I understand the difficulty of trying to demo audio over TH-cam, they sound fantastic to me regardless. Your channel is large enough that audio companies would be willing to loan samples of their products for review. This probably isn't something you are interested in, yet would afford you the ability to compare known speaker designs to your own. That, I believe, would give your viewers a good A to B comparison. Thanks for you efforts, it is very much appreciated!
I really like the look of these with the black center and wood sides. The rabbeted area around the center section is a small touch that really makes them look classy. Those would fit right in on a shelf at a high end shop.
This is awesome. I've been anxiously awaiting this video for some time now. Definitely a great job on both the video and the speaker design and test. Looks like I got my work cut out for me. Will start on this project next month.
Good job, measurements looks ok. Small suggestion. Put the tweeter at the very end, when woolfer and crossover are mounted in the box. There is a big chance to demolish excidentally tweeter by some wrong move, or whatever...
That's odd, they sound exactly like the speakers I'm listening to this video through! ;D I kid, of course. Those are a beautiful design, and that off-axis response graph is really impressive! Well done. :)
great driver sensitivity match! must have simplified the crossover! They are probably very good sounding, looks like a straightforward build and a hit!
👍❤️🇵🇭😎 I like the way you test your project. Just what my boys need this quarantine times. Keep up the very nice work. Btw, in the second cut, that is a hammond right?
@SoundBlab Are you planning on building floor standing speakers with a build in subwoofer? Like a 6-8 inch subwoofer? That's something I'd love to build, but i don't have a clue how to x)
Hi, yes I have intentions to build a compact floor stander in a 3-way configuration that uses a 6 inch side firing sub. Hopefully I can fit this project in still this year.
@@inglouriousmofo or you just have one subwoofer that can do the entire frequency range... it's cheaper and more efficient and would be better for sound quality.
@@sethh8892 for sure, depends on what you are going for. I like 3 ways and a single or pair of 6 1/2s can punch pretty good until my much more powerful 12s kick in all the way down to the mid 20's. An 8 would be nice in a tower but I prefer my mids getting efficient power without another small sub using a big chunk. Again, just depends what you're going for.
9:48 I thought that was the end of the video, would want this to be split up with you saying, next up: or whatever, and then the rest of this 20 minute video. Cuz bro you can get more views and likes by splitting it up and at the end of part one, hinting at part two. That said, I thoroughly enjoyed this, your commentary was really welcome at the end, it was like 3/4 of the 10 minutes was build meditation, and then the last 1/4 was summary, very nice indeed and they look freaking gorgeous. I love how it shows the plywood, and the color you applied, gorgeous pieces of kit man.
10:22 okay I just now got it, the rest is demo, however you recorded it. I actually like when people record speakers non-professionally, I know it's not accurate but it's fun. You get a sense of the speaker in the room. Looking forward to what you're going to share with us.
10:34 WOW, even whatever way it was recorded, we can hear the dynamics of these speakers and their balance and clarity but I think it is just as important that not only did you position them correctly, so far from the rear wall and especially the side walls, and barely angled in, YOU TOLD US WHY. You obviously know acoustics. This is being very fun to experience.
Thanks man! It was recorded with a Zoom H1 at its highest quality, I think 24/96 in the listening position. It's probably not the flattest mic available, and I should use flat calibrated measurement mics for this, but I have not yet invested in such a setup. I have never been a fan of 'sound tests' over TH-cam, and never will be, and thats why I rather call them 'sound demos'. It's not really a test.
I've been meaning to ask you/suggest you use SB acoustic drivers. I do DIY speakers myself and am utterly over the moon with everything of theirs I've used, in particular their dimple some tweeters. Great videos, thank you!
Thanks. From Cape Town. The parts cost is around $170, but you can most likely double that to include shipping to SA. Then just times that with the current exchange rate.
I don't understand how you fixed the response from the graph for the speakers in order to fix the response curve that you measured to derive at the crossover design that you did in the end in order to make the response flatter, it just skips a very important detail that a lot of videos don't explain
Yes, I did not show my process of crossover design. It is rather involved and probably could be a whole separate video. Perhaps I'll take it on in a future project.
I don't really see the advantage of bi-wiring in small speaker like this. Maybe if you had a much larger speaker that is a 3-way or 4-way, and you want to experiment with different amps for the different drivers.

Excellent result! Very pleasant and natural sound. Thanks for your work and these videos.
Thanks
I like the design, it's very muted from front but classy at the sides. Wood at it's finest
Thanks man!
you did well putting the port in front and choosing a mid-woofer with high excursion
Thanks
This is the one of great sound-authority.beutiful!
Thanks
To hear the sounds, i put on my earphones at the and of the video. Its perfect. I wish i had a pair of these :-)
Cool

As "My Mechanics" channel puts it.

@@SoundBlab don't use a 6, use a high quality 8". You're not going to be able to get any lows out of a 6". I would suggest either and 8" or 10".
@@sethh8892 nothing wrong with a 6 for punchy bass, and a separate sub to fill in the rest...

nice idol, can you help me to build like that? I want to know the specs and brand
of woofer and tweeter.,
Thanks. Woofer is Silver Flute and tweeter fron Vifa. The should be links in the description.
Do you have some Studio nearfield monitors build out there?
Not yet, but maybe a future project.
Nice one! They look and sound absolutely fantastic! Do you mind telling me what's the shipping cost for the drivers to SA?
Thanks. You are looking at about $90 shipping for the 4 drivers excluding the crossover components.
@@SoundBlab too costly

I would love to build something like this for my office but I wouldn't have a clue what im doing when it comes to the circuitry. Great video though
Thanks!
Why did you use the faston conectors instead of weldings ?? nice work by the way
No particular reason, but solder connections are better.
What are the tools needed if i were to attempt?
Nice work..
Thanks
howzit man... you sound like a regular oke from Mzansi.. whats the cost breakdown for the build (rands aseblief)?
Thanks. From Cape Town. The parts cost is around $170, but you can most likely double that to include shipping to SA. Then just times that with the current exchange rate.
I'm Tamil Nadu in India I want 8'' inches two boxes .
how to purchase? Sir
Do your plans include the components needed to build the crossover?
It’s a comprehensive plan that shows everything you will need and purchase links for all components.
Can I have a detailed drawing of the speaker
The build plans are available on my website www.soundblab.net for purchase. It includes all the information and shows you how to build these.
If I need to buy these speakers where wud I find the link bro plz...
You can purchase Build Plans on my website at www.soundblab.net
Hi bro, can u do atmos speaker and suitable amp for that.looking for your reply.
I will be doing atmos speakers, but will be ceiling mount, not the reflective type you place on top of the front speakers.
You can purchase the BUILD PLANS for these speakers from my website here: soundblab.net/build-plans/

What is the port length?
If you are selling, i'm buying!

@@SoundBlab please, yes if you can. I'd appreciate it
SoundBlab Yes please! A detailed crossover design video would be nice!
4ohm speaker take a lot more power so beware if you have low wattage amps (70w-90w).
The woofer and tweeter are in series making it 8ohms from the point of view of the amp. ;)
Вы собрали все грабли коммерческой акустики. Такие проще купить за 100$.
If I understand you correctly, I challenge you to buy a speaker of this quality for $100. Good luck!
@@SoundBlab Yes! I already bought such. They have exactly the same disadvantages.
100$ уйдет только на качественные компоненты для фильтра

How much cost it in total?
The drivers and electronic parts are around $170 for the pair, and I would imagine another $50 to $100 for wood and finishing.
I like video and I want follow you but I don't have toole . 😪
regular screws ruin it
Matter of preference IMHO.
They sound and look great!
