Please continue to make the step by step videos. They really help us DIY'ers who know very little about wiring amplifiers.Your builds are great and the education you provide is fantastic !!!
Both styles of your videos are great, each one has it's place. The technical ones with the talk through are nice because it explains how it works and what you've encountered using the components. The build videos with no voice are awesome to watch and your camera perspectives and music makes them like you're watching an artistic video. Thanks for the awesome videos, you seem like a really cool dude.
yea...we need this step by step guide more often, because for someone who doesn't know about this stuff,itc easy watching you do this...so do it more and more often,so we can learn
Been thinking about building speakers recently and your breakdown of the process is phenomenonal. I was going to ask a question about the Bluetooth board, but you answered it at the end.
Great video. Inspired me actually give it a go. Thanks!
Absolutely a great video, love the tutorial style, please keep it up! Subscribed and bought the plans!
Why doesn't this have more views???
It has been a long time since I have found a video which could not just acually help me but was also easy to understand!
Very well done! Keep ip up!
Awesome! Will do. Thanks for watching!
Zenyatta- Not only all you said; but funny (if you watch it to the)!
Kirby the one keeping alive in build. Real answers. Real good. I love the music too. This one reminds me of "Mr. Rodger's Neighborhood"
Absolutely love this! It's like watching a baby growing up and learning as we go. So much fun and can't wait for the next vid.
Haha! Thanks!
man!
what a beauty!
congrats on the channel, edit, carisma, taste......
great, great job!
cheers from brazil!
Great video! Thanks for linking to the boards you used, and clear explanation. Would love to see more "talkies" like this. :)
The journey to building speakers seems quite exciting. Can't wait to do some tinkering of my own :) thanks for giving me a starting point and inspiration. Cheers.
Finally someone who explains it nice and simply. This is what I have been looking for for a bit.
Wonderful! This is the best thing I could hear from you. Thanks for watching and welcome!
I've been wanting to make one of my own Bluetooth speakers. Because I have a lot of old-school home stereo speakers. I have a set of very nice techniques 12 the mids and highs work great. On them they even have the medal fins that come down from the tweeters. So thank you so much Sir for making this video and providing the links of where to buy everything from.
Ok now that background music makes me feel like I'm watching Mr. Rodgers neighborhood LOL! Great video. Tons of good info...
HAHAHA YES! That just made my day! Thank you for watching!
Great video, really helped! I just subscribed and have been binge watching your videos. Just ordered everything for my first Bluetooth speaker build. Should be here Tuesday. I have some walnut and white ash in the garage that will be perfect.
Your build videos are fun to sit and zone out on, but I do like seeing this format occasionally.
....and this is the kind of video I was looking for. Very well explained, clean footage, funny. Thank you so much
Nice job! Thank you!
Trying to do a bluetooth speaker for a customer right now. This was an excellent video; very helpful for the basics of wiring this up. Thanks dude!
I'm so glad I can help. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the quick and easy to understand video!☺️
excellent really helpful and nice to watch how you make it too..
Great job explaining. I subscribed and the video helped a lot.
Ok, Kerby. You now have my subscription! This was extremely entertaining and educational! I do like it very much! it was super educational!
Also, I am amazed at how good you are at picking your video clips, you have some great shots.
You are great, I’m so doing this project, reusing my hi Fi speakers from the 00’s
Super cool that little ta2024 version! Ouch! Unfindable in Italy :( Waiting me too for a battery version! Thank you Kirby! See u on Slack!
great lesson learned a lot from this vid . step by step visual an audio helped me a lot thank you
Thanks for this video, it's one of the best I've seen explaining this in a really simple way. Now I'm wondering if I'm going to build a portable bluetooth speaker that can be both battery powered and can be connected to the wall, how a battery pack can be connected to this setup so it can work and charge the battery when connected?
This was super helpful, thanks!!
I am so glad I watched your video!! I want to build my own bluetooth speaker now!
This is the exact video I needed to see. Just getting ready to build my own Bluetooth Speaker. I'm looking at going with a 12v 7.0ah battery though that I have laying around. Keep making tutorial videos, you did a really good job.
So freaking good so happy I found this channel !
Getting ready to build one for the bathroom house especially in the garage thanks for info dude
Nice video bro. This will give me an idea on how to use old speakers i havent thrown out. thanks man
Great walkthrough, I recently purchased a dta-2 amp like you have shown and quite like it. Has there been any issues pairing it with the sure BT board and how it is wired? Tempted to take the plunge on the next build
I've just liked and subscribed.
Great video.
God bless!
Thanks for the video and I'm going to try this myself thanks to you. I really appreciate the step by step made everything very easy to understand and made me want to make my own even more lol keep it up
Loved the new format. Would love to hear about how to pick drivers
Thanks, Shawn! That video will be coming soon!
thanks alot for the video bro as always very thorough explainations no one better.
Hi, I really enjoyed this video and I learned alot from it! But i was wondering where you got the actual speaker from?
