So the video clip's audio is dominated by hi-frequency waves. Please note : My Handycam's mic picked up the hi-frequency like anything. Also painted them white (inspired by AudioEngine A2) and screwed the original round grill. Received the amp after a week of random testing.Īs I spend most of my time with my computer - I connected the amp to my computer and set the speaker on the floor. He slotted an additional USB card reader (some chinese make) just for my convenience.

Soon things started building up, and the amp was ready in a compact body. He agreed and sourced a STK 4192 II, a 50+50w IC. As I was busy with office works at that time, I decided to settle for STK which was available in his town. He informed me that there is a temporary shortage of MOSFET supply in his town and asked me if I can get the mosfets from Chennai. MOSFET or STK ? We squared on MOSFET based design. After a brief explanation of my idea, he suggested to settle for a 50w+50w stereo amp which will be more than enough for my requirements. So I called my friend in Karur who assembles Audio amplifiers. With the least budget in hand, I cannot afford any high-end stereo amps.

Now the speakers are almost ready in draft fit. Brought the boxes to home and this is how they looked.Īnd this is how it looked with the Ultimate T1 driver. So the construction was little crude, with not-so-precise position of the ports and some visible gaps inside the inner-port plank. His interests lies only in easier, money-making jobs. He was not keen on doing such precision jobs. As mentioned in the Fostex PDF, 15mm plywood was used. The construction took nearly a whole day (I was in the office, so no photos could be taken). Met the carpenter again, explained the design (took a lot of time to convince him to start the work) and handed him the print-outs and the speakers. Instead of the 73mm hole for the speaker, I opted for a 100mm hole matching the T1s. Kick started Google Sketchup and sketched a 3D design matching the dimensions of the enclosure in PDF. Last I read, Fostex products are available from Coimbatore based AUDIRE technologies who specializes in their own portfolio of speakers and amps. Now, having located them I skimmed through and found a matching double-bass reflex enclosure which seemed to be a perfect for the 4" Ultimate T-1s. I had downloaded their whole bunch and archived it some 4 years ago.

Fostex is a japanese brand specializing in full-range drivers as well as mid-bass and tweeter drivers. Rushed home, browsed my computer archives and found the speaker enclosure design PDFs from FOSTEX. Had my doubts about his workmanship quality. He had not worked on any speaker enclosure for a long time. Spoke to him and he asked me to show me the design model. Decided to check if the carpenter can build speaker enclosures. Only then I realized I had no idea on what to do with the speakers!įast forward few months, one day, I happened to locate a carpenter in the next street and immediately an idea was born. I jumped in, PMed him, transferred money and received a pack-sealed, un-used lovely 4" ULTIMATE - T1s (Ultimate models packs a punch! but because of their understated looks they dont stand in the show biz unfortunately). It all started when a fellow BHPian posted a pair of 4" Ultimate speakers for sale in the Classifieds section. This is the story of an experiment gone right!
