Pretty much finished but not quite. Scan-speak tweeters, Eminence Alpha 95 Drivers, with Solen perfect lay coils and Mundorf Evo-Oil Caps to make the speakers less bright and more warm. These are paired up with dual Sunfire subs.

Hey yall! Longtime listener, first time caller! I’m usually too self conscious to share what I’m working on but these are coming out so great I felt the need to share! Plus, this community has helped me out so much in terms of knowledge I feel it’s the right thing to do.

If you can’t tell, I was heavily influenced by the ATC 100, though I took some personal liberties to suit my taste and monitoring preferences: waveguided tweeter, and a sealed box rather than ported. These are tri-amped with an active crossover, I haven’t quite locked the XO in — right now I just have 1st order crossover points at 500 and 1500. Still have to veneer the cabinets and make them look as good as they sound so if you have any tips on that please send them my way!!! Thanks a million yall. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

Reworked my old input switch and it escalated fast 🤷‍♂️…added new input board with THAT based balanced to unbalanced and vice versa conversation, Bluetooth and muses volume control … thought I have some space left but the chassis filled up quickly…imho the THAT chips are really superior to the well-known alternatives DRV and co

I have been using the DIY S2000 speakers in my office nearfield system for a couple of weeks now and am very happy with their performance, the sound quality to my ears is a step up from the DIY C-Notes they replaced

Recently, I Cadded and Engineered a Custom 3D Printed Portable Bluetooth Speaker, with a full Budget of 60 Dollars.

I don't have many of the tools at home except for my laptop, which meant I had to 3d print and get all my measurements from my HS, but about 4 prototypes later, I have ended up here.

The building consists of:

The Dayton PC83-4 full-range speaker

An LED Power Switch

A ZK502 Amp

24V Battery

I dealt with some issues due to the 3d printer I used, such as warping, and ridging, which meant I had to sand, causing some aesthetic problems, especially in the back side.

BTW, I am looking for possible internships or something in this field as a freshman in HS, if there are any recommendations of where I could join to possibly help out or put on my Resume, LMK.

Also, I am willing to publish the CAD if enough people are interested. Anyone with questions, feel free to DM.

Making a ribbon mic which wires solder to the motor and which to the output?

Hey everyone,

I’ve got DC coming out of my speaker cable on my Luxman C120A and C120M, which sometimes pushes the woofer cone of my Elipson 1303D dangerously forward, along with some pretty nasty noises. Just to clarify, the issue is not coming from the Elipsons—they’ve been refoamed and properly centered.

I’ve already done a full recap of both the preamp and the amp. For personal reasons, I don’t want to take them in for repair again. Instead, I’d prefer to fix the issue downstream and protect the speakers.

I’m thinking of building a small box inline with the speaker cable, using two 4700µF 50V capacitors back-to-back at the input, along with the LJM speaker protection module (shown in the photo above).

Does anyone have experience with this kind of setup? Any advice or pro tips for this type of DIY solution?

Thanks in advance for your help!