Great Vid brother, truly enjoyed it. I'll be using the info to build a banging speaker with my kids
Great Video Kirby,thank you. Now sold on Ebay amplifiers that combine all of that on one Board. Also some have buttons for on and off,Volume control,Jumping tracks,TF Card,USB Reader,etc. I intend to order the Battery charger Board when in stock. Thanks for presentation.
I agree, nice video. I saw that you also had a link to a bluetooth amp. Will that bypass the need for the amp? Is it two in one?
Love the vid! Quick question, I'm trying to run a 2.1 bluetooth amp plus a mic amp, was wondering if I can power the mic amp the way you powered your audio amp into the DC inputs?
wow thank you!!! i learned something important today:). very well explained
i really like your build, do you got any knowledge of passive radiators and where to put them on your speaker?
This is amazing! I’m 13 years old and I made my own “Bluetooth to Aux” converter! 3D Printed a case, then I use it! I’m thinking of making more and selling it like a business! Thank you!🔊📢📲🔥🔥
Good shite, invest in crypto too, ethereum
really really good job.. all descriptions are working and you are the number one.. subbed.. i hope you can go ahead.. all the best! and thank you for your help :)
Thank you for watching, Christian!
Please do this step by step video more often. I can't learn anything from the other types of videos.
I think he does a pretty good job at showing things on here, but I do agree with you on the step by step thingy. Maybe I'm just slower than most... who knows :/
i wonder how i can wire 2 amps paralel with the bluetooth receiver.. there is no step by step video about that
You could... change your thinking. Instead of asking someone to put it into steps for you, pause this video after each step and write that step down... and, in a LOT less time than waiting for another video...
Then you're fucking braindead
Dhhjjgftyubcxdrrtuikmbxxdggh
This video is perfect! So much great info!
Thanks!
I want this kit. This so good
This was my first plan with the build you've shared with us, adding 12V of Li-ion batteries would make it an awesome portable speaker. I suggest doing a tutorial for the most basic bluetooth portable speaker since those get a lot of views and your channel would grow even quicker. Thanks again for the plans, and a great video again. Hope you keep it up lad, cheers from Croatia :).
I agree! And that video is in the works. Thanks for watching!
You are a awesome presenter....great job
Great video. I'd like to do this build but with an additional aux in 3.5 jack in the unit to plug my guitar into while i stream a backing track via my iphone, something i can currently do with a little bluetooth unit i have. I have an antique radio carcass I'd like to do a build in with holes for 2 pots, and I'd like to light up the dial window with led's. Do you have a plan for a build like this?
Nice step by step man!!!
Hi Kirby, I am from the UK and an finding it hard to get hold of the types of parts you use. eg the Bluetooth boards or speaker cones etc. do you know of any?
Great vid!
Loved it! i need some help with my old car speakers
can we talk about it?
You got another sub. :) I'm going to build something like this for an old old radio so we can play old music though it. Having the radio on sort of blows the moment.. you can't appreciate a 1940's radio when it's playing "anaconda".
legion2k thats cool im looking to build some radios around that same time frame converting them to bluetooth right now im working with a 1960s philco radio console that im turning into a bar
Wow, I love this video, great content all the way to the music in the background, yeah I hear ya, I used to do podcasts myself, that shout out about stuff you should know podcast really caught my ear, I'll check that out, I have interest in gwen tower related stuff.... Subscribed 5 stars man....
excellent video, I learned a lot! and t's good to see your channel growing more and more. Thanks for the video
It's crazy! Thanks for watching!
Love your sombrero! would you mind telling me where I can get one like it?
Gracias!
this is exactly what i need! thank you thank you thank you!
No problem, Noah! Glad it helped.
Great video!! Im gonna be using this set up when i convert an old school Panasonic boombox to a bluetooth speaker...how do you connect two drivers to the amp??
The amp would need to have a left and right audio output
definitely helped thanks mang👍
No problem, Rick! Thanks for watching!
Hey yeah is there a chance you have updated links? I can't seem to find any of these parts. Thanks!
How are you connecting the amp output to the single speaker so that you’re getting a mono downmix on the one speaker?
I like your simple explanations. Thanks for the video! Question for you, can I connect the Bluetooth device into a 1977 stereo receiver? I connected my iPhone to the receiver using an RCA (red/white) cable with 3.5 mm jack in the Tape deck input. Work pretty good. But to make it Bluetooth would really be better! Thanks!
Nice video really helpful... I have a sound bar and I'll try to put a Bluetooth... can you tell me Wich Bluetooth is better
Hi Kirby I like your videos specially like this one. Video you did with the JAb2 50w , do you have a video like that that explains all the connections. When I try to hook it up with just the batteries it doesn't work
Great video! But how about ground loop? With one wall adaptor powering both Amp and Bluetooth ground loop is inevitable I guess. Do you have any tips on that?
you can also do a tda7492p, it does both amplification and bluetooth receiving. tough it has some faults at higher volumes, they can be fixed by using 24 volts..
