Thanks for checking this one out, hope you enjoy it. Check out my other videos for more. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
"Because I want to learn and I want to know more". Still drives me today, that. You seem an exceptional engineer. A pleasure to see you work. Never lose that hunger for knowledge. It'll always take you somewhere cool.
Thank you, mate! I'll bring you some more content soon 😁
That perfectly fitting mitre work was SO satisfying to watch!
Haha, really glad! Thanks for checking out the video, dude! I appreciate the support 🙏 ❤
You absolutely have a gift for metal work. Well done!
Wow, that's a really nice comment! Thank you, John!
You have an amazing skill set i just love what you did here and i learned so much thank you.
Mate, thank you for saying this! I'm really pleased you've enjoyed it 😊
Mi querido amigo: es usted todo un artista.....Mi enhorabuena por ese gran proyecto.....Magnífico trabajo.....Enhorabuena......Un gran abrazo desde Las Islas Canarias (España).............
I dont know anything about monopole antennas, but the stereo is sick! Unique shape and design, not like any other I've seen made out of car stereos!!
Thanks! Glad you like the stereo. Yeah, I've seen some others, but they seemed to look a bit more of a bodge job. I mainly made this one for podcasts and audio books, rather than music. I'm sure I could attach some external speakers and increase the power in the future though. Maybe that will be something to do when I get a bigger workshop!
Lovely tidy job mate! Great style and design!
Thank you, dude! Glad you like it 😊 thanks for checking the video out
That is badass!
Thanks, dude! Glad you like it 😁😁
This is so unique, in concept, form factor, and as a DIY project! ⭐️👍
Thanks for the kind words, my man! Really please you like the project. Thanks for the support 🙏 🙌
@@AndreTKemp -- You're welcome, Andre! Just finished watching part 2, which was also excellent! 👍
Thank you for taking the time to check out the videos, mate! It's heartwarming to me :)
@@AndreTKemp -- My pleasure. You're truly creating one-of-a-kind work for this platform. I know your videos take a lot of time to make, and as a content creator myself, I enjoy seeing how you approach your edits to convey the technical aspects as well as make the footage interesting for the viewer.
I really appreciate that, mate, it's nice to read! I'm thrilled you're enjoying my stuff. You're right in what you say as the videos do take ages to make 😅 especially working full time alongside doing all this. Feedback and comments like this make it all worth it though, so thank you! 😁
I score you 10 out of 10.. PERFECT!!
Thank you so much! So nice to read 😊
Came here from TikTok; love your content❤
Wow, thank you so much! I really appreciate the support, I'm pleased you're enjoying my videos 😊
Please spread the word 😁
That's so nice looking
Thank you! Happy you like how it turned out. Cheers for taking the time to watch the video 😊
@@AndreTKemp I am making kinda the same sound sistem but I have a little problem,I don't have a 10A power supply and I don't know if a computer power supply can provide 10A. Maybe you can give me some advices?
Gosh, I'm actually not sure if a computer power supply would be sufficient. Is it definitely a 10A supply that you need? You can find a link in the video description to the power supply I used in this build if that helps? 😊
@@AndreTKemp I definitely need a 10A power supply,my 3.6A power supply can't keep up with the amplifier.
Voltage x Amperage = Wattage
12V x 10A=120W
I have 3x50w speakers and a 50w subwoofer so I need a 10A power supply to get at least 120W out of my speakers,I currently can up the volume to 30% If I go more than that my speakers start clipping and making weird noises,I tested my car stereo with a a car battery (12v 10A) and had no problem with the volume at 100% my speakers worked just fine.
The problem is that I can't carry around a car battery where ever I need It,I want to make a portable system with the head unit and the subwoofer in the same enclosure and the other 3 speakers In individual enclosures so I need a slim power supply That I can embed In the main enclosure
P.S be careful,If you input more than 10A In the head unit you will blow up the fuse and potentially destroy the unit
That sounds like an interesting project, good luck with it! I'm considering making a portable one for summer 😊
Everyone likes a little color!!!!😂😅😂😅
haha, hope you enjoy the project 😁
@@AndreTKemp sure did little brother!
