    Please continue to make the step by step videos. They really help us DIY'ers who know very little about wiring amplifiers.Your builds are great and the education you provide is fantastic !!!

  • @derekarmstrong1059
    @derekarmstrong1059 Před 4 lety +1

    Both styles of your videos are great, each one has it's place. The technical ones with the talk through are nice because it explains how it works and what you've encountered using the components. The build videos with no voice are awesome to watch and your camera perspectives and music makes them like you're watching an artistic video. Thanks for the awesome videos, you seem like a really cool dude.

    I've been wanting to make one of my own Bluetooth speakers. Because I have a lot of old-school home stereo speakers. I have a set of very nice techniques 12 the mids and highs work great. On them they even have the medal fins that come down from the tweeters. So thank you so much Sir for making this video and providing the links of where to buy everything from.

    Thanks for this video, it's one of the best I've seen explaining this in a really simple way. Now I'm wondering if I'm going to build a portable bluetooth speaker that can be both battery powered and can be connected to the wall, how a battery pack can be connected to this setup so it can work and charge the battery when connected?

  • @karimismail3734
    @karimismail3734 Před 7 lety

    Great Video Kirby,thank you. Now sold on Ebay amplifiers that combine all of that on one Board. Also some have buttons for on and off,Volume control,Jumping tracks,TF Card,USB Reader,etc. I intend to order the Battery charger Board when in stock. Thanks for presentation.

    • @EnhancedPsyche
      @EnhancedPsyche Před 3 lety

  • @jatontherun
    @jatontherun Před 6 lety

    I like your simple explanations. Thanks for the video! Question for you, can I connect the Bluetooth device into a 1977 stereo receiver? I connected my iPhone to the receiver using an RCA (red/white) cable with 3.5 mm jack in the Tape deck input. Work pretty good. But to make it Bluetooth would really be better! Thanks!

  • @jeffgranger7720
    @jeffgranger7720 Před 6 lety

    Great video. I'd like to do this build but with an additional aux in 3.5 jack in the unit to plug my guitar into while i stream a backing track via my iphone, something i can currently do with a little bluetooth unit i have. I have an antique radio carcass I'd like to do a build in with holes for 2 pots, and I'd like to light up the dial window with led's. Do you have a plan for a build like this?

  • @AznJungleFever

  • @legion2k988
    @legion2k988 Před 7 lety +1

    You got another sub. :) I'm going to build something like this for an old old radio so we can play old music though it. Having the radio on sort of blows the moment.. you can't appreciate a 1940's radio when it's playing "anaconda".

    • @cmosleytsx

  • @thedalf
    @thedalf Před 3 lety

    I used your video for a speaker build using an a 50s era radio for a speaker box. It turned out great. I have one question for you. While the speaker sounds pretty good, it seems to miss the higher range of sound. For example, if I were to play the Beatles song Dear Prudence, there is pretty much no sound for the intro part of the song. Can I add a tweeter to improve the sound? Or do I need to wire a speaker to both the right and left speaker cirucits?

    @chrisclark7987 Před 4 lety

    do you have to run the blue tooth board in series with the amp or could you have a designated power splice coming from your power source that powers the amp and blue tooth speaker at the same time?

  • @KoenKorver
    @KoenKorver Před 2 lety

    Great video! But how about ground loop? With one wall adaptor powering both Amp and Bluetooth ground loop is inevitable I guess. Do you have any tips on that?

  • @tukarlo
    @tukarlo Před 7 lety

    This was my first plan with the build you've shared with us, adding 12V of Li-ion batteries would make it an awesome portable speaker. I suggest doing a tutorial for the most basic bluetooth portable speaker since those get a lot of views and your channel would grow even quicker. Thanks again for the plans, and a great video again. Hope you keep it up lad, cheers from Croatia :).

    Way back in the late 80s & early 90s I installed car audio for a living. I recently had a friend buy a 2016 Ram Pickup, and he asked me to put two pairs of speakers in the bed. Running the wires is a royal headache , since there's a bed-liner in it. Is it possible to use blue tooth to skip that part of the install?

    Hey, great work and thanks for sharing.
    I have one problem with bluetooth speaker that I made.
    When I turn volume all the way up, suddenly everything drops out, just like loosing power.
    Do you have such experience and did you use large capacitor to prevent this problem? I tried 1000uF and I did not success to prevent droping at high volumes :)
    All the best ...

    Kirby do you have a board with a 60 to 100w output with the battery bank option that you would recommend me getting for a build like this? I'm looking to build a powerful, rechargeable speaker that I can charge at night and have enough battery to play all day at work.

    Now that the Wondom Amp Line has come out, would you consider updating these plans? I ask since I am in the market for a BT Amp and didn't know if you think this one, or the new Sure one, would be a better place to start.

    Sounds like a silly question but if I wanted too make one myself but with higher watt speaks say 50w+ what sort of amplifier board would I need and Bluetooth module. Also if I wanted too use say 4 of said speakers how would I connect more than one and would the power supply need too be higher

    Is this a stereo to mono amp? or do you only hear the left or right channel? Any way to combine the channels into one full range driver if it is not mono?

    I wonder how i can make two wireless speaker (one left and one right side)? I know some stuff about electronics but wireless is still new for me. Wifi, Bluetooth or propably FM? Thanks for your great content (and propably answer)!
