Open Baffle speakers - cheap and simple Creative full range driver on a cardboard !
This is a el-cheapo full range speaker system [including amplification!].
I've made use of good old Creative SBS A35 drivers and built-in amplifier.
Drivers are mounted on a piece of stiff cardboard that's it!!
I've made use of The Edge [www.tolvan.com/edge/help.htm] to determine the drive position on the baffle.
End results are simply superb! I've never seen these speakers perform like this in their original enclosure. Open Baffle build somehow is extracting great performance from these humble drivers. Of course low frequency response is nothing great but some of the songs sound really great making one think why would anybody spend big monies on other systems!

This is an unboxing and brief review of Tissot Heritage Petite Seconde hand wound watch. This is not a particularly popular Tissot let alone a popular watch in general.

This is a HMT Pilot Watch with a timeless Classic Black Dial and simple indices. Though the quality of hand applied indices and crystal leave a lot to be desired - but for me it is 'the' best looking HMT ever!!! Especially with that delicious Jubilee bracelet! My patience really paid off after waiting really long for this watch to be available on hmtwatches.in I could source the right bracelet....

Kitna kharcha hota hai aisi system built karne me
you forgot to play keith don't go... or dire straits - you and your friend
I've posted Keith don't go video too..
Good job! 👏🏼 Nice sound, but it needs a subwoofer for the low frequencies.
Please try a completely open FR driver mounted on top of a boxed woofer. I did it and I'll never listen to anything else! Fflute will be way more clean, but yours still sounds amazing! 🎉 On the woofer, you need a 6.8 mh inductor and maybe a small resistor in series (if the woofer is too loud, or drowns out the precious top end). The speakers I made are dipole and completely open air and warmed up in the sound by the woofer. I put mine into a hifi shop for their opinion. The last time I did it, they loved them! And a high-end dude was visting the shop and also heard them. He loved them too, and they only cost a few hundered to make. The open FR drivers only cost $9 each! 😅 But they are vastly modified with cutaways (too much to go into in a YT comment).
I have one classic black pilot for sale. Please contact me if anyone is interested.
Price bro
Which fullrange driver would you recommend?
Wow... what a brilliant sound... Good Job
ಅದ್ಬುತ ವಾದ sounding 🎼🎼🎼🎼 simply ಸ್ವೀಟ್ setup ✨✨✨
Thanks Manju sir! :)
Nice, simple but effective. paired with a subwoofer and hpf on the tv speakers and of course some better wood plus damping, this already sounds awesome. I always enjoy open baffle speakers more
Thank you! I have now built a line source array with 6 full range drivers on 2 inch thick and 5 inch wide wooden baffle on each side working as desktop speaker supported with repurposed monitors working as subwoofer. :)
One NOS Karna Grey is on the way.. eagerly waiting for that 🔥
I own this watch and I had the wide flat lugs, it wears like a 44mm
❤❤❤❤❤
Perhaps its the recording, but there is something very off with the guitar overtones.
What is rhe approximate volume of rhe enclosures?
Hey thanks for the vedio. Its best detailed one. Have one question i have got matt finsh after using com merge. Now i have got 2k clear spray the one you mentioned in the link. Do i need to use it straighty away after washing and drying the surface. Amd also, did you use it yourself and did u get glossy finsh.
Thanks. I didn't use 2k clear coat. It wouldn't be any different from what i used in application. It's just that you can't reuse the can after a long gap of few days.
@haider11able I re-read your comment. if you got matt finish after com merge means the spray atomized heavily. check after wet sanding if you get the gloss back. If not, scuff the surface well with 1500 grit wet sand paper and then use the 2K clear spray. wet sanding before polishing is required for the clear gloss finish.
Thanks a ton for reply..if not for your reply, i would have applied 2k coat straight away without wet sanding with 1500 grit.
@@haider11able Even in my case - you can see immediately after com merge - finish was matt. Final wet sanding is what brought out the shine. But Com-merge is a substandard product. It'll wear out under harsh conditions in few weeks. You are better off with a good 2K clear coat. Keep your 1500 grit sanding uniform - do not deep scratch the paint before clear coat as it'll be visible through clear coat after your final wet sanding/polishing. All the best!
brass case😞
Please explain about this transformer
Do you need the official screen? Any aliexpress ones I can use?
You should be able to use most screens with HDMI option.
Would you like to share the circuit diagram of this Class A amplifier and bias schematic
that sound can my smartphone play too, just play japanese drummfire 😂😂😂😂😂😂
it's not heavy to play guitar solo soft and quit. just show how your system works with powerful japanese drummfire, drumfire showing real quality and limit of high end and perfect systems 😂😂😂😂
Is it the Golden Ratio design by Planet Hifi?
That's correct.
@@somspaple But then, there has to be an speaker offset of at least 4mm!!! Even if the eye has some problems with it - in the end it is about accoustics! regards Steve
What is the Power Reserve after full winding?
I've not tested it - Tissot claims 46 hours. Since I wear other watches too , never get a chance to check the actual power reserve .
Beautiful Watch
What is the preamp?
Brother how to order karna. It is not available in site.
Please stop sharing this music. It plays well even in a crap system.
hehe!! you seem to be hurt that it sounds better in a good system! fyi - there are couple of other videos of well recorded music being played.
@@somspaple i liked this music before but i hear this music everytime on youtube test videos so i am tired of hearing it. Hurt from what? I already have a very good system and i just started to hate hearing this music . I hope it wont be shared anymore.
@@crazy_istanbul_cat it's only natural for people to playback well recorded music ... because it sounds good!! btw this was posted some 3+ years ago. All the best in your crusade discouraging people from playing this music online!! And congrats on the very good system!
Karna expensive 4800 something but superb
Sounds great and does justice for live vocal and acoustic instruments. I wonder they sound with Pop, Rock, Blues, and other genres? Can you try out and post some sound clips from "I Will Remember" by Toto and/or "Ride Across The River by Dire Straits?
Lovely sound! I liked the Tone control. 😁Thanks for sharing!
ordered the same today. cheera
Hello buddy, I hope that you and your family are doing well. Can you tell me where you got the jubilee bracelet for the pilot watch ? And how much did you got it for ? please. Hope the watches get restocked on hmt website before Christmas!
There is this guy called Gautam Haryani on hmt watch group on FB - I got mine from him. I would suggest you join these groups as members frequently post alerts as and when the stock is available.

