About DIY Loudspeaker Building - 2nd Edition: Packed With
Review [This book] uses a unique practical style... I love the author's practical tips, such as using a moistened finger to check for air leaks from enclosures. His underfloor sub-woofer enclosures are another great idea. The book is liberally illustrated with clear colourful photos, essential for practical work. I can see this book introducing many to the delights of home-brewed speakers. - from the review in Everyday Practical Electronics magazine, April 2017 Product Description Here’s a book on building your own speakers that’s packed with great new ideas. Building a pair of underfloor 15-inch subwoofers for your home, integrating quality ported enclosures into your walls or ceiling – even developing your own spherical-shaped hi-fi speakers.There’s also coverage of software to design speaker enclosures, to determine the specs of second-hand or unknown drivers, and to measure the performance of your new speakers. Here are ideas that you can take and apply for yourself, without needing to buy expensive brand-name drivers or have high-level woodworking skills. Practical and down to earth, the 68 large-format pages are packed with content – nearly 150 full colour photos showing step-by-step construction, and the projects start from just a few dollars. This second edition adds extended coverage on testing speakers, how to obtain quality loudspeaker drivers at low cost, how to cheaply adjust tweeter levels, and building a subwoofer from pre-built enclosures. Read this book and start building quality speakers today! From the Author Author YouTube video: youtu.be/yIeZL-MoFMg I've been building my own speakers for many years - and even writing about the designs for print magazines and websites. And I've also bought plenty of speaker building books. But one thing I've always found frustrating about the books is that they require that you buy new drivers and then laboriously build your own enclosures. So what's wrong with that? Well, by the time you buy new drivers and crossovers, in many cases you have already spent more money that buying good quality speakers from a shop! And building the enclosures? I am lucky enough to have a full home workshop (complete with wood-cutting table saw, drop-saw, router and so on) and even I blanche a bit at the thought of building lounge-room quality timber enclosures. So in this book I avoid both shortcomings. The drivers I use are largely secondhand or otherwise cheap to buy, and the enclosures use either prebuilt boxes, or the boxes are hidden out of sight. Suddenly, speaker building is available to everybody! From the Back Cover Here's a book on building your own speakers that's packed with great new ideas.
