    Hi everyone! Its been a long time since I have posted on audio karma. I've been super busy with my engineering degree but recently I have gotten a 3d Printer and I cannot believe I haven't had one of these before. I'm working on designing a dashboard mountable speaker pod for my car using a...

    kick ass diy 2.1 system

    Tiny amount but the sub is terrible at reproducing the high frequencies and it is much more inefficient compared to the faital woofers and the morel tweeters

    kick ass diy 2.1 system

    When I say a stupid amount of noise, it wasn't really a stupid amount, it was just a full spectrum background hiss going to both speakers(woofer and tweeter). In other words, even though the woofer and tweeter had digital crossovers, the hiss was comprised of frequencies outside the crossover...

    kick ass diy 2.1 system

    well I've already coated the cabs in polyurethane. And yes, each driver has its own amp channel. the reason for the noise is that most electrical circuits have some type of noise and I believe the DSP chip picks up some noise after the DSP process and sends it to the amp which then gets...

    DIY Hi-fi two way speakers

    yes I changed the wiring harnesses that came with the amp. Overall it is a very good amplifier and I would highly recommend it. Just make sure you use a high quality power supply. This is a fully active setup. Each woofer and tweeter gets its own channel but I can run the amp in two channel...

    The ultimate party boombox

    Ok so I was finally able to set them up at my buddy’s place and have a proper listen. imaging is pretty dang precise and it should get better once I put the radiuses front baffles on them. Tone and texture is flipping fantastic. The sound that radiates from these is beautiful. All of the fine...

    The ultimate party boombox

    Hi all! I finally got both speakers going and they sound great. I’ve been listening to them near field about 6 feet away from my ears and they sound fantastic. initially they had a harsher more in your face midrange sound but with some measuring and eq I was able to flatten out the frequency...
