@@GarretClaridgeMeerkat In Germany, we had some traditional high quality brands, named Telefunken, Grundig and so on. They were famous for good and well built Radios, HiFi Shacks, HiEnd home audio and decent CRT-TVs. Now both of them are ruined and the Chinese have bought their Corp-Names to flood our market with kitchen applies, low price TVs and f*shit like that karaoke speaker. Shame
If you look closely, the Kenwood kitchen appliances have a slightly different logo and have nothing to do with Kenwood Audio. ;) As for Grundig, Telefunken and Blaupunkt, yeah, it's a shame how the Chinese/Turks have sullied the names with mediocre products. Grundig at least tried to stay relevant by making somewhat decent stuff and staying in touch/making service contracts with traditional high-end AV retailers for a while, but even that has completely gone to shit now, sad.

@@TamerlanRespawn Yup, it is just a shame. These companies were always for fucking solid products in their midrange. You paid a bit more, but got a tv in the 90's and that thing was trashed, because otherwise you would still have that today.

Garret there are two reasons why I am subscribed to you. One is that your my entertainment TH-camr. Two is that you do very well with your videos. Which I will give two thumbs up emoji's.👍👍
The coil on the tweeter is possibly an inductor that together with the capacitor, form a 2nd order high pass filter. Just using a capacitor on its own is a 1st order filter.
They are pretty nice actually, I have some JVC gigatube whatever here for a video but I've been holding them for a couple years for some reason.. will let them go some day for sure they are getting a lil rough
I have that smaller verson and was given to me for Christmas as one of those secret Santa gift. I was expecting a better Speaker but. I wanted to just plug the so called woofer into the wall.
Holy, you're still uploading? Haven't watched you since 2015 (i was 9 back then LOL) but now i'm actually 13 so Coppa can take a big ass L. Anyway, been watching you since 2012 or so. Keep up the good work and just a reminder that you never fail to amaze me. Peace.
These pos will never replace a real stereo. I know several family members who have replaced a real stereo system with these piles of junk. Thank you so much
The coil on the piezo tweeter is a kind of coreless transformer which transforms the voltage upwards to drive the piezo. This is also the reason why the capacitor (and the resistor) is connected in series to the piezo. Without a transformer the piezo can be connected directly to the amp (because it's like a plate capacitor). The amp output voltage should not be more than approx. 25Vrms to not distroy the piezo. But piezo tweeters often sounding not good.... Funny video! Tiny magnet of the speaker :-D I have some 12" PA-subwoofers which has a 4" voice coil (18sound - 12LW1400)! That's the way it should be! ;-) Greetings from Nuremberg, Germany.
I was at one time a vintage collector but gave it up, sold my good ones but people wanted to see some macs on the channel, still think they are cool as hell and own modern macs but been on windows lately for adobe editing
24:50 is why I fitted piezo tweeters to the PA speakers that my school have when they blew the original compression drivers by clipping the hell out of the amps, no way are the replacements gonna blow, the amps in them can only provide 150w! Also, I reckon if you fitted a proper 15" driver in that enclosure and ran it at a decent amount of power, the SPL would probably blow this cabinet apart.
Hey garret! thanks for the vids...Just wondering if you could do a review of the system that you currently use for yourself and then perhaps destroy some more shit :P but would be cool to hear about your setup and how it sounds since youve probably tested more speakers than most people in the world hahaha
Another thing for those "DJ" sound boxes-you can get toy ones that are better.Headphones--used to use them when I lived in an apartment place.also use them while riding on an airliner or in an airport.Drowns out the noise of both.The set I have is noise canceling.Great for those places.
I have one similar to this only it's stereo and the speakers are stacked. It's called the ART+SOUND party speaker, and they added a FAKE SURROUND to the speaker when the real surround is as bout as thick as a 3.5mm plug for your aux. Edit: It's about as hollow as the 8 inch Sylvania in the video and I picked it up for $30
See if you can get your hands on a Soundcore Rave bluetooth speaker. I'd love to see how much they can take before giving up. I've had one for a while, and from what I've seen and heard, they're pretty tough. Could be a decent challenge for you to blow it out.
What are you found with those Chinese speakers is that they try to make them seem like they’re super powerful and like no outdo any speaker I had one that actually kind of tricked me into thinking that it was a dual voice coil subwoofer but it turned out that the connection was just a crossover for the Twitter but was never connected someone explain that one to me
@@bluecrafter_ It's like those old 12" speakers in 50's radio-grams, my AWA Hotpoint has a 7/8" coil in the 12" speaker and small alnico magnet, the valve amp put out 3w
Garret the coil on the piezo tweeter is a choke coil for the piezo, if you go to walmart and look in the audio section look for little tweeters that say 500 watts, they are fake ass piezos and they have a coil also
I feel like everytime Garret brakes something he blacks out during the braking process. Then haves the most weirdest realization I've ever seen. After he destroys it.
These things only really exist because people want LOUD, I work in retail and people just want LOUDNESS for cheap. Small JBL flip speakers get returned of these all the time. Get a big speaker driver and the biggest enclosure for the most efficiency. Throw in a cheap amp since the sensitivity is off the charts. And boom you get your LOUDNESS but you lose compactness and quality.
You should try/do an altec Lansing sonic boom. They're sold on Amazon and at Target. I have an older one that right out of the box has had issues. They're not the best for the price. But they're pretty darn durable.
I dont use Headphones very often, because i don't like them. I have a pair of old AKG K240 which do the job with a matching driver device. Except from a shitload of bass, i'd love to hear some voals and treble, which makes Beats by Dre or AirPods not an option.
It's amazing that the amplifier has so little power that gashing a huge hole in the woofer made absolutely no difference in how it sounds!