Really cool and inventive man. You got great energy and the editing is awesome :) subscribed
Thanks, man! Loved your new video too. You did it all in one take; really good presentation that!
Thank you for the kind words and support, glad you liked the video! What did you think to the stereo? :)
@@AndreTKempmuch appreciated bro I was a little skeptical but thought I might as well give a shot as I have to start somewhere :) the stereo is sick mate you got talent!
My guy! Thank you 😁😁
It can be a bit daunting putting yourself out there with the videos at times, but I think you did well with yours. The subject was interesting and your delivery was bob on. Are you doing weekly uploads? I need to try and get my uploads to a more regular schedule; it's just hard to find time for everything 😅
@@AndreTKemp That's really encouraging so thank you man :) I want to release a video regularly, not sure how often at the moment. I'm only working weekends at the moment so I got the time to put into it :)
@@haydn8596 ah, sweet. I've subscribed to your channel, so I'll be waiting for the next one from you. I've turned on bell notifications so I don't miss it :)
Are you still in Nottingham area btw?
I hope I can you into more woodwork!
Haha! You probably are the guy to convince me 😂
dear sir about ur antenna just simply put antenna outside of ur bldg hope tis helps thanks and good day
Cheers, man! Check out the second episode ☺️ hope you enjoy
Can you not attach a car airel outside onto a metal support and plug into the car raido but using a seperate earthing wire runing from the metal support to the back of the radio chassie . There possibly a screw with a nut on it.
Not a bad idea! Check out part 2 on my channel to see if that's what I did 😁😁
The part where the mesh hits you in the head made me lol 😂😂😂
Haha! Glad you liked it, I try and keep the funny parts in. Best when it comes naturally, rather than force it 😅😅😅
What did you think to the stereo?
@@AndreTKemp I loved it!
@@mollysummers1987 Really glad you liked it! Thanks for checking out my content :)
It looks like you have the antenna mounted directly to the mesh. Isn't the mesh grounded through the radio mount bezel? That would be effectively shunting any rf signals to ground. I don't think powered antennas like that... lol. You may need to try isolating the shaft of the antenna from ground and see if that helps. (provided the powered antenna module is ok yet) Otherwise... nice looking unit you have there. It was fun watching the metalwork being done. GL!
Thanks so much for the input and ideas, dude! I’m really happy you enjoyed the video 😊😊
I'm pretty sure you're right. the Antenna is grounded by mesh -> radio bezel -> radio -> 12V -> 240V. As you said I try to lift the antenna off the bezel and see what happens. Good idea.
Extend the antenna to outside the garage by connecting a 1 sq mm copper wire. And see the difference.
Thank you
Check out part 2
You don't need a powered antenna
Just download a radio app onto ya fone... no need for the ariel
Yeah, I use an Internet radio app and other music streaming and podcast apps, but I'd really like to get it to work with FM so I have the choice! 😁
@@AndreTKemp on my cb radio when used an indoor ariel i had to connect it to a massive ground... ended up using an old street sign that my dad got some how... maybe try earthing it to a bigger ground. The aerial i had had a magnet base.
Nice idea, I'll give that a go and see it it helps.
Do you think because I'm using a 240v to 12v inverter it's causing issues?
Cheers for the tips, dude!
The indoor aerial was an aerial that sat on top of the cars body.. used that before i got my big 18ft one... the cb was 12volts... ran it from a mains converter.... you tried buying a hi-fi aerial... connect that up to it? Im no election... but i know how to set most electronics stuff up with in reason... and i was 13 at the time when used my cb radio.... but it should be the same as a normal car radio... bigger the ground better
Ive just screen shot somet off google but wont let me upload so ill find the link
At least play some music in ur videos bro
Do you not have your sound on? My videos are filled with music 🎶 😅
