- First DIY Speaker Build ZX Spectrum Desing by Paul Carmody – Lessons LearnedI finally got around making another video. It has been tough getting back into it with all the work and personal life.This time I want to showcase my first major DIY build that started it all for me. My Red DIY speakers, the ZX Spectrum. They are designed by Paul Carmody, the maker of the very famous DIY Speakers Overnight Sensations and Amiga. I think this was an overlooked design, because of it’s more expensive components. Check out my latest DIY video 📺 bellow 😁.
- DIY Acoustic Panels – Fast Build with Professional High-Performance Acoustical Material (RockBoard 60)
Have you considered acoustic treatment for your home? There is just too much reverberations and echo in your room, or you want to quiet down your room. Great! Lets do it! How much? $80 for a 2’x4′ a panel + shipping!!!! Can I DIY it cheaper? Yes! I build mine around $45 per panel by using premium/professional acoustic material, but if you select cheaper acoustic material you can get that close to $35-$40 per panel!!!! (even cheaper if plywood goes down) 😎 Check out my latest DIY video 📺 bellow 😁. - How to Hide your TV Wires The FAST WAY! DIY In-wall power cord and cable installation!
This should be a QUICK ONE! My 2nd, Livingroom project, is to hide my unsightly wires hanging from my TV! Check out my 6 min installation video! I did some research and I went for simplicity and speed of installation! I chose the Legrand-Wiremold CMK70 Flat Screen TV Cord and Cable Power Kit. This kit came with a hole saw, and fish tape that I can reuse later on! It is much simpler to cut a round hole then to fiddle with a drywall knife and make sure you have level rectangular cuts! I think the round box is the FASTEST way to do an in-wall installation! - DIY Speaker Cables – How to Build Your Own High Quality Speaker Wire (w/t Canare 4S11 Made in Japan)
How do you make speaker wire cables that can rival cables costing hundreds of dollars? Watch my video and read on of course! 😎 Cables, source for MUCH debate in the audio world. It’s “Snake Oil” vs “Your Just Deaf”! Can audio cables make your sound system sound better or different? Well, if you are like me, you will DIY your own pair of Venomous Snakes with an infinite amount of SNAKE OIL to lubricate your ears! 😮🐍😎🐍😂🐍 So here is the Krait Cable Build! Made form Canare 4s11 Oxygen Free Coper Wire (Made in Japan), in a star quad configuration to give you an 11 gauged wire! Paired with solid brass banana plugs, with two set screws that will keep that venom flowing till the end of time!😲🐍 - Polk Speaker Disassembly and Tweeter Replacement – DIY or buy Consumer Grade Speakers?
It has been super busy the last few weeks so I did not have much time for DIY. However I did put together this quick video showing the speaker disassembly and tweeter replacement of the Polk CSi A6 Center Channel Speaker. It is a lot of speaker for $150 new, but I was lucky enough to get it very cheap used, BUT the tweeter was blown! 😒 Was it worth it replacing the tweeter? Is it worth buying this center channel new, or should I spend $150 on a DIY kit? Replacing the tweeter or woofers is easy, as you can see in the video, all you need is a set of Hex Keys and the replacement drivers.
