DIY Routed MDF 2 Way Bookshelf Speakers

Finally had the time to upload the long overdue DIY project. The "DIY MDF Table Saw" was put into action cutting 3/4" MDF board. Another DIY tool that was put into action was the D"IY Palm Router Circle Cutting Jig for Cutting Small Holes".

Components in this project:
- 6.5" Magnum by Electone Philippines 8 Ohm 80w Hi-fi Woofers
- 3" Kevler Professional GT-100 8 Ohm 100w Tweeters
- Crown CN-2500 600w 2 way Crossover/Dividing Network
- 6" x 2" plastic port tubes
- Speaker terminals

Palm router really did a very good job in cutting the holes no sweat. Wouldn't do any projects cutting holes without it. Edge rounding was also a breeze using the DCA palm router.

Sheet sander also did helped a lot in sanding from grit 80, 120, and 240 sandpapers.

The First plan was to paint the enclosures using an automotive paint but would require enormous amount of lacquer thinner to thin the sticky, volatile automotive lacquer paint. So I ended up purchasing a liter of premium acrylic latex paint for home use. It was a quick job painting latex with a foam roller. Had so much fun painting.

Church the French Bulldog and Wiki the Belgian Malinois-Pitbull mix also really did a lot of helping too, really. Amazing. ^_^

Nice to see someone make something without 10 grands worth of woodwork kit great job from a person from the real world

, you should have put some self stick insulation on the interior walls of the speaker box to prevent box reverberations and to help keep the bass from being to muddy.

I had the same harbor freight router ! It lasted me 10 years before it finally took a shit. Used it few times a month for its entire life. Your build came out nice as hell👍🏻

Nice video🥰
I am also a wooden speaker maker, watching the speaker DIY process is a kind of enjoyment.

Nice DIY project. You should be proud of your work. Congratulations!! I have only just one question. Why you did not add some damping material inside?

Nowadays owning a near field 2way speakers, it is cheaper to buy than to build them yourself, the current crop of commercial 2 way near field speakers are very good with in-built amps thrown in free. Then you will say it is fun to build yourself.
