Hello all,
Greetings. I'm Ron. I want to build a great sounding portable Bluetooth speaker. I've searched the site and found tidbits but not much that would really help a noob like me. I've also youtube'd a ton and there are so many variations of speaker its a little daunting to a noob like me. From all my research I have a few questions and have determined what I would like(I think) in the speaker. Any help/advice would be greatly apprecitated!
*Good Sound (obviously) to me that means good deep base and killer highs
*Portable, but not too small. Shoebox size is good.
*Rechargeable/AC powered with ability to turn off charger while plugged in. Saw this on a youtube vid and seems like a good idea.
*FM radio capable(AM would be nice too but not necessary.
Some other thoughts. Most of the speakers I saw on youtube were mono. Is there a reason for this? Seems stereo would be better?
Speakers. What size should the speakers be limited to so the battery has a decent runtime? Say at least 8 hours or so? For that matter, what type of speakers should I purchase? Full range and a small woofer or tweeters and a woofer?
I will be making my own enclosure out of wood.
I would need a list of all parts to order and a wiring diagram/schematic. Even if someone could direct me to a website where this has already been done that would be great too!
I'm sure I'm forgetting something. Thanks all!
Ron
