If youre going to buy parts from Solen besides the ones Ive listed here, I would browse on Parts Express and then try to find them on Solen, since their website is a little lame and has few reviews. - A stereo bluetooth amp - This amp is VERY simple, in the sense that it has cables for functions like a volume knob, aux in, indicator lights, power toggle, and other features are all sold separately, and simply plug in.

My instructable will fill in all of the blanks, and provide you the details and design understanding you would need not only to produce this speaker, but a speaker of your own design, with parts of your choosing.

The below link does not contain enough information to build a speaker, alone.

I followed the above instructable and liked the aesthetics, followed the links (which may also be monetized) to see the types of components he used, and then after seeing that the details were omitted (and charged for), immediately researched how to created a speaker on my own.

I dont believe that financial motivation belongs in the buildinginstructables community.

Particularly the dimensions, design choices, and electronics of my speaker are of course all my own, and this instructable provides much more detail than any other of its type for someone to create their own, uniquely.

Besides the design method and plan, and a list of all of the toolscalculatorselectrical components used, Ive included detailed drawings of the cuts of wood Ive used.

I dimensioned the box based on the actual dimensions of the wood I had so as to avoid making cuts, but you will likely have to customize yours a bit.

Also, this speaker is not battery operated, but could easily be upgraded by buying the relevant kits made for the board I used.

Since I knew nothing about speakers before starting this project, Ive included (too much) detail regarding the crossover, as well as some fundamental electronics, so feel free to skip over this if you figure yourself advanced.

Add Tip Ask Question Comment Download Step 1: Tools Materials Before getting into the design of the speaker, Ill list all the stuff I used.

There are many different amp boards, speaker drivers, and crossover types, but for simplicity, Ill just list what I used and explain what you can change yourself in the relevant section.

Throughout, I may use speaker driver to mean the familiar cone shaped electronic component that actually makes the sound, just to set it apart from the speaker as a whole (wooden box (cabinet) and all).

Also a 45 degree chamfer bit for finishing the holes on the front baffle.

For the speaker drivers listed below, you need a 3 for the woofers to show through, as they will be mounted on the inside, facing out, and 1.25 for the tweeters, which press fit into place.

If you finish these holes anyways, it doesnt matter if theyre rough, but a forstner bit would be ideal.

I didnt use a drill press because cedar is soft, but with hardwood it might be advisable.

Other holes must be drilled for the switches, lights and inputs on the back.

Because of the geometry of the inputslightsswitch, you may need to countersink these holes, which necessitates a forstner bit of between 1 and 2.

I personally carved room for mine out with a dremmel, but if you use hardwood, making room for these components will require more forethought.

I save mine from changing light fixtures in my house (copper isnt necessary).

WOOD: - 7-8 of 1x8 pine (or plywood, but I would highly suggest pine) for the box.

I used clear (as opposed to knotted) - 2 of 1x8 wood that looks nice for the front baffle piece.

It can be hardwood, but I used cedar - Some 1 plywood for the back panel which will be cut to the exact same size as the front baffle Electronics NOTE: In the U.S., Parts Express has the largest selection, and Quebec based Solen as a Canadian counterpart.

I used Solen but you can find identical components at Parts Express.
