My First Build | Bookshelf Speakers

[made2hack]

Hi all,

As per my introduction post, I am sharing my first speaker build with the community. I welcome all constructive criticism, be as harsh as you want. I've no doubt made dozens of mistakes in this build.

Here's a link to my build video, I don't know how to embed the video in the forum.

DIY Bookshelf Speakers

Some things I didn't mention in the video:
- I was aiming for a quarter wave transmission line topology
- I forgot to order the inductors with my parts order, as a result, I used an off the shelf 3.3kHz / 12dB per octave iron core crossover
- In a future build, I will do the crossover at 2500 Hz using air core coils and caps
- I left all the imperfections from my "woodworking" as is, since I don't seem to get along that well with wood
- I used 12 mm (1/2 inch) MDF as the material
- I also used some Monacor sound dampening material in the case

Aside from that, I think most of the details are evident.

Thanks,

We can say not bad turned out, seen tried! The most important thing is that you understand the errors and have fresh ideas how to fix them and improve your prototype
