Speaker wiring note: All speakers have a resistance, called Ohm. If a speaker has 8ohms, and you wire 6 of them up in series, the resistance will be 48ohms (6 x 8 = 48), which is too much for an amplifier. Wiring them in parallel results in 1.4Ohms (8 / 6 = 1.333) which is too little for the amplifier. So, what I did was divide the 6 speakers into 3 sets of 2, and wire each set of 2 together in series for 16ohm. I then connected these 3 16ohm sets in parallel to result in an overall resistance of 5.4Ohms, which should be within a typical expected range for an amplifier (4 to 8 ohms).

One thing: I don't know if many people who use their product realize when you turn the razor over there is a tiny hidden blade for getting tight places like under your nose and squaring off side burns. Just hold the handle at nearly 90 degrees to make it work properly. A very cool feature!

  • Yes, you managed to get it done, now, you see that more than an overall knowledge is necessary, also the tools, 3d printer and all the gear to make it so. Francisco Iniguez said it better than me, usually, the person who DO this type of things have all the resources at hand. That laptop screen adapter on the other hand is a really nice tip to have at hand when a screen for a project is required, but it lacks of one of the main functions of the smart mirror, that it has to be touchscreen and independent, if there's a lot of preparation to be done to get the thing running before you start shaving, then is easier to get the laptop into the bathroom and play wherever on it, don't get me wrong, theres a lot of good and valuable information and tips on your video (the type of paint, the usb 3.0 adapter, using a bank as a source) and also is really enjoyable to watch, but it may be missing the main point of the practicality of having a smart screen as a mirror on the bathroom

I know it's pretty difficult to determine, but maybe you could produce a simple chart including the materials for the project with estimated prices, and builders with several of those materials laying around could subtract that price. Just a thought. Great video as always.
