This is an effort to pramote DIY activity in the young people & what can be done using avilable speaker drivers. Why build our own speakers? basically, we can make great sounding speakers at a low cost
We may not achieve the quality of a Rs 1,0000 speaker, but for a couple
hundred rupees, you can build speakers that will sound much better than
anything you can buy at that price & the satisfaction that you
get by building is something great, which cannot be explained. If you
are building your own loudspeakers, then you will learn about acoustics,
crossovers, woodworking skills, veneering and using tools that you may
never have even known existed had you not ventured into one of the most
absorbing and satisfying hobbies around.
DIY is for those who want more for less as well as the satisfaction of
having created something exceptional, this is my first DIY project.
Speaker system is based on D'Appolito MTM-based loudspeaker
configuration, uses Vifa drivers with 3 internal braces with double
layered front baffle. The lining is padded with 1" sponge and filled
with Dacron stuffing & port is tuned to 37Hz. This is a
well-rounded and capable speaker that is well suited to many types of
music and movies. Bass extention and musicality is it's most impressive
with surprising detail and clarity and natural with deep bass. Each
weighs 25kgs, uses second order Linkwitz-Riley 2.5 way crossover. Most
of the carpentry work done by me.
