DIY Bluetooth Speaker

This was a bluetooth speaker that I made about 7 years ago (2017).  It was in my shop up until recently, where I moved it in to the living room.  It's nothing super crazy, but was pieced together with a bluetooth drive/amp board, DIY crossovers, and speaker components.  I was following plans from a now idle channel/website (Kirby Meets Audio - Elder Speaker), so I'm by no means a speaker designer, I just modified the woodworking side of it to better fit my skills and design ideas, while keeping the internal volume the same. 

Here's a video of the build process of it




I also did a deeper dive on the components inside of it, but that's a lot more boring lol

Nice looking build Mos!
Once again you show us how you let the wood do the talking.
Nice. I like contrast!

Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".

Mos,

Nice Mo. If you wanna send it my way Ill take it that way you can have the fun of making another
Mo do you have a parts list handy you could send? The list in the video is hard to read
Real nice Mos.  The wood really sets it apart.
Mos it would be cooler if you quit using that cheap looking BORG wood on all yer projects.

Magnificent wood like that makes everything Mo betta, nice picks, and good work.
Haha it was actually big green retail giant (Menards), but it's life because I'm lazy 🤣 Back then I didn't have the machines or patience to mill up rough wood. I think the padouk thin stock was Rockler and the curly maple was from curlymaplewood.com if I ferment correctly.

Thanks everyone!

Keebler,  I do have a better list, I'll try to remember to get it uploaded somewhere to share

I like CurlyMaple, Kevin is easy to deal with, and Primo, primo wood.
Agreed, probably one of my favorite spots for such woods.  He's also pretty generous.  He's thrown in a few pieces of free wood as filler instead of packing materials.  That's actually what that piece was.  It was a pretty cupped board, but it was 10" wide, so it was easy to rip off a chunk that was flatter (and then joint it to make it so)
