Pro Vs DIY Bluetooth Speaker Build!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.ค. 2024
- In this video, I've partnered with Inventables to create some portable Bluetooth speakers! Each speaker represents an opposite end of the spectrum. One is a simple speaker that most DIYers could make in a couple of afternoons and the other is one that a pro might make. They both sound great, they both function the same, but one looks a bit better than the other. Oh, and one lucky viewer will get to take home the pro speaker!

Insanely cool build! I'm definitely inspired to build one of these!
Thanks Michael! I don't know if you've got a sound system in your new workshop, but this might be a great way to get some tunes going in there 😀
Right!! I am too!

hai zac bulids,
your project is wonderfull.💪
keep up spirit to share other sound systems, your creation is usefull for me because my hobby is make speaker too,. my last creation is mini bluetooth speaker using PVC water pipe but still not perfect and litte bit annouying sounds. although i do trial 3 weeks with 8 ohm 5 watt speaker.
so i hope get many inspirations from yours to make my creation better next time.
if you have suggestions, let’s me know. 😊
Pro-tip: when using magnets for assembly, pair each magnet with a piece of steel instead of another magnet.
Good call, thanks man!
Wait, why?
@@Hermiel It will more than likely stick better.
@@Hermiel It makes alignment easier and more forgiving while still giving you all of the holding power needed.
I prefer magnet to magnet as it's self centering, and if you use north on one diagonal and south on the other, you can make the facia repel if it's the wrong way up, which could help if the drivers are positioned off centre
2 Tips from an audio engineer:
you dont want magnets near the speaker cause the magnetic field will interfer with the coil.
and those wooden grills are likely to produce some high frequent distortion. Make them thiner or better leave them out!
Anyways great design!
The grills are going to cause all kinds of distortion, not just high frequency. Ideally you'd never use a grill, but these are particularly obstructive, not much to do about the thickness though...
@@lio1234234 in acoustics every object must be seen as a relation to the wavelength. For waves with long length (bass) the grid is invisible because of diffraction. Therefore you will not have any distortion.
Unless you are building a boominator
I don't think those magbets are near the speakers because pseakers have they own closed magnet fields..
It's the mid and high frequencies that will be most effected by the wood baffles ,a single full range speaker will have a lumpy output at various frequencies that's part of the reason for multi driver array's but that's a whole new can of worms.
Love your builds Zac; I learn a ton from watching you think through a project. Thanks for showing the good and bad and how you adjust; really helps in my own learning & I really appreciate it.
1 mistak, the solid grill holds up the "sound throw' for at least 40% Listen to it with and without grill. I bet you it sounds better without. Great build!
Чел делал декоративный элемент интерьера, просто симпатичную коробку... Это явно не для музыки...
@@user-tu2ep8tm8p , understand that it's not the best sound, but no reason to completely kill the sound by putting a board in front of the speakers.
Actually two mistaks
Loving this build! I make a natural sound amplifier on the lathe, but I love this idea! That face plate for the box is slick!!
I love this build. I worked at Parts Express back in it's early days when it was located in downtown Dayton Ohio. One of the best places to get speaker components.
That is gorgeous. Love the two tone design, it looks very high end. Great job as usual!
Absolutely amazing piece. Beautiful design and technique. You inspire me to keep pushing with woodworking projects. Keep up the amazing work!!
Oh yeah! That CNC cutting model is a bargain, it barely costs three thousand dollars Lol
I often use countersunk magnets and fit one surface mounted on one face, and the opposite face has them in a hole just slightly deeper than the two magnets together so they never actually touch ( you don't want fragments of neodymium coming loose if they connect)
Another benefit of this is that the surface magnet gets pulled into the hole like a peg, which is really satisfing and keeps the facia rigidly positioned.
Also, if you put a north and a south on the face and the opposite in the holes, you basically magnetically key the facia to only fit one way
Love it all and especially liked the temporary half bleached half natural grill look.
