Build your own High End Subwoofer

Joe L — Mon, 04 May 2009 16:33:39 +0000

Learn how to build a sleek, powerful DIY subwoofer and speaker system in your spare time.Â� Using a basic subwoofer driver, this modder created a custom enclosure, control system, and sound system while documenting the entire build process so you can follow along and create your own.

How does it sound though? The author says, “Sound is better than I assumed it to be. Bass is easy to follow, and it sounds generally really dry and precise. Single 10″ driver won’t shake your house, but still it does pretty good job in movies adding lots of depth.” Not bad for a weekend project! Receive daily Hack N Mod updates!

These inspirational custom speaker displays are a perfect demonstration of DIY at its best.Â� Check out these creative enclosures and learn how to create your own.Â� The speakers above were figurines which have been hollowed out for speaker enclosures.

If you have ever shopped for speaker mounting kits you know they are quite expensive. This tutorial walks you through learning to construct your own hardware style speaker stands.

This is a project anyone can do, and looks fantastic when itâ€™s completed. Basically, take an old speaker, remove the black exterior (exposing the hardware), add shelving, and youâ€™ve got a snazzy media cabinet for your DVDs, NES games, and more.

Acoustic instruments radiate sound in a wonderfully complex, 360 degree fashion, while conventional loudspeakers radiate in a much more boring, spotlight of sound. You could spend a ton of money on fancy products or you could follow this simple tutorial to make your own awesome audio system.
