4 years ago I watched this video and it inspired me to mess around with wood, I now own my own woodworking business and left a career banking job. Thanks for sharing your work.
Couldn’t finish the great build you were making because that music was killing me
This is what happens when Kirby meets audio. And it’s the best feeling ever when its set up in the place Great build.
That was 17 mins and 15 seconds of pure relaxation......... What a way to chill out. Amazing workmanship too :-) keep up the great work
I like it when you clean the wood with your bare hands :)
Thanks for watching!
Hands down, the most beautiful thing I've ever seen!
From an old school. I love the original design. That is the way my brain work. take something and make it your own. WOW!!
as always very enjoyable video! as a little suggestion, I don't recommend mounting drivers to the back of the board as it gives the sound room to reflect.
Just got goosebumps, hypnotized and captivated for 17min. Awesome video and awesome work, thanks for sharing!!!
You make some beautiful speakers Kirby! Also your build plans are the best I've EVER seen.
Damn this is some interesting, entertaining and actually relaxing stuff to watch. Good work making this kind of video a quality content.
What a lovely speaker! More knowledge for my brain and to do for my soul big big thanks from Argentina.
these videos are so well shot i can spend the whole day just watching them to relax
Man, you are great!!! Fantastic. You made my evening!!!
Love the video style and editing. Very inspiring .
Wey.... que hermoso trabajo!!! Me encanto .... no me perderé tus vídeos ya que me inspiran a buscar inspiración y crear mis propias cosas, ya tienes un fan en México!!! saludos!!!
I have to say watching your build videos is a zen moment for me.
I love that! It's pretty zen for me too. Thanks for watching, Jason!
Two quick question I would love to make this project, but, the easiest way to integrate it into my very simple setup is with an optical audio cable. Do you have any recommendations on what parts I should get to add an optical audio port? I think this is something I am going to look into. Also have you played with torching the front panel of wood to make the grain stand out more?
You can get one of those cheap chineese 5.1 decoders and modify them, they can decode an digital spdif signal (a.k.a signal from an optical audio cable) and output 5.1 channels. With some work you can make the 5.1 output to an 2.1 ;)
Thanks MrApplecraft, I found this on Amazon, but I need a way of integrating it with the back of the speaker. amazon.ca
Digital to analog converter would be the easiest way to hook it up.
I feel like I could be whatching all your videos for ever :O ! Amazing work, keep up!!
Gorgeous photography.... aweaome projects. 👍
Thanks, Leonardo!
Absolutely love the style of video. Great looking sound bar. Keep it up!
You're lucky you've got the tools and knowledge to construct such good speakers! keep that way, I wish you all the best!!! greatings from Serbia!
It's great his channel is tiny but technical
you sir, are definitely beyond human. hands down.
you are really a artist, the speaker the kind of videomaking, its art. great. i like it
Man Everytime iwatch your videos bro..... Nuff respect
Fantastic craftsmanship... but I've been always wondering, when watching your videos, if there is some proper acoustics engineering involved in your projects?
I'm an electrical engineering student and was wondering the same thing. I've built a few simple speakers with copper wire and a magnet; granted they sounded like crap but it worked.
Absolutely! But I don't solely focus on getting the best sound possible. I try to find a balance between form and function, using acoustical engineering when needed but still allowing for the project to look good. Theres a lot more forgiveness to speaker design than people think. Thanks for watching!
Justin Rush when you build speaker cabinets, best to use MDF wood and use a online software to measure the size of your cabinet and spacing of speakers based on the type of speaker drivers you using, to give best acoustic sound. you can use a thing layer of pine wood for finishing over the top of the MDF wood for the wood grain look., then use electronic crossover if you can afford it, that's what what high end speaker companies do. never use pine for the entire build as pine gives un-natural resonance and inaccurate acoustic bass sound stage. MDF wood is always best used for speaker cabinets. I've built many speaker cabinets and every driver is different, so online measure based on driver used is best, as some drivers may be need to be ported and others not. this guy just design a cabinet based on wrong materials no measure based on the drivers for accurate acoustic sound either. It's going to sound like a small alarm clock radio with lots of distortion and lack of bass.