Have a small cabinet project coming up and now I’m rethinking my wood choices.

Awesome build Zac. Thank you for the inspiration. I will definitely be trying this build and I might add an inlay on the front fascia. Cheers!
Hey Zac, as usual I thoroughly enjoyed the build. Impressed with the design elements - the miters for the box so that the wood grain has continuity, and the bleaching... I've never thought that was an option! Keep up the good work and the passion for building.
Probably couldn't expect you to send me a speaker all the way to Botswana.
Absolutely stunning - the pro one is next level for a portable speaker build. Really want to do a build like this and this is great motivation :)
Well done as always!
Thank you so much for the kind words and watching the video :)
Just amazing! Great build as usually Zac!
I like the gap around the front. Nice touch.
Love the video, it was incredibly useful to see how you cut the miters on the speaker box. Also, loved how you showed the bleaching process on the walnut. Kelly Wearstler has bleached walnut stairs that are just beautiful.
Thanks Torrell! Those cuts were definitely a bit tricky, but all is well that ends well haha. I'll definitely check out those bleached stairs, that sounds awesome.
Hey Zac, this is one of the better Bluetooth speaker builds I have seen so far. Great work. Keep them coming.
Thanks Vince!
I liked how you did the dry fit, and how clean the final speaker came out. Very professional.
Thank you! I always dry fit before glue ups, saves so much headache!
For small projects like that Dupli-Color clear coat .It's for automotive use..
I find to be an excellent choice that provides a very durable finish.
Amazing build Zac! I’m curious of how these sound.
Just out of curiosity, did you build the enclosure in accordance to the driver specifications?
Thanks Mirza! And yes the interior volume is an important part of the design!
So dope! Your speaker builds keep getting better
Great build. Actually it's the first build of a DIY Bluetooth speaker that looks great!
I have the same kit and haven't built it yet. Thanks for the inspiration!
The accent makes the total difference when working towards a finished product, and this is just that, a perfectly representable product. I love the look of that walnut! I would love to try making something like that!
His accent is barely noticable
Killer work on this one, Zac! Really appreciate you sharing all the mistakes you made
The way those edges interlock makes that box incredibly durable when I like the way the roller makes the black paint look like vinyl
I like the magnetic cover. Nice touch!
That’s awesome Bluetooth speaker!!! The wood looks great and combination. Keep it up.
That’s an awesome very usable diy project! Thanks for the inspiration. 👍
Such a cool speaker, love seeing your work!
Amazing! Super sleek! I'd love to own this! Great work!!!
Super rad!! I absolutely love your videos and this is definitely one of my favourite projects you’ve done!
Brilliant speaker build. I just ordered a Onefinity CNC to build something like this in the future.
New to your channel but I'm loving what you've made. Really enjoyed the sound proofing panels and the split concrete table!
Thanks Marc! Really appreciate you checking out the back catalog :)
@dayzlun
The front panel design is what I liked the most ! and it's actually so cool that magnets keeps it in place!
Looking forward for your next DIY projects !!
I should try and make one of these. Looks so sick!
@selljo
I love the contrast that the bleached walnut adds; great work!
That is awesome. I need to try this!
@ernesthennie. The walnut looks amazing. The varnish really seemed to have brought back some of that amazing grain detail as well
Definitely need to start building these for the house.
Really fun build. The 22 minutes flew by. Keep making great videos!
Thanks Mark! I try to edit them down to just the important (and fun) bits haha. My philosophy with video is "no wasted time", yet somehow I keep managing to make 20 minute videos haha.
Beautiful work Zac!
@OGShua
This was such a cool build.
I love the way you assemble the box to keep the grain going around it.
Love this build! Would love to see a surround sound diy build. Keep up the great work!!

