Bass Speaker vs. Premium Speaker

[hapki]

I found a board at Adafruit that takes one input and modulates the sound to create (or simulate) stereo sound. I don't know if it is really stereo, but it does make the sound more dynamic. I use one 28 mm speaker and one 3 watt speaker I tore off an old macbook. The board requires 3.7 v, which can run from the PC, CF, etc.

Has anyone tried to wire two speakers in parallel or series? 2x16ohm speakers would be 8ohm in parallel; and 2x4 in series would be 8ohm. the board should handle it right?

yes I have and I might have had good luck with it unlike the others that had tried it but it sounded great! used 1 premium and one bass. using them in parallel gave a 4 ohm load which will also get max power from the amp.

Thanks for the video. Awesome sabers.

Your results are by far better than what I got. I should note that my attempt was with 2 laptop speakers and a Nano.

it took a lot of work and took even more space. the cc/speaker module is made up of essentially 4 speaker holders welded together and was also the switch cradle.

great job! I wonder if stacking (or lining) the speakers (bass in the back and premium in front) will make for a good sound as well?
I see that the new amazon echo is designed similarly (1 bass 1 mid/high range speaker) and it sounds great...maybe just make a saber out of an amazon echo then...lol

cram fu experts anyone?

The inside of a MHS part is 1.25" at most. That device, though cool looking, is over 2".

I think he was just looking at it from a design standpoint, not that he wanted to put the Amazon Echo module inside of his saber.

I've never heard of anyone doing that in a saber. I've seen a few sabers with 2 speakers though. Give it a shot and tell us how it works out for you.
