You are the most delightful, weird and interesting speaker building TH-camr I’ve seen. How you balance taking the technical and craft of your builds serious work while not taking yourself too seriously is refreshing!
Hi! this is pure gold. im from a country wich is terrible for buy anything from outside (Argentina), and i not talking about drivers or amplifiers, i just meaning buy a manual for construction of enclosures, so the theorical materials found in internet is absolutly diamonds for us who love good sound.. and a part of the same, the drivers and amplifiers, we have only two ways: Car audio drivers(nasty) or just wait 2 or 3 months an aliexpress buy (the only online global shop allowed with a internal tax fee of 110%!!), so in the most cases we delight in what is seen behind the horizon. best regards and thank you. sorry for my bad english i just learned from movies ajajaja
Hey my friend! I totally get it. I’m from Brasil originally and we have a similar problem there with imported products. I remember working on car audio a lot when I was younger.
@@Augcliffe so so, the prices are getting stability, that its important, and the imported things like audio are getting normal international prices. the disadvantages of the new president its just this, the internationalization of prices where most damage caused on the food. but this probles is only for who no has incomes, who has a normal work (about 1000usd/mth) can live chill
Mate, this was informative, entertaining, educational, funny, helpful, discombobulating, this is the content that I was looking for! The perfect dosage of infos and length
It's like the retired Italian mafia boss version of Mr. Rodgers , after tripping acid through the entire 60s and 70s , not a bad thing , just adds flavorful spiciness to the mix !!
I am very much interested to learn about this hobby. But for me, you’re the most entertaining but also informative youtuber on this hobby. Thanks for making my day.
Ive used these Dayton reference 7 for several builds but the paper cone version sounds so much better. I am getting a few more of the paper cone to play with.
Good choice of drive units. I've got the paper-coned version (RS180-4P) in the front doors of my car, along with RST-28A tweeters. Woofers are actively bandpass filtered between 80hz and 4KHz, tweeters are high-pass filtered at 4 KHz. Sounds awesome with massive midbass. Aluminum dome tweeters are detailed without being harsh or fatigueing. There's no car audio marketed speakers that can come close for the price of these puppies.
I really liked those drivers. I’d add a second woofer if making this box again. Get more SPL and bass. The tweeters are really clean and articulated. Good choice.
One downside of the Dayton tweeters is that the plastic holding the spade connector deforms very quickly when soldering cable directly. They are not easy to tin without the plastic deforming.
You are a very funny guy, you make the geeky side of speaker design and building fun and entertaining. Keep these videos coming! I’m learning a lot from your videos and will be building my own soon
How in the actual hell do you only have 8.7k subs?! Your channel is incredible. ~ Thanks so much! this is the best rescource I've seen since I FINALLY got my copy of the "Loudspeaker design cookbook". Keep 'em coming! -Dan
@@sonnoradesign I’m a newbie. I’m working on a set of Swan 3.1 diy’s. Love the way you accented the speaker cabinets with the plywood sides. Is there any reason I’m not seeing to not use solid walnut for a similar look? Thanks for taking the time
Hello, and thank you for the video. I just purchased the Parts-Express Samba kit with Baffle only. It uses the paper version RS-180-4 and same tweeter, and I have to build the box. First time for me, so I will use your video for tips and also convert their design to a front slot port because it looks Elegante!
I'm really excited to start a build with some of the reference series speakers but I may use a different tweeter. This build is great! nice work, nice video.
Hey there my friend! Thanks for watching. Yup, they sound pretty good and articulated. I’d like to have more bass and power, maybe a 2 woofer version would help.
Love the design. Love the presentation. I will be using it for a build for a friend, but as a finishing touch, I am going to use black leather instead of paint (similar to Sonus Faber) and veneer the edges. One of my takeaways from this was the trick with the veneer that you used to make the cauls (why faff around planing an angle..)
I liked the personality you added in to your Video. I dont know if you are always like the portrayal in the video but it was friendly and entertaining. The boogy music a nice addition. The info i just soak like a sponge. I was mainly interested in your thoughts on the Reference drivers. Thanks for your efforts. The Latin Jazz at the end was was that Pancho Sanchez? I was encouraged to go ahead and use the Reference drivers. Your cabinet design and work execution was excellent.
Hey Richard! Thanks for watching man!! I really appreciate it. Those drivers are pretty good. Clean and articulated highs. I wanted more bass though. I’d probably build something with 2 woofers next time.
Excellent video . This project is superb . These boxes are as solid as a rock !!! Next time you come to Brazil bring me a pair of those beautiful speakers . Congrats Bernardo !!!
Hello Bernardo. I am going to try something similar to your veneered side panel design. I don't understand how you veneered the edges. I saw you use the saw to cut veneer strips and then you tapped the strips to the bracing boards during glue up. Was that to make them flat? Then what? Did you glue them to the edges of the panels before you glued the panels to the cabinets? I got lost following rhat detail. BTW, they do look like the infinity speakers, don't they? Elegant and classic!
Hey RW! Thanks for watching my friend. The little veneer strips help keeping the center of the wood panels under pressure as soon as the clamps don’t go that far inwards. Just a trick to help. The edges have no veneer, you can see the ply on the sides.
@@sonnoradesign I'll watch it again with that in mind. I thought maybe you started with MDF, not ply. Mine will be MDF and so edge ply for me. I'm just waiting for the snow to melt, so I can be comfortable in the garage a few hours. Thanks, and feel better.
Wow! I forget sometimes that there is snow up north! :) If you do MDF you can use edge banding on the same material as the veneer. Looks good too. I used MDF for the whole box and added the plywood on the sides as a more elegant finish. You can use other materials as well.
Alson , I would like to add, that your woodworking ,and fabrication talents are amazing , 1st video of yours, for me and I am impressed enough to subscribe , I have a good feeling that you have alot that I can learn from !
You make it a joy to watch you design and build. I’m not good with crossovers. The only thing I have done is putting a cap on the tweeter. I’ve been out of it for awhile but I have plenty of drivers to play with. I will hopefully building soon when I get my woodshop sorted. Keep up the fun work I just subscribed.
This design appears to be an extremely cost effective offering that will blow away commercial offerings costing a whole lot more. I hope that people aren't put off by your antics and realize that some very serious design work is going into these projects which all seem to be "big bang for the buck"!. The series cross over type seems to minimize component cost and keep the overall project costs low You might want to look into the SB Acoustics drivers offered by Madisound. Great work.
Hey Toby. Thanks for watching! Let’s grow this thing together so I can make more tech videos! 😆 I will post more on wood, painting and finishing for sure.
Hey Ran! Thanks for watching! Yes. It will work well on a smaller box for sure! Those drivers could go bellow 40 Hz with less than 1 cuft volume and they sound pretty clean and detailed.
@@RanTausi the driver response will change a bit in a smaller box but man, I’d just use the same crossover. If you have the DATS tool from parts express to get the parameters and work on a new crossover, that could be fun.
Hey Shawn. I could have used hardwood all over. Hardwood is very hard though. Have to use the sonic barrier inside or any other damping material. Boenike speakers are all hardwood.
All very good and well done on the build, the only minor criticism is when you described the Vas parameter you were relating it to the actual box size. As I understand it it represents a theoretical box that represents the behaviour of the cone suspension. I might be wrong as I’m not an expert but I wouldn’t want anyone to construct an enclosure to the Vas volume and waste time/money. But kudos to you on your build 🙏🙏
@@sonnoradesignoh I like it on the front, I mean the port being a couple inches from the bottom might look nifty or if the sides extended lower maybe idunno six to ten inches. Just aesthetic ideas; unclear if it would sound better or not. Just less reflections off of floor or desk. Impressive video and build tho I wish I could buy them or trade you for a painting/ fine art artwork!
Really entertaining video..like the combination of technical and investment advice maybe I should look into buying blessy shares.. thanks again for taking the time..
I love this speaker and I want to build this diy Do you have this speaker plans and crossover network ? I want to buy a plans I really want to make this!!
Good vid. But would have been more informative if you could have provided info like what grit sandpaper used, how you got rid of edge seems on yhe front panel, primer used etc
@@sonnoradesign yes, I found a few vid & some web sites explaining the process. It seems easy enough. At this moment, im researching a diy crossover or buy one
Hello Bernardo, as we say in Colombia "que verraquera de video" very good imformation. The speakers sounds great, but we could put an 8-inch subwoofer for more bass?
I suped up the Parts Express #blastbox200 with a slightly oversized cabinet sealed with urethane glue, aluminum passive radiator and oversized sub. Awesome 👍 Subed too
always beautiful works my friend! What do you use raw of the gray primer on MDF? What is the name of that transparent product that you then sandpaper? Thank you!