@Techserract
Man, I work in IT and since the pandemic I've gotten myself into woodworking and I love it. I watch TH-cam videos to get inspired and you're like an awesome sauce of goodness for inspiration! Thanks for doing this builds and giving stuff away! Love to see more! Have a great day!
Thank you so much Andrej, that's really inspiring and nice for me to hear! Definitely gives me motivation to keep going and keep creating!
Amazing design of the speaker and definitely love the walnut
Please make more videos more frequently. 🙏
I was intrigued by the craftsmanship of your work. I did carpentry work fot great deal of my life. I was pleased your presentation & design. Great job! 😊😊😊
Great build Zac, thanks for all the tips in you videos!
My pleasure thanks for watching!
Insanely good looking build!
love the editing, nice work!
Sounds is totally Incredible
I’ve recently found your channel and I’ve just been bingeing them. Keep doing what you do
That’s a fantastic build!
Great build.
very cool!! loving all these projects!
both look dope as hell Zac great job
Zac, that is a beautiful speaker! Very classy
Loved the final result, but better was the whole construction process
Great build! I love the finish!
Thanks man!
Thanks for sharing! Nice video👍
This looks incredible!
Awesome build
Looks awesome! Nice build :)
Beautiful looking speaker.
Hey Zac, awesome job on the Bluetooth speaker! Keep up the great content!!!
Cheers,
Victor
never paint walnut.... good choice on the bleaching. I never seen this before and now have an inspiration. Thanks!
Beautiful work, Cheers!
Great work. Great inspiration
Gosh! this was thrilling! thank you for sharing.
Take it to the next level by using passive radiators to get a much fuller sound. Nice build
Awesome work and details.
Love that build! Reminds me of the time when I built my own speaker when I was 16. (lothnh )
Great project
Zac said simple one but it came out lit. Imagine if he said he will build a complex one 😍
awesome build!
another great build
Awesome build!
Cool video! You bring so much inspiration to DIY stuff.
Thanks Robert!
They are both pretty nice. 😍
@reviewyca
Very cool build, thanks for sharing! I recently took an old cabinet speaker and roughly wired in a Nest Mini to make a Retro Nest Maxi - but this looks so much nicer, inside and out!
Nice project.
@vic.leeee
Beautiful speaker, Zac! Thank you for taking us on your journey. I love the look of the wood grain waterfall!
Just discovered your channel, it's really nice and easy to understand for a french !
I may look forward to build one of these speakers but quite hard in a flat.
That's awesome! Glad it translates over so well.
@keenanpress looks awesome mate! Really like the brass and leather handles
Great work
Looks great. Good job. I just made one out of old bubba keg. 👍🏻
I know I'm seeing this way after the build but loving your work!
Champ !
You know how your content always inspires me and my new creations 😹
Nice job!
Awesome video and speakers! Now I have to go out and finally build mine. ( the Mrs gave me a complete kit for birthday.)
Zac this is such a cool product buddy. Love your work 🙌🙌🙌
Thanks brother! Much appreciated 😀
Beautiful boom boxes. Kinda makes me wanna grunt like toolman Tim with those drivers!
Haha yup, there were more than a few grunts the first time I powered it on!
NICE WORK. FIRST TIME HERE.THANKS
@chivle
Thanks for the video and both speakers came out great. Been looking for info for that type of package set up. You just helped me a bunch!
Love the look of the walnut. Great build video--thanks. Michael Builds channel sent me :)
Thanks Cole! So nice of Michael to shout me out like that, thanks for following through and checking out my channel!
The walnut one is beautiful! I've seen walnut bleached with just regular household bleach before and it seems to work pretty well. With the details you put in, I would probably have just dipped the wood into a small container of bleach instead of trying to brush it on. I know I'm months late, but for an inexpensive sprayer I actually picked up a paint sprayer from Harbor Freight to paint my fireplace and have been using it to spray my finishes as well. Think it only ran me about $20 on sale...
I bet they sound awesome!
Nice work!!
Loving it man
