Building a SOUND BAR V2.0 - Speaker Build - by SoundBlab
Vložit
- čas přidán 21. 10. 2020
- This sound bar was designed around 2.5 inch full range drivers and 3/4 inch tweeters. The left and right enclosures are sealed. This sound bar is intended to be used with a suitable subwoofer or the accompanying 6.5 inch subwoofer build, also available on the SoundBlab website as a build plan. You can also connect this sound bar to an AVR or to a subwoofer with 2.1 amplifier output.
(You can buy this Sound Bar build plan and the 6.5 inch Subwoofer build plan as a combo and save on the combined cost).
The goal was to design and build an elegant looking system that can fit into most home environments. When following this build plan, it can easily be built with everyday woodworking tools by someone with beginner woodworking skills. The construction follows butt joints. Finishing is up to you and you can follow my build exactly or opt for an enclosure that can be painted in the colour of your choice. I made this design for my 55inch TV, but if you want to adjust the length, you can just recalculate some of the dimensions to suit your TV.

As always I cannot find any word to appreciate you. Love ❤ you keep it up
Thank you so much 😀
All I can say is WOW! Excellent work that looks and sounds AMAZING! They sound just like my Bose speakers lol.
👍🏻😉
Quite "pretty" work! Thanks, for the over shoulder look.
Glad you like it!
Never seen before I love it.
Thanks
Awesome work as always! love the design
greetings from Argentina!
Thank you so much 😀
I think it would be interesting to place the outermost drivers at a 45 outward degree angle to face of the soundbar to 'play' with any possible acoustic benefits of reflections in the room to enhance any left versus right audio. Just a thought.
This would be entirely room dependent without active audio controller to adjust based on test mic .
Damn that's a nice build! congrats!
Thanks
Superbe travail bravo..bravo..bravo
Thanks!
Sound and looks amazing as always!
Thank you!
Very precise and well done, good finishing. I like it very professional. Keep it up.
Thank you very much!
That sound bar looks nice but very complicated build. It sounds great over my PC sound system listening to it in your video but I think I would want to hear one of these in person before I would spend the time involved in the build. It would be nice if you could do some calibrated microphone software test and show the frequency response results on the speakers you build. I am sure you would of had to of done that to determine the correct crossover network to use on your beautiful sound bar.
Really a Great job ❤
Thanks 😄
great job! ❤️, I loved the end result, very good construction! you are my inspiration to create audio systems❤️
Thank you very much!
cool masterpiece!
Thanks!
excellent Work Man.
Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome...
Thanks
It’s just amazing how good it sounds
Thanks man!
Sir your mind great
Thanks again!
Niceee build...
Thanks!
Great combo man. Even for the demo, I could still hear some nice highs and lows
Glad you like it!
@@SoundBlab smart
NIIIIIIICE!
Thanks!
Big fan greetings from Chicago
Thanks man!
В общем весьма интересный проект, хоть немало спорных технологических решений. Перебор с кроссовера деталями и клеммами, там T-plug более чем достаточен.
что с кроссовером не так, всё правильно он сделал, между СЧ и ВЧ на 3kHz у него провал, кроссовером он компенсирует тем самым выравнивая АЧХ.
Если замеры у него реальные то мне тоже захотелось собрать такой соундбар 👍
@@RENOWATIOR Слишком жирные и катушки и кондеры для этих динамиков. Ну нет там таких токов и такого разрешения у динамиков.
@@RENOWATIOR Да и вязать такие динамики стоит выше, порядка 4,5КГц, так голосовой диапазон не рубится между излучателями, и тоналка будут ровнее.
A true inspiration for me I wish I could attach a picture of what I make by getting inspired from your videos, I am just stuck on one last step can you please make a detailed video about the paint job. I have used the MDF board for my 4.1 system so far.
Awesome man! I can try to do a video of my painting process in the future.
The BUILD PLANS for this project can be purchased here: soundblab.net/build-plans/ . It includes a comprehensive 36 page description of materials, parts, etc. on how to build this sound bar from beginning to end. I also have build plans for a matching 6.5 inch Subwoofer. Or you can purchase the Sound Bar and the matching Subwoofer build plan combo and save.
Great work. One day I’ll get to adding this to my project list!
You’re based in the Cape, right? Where are you sourcing your veneer from? I’m struggling to find any
Veneercraft in Paarden Island
Thank you for sharing this awesome build. Any reason why the middle was kept hollow towards the beginning of the video?
Thanks. The space in the middle just makes up the space needed to have the sound bar long enough to stretch from side to side for my 55inch TV.
Great build... Just in hind sight.... Maybe solder the pigtails to the drivers before putting them in place.. just a thought
That would've been easier!
Very professional build, good work! Can you list the music runnig in the background?
good work
Thanks
Nice
Thanks
very nice
Thanks
Funny, because I am listening to this with the same subwoofer and tweeters but I used the RS100 for mids.
Woah
great job. in my think if one light come to cb logo when system are powerd on
Thanks
Great work. Have anyone looked in to the support of WISA communications between the speakers. It does not seem to be supported in the Arylic kit. I would like to build by own surround speakers.
Thanks! Yeah, does not look like that is supported, but would be great if it was.
Any information about crossover components?
can you build a soundbar which supprt to dolby atmos
What a great
How much cost ?
❤❤❤❤❤
Is it possible to add a powered subwoofer to a Sony soundbar. By tapping into one of the front r/l channels and connecting this into the sub input ?
hello from philippines! am a fan of your masterpieces. can you help me? i have an old harman kardon 5.1 speakers. 5 speakers working. subwoofer NOT working, scavage the speaker and kept it. how can you help me to restore?.
very professional job... but with one notice ... if you weld and wiring the speakers before fixing it will be easier ... any how : awesome job
