Dude, I think you got a defective monitor, something is wrong with your backlight, seems a little too bright.

I don't think he was.

And soloz, do you actually get a blank PCB and solder all the components on? That's crazy. I don't like soldering so much anymore. ;(

I've done some wood cup work in the past.














That's pretty much it :/. Hopefully I'll get to do at least one this summer depending on the monies.

Thanks for your comment. I used some kind of pads that are usually used for chairs so the chair doesn't make marks on the floor. Also under the speaker there is 5mm of rubber. Thanks for comments everyone!
I've been known to build amps for people from time to time. They can be time consuming so I typically just do it on a one at a time basis, however once I move I'll be able to have an actual workbench where I can do casework, which will really clear up my workbench inside... so I can have a dedicated amp building station if I want

And no, the enclosure didn't come with a kit... I didn't buy a kit (unless you count the OptiVol, which was a kit I put together, but I ordered each and every part and the enclosure you're asking about was actually a custom order

And thanks!

Yep, came as a blank pcb and I populated all the parts, after hand matching the resistors and transistors.
I like building amps... it's the casework I don't like. There's just something about starting with all the components and then listening to beautiful music once you're done that gives me a great deal of satisfaction.


Guys, lets stay on topic. There are other threads to post pics of your setup. This thread is specifically to post pictures, ask questions and for discussion on DIY audio.

DIY means you built the speakers.... why are people posting brand names.....

Specially those cd player speakers .

Just finished new LR loud speakers. Duel 12, individual chambers, horn tweeters, extended range mid. Active cross overs. Black vinyl laminate.

Woofers are ported through shared chamber will passive radiator. I do not have pics of bracing or the insides sorry.

Pics can come later.
