Intro
Hi,
on this site I present my do-it-yourself loudspeaker projects with focus on using low cost speaker chassis. Some words first to this kind of material:
- You don't build up high end boxes with low cost speakers
- the quality of the workmanship is often very poor (e.g. bonding)
- the manufacturing tolerances can be very high (e.g. resonant frequency, Q factor)
- the delivery time can be very long (if a chassis is out of stock sometime it can take a quarter year until new material comes from China by ship)
At so a lot of disadvantages: why should anybody use this material?
- You build up a box for the next party and have a premonition of what will come...
- You support your children / grandchildren at theirs first steps in speaker building
- You want to try out some exotic constructions
- You want to build up a box just for fun...
In my opinion if you build up loudspeaker with very cheap chassis you need a loudspeaker measuring system to sort out bad chassis...
A last hint: I name all my suppliers and theirs products that you have a reference and / or a starting point for your purchases. I haven't any connections to this companies or any privileges. I don't like it if in project description anybody beats around the bush like "you will find it in the internet" and you know nothing...
A short description of all projects:
