Project Information
Made from Walnut and Maple, this desktop appliance (for lack of a better name) reduced a lot of the cables and other electronics that have crept into the shop. It is Bluetooth enabled so I can listen to my music or watch old '80s TV shows on Netflix and has USB charging ports for my phone. It has its own volume control and has a 3.5mm auxiliary input plug if you don't have a Bluetooth enabled device.
The front is cut out with my CNC machine. It is cut from the back to accommodate the component recesses. The front detail was done on my router table.
This is by far the most aggressive electronics project that I have built to date. However, my soldering skills are getting better as I get more practice.
The parts involved in this project include:
2 ea 5" full range drivers - http://amzn.to/2E4B5s5
5/8" tweeter - http://amzn.to/2EKlNWs
Dayton Audio Bluetooth Audio Amplifier - http://amzn.to/2nHxRAy
Dayton Audio Function Cables - http://amzn.to/2nSfCb0
USB Female Connectors - http://amzn.to/2nGWpto
Voltage Regulator - http://amzn.to/2BflinF
Standoffs (for mounting the boards) - http://amzn.to/2E8BtpD (Note: I didn't have the screws that fit into this so I just used another standoff to secure the board to the interior of the case)
Switch - http://amzn.to/2C0X4KH
Female power pigtail - http://amzn.to/2GSk1mG
The tweeter crossover was made with parts I had laying around. If I were to do it again, I may use a pre-made crossover such as this one - http://amzn.to/2BdJvut
As always comments and critiques are most welcome.
Thanks for looking!