Thanks!
Hi, I been watching this video over and over again. Thanks. Gonna build mine too im collecting parts for now. By the way, may I know the details of the crossover? The value of the capacitors, resistors, etc.. Its not on the description. Thanks in advance.
I have build plans available on my website, check the link in the description, where all the parts and details are listed for the crossover.
I love your work! keep doing what you are doing, you are an inspiration to all of us! If you do not mind a question on this build, why did you use the lepai amp and you did not opt for the Arylic 2.1 Up2Stream board? It has the streaming module along with a 2.1 amp as far I can tell. Thanks.
Thank you! The Arylic board was not yet available at the time when I designed and planned this build. I normally plan a build month in advance before releasing it on video. Would've loved to use that amp though! Future build, since I did acquire one to test.
This is really fantastic....Great job bro....👍👍👍👍 What board were you using for the construction ?
Thanks. Its mostly 6mm or 1/4 inch MDF.
Hope the device or build will support all music format like on Tidal, MQA etc....
It does support Tidal. Not MQA though.
What type of cloth is that for front grill type effect
can i buy the speaker housing+electronic parts ONLY? i intend to convert my old 5.1 harman kardon into soundbar+woofer
Wow this is Art in the making if I was in Europe I would buy it and you could make the same item couple times when you were doing this one I will pay top dollar for it great video very relaxing beautiful design one day you want to sale it let me know 😊
Thank you so much 😀
Possibly a bit of a dumb question but have been binging on your videos the last few days, really well done btw, but wondering which i should be most looking at in terms of quality and bang for buck (though quality is of more importance than the price really.) and more importantly to fit my space, specifically the space i will be moving into in 3 months. Right now have decent active bookshelf speakers for the TV and music. No real interest in home theater system as more about music and tv is secondary. TV area is in the end of a fairly long and skinny open plan apartment so wondering if that lends itself more to the soundbar and sub combo, or if I'd be better off on the transmition line or small 3 ways you've designed. As the designer, your opinion would be of great value. Cheers and again great videos all the way back to the start.
Thanks man. The sound bar and sub actually sounds pretty good, and I have been using it now for a month or so. it also plays music well. The bonus with something like the small 3-way speaker is that it gives you a better experience in terms of soundstage and imaging if you can give them some space around them. You should also pair them with a good amp.
Absolutely love your channel! Does parts express ship to South Africa?
Thanks man! yes they do.
@@SoundBlab My pleasure' that's fantastic news
What was the cost of the diy
How many watt it take
I watched every minute of it...
Good god, that track at the 15:45 mark, what is it?!
czcams.com/video/D57YLzEgwQM/video.html
@@D3PeXoR Thanks!
My LG tv have Audio audio Port. In sound bar amplifier need?? Or directly connect all speakers wire with the output port of TV.
The audio output from your TV is most likely a RCA signal level, so yes you will in that case need an amp to power the speakers.
@@SoundBlab ok thanks
Sir my name Allen iam big fan of yours
Thanks man!
What do you suggest for a width of 60/65cm? You used 6 speakers and 3 tweeters? You think that 4 speakers and 2 tweeters will do the job? I want to make my own custom soundbar to fit in my cabinet. Let me know ☺️
This design can easily be made longer in the middle to accommodate a larger screen.
I have two passive subs that I want to amplify. I will need to have an amp that takes high level inputs. Will the amps you used here work for them?
The plate amplifier board I used here does not have high level inputs. Maybe try something from Parts Express here: parts-express.sjv.io/XYjbO3
I would be interested in a 3.0/3.1 sound bar diy video.
Noted 👍
what's up with that little piece of wood or mdd sticking up inline but behind your table saw blade? im new to wood working and havent seen that.
It is essentially similar to a riving knife on a table saw that prevents wood when cutting from binding the blade.
Saving money building your own speakers so you can afford more clamps. 😂😂😂. Awesome to watch your work and passion.
Thanks 👍
👍👍👍
😎
@@SoundBlab хотел бы сделать себе такую же систему
Hey.
If you don't mind, may you please do the following
1. Danley J5 caleb
2. Danley TH812
3. McCauley M421
4. Bose MB24 WR
Thanking you in advance. God bless.
Hey, those are some big speakers. Not really something I need to be honest, and dont have the space to build something that large. They look cool though.
Hi Dude, I have a Denon x3600H 9.2 Av receiver. So can you suggest me the low budget speaker system. How many speakers doses it need ? Which is better Klipsch or Polk audio? Thank you.
Sorry man, but I do not have any experience with the brands you mention. I also do not do speaker reviews, so asking me for advice will not help much. Sorry!
@@SoundBlab Thank you for your reply
Which board you have used in the soundbar ?
Link in the description.
What's the width of the soundbar? Just wondering how it will look under my TV
It is a bout 80x80x1235mm
Bello il progetto ma non capisco due cose...
La prima perché lavora così sporco, troppo disordine e sporcizia...secondo, perché fissare la tela con il frontale prima di aver fissato tutto il resto?
Comunque complimenti, bel lavoro!
why not add atmos to your next build
Canal de som legal mas não mostrou a outra caxa

Bonjour comment calculez-vous le volume de l'enceinte? Merci
I use free software called WinISD
@@SoundBlab Merci je l'ai téléchargé mais j'ai l'impression que c'est moi qui n'arrive pas bien à l'utilisé. Merci pour votre réponse.
Hello sir were are you from

Имея столько инструментов 90% людей могут сделать такое же. Не интересно. Сделайте что-то своими руками, без таких крутых инструментов, как это могли бы сделать самые обычные люди. Вот тогда будет лайк. А сейчас - простие, дизлайк. Как на заводе с крутыми инструментами работаете. Никакой "ручной работы".
