You can also see that I have made a shallow notch around the inside of the top panel so that the vinyl leather can rest against without protruding too much therefore the control panel can be mounted flush, leaving almost no gaps.Many new techniques have been used throughout the project to improve the overall quality and finish of the speaker.As always, the parts and materials list, wiring diagram, build plans and many detailed pictures are included so lets go grab our tools and start building Add Tip Ask Question Comment Download Step 1: Plans and Design The main objective of this project for me was to build a decent looking, not too much volume-occupying Bluetooth speaker that would provide plenty of power into the speakers.Therefore for this speaker I chose a pair of Hertz DSK 165 2-way speakers, which can take up to 80W RMS of power each.
They provide crisp and boomy sound, without overwhelming bass and yet they are super affordable. ![]() Therefore I am unable to provide a great sound test or SPL graphs for true audiophiles but I am trying my best and learning to achieve satisfying results. I designed my speaker on Sketchup, which is a free program for designing - simple to use and can create great results. I also needed to use Autocad for sketching out the laser-cut parts. The materials that were used were 12mm MDF board, 4mm plywood and leather vinyl.

Of course, not every part or tool is necessary but it is always good to know what you will need. As mentioned before, I used 12mm MDF for the enclosure and 4mm plywood for panels and logos. Feel free to use any set of speakers that are 165mm (6.5 inch) and are able to receive at least 60W RMS for best results. The speaker has been designed for European and American use, therefore once built, the speaker will be able to accept AC voltages ranging from 85 to 230 Volts, suitable for many countries around the world. You can also see that I cut out the circles for the speaker drivers, the slot for the control and back panels, also the slots for handles. To cut the slots out I simply stuck the laser-cut templates centered to the piece, traced around the inside and roughly cut it out using a jigsaw. Add Tip Ask Question Comment Download Step 4: Router Work In my opinion this step is necessary for a nice finish when making slots for a control and back panel for the speaker. For that you will need a wood trimming router combined with a flush trim bit, preferably a spiral bit which cuts nicer and is safer to use. Feel free to take my uploaded laser-cut plans to your local company which could cut out the pieces for you. In the plans you will find a template for the front and the back panel. Find the centers of your top and back pieces and stick the templates on the pieces nicely in the center. Then using the flush trim router bit, cut along the edge of the template. For the slots for the handles I stuck four straight plywood pieces along the edge, creating a template which the router bit could trim along. Then using the rabbeting bit I cut out a notch to flush mount the plywood back panel.
