you can diy, kaya mo yan....Edrel sells kits....

I dont have any background when it comes to electronics eh. Baka masayang lang. Unlike sa carpentry, karpintero ang tatay ko kaya kahit papaano may kaunti natutunan sa kanya. Can you recommend any reading materials for a newbie? Mag-aral muna bago sumabak.

Thanks mga sirs. And here are my first completed DIY speakers.

sir, baka naman pwedeng makahingi ng dimensions nitong full range speaker box eh? tnx.

me too, I've been building my speaker boxes for eternity since I haven't used up entirely my Cerwin Vega crossovers bought from eBay US for 2 and 3 ways speakers. my latest work was a 12" sub, with a Korean sub amp and a MarcoPilyo sub box, he heh.

cheers!

Also, has anyone tried using those electronic crossovers from cars for your DIY speakers? Are they as durable as those of home audio crossovers?

Cheers!

What you mean by electronic...

Active X-over? If it matches to your home speakers, it makes no difference.....

It's just common knowledge that car audio system uses lower impedance (8ohms also being used) and different shape of drivers to fit in compact space. Aside from that both are designed for music reproduction purposes. We have to note also that some speaker manufacturers also using 4 ohms drivers in their home speaker models.

the car's interior volume is not that big, so 12 volts is fine, may not be the same for home use...but i have done a 2.1 system using similar circuits and turned out okey....YMMV....

^pwede ka rin gumamit ng clear lacquer varnish, meron nyan na naka aerosol cans...

Would'nt that add weight to cone ? I guess for larger woofers, there would not be any noticeable difference, but for smaller cones, baka magka effect.

thanks sir tony for the advise....my main purpose is matangal yung dust na dumikit na sa cone mismo....gumagana naman yung driver,wala problema....medyo eyesore lang kung makitang madumi...btw, its a 12incher montarbo alnico, not so vintage (1990's i think), 16ohms, 50watts. kaya ingat ako mahirap masira...

hope someone can be able to give some tips also...thanks..

ATJr. · « **Reply #585 on:** Jun 02, 2013 at 06:16 AM »

you can also try "goof" using paint brush to clean off dust, pero mahirap ng mabalik sa dati...

pwede mo rin na ipa recone para magmukhang bago...

Hi Everyone,

I am a newbie and is planning to setup a sound system preferably DTS good for listening music (though I watch videos a lot).

I have these speakers which were taken from a karaoke machine and I'm planning to have baffle fabricated and to use as front and rear speakers. I do not know the exact specification of these speaker but was told by my dad that they are 8 ohms and has RMS of 300 watts. If anyone can help thank you in advance.

Below are my enquiries regarding the speakers.

1. Do you know someone who can fabricate speaker baffles for my speakers, I think they are 10 inches?
2. Can I use these speakers for DTS and what would be recommended amplifier, receivers etc?

I think that would be it for now, I apologize in advance if It can be confusing or wrong choice of terms/words since I'm really a noob when it come to this.

Please see the pics below for reference of my speakers.

Thank you Sir!

Any thoughts guys on what receiver I can match these speakers with? I've heard Yamaha receivers are best match when it comes to locally made speakers.