Wayne Gale, would you recommend some specific software?

I can't even tell you how much you inspire me!
Dear Kirby, thank you for creating amazing audio DIY videos I have always wanted to build a speaker but never really started a project until I saw your videos :) I have bought the plans from your site for the sound bar. I have a question I would like to have a center speaker as well so in the bar it self will be a left center and right speaker plus the sub what is the best way to wire the speakers ? Thank you for your time
even if I never made a set of speakers. I would still enjoy your videos
I could look and listen to this video...for an indefinite amount of time.
Impresionante trabajo hermano. Hecho con pasión y dedicación.
Awesome. You are a true artist. And what a photography!!!
Thanks, Gustavo!
hey! this is awesome, i love your way of working, im trying to make my own workplace like yours. what do you use to paint that black part?.. and also what's that brown ink that you use? thank you and hope to see more of your videos
On some project and saw you put additional capacitor between the speaker and tweeter is there specific size for the capacitor or just any capacitor will work???
I dug the video. Solid build, but it was doing the music yourself that got you the like.
Awesome i love it! i will build my own. Now question for you.. Would you put a woofer in the same area as the mid drivers and tweeter if the the port is big enough? I was thinking a passive radiator, but also thinking if the port is big enough putting a small subwoofer. Thanks!
Amazing man ! You are just making speakers but it's healing inside.
This video was utterly satisfying! Good Job
I get the asmr with the miter saw, I will try with some speakers I have lying around. Thanks for the inspiration, build plans and great video. I swear two works of art every video
Thanks, Nel!
Your Video Editing Was Spot On.Your Works Building That Speaker Absolutely Great.Perfectly Nice,Well Done.
Thanks so much!
Great video! I have been looking at 5.1 sound bar systems (Vizio) but your video has given me some additional ideas as I also just purchased a table saw, drill press and miter saw! With some thought I think I can get these basic ideas into a full 5.1 bluetooth system for surround sound. Should be super sound as I can pick the drivers and it will be good looking too.
David Gillooly Upload your making video please.
david there is more to a 5.1 system then just the speakers. first and for most, your stereo needs to support 5.1 and the content your watching/listening too has to be 5.1, only way to have true 5.1 system on all sounds (music, movies, etc) is to go Dolby digital live.
Hi ! I was wondering how did you filter the sound that goes to your tweeters ? Did you use a simple capacitor ? Thank's !
Hi Kirby, great video as usual. One question though, how do you mortise the edges when like the common of mortals you don't have a router table? Any help would be welcomed. Cheers
is a therapy to me, see you working
Thanks, Alex!
Love your videos! The music really taked it to the next level. Really wanna know what song this is. Any info?
I would love to see a 7.1 system build
nice background for delay+guitar improvisation 😎
Молодец, безусловно лайк за золотые руки)))
do you have a tutorial on how you did the wiring? your speaker looks awesome btw.
Fantastic work! Amazing speakers choice! Is it possible make a video with your system playing?
Can't wait to see the channel get big
Me too! Though, 12,000 is HUGE for me.
Subscribed! Actually a relaxing, enjoyable, and educational experience.
u r v.creative, awesome, watched every second of this video
I love all your videos. I find myself in a limbo between in utter zen and peace of mind, or raging jealousy of your job and your life (of what I can see) :) I am 15 and looking at different options for what I want to do after education, working with such beautiful tools and materials plus getting such an amazing product at the end of it really appeals to me. If you get a moment it would be very helpful to me if you could explain how you got to where you are now, and benefits / cons to what you do (I am presuming you do it as a bill payer and not just a hobby) Any information would be greatly appreciated. Good luck.
First vid i've seen of you... that is the most confident subscription i think i've ever made. you are truly one of the best
Thank you so much!
After you apply the black stain what did you do to get that look? It looks so stunning and would like to add that to project I'm working on
This is therapeutic.
this was so well put together! great job man.
Thanks so much, Kym!
you are a genius man
Man, your videos are so much inspiring and your HQ materials and machines are making your product the best! I hope to see how you are building wood speaker horn.
