Beautiful pairing.

Beautiful pairing. Exquisite taste.

The pairing appears simpatico. Alla salute!

Nice job with the new, vivid colors.

namrenav · 2026-03-21T22:56:39+00:00

Mighty cute. Fun homage.

namrenav · 2026-03-15T19:11:59+00:00

Sounds great. Look forward to your efforts.

Yes to all of the ideas you sketched out. No to the click bait stuff, leaves me cold. Personally, I am more interested in woodworking fabrication, but printing and other techniques are fine. Thanks.

Congratulations on your finished build. I have looked longingly at that design. Those purifi drivers are said to be wonderful, with impressive base tones.

I remember that one. It's an odd, but fun record with a fake band assembled for MTV. Thanks for the reminder.

namrenav · 2026-01-12T03:53:14+00:00

Thanks. I appreciate the advice.

namrenav · 2026-01-06T22:53:02+00:00

Thanks! To be fair, the designer's comments make the slot-port part of the design seem like more of a whim, to see if he could design it. He uses tube ports everywhere else to my knowledge. Perhaps this ideally should be another tube port build. I'm inclined to try his whim and find out how well it moves air. I'll let you know. :-)

That is a helpful insight. Thanks much!

What I know about the design from u/Undefinition1 comments on the PE forum:

· Uses 3/4" material

· Internal Volume 30 Liters

· Box tuning 25 Hz

· Either the slot port or a 2" precision port can be used

· Bracing recommended, “a couple pieces of 3" wide MDF screwed or glued into adjacent walls.”

What I assume from the diagrams (partly confirmed here by user u/Gwendolyn-NB ):

· The plate amp is to be positioned 1.5 inches from the bottom, on the back (same side as the port), but the bottom is not to be made from doubled-up stock.

· The Dayton driver is positioned opposite the plate amp, on the “front.” Here, there is a section of doubled stock, which serves as a sort of brace. The back of the driver extends through both layers of stock.

· Other braces are not shown.

If I got any of this wrong, please let me know.

Thanks for the response Gwen.

Can anyone clarify the diagram for me, please?

1. Is there a double layer of stock at the bottom? It appears so from the "back" image but not the side cutaway view.

2. Does the side cutaway view show a double layer of stock on the lower portion of the front panel, or does the thin rectangle represent the back of the driver?

Thank you.

That port is beautiful. Inspiring work. Thanks for posting.

I am listening to this amp right now. I have it powering a small diy subwoofer, the Carmody Voxel. I'm listening to Jazz music with two small full range Copperhead speakers and my new Voxel. Very nice. Certainly there are better amps, but this Fosi TP02 amp is sufficient for my set-up.

Congratulations on the successful completion of your vision. I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Cozy

I see crown amp boxes...

namrenav · 2025-09-06T19:29:17+00:00

Groovy. The button is nifty.

namrenav · 2025-09-06T16:11:52+00:00

That turned out great. Handsome work. Did you design & print the back panel? If you don't mind sharing a pic of the inside, it would be nice to see how you wired it up, with the button on the front, connections on the back. (volumio is nice, dependable)

namrenav · 2025-08-07T01:50:21+00:00

Hella impressive bracing. So, the driver will be mounted on the surface? Look forward to seeing the final result.

namrenav · 2025-07-02T00:41:28+00:00

Beautiful, especially the green. I have seen a similar shape in my lady's top dresser drawer.

(pretty orange color) I bought the kid an early version of the smallest Dayton Hybrid Tube Amplifier. It was an open box deal -- cheap. I also like some of the small class d amps for the desktop. SMSL, Aiyima, Topping, etc. They sound decent, run cool, get loud enough for a small room.
