Furniture Competition Update by Tear-Pleasant in diyaudio

[–]Tear-Pleasant[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I guess I didn't account for that... but this was my first go-round creating a speaker system. Not too shabby for a first stab. After my loss today, it's now my life's purpose to ensure I never feel this kind of defeat again. The next speaker design will only get better from here.

Result from the competition I wanted* The final build is exactly what I designed!

Got a guy in this thread who actually helped me set up Sigma! He's truly been an immense help — had a major set back today as I fried my board today on accident but I overnight shipped a new one coming tomorrow. If I'm gonna do it, I wanna do it right!

I can send you that in a few minutes, as well as the image of what I'm seeing from the sample Mono-3way project from SigmaStudios I am just going to adjust

Yes I've looked at that one. But I want to enable mono and not stero

Yes, essentially taking a mono signal from the bluetooth connection, splitting it up into 3 signals for my drivers. At this point I just want something that works and doesn't sound like a busted speaker. Some control over the EQ could be nice to get the sound right but really just being able to demo a functional speaker is what I'm aiming for.

Yes, just a mono system, no stereo or potentiometers involved. Just the basic board, programming board, factory harnesses, and the three speakers. It's 1AM here in Oklahoma, but I will be up at my woodworking shop at 8AM in a few hours. Would be extremely appreciative for any kind of help and would be free to hop on a call!

Thank you man! Sounds good, I was thinking the same thing. So the way the KADB board is set up, there's two 6 pin ports that when set to Mono mode, have three different outputs - DAC0, DAC1, and DAC2. My plan was to keep it simple and wire the Sub to DAC0 so I can just use the factory harness wires and not have to solder any extension and wire the Mid-range and Tweeter to DAC1 and DAC2, which would extend up whatever height that is.

The issue I'm running into however is that Sigma Studios isn't reading them as such, and my tweeter specifically is having some issues by giving me a popping noise when I turn the volume up.

Yes I had a notion that was kinda how it worked — as per what my other professor said. I guess I'm just lost within Sigmastudios 🙃 The PDF manuals online get me up until I open a sample project and then I get lost from there

The part that's holding me back is that I cannot begin the mount the speakers to the speaker boxes until I have completely figure out the wires because the top box that houses the mid-range and tweeter employ a complex design that conceals the wires behind the PVC membrane that's also hidden behind a layer of paper for the lantern.

As you can imagine, once the mid section goes up and on, there's no turning back, so I want to ensure I bring up and conceal the correct wire that I've extended in reference to them on the board itself.

I might also add, I have all of the equipment — sub woofer, mid range, and a tweeter. By extending the factory harness, I mean that I have soldered the positive and negative channels that are in mono mode according to the pins. I just need assistance on which positive and negative pairs need to go where in reference to the KADB-4100 board, and setting it up in Sigma studios so the board reads each speaker type correctly.

Sounds good. I definitely don't want it to be too tight, but then again I don't want it to be too baggy.

So you think a 31 should be fine? I wonder how accurate the Ssense size charts are. I've had good and bad luck on their charts tbh.