hi bro, may I ask for a list of transistors you use, the problem is that some transistors are hard to find on the market. Thank you
At present I'm using MJL 4302 and MJL 4281 and they are available on elelments14.com
@@somspaple thanks and really appreciate the reply, I meant the replacement transistor numbers for 2SA634, 2SC1096, 2SA872, 2SC1775. I'm worried that mismatched transistor pairs could result in bad sound.
@@eeettt184 matched pairs of transistors are hard to get - best to buy the kit from Jim's audio on ebay in that case.
@@somspaple sorry I use google translate to english, so i see there is missunderstanding. I mean can you pls provide me all 8 transistors number that you use. Thanks alot.
@@eeettt184 I've used the components from this kit: jimsaudio.com/hiraga-super-30w-class-a-w-current-source-kubota-reg-partial-assembled-kit/ Here is a list: 2SA872A or 2SA970 2SC1775A or 2SC2240 MJE15032 or MJE15034 MJE15033 or MJE15035 NPN NJW3281 or similar PNP NJW1302 or similar later changed the output transistors to locally available ones as mentioned before..
Please share buying link of this same watch
Can i ask how big your wrists are? Im looking at buying this have 7 inch wrist
You should be good with 7 inch wrist. I wear it regularly with 6 1/4 inch wrist
Was the audio recorded from the speakers? If yes, what equipment did you use. Thanks.
Yes, audio was played through speaker and recorded on my mobile phone.
Wearing the pilot and watching ur review rn... amazing man
This watch is no more available on hmt.in any reliable source where I can buy this watch?
It is kinda difficult to get specific models from hmt. Sometimes it might come back in stock. If you are from Bangalore you can try your luck at HMT showrooms or check out those hmt FB groups for used ones.

Brother where you from brought that watch straps
Just found my grand dads orignal HMT jubliee very excited to know about it
Thanks for your outstanding diy painting. Saw ur thread on tbhp too. I was in search of reviews of com paint after ordering the same for Rapid which is candy white for correcting minor scratches in and around. Ordered plastic primer and 1k primer surfacer from samurai . As per your suggestions, I'm planning to order 2k clear coat also from samurai . Several reviews says that the com paint is made up of sub standard components. So better sandwich the paint layer in between good quality surfacer and clear coat so that it may last . I have a doubt. Is there any color fading for your car at the touch up area? Because some reviews says that after few months , the com paint is getting fade. Thanks for your time.
YW! I wouldn't suggested sandwiching clear coat and base coat! I suspect the issue is with clear coat of Com paint. If you use 2K clear coat on top of Com paint base coat it should be fine. Just use 3 or more layers of base coat. In my case, yes clear coat has turned dull and I've not been able to spray the surface with 2k clear coat owing to paucity of time and lack of clear workspace.
@@somspaple Thanks for reply. I'm planning to buy 2k clear . Reviews tells that if used properly , it will give close to factory finish. Anyway not using com merge as almost all the users are having negative review over it. Planning to do after the rains get ceased . Now it's heavy rain lashing over kerala. 2k may need few days to dry. Which are the grades sand papers that I need to keep, just the ones with com paint kit plus what u were mentioning in the video ? And any suggestions based on ur experience?
@@jinurajkr I would suggest start with 2000 grit for final finish and can go upto 3000 grit if you can source. For surface prep before painting your requirements might vary from 400 to 1000 grit dependent on the surface. And yes it's best to wait for rains to subside - however 2k is supposed to dry quick. All the best!
@@somspaple Thanks mate.. will definitely follow. Will source Emery upto 3000.
Where did you get that metal strap bro
Nice! Where did you buy this from?
Got it through a friend from US
Bro if you see this comment please replay Is the glass material of the watch mineral or acrylic? If you have any doubt on this, please tap gently your nails on the glass and you will definitely understand by the sound Acrylic sounds like plastic
It is acrylic.
@@somspaple Thankyou🥰🥰
How big in diameter in inches are these nice sounding speakers? Greetings 🌹 from my humble country 💝 the Philippines.
Greetings! Philippines is a beautiful country! Driver is roughly 3 inch by 2 inch rectangular in shape.
@@somspaple I will do what you did. I have a 16 ohm almost 5 inches full range with a Diatone logo. It is only 10 watts but if I copy your board, I think these little babies will sing. Thank you for your reply.
@@joeysarmiento1925 If you want to experiment try the 'The Edge' app. It is free - www.tolvan.com/edge/help.htm . You can provide driver and baffle parameters and it will give you a calculated spot for mounting your drivers. All the best. And don't forget to post a video of how it sounds!
@@somspaple Thank you ❣️ for your kind words about my country yet we missed out on a good leader. I will read the link you shared with me. The white material before the metal frame measured 4¾ inches or just two lines under the shade of 5 inches.
Nice
do you have to build it your self?
Yes, I did.. of course (pcb was designed by somebody else)
Hey how long did you wait for it to be available?
There is no set time - it'll be randomly back in stock and will go out of stock in a jiffy. Keep an eye out on website or join the hmt group on fb - folks there keep posting on website udpates.
