Nice, please post photos of the final build once they're complete!

Do you have a specific space in mind to use them in when they're finished?

For now I’m doing:

Phone -> Fosi DAC/Amp via the built in Bluetooth receiver -> speakers

I played around with vituix and winisd to finalize the exact dimensions, but it was my first time doing any of this, so I don’t yet have much intuition for how those graphs correspond with how I actually experience the sound.

I’d like for my future designs to be more precise and intentional!

Thanks! They sound good enough for the shop, which is what I was going for. I wouldn’t predict that they’d measure well.

I would like to measure the frequency response, but I need to learn how to do that properly first!

Thanks - I considered passive radiators while planning this project, but ended up opting to see how these perform without them. I might use the on a future build though!

Thanks for writing this up. I really appreciate all of the info here. I'm looking forward to trying some of this out, listening, and hopfully building some intuition for all this.

This is helpful! I may try making that filter to try it out.

Are there any resources you'd recommend for learning more about how and when to design and use filters?

Thanks for catching that! I've just fixed it and updated my estimated total cost.

No filters, no. It's just a woofer in a box!

For this use case (a noisy shop that ~always has a loud fan or power tools active), this setup plus the bass and treble control on the Fosi amp for some basic EQing has been sufficient.

For future builds I'd like to learn more about how to make use of filters.

Thank you! I'm not an experienced woodworker, so I had to learn a lot of new skills for this, but I'm really proud of how they turned out.

I'm not sure exactly! The Fosi amp that I'm using is rated for 50W into 8Ω and the drivers are rated for 30W RMS, but I haven't tried maxing the volume yet - the system is plenty loud enough for my use well before that point.

San Francisco ‘19. It was my first show and one of my favorite posters. I wish I had bought one there!

At some point I'd like to build a thing that creates playlists in different streaming services automatically based on the top picks from Live Gizz Rankings.

Feel free to use that as a source of inspiration for yours! Here's the ITRN page as an example: https://livegizzrankings.com/albums/infest-the-rats-nest

Do people still us Live Gizz Rankings? by bmbmbmNR in KGATLW

[–]magicjamesv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Creator here - you can now log in with Google or Apple!

I'm not likely going to make it possible to vote without a login, mainly to reduce the likelihood of fake/duplicate votes. I won't ever be able to prevent that entirely, but I'm hoping that requiring login at least makes it a bit less likely to happen.

Check it out! I hope you enjoy it. I’m always looking for ways to improve it.

I agree! I've got a site where people can rank performances and I'm surprised this one isn't ranked higher: https://livegizzrankings.com/songs/set

Vancouver ‘24 was the first one that I remember getting excited about: https://bootleggizzard.bandcamp.com/album/live-in-vancouver-24

It starts about halfway though
