    Hey everyone, I've FINALLY finished the additional tips-and-tricks guide to go along with my dual-stereo speaker project. In it you can find full details of the crossover & smoothing circuitry, dimensions and cutouts (CNC files and also a square version that's easier to build), and extra info about some cool bluetooth receiver boards that work as a stereo pair if you don't want to go with ear buds. Enjoy! www.patreon.com/posts/dual-stereo-52451164

    You should do a house tour showing all the stuff youve made over the years. Would be interesting
  • 2 minutes in: I'm totally doing this. 5 minutes in: I'm totally just going to buy some.

    This inspired me to build something myself. I used an amplifier from an old surround sound system, bought some drivers and some wood. I'm really proud of the end result and the sound

    The design and execution are perfect as usual. I'd change a few things, though: 1. Charging and power delivery method is a bit cumbersome - I'd go with a BMS, type-c and galvanic isolation. Sure, a bit more costly, but less hassle with charging 18650's separately. 2. Hard pointy feet may give a bit of a rattle on high base. And they're scratchy as well. But, they look really cool - cant argue with that) Thanks for yet another portion of inspiration!

    He's talking to me like I'm a child but he's saying things as if I was an engineer.

    This man is the perfect mix of actually making cool things without having to learn how to build all you own stuff and then getting utterly overwhelmed when you relise you only have one brain cell.
  • I have a key, now I only have to make a car for that key
  • @Mr.Engine993
    You are very right to mention the importance of the stereo effect to the listening experience. I've been experimenting with a pair of aiwa midrange drivers for quite a while. When I brought them close together (not in an enclosure or anything), they didn't sound like much. But when I placed them far apart and properly pointed them at my ears, the result sounded MAGICAL. Not only was it louder, but the details were clearly audible - NOTHING like before. That's why I decided to make my single unit bluetooth speaker project a bit more unique, and allow it to split so that you can place the speaker drivers far apart for an awesome listening experience, but also whenever you want to, you can join the drivers back together so that you don't sacrifice any of the convenience and portability single unit speakers offer.

    I don’t know what’s better, the quality of his videos or the quality of the speakers.

    "one of the perks of DIY" He said the thing!
  • this is freaking amazing! I will definitely be making this soon! thank you for all the guides and your ingenuity!
  • @LilBoyHexley
    Super cool. And a pretty accessible electronics project. The main challenging bit is building the housing, since it can be tough to do that kind of crafting without a proper work space.

    "You could've fixed the headphones by replacing the dead batteries!" "Yeah... but what's the fun in that?"
  • @sfgvasdfgva
    The flawless craftmanship and ingenious ideas is what makes this channel my favorite.
  • I discovered your channel recently, and I'm so impressed by it. Your projects are well planned, and I really appreciate that you make them in such a way that even a caveman like me could make them. I'm looking forward to watching all of your other videos and hopefully making one of them someday. Thank you for all of your hard work!

    I'm an engineer. You should be running a top consumer electronics design firm. The combination of utility and aesthetic in your designs is absolutely incredible.

    I transformed my old earbuds into a 4 bedroom house. All it took was the earbuds and $400,000 worth of materials and labour.
  • @tonypogi3538
    Watching every project here amazes me. So I think it's time for me to try this one out. Thanks for every DIY video you are sharing, really helpful.
