In this post, I have shown how to build a ported or vented 1.1 speaker box which
has one 4 ohm tweeter, one 4 inches 4-ohm woofer with DIY 20-watt amplifier with
bass/woofer & volume control.

You can check the video for the construction
Theory
The main component of the speaker box is its amplifier. The amplifier is built using
the IC TDA2005 which gives an output around 20 watts. The power to the amplifier
is supplied using the transformer & regulated using the IC LM338. The
amplifier is designed in such a way that it can also accept input from an external
amplifier. The amplifier also has the option of controlling the bass or volume using
the two potentiometers.

Now coming to the speaker box, the speaker box is built using the MDF sheets.

Making
You can create the circuit on a perf board or order a professional PCB board by
downloading the Gerber file shared at the bottom of the page. I recommend using
a professional board so you can avoid unwanted noise in the output. The Gerber file
shared was created using KiCad software which is one of the recommended CAD
software by the fabricator that I am using. The fabricator that I am using is

PCB board for a very cheap price. After you receive the board assemble the board
as shown in the video.

Once the board is assembled connect all the connectors which are necessary like
RCA Jacks, switch.
RCA Jacks, switch.
Once all the assembly is done, the first thing you need to adjust is the input
voltage. The input voltage should be around 12.5 to 14.5v. To adjust the voltage
connect two wires to the Vtp (voltage test point) on the amplifier board &
then connect the wires to the multimeter & adjust the voltage using the
trimmer RV1.

How to connect this speaker to an external amplifier
While connecting to an external amplifier make sure your speaker is not connected
to the power. The power required by the speaker is provided by the amplifier so we
do not need the speaker to be connected to the power. Now coming to the
connection, connect the output of the amplifier to the RCA Jack which says Amp
In/T Out (Amplifier In/Tweeter Out) & Amp In/SW Out (Amplifier
In/SubWoofer Out). Make sure the output of the amplifier is not too much the
speaker & woofer your using. Always check the output watts of your amplifier
before connecting it to the speaker.
