    I finally got a chance to hear these. The amount of bass and clarity of these are unbelievable! Truly do sound like a high end set of towers. Great job Nick.

      I mean, there's like $500 worth of drivers alone in the build, I'm guessing cost to build around 1500 per speaker when factoring in wood, x-over and time...which if it were going to be mass produced would end up costing probably close to 5k per speaker at retail, a 10k pair better sound pretty good imho. Still, pretty cool design, and I love the fact that the uglies do in fact bump. 🤣

      Thanks man. I really wanted to make these look not the best. I do plan to refinish them later. I just want to make sure that people understand, that and DIY speaker building, the speaker doesn't have to be perfect. In the end, you can still have a great sounding speaker and still have fun doing it. Heck finish you can refinish anytime. 😁

    Looks like a very capable design. It's nice, and kind of rare to see a speaker of modest proportions that can cover the entire frequency range....I mean the ENTIRE frequency range -- no exceptions. I also have an 'Ugly' speaker system in one of our bedrooms... unfinished low-grade plywood, not even totally straight... made them in between houses with little tools. Never did finish them, they remind me of those happy days and I will never 'complete' them! Cool channel Mr. Toid!

    You will forever drive yourself nuts with crossovers because you perfected the idea and now you can't settle for less. This is why I'm calling on you to help me make a killer sounding monster portable stereo, not a boom box. I always had a thing for making grooves for all parts of the box, glue, clamped and screwed and I love Evercoat primer and filler, it doesn't shrink and easier to sand.

I'm blown away with the idea to make my own tower speakers and more. I'll watch more of your content to get more comfortable with it. something that would confuse me would be designing the component to crossover the sound. You might have content on how its done or where to go in buying a kit.

  • @zachtripp5210
    @zachtripp5210 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Nice video and great build. It is nice to set a real build without fancy wood and the like. Those are some impressive drivers. Couple suggestions. I like to cut all my width parts at the same time so I know they are all the same width (top, bottom & all braces). No need to hammer to put braces in! Also, I have had good luck with those aerosol sprayers for glass jars if you want to step up your painting game a little. Final suggestion, if you go your hardware store, you can get a larger drywall knife ( 16" long if I recall) to help to really flatten that putty and scrap off the excess.

Do I pick based on whatever particular hz has the highest DB at a given cuft? My WINIsd shows me the highest response at around 31.5hz at 8.5cuft.

      I do sell the plans for anyone that is interested in the behind the scenes engineering and give away the plans to any of my patreons. They are always able to ask any questions they might have about the engineering involved as well.

      Unfortunately you're correct. I'm in the process of designing a newer version using the new Dayton epique drivers. But it'll probably be 2 months before that videos out.

      my dad was a woodworker and died way to:early of lung cancer. Doctors said sawdust alone wouldn’t have got him but the glues and resins would. MDF is lousy with the stuff and has super fine particles that can get right down into your lungs and find a home... I happen to like your stuff, so you need to WEAR a respirator. Lol