Great video .The volume pot i need has to be a bit longer.know where i couldnget one.?
love the video and i have a question for you
i have a few old broken bluetooth speakers friends gave me to fix and or use for parts
ive repaired a few and modded others with bigger speakers and never thought of adding a amp to boost power to try with bigger speakers i will try that since watching your video
but my question is this ive noticed on a few boards ive had there is ad on spots or i would think its ad on spots and my question is i have a few broken laptops and old cellphones and what i was thinking is there a way to use a old working camera and add it to the bluetooth speaker board and allow me to turn the camera into a bluetooth camera or is there a way you can help me with how to take a old webcam or old laptop camera and add a wifi or bluetooth chip and how to make it into a wireless security cam or ipcam now i know i can use old cellphones to make into ipcams and i can buy prebuilt spycams and security cameras but i wanted to build my own with stuff i have from other parts i might have at home maybe you can help me and we colab this build thank you please send me a message or email thanks again
I would love to see a video showing a 2.1 ch setup with this board and another board that handles the sub/woofer.I am wondering how to get each board to handle its own frequencies. Keep up the great vids. Subscribed!
Great idea for a video! Welcome!
Good and simple.
What sort of power adapter would you recommend? Seems like the links to this are no longer available for you sites right now? I bought the plans and now looking myself there seems to be a lot of different options including the barrel size.
good video, well explained.
Man, you make it so easy, i feel like my years of analog electronic studies was a waste of time! rs
do you have to run the blue tooth board in series with the amp or could you have a designated power splice coming from your power source that powers the amp and blue tooth speaker at the same time?
Is this a stereo to mono amp? or do you only hear the left or right channel? Any way to combine the channels into one full range driver if it is not mono?
I used your video for a speaker build using an a 50s era radio for a speaker box. It turned out great. I have one question for you. While the speaker sounds pretty good, it seems to miss the higher range of sound. For example, if I were to play the Beatles song Dear Prudence, there is pretty much no sound for the intro part of the song. Can I add a tweeter to improve the sound? Or do I need to wire a speaker to both the right and left speaker cirucits?
first vid. just subscribed. love what you are doing and will watch more. building speakers is 10x better than buying. i wish i had the foresight to turn it into a business. very simple from what i see. if you have more advanced knowledge, release that as well for us that have built multiple speakers and are looking for that as well.
Welcome David! I will for sure be making more advanced videos in the future, so keep an eye out! Thanks so much for watching!
Way back in the late 80s & early 90s I installed car audio for a living. I recently had a friend buy a 2016 Ram Pickup, and he asked me to put two pairs of speakers in the bed. Running the wires is a royal headache , since there's a bed-liner in it. Is it possible to use blue tooth to skip that part of the install?
Thanks for sharing . New subscriber thanks
nice job!! i really like getting to know more about speakers and how you build them. I think in the fawn speaker build video you had magnets around some cables. can you tell us why?
and the most interesting thing would be, how would you bild a recarchable battery into the speakerbox as well?
Those things are called ferrite cores and they help eliminate any high frequency noise in the circuit. They aren't totally necessary, but they are included in the little amp kit I used, so why not use em!
I'll be doing a video on making a portable speaker soon! Thanks for watching!
U doing it bro!!! Doing it!!!!!
Very nice, enjoyed it. New Subscriber, looking forward to more from you. Many Blessings!
Awesome info!!!!!
Thank you!
Thanks for the video!
Really nice and simple!!
Links added really help!!!
But what if I want to connect to a stereo speakers (Left and Right)?
I should probably use a stereo amplifier instead of the one used in the video...
Witch one do you suggest? Could you please give a link for that too??
Thanks again :-)
what is the black paint/stain your using? I'm building a set of home theater speakers and wanted to know what your using. the last paint I used turned out poorly and spent almost hour sanding it all off the cabinets
Dude, I just subbed. You're awesome. Now I'm not so sorry I didn't pay attention to my electronics professor in high school! LOL I just hope I don't blow up our apartment this time while I try your DIYs at home. :D
Haha I'm sure you'll do great! Thanks, Dan!
The power cable link is no longer on amazon can you recommend a new power cable to use and what was the second power connector you used?
This is great! It'd been nice, though, with a parts list, as many of the links are dead.
You check after 5 years and boom the links are dead obviously
@@jeetsheta So helpful, I'm so glad you took the time out of your life to post this comment.
very informative! keep up the good work.
cheers~
Thank you!
good job on the video lots of good info great work
Thanks so much!
hey can you please suggest some speaker wire to buy for these DIY builds??
where do u soldier the external power cord and if u wanted a power switch would that just go anywhere in the circuit?
Does a ub 1240 battery work for a power supply for portable usage.
Hey there Mr. Kirby, I'm trying to follow you on how you put the this together however every time i plug the Blue tooth into the amp the LED light on the blue tooth cuts off. Can you help me out? Also i just learned that i have a 9v wall adapter, not a 12v, does that make a difference?
Info is great, short video for essential info and that background music makes me anticipate that a Yoshi or Koopa will pop out 🤣🙌💛 okay, hands down, here's my like and subscribe for you.
Some of the products you mentioned aren't on the UK version of amazon, are there any trusted brands i should go for? Also whats the difference with using a bluetooth board with the amp built in?
