Is there a section on the site that discusses Sound bars?

Is there a thread about soundbars, making your own, parts, supplies and designs?

Everything is covered, some in Multi-Way, some in Amplifiers, some in Line-Level.

I thought about it a while back for my Mum but decided I couldn't compete with a £200 ready made soundbar complete with sub.
With full size speakers, the economics of large boxes make DIY more cost effective.
Nothing to stop you doing it for the fun of it.

I've seen projects with an array of small full-rangers.

I've seen a lot on YouTube, i was wondering if anyone here had done the project themselves with maybe a higher power amp and speakers, as well as tying in Hdmi, optical, rca cables etc...

I think you should start a thread in Line Level to discuss the interface, and another in Speakers to discuss the box.

If you use high powered amps and (bigger) speakers, it stops being a sound bar and becomes a powered speaker.
If you want to go big, build a system with full size speakers.
To get the features you want the simplest DIY route is to hack an existing sound bar for the clever bits & add whatever amps & speaker you want. This has been done.