Thank you!
Kirby, you're a real inspiration man! I'm looking to build a Bluetooth rechargeable speaker setup into a center console for my classic car and I wish I had your skill set and know how going into it. Any pointers?
beautiful i'm speachless.
wonderful, I am interested in to build my own, but no clue what and where to buy the circuit board and connectors and watts and volt measurements.
que trabalho magnifico parabéns
owww yeah. one of my favorite types of sound system. nice work even thou im about to watch it. thumbs up brother
Thank you, Pat!
Great work! Did you condition your wood prior to staining?
Looks great! Any sound tests on that setup? Also what brand of speakers are you using and what are you using to power them?
Thanks for the video Kirby! is the soundbar a sealed box or ported? Also, what crossover are you using in the soundbar. Thanks
Love your videos, thanks. Planning to buy 2 plans from your website. But i got one question; I want to use the Dayton Plate with wifi connect so i can use the app to control. I think it works the same way. But for the other speakers i also want to connect with wifi, but i can't find the right Amp board. Does Dayton has more Amp boards with wifi so i can make multiroom speakers? I did find the external boxes but i want them intergrated into the speaker
Nice creation& good workmanship👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
amazing job, love to have one of those
I'm really addicted to these videos... And I don't know why...
Really relaxing and enjoyable watching this!
What you do and how you present it, is almost spiritual! You deserve way more subs :)
Thank you!
did you hook the two mid range in series? I was watching and could not decide if you had. wont the speakers require to much power? those were 2 4ohms in series making 8ohms. Wouldn't their combined wattage be greater than the amps possible out put of the amp or are they close enough? i am knew to this and was just wondering. Great Work!!!!
Hi! First of all, keep up the good work! Great vids and music, easy-to-follow tutorials. What kind of wood mordant / stain do you use? The black one is great, after you sand the stuff the wood vein become visible, it's so nice. And for the redwood? Greetings from Hungary
I love the way he make the videos.. its all about speakers but its kinda rellaxing tho ☺️
I agree on that!
Thank you!
heey I see your speaker builds and they are beautiful, it has inspired me. I would like to have 2 separate speaker on one Bluetooth device. so how do you make it ?
very nice work man congrats.. is that what u do, varnishing or teak oiling ?
this was a great video.. So relaxing to watch an just an amazing job.. lots of links to so much to help anyone that wants yo make or buy..just an amazing job..
Красавчик!!! Шикарно!!
billy bad ass.... inspiring. ...
Okay Now that was a piece of art. great job man keep it up
i love the way you present your work and love for speaker building and music. could you give the details of material used for this speaker??? a printable ??
Awesome looking video, really fun to watch, unfortunately from a person who doesn't normally build speakers to have some explanations during the video would be pretty cool. keep up the good work
senza parole e bellissimo
гениальная работа!!!
You are a professional!! excellent work!
muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuito bonito o trabalho men. Esta de parabéns!
Kirby, the build is great! But your video is visual and aural meditation. Is it possible to get the track somewhere. I have this video on loop. Thanks for amazing content.
This is amazing. How do you know how to do all this stuff?
Las cosas bien echas ,bien parecen .Saludos
very unique damn good build man its very unique
which is best, downfiring or frontfiring subwoofer?
What kind of Tape are you using when you do the Glue ups? And Whats the Planing machine you're using? Is it portable?
Ok I like the recessed design of the speakers but in terms of sound quality which was better flush mount or recess? I have built a couple of speaker enclosures and the recess mount always acted like a wave guide. The sound was always muted or distorted compared to flush mounting.
I just love your videos man! So clean and satisfying :) I'm building speakers too. So, i just wanna know what are you using for painting the wood. A sponge? XD
Sound test? :D Clean work btw :P
Este es un magnifico trabajo. Aqui en mexico estaran a la venta y en donde?
hello Kirby! im a big fan of your work, infact i made my own speakers! Lol, but mine are bad build! Lol, may i ask what is the polishing solution you use? the clear one and the dark one?
