I built this Awesome SOUNDBAR for less than $150

Hi there, welcome to my channel. In this video i build a custom soundbar using a combination of 3d printing and timber.

I wanted to make this soundbar look good, sound good while coming in less than $150.

Please see below list of materials and parts along with links to some of the parts.

Tasmanian oak timber - 90 x 12mm @1200mm long. - $25 from bunnings
Black PLA filament - i used the creality brand around 18-20 dollars for 1kg
18 awg speaker wire - $5 for 6m from bunnings

Thanks

Nice build! Definitely better with the ports blocked indeed.

I didn't know that if you connected two speakers in parallel the resistance will be divided by the number of speakers! And if you connect them in series the resistance will add up! I definitely learned something new from this video. Thanks!

hole saw was fine man you shouldve turned it over when you got halfway

definitely block the ports, but you could use a passive radiator, it will be much better

If you had used passive bass radiator then bass could have been much better 😊

Looks great! May I suggest picking up a miniDSP mic so you don’t have to guess how your enclosure is performing?

Also check out WinISD and Hornresp for enclosure modeling.

Your plastic cover for the bass driver work as a bass radiator. Block the ports

Good looking build...and definitely block the ports...are you using the 2 inch speakers as tweets or are they full range also...pretty amazing sound out of such little cones...I need to give this a go I think

Whats the Corossoverpoint for the speakers?

I can already hear the nasty bassbump at around 120-150, most likely because the enclosure is not the right one for speakers. The only way to prevent that is taking TSP measurements, for example with the Dayton Dats V3.