Good to know. I had those drivers at home though but I wanna try the paper one sometime! Thanks!
@@sonnoradesign Check out the SEAS Prestige paper cone drivers. SB Acoustics too
How’s the low end on the paper cone in comparison to the regular reference cone? You find much of a difference?
@@billymurphy3 they sound very natural and warmer than the aluminum cone. smoother in the mid. Surprising bass response and very fast.

All very good and well done on the build, the only minor criticism is when you described the Vas parameter you were relating it to the actual box size.

amazing speakers for 200$
Those are good cost benefit for sure. Very articulated highs!!
Great design. Wondering if port aught to be a bit higher up...
Hey Chinmey. Maybe. Getta do some measurements but if it’s turned to the back it would probably increase bass response in room.
@@sonnoradesignoh I like it on the front, I mean the port being a couple inches from the bottom might look nifty or if the sides extended lower maybe idunno six to ten inches.

Hey. I’m having a go at building speakers to yours. I do have a question. Why isn’t the tweeter in its own seperate section of the cabinet?
Hey Start. Thanks for watching! The tweeter is shielded, it doesn’t interfere with the woofer.
Hello Bernardo, as we say in Colombia "que verraquera de video" very good imformation. The speakers sounds great, but we could put an 8-inch subwoofer for more bass?
Hi Ivan! Sure man, we can use an 8 inch instead just have to make sure the frequency curve is gonna match the tweeters curve, impedance ….
I suped up the Parts Express #blastbox200 with a slightly oversized cabinet sealed with urethane glue, aluminum passive radiator and oversized sub. Awesome 👍 Subed too
Sounds great!! Thanks for the input Charles.
First time I watch your videos like it question for you, which software do you use to calculate design & crossover?
I’m using XSim for the crossovers and Win ISD for the enclosures!
@@sonnoradesign thank you for take time to answer my question
always beautiful works my friend! What do you use raw of the gray primer on MDF? What is the name of that transparent product that you then sandpaper? Thank you!
Thanks Giovanni! That’s sanding sealer to seal the MDF before primer.
