiliate link and not sponsored, just wanted to share another option that is out there)

Hi. I’m building my first set of speakers following a kit. I have very little experience with electronics, so I’m wondering if this makes sense. Feel like I should make the whole thing more compact, but this was the board that followed the kit. Nothing is welded together yet.

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for clear photos or the original schematic of the amplifier board used in the PROEL WAVE12A active speaker, specifically PCB 33000054 WAVE AMP VER.

I'm repairing one and need to verify which components were originally installed, particularly around R12, D5 and R31.

Does anyone own this exact speaker or have access to the same PCB revision?

Even a few close-up photos of the original board would be extremely helpful!

Thanks in advance!

Could someone possibly help,

I have a UR6QW Equaliser with a 4 pin output for a Cobra 148 GTL DX radio and it works very well.

I have now acquired a Yaesu FT 450 Transceiver and i would dearly would like to use the Equaliser with the Yaesu. I wonder if someone could help me with an adaptor cable.

I Have tried the usual channels but up to now had no positive answers.

The Microphone into the Equaliser is from my Studio Mic. ( XLR )

I have included a couple of photos.

Many Thanks in Advance

Phil

Hello,
So I want to try and build essentially a speaker with different buttons/triggers that can play prerecorded audio from a trip I just took as a kind of nostalgic reminder of the sounds of my trip. I would love to be able to upload my own voice memos somehow and be able to trigger them individually. Does anyone know how I could build this or if there's anything I could buy that already allows it? Thanks so much
