Used Saris H3 for $200 or new Wahoo Kickr Core 2?

Hello,

I'm new to the idea of an indoor bike trainer but I'm excited to give it a shot. I found a used Saris on Facebook for $200 and I was wondering if it's worth starting with that, or if I'm going to end up wanting to get the Wahoo anyways. What would you do?

Has anyone attempted to fix their Sonos product?

Hello, my Sonos Arc has a flashing white light and support suggested that it's failing to boot after basic troubleshooting.They offered a 30% discount but I likely will not buy another Sonos product.

I'm wondering if anyone has torn one of these open and managed to figure out what's causing the issue?

[USA-TN] [H] Local cash, Paypal [W] Broken Handheld Consoles (steam deck, ROG ally, etc.)

Hello,

I am practicing electronics repair and am currently looking for broken handheld consoles like the steam deck. I would prefer for the external case to be in good shape, but not required. Let me know what you've got.

First real chair. Is the Libernovo SE the best bang for the buck right now?

Hello,

I've been following the Libernovo launch of the SE and was intrigued. I spend a lot of my day in a chair and I think it's time to give up my $50 chair.

Could I do better for $570?

I also have a deposit on the Lavenne R9 which will be $600. This one seems more feature rich, but I like that the Omni SE isn't Libernovo's first chair.

What do you all think?

Would it be silly to ask for a sticky thread for Rivian R2 vin numbers?

Supposedly they're up to 1900 now. I think a sticky thread where people can post their number would be nice so that we can see how many have been delivered?

Doesn't the $10 deposit come with a free gift as well?

Hello,

​

I haven't seen anyone mention this, but I know that I saw a free gift was included with the warranty extension for the deposit as well.

​

Does anyone know anything about this?

First DIY Speaker Project

Mind the loose cables on the speaker, messy desk, and phone recording.

This is my first DIY Speaker project. It took me about two ish months from first thought to today, a 3D printed speaker running off of Moode player on a raspberry pi. Two months ago I didn't even know what a crossover was, and I had no idea what I was getting myself into.

It has two Dayton Audio RS100P-8 woofers, a single Dayton Audio RST28F tweeter, and two Dayton Audio DSA115 passive radiators. It has a MeanWell power supply and a JAB5 amp.

Looking back, I wish I chose larger woofers for more boomier bass (peep the JBL in the back) but otherwise I am very pleased with how this sounds.

It's not finished, as I need to add media controls and tidy up the wiring and such but it's at a playable state.

I'll post pictures in the comments. It doesn't let me double up with the video.

How to get more punchy bass?

Hello,

Forgive any wrong terminology or ignorance, I'm new and this is my first speaker. I never even thought about speakers in this context a month ago, so I'm still learning.

I made a 3d printed speaker, with two RS100P-8 woofers, a RST28F-4 tweeter, and two DSA115-PR 4" passive radiators. They're powered with a JAB5 amp. The speaker compartment is about 6.5 liters. I have not stuffed it yet, but I have polyfill on hand. I also have a cheap Dayton audio iMM-6 measure microphone, but have yet to try it out.

I can tell it gets low, and in SigmaStudio I have a high pass to the woofers at 45hz and it sounds fine.

I want it to "fill the room" with a little bit more bass. Is this physically possible with my setup? Or is every change I make, whether stuffing it, adding weights to the PR (haven't touched them yet), or playing around in SigmaStudio chasing something I can't get?

Thanks all. Any advice is appreciated.

Note: it is not complete. In the photo, the speaker is upside down since I don't have legs for it yet. The PRs will face downward.

Edit: I'm very pleased with the way it sounds. It is very clear and sounds nice. I just want it to hit harder, if that makes sense.

Very late edit 2: turns out I have two unsealed holes (used to mount a handle) that I forgot about. I wonder how much this affected the bass.

I'd test it but I just broke the slave/master switch on the amp and currently can't play it anymore.

Could someone help me identify this particular SMD diode?

Hello,

This diode is off of one of two button control boards on a power recliner.

On the other board, this diode is popped and I believe it is the cause for it to have quit working.

Is it as simple as looking up "t4 smd diode"?

Long shot, but does anyone have a arts car or parts dash harness? I'm looking for a single connector.

Edit: parts car*

Hello,

I'm looking for the pigtail connector that connects to the back of the dash clock. If anyone has one, or can help me locate one I'd be grateful.

It's for a 2015-2018 RC. I believe the same gen IS works as well.

Hello,

The past week or two I've noticed that my pixel phone is constantly disconnecting from Verizon, but reconnecting seconds later. It does this often, probably several times an hour and sometimes three or four times back to back.

My phone is up to date and I've tried restarting the phone. Is anyone else experiencing something like this?

▲ 1 r/diysound+1 crossposts

Hello,

I jumped headfirst into DIY speakers and decided to design a 3d printed enclosure to house two 4" woofers and a 1 1/8" tweeter.

The design is not finalized, but I am getting close. My todo list is:

  • Finalize mounting for drivers
  • Internal ribbing/bracing
  • Media controls, probably on the top somewhere
  • Small touches, like handle and feet.

The speaker compartment is separate from the electronics part. Does anyone know of a good way to pass the wires from the amp into the drivers while keeping it airtight? Ideally I'd find some sort of panel connector, but I haven't had much luck. The rear of the speaker compartment is open, and the front of the electronics part is what will seal the speaker box. I will use a TPU gasket to keep it airtight. The internal volume of the speaker compartment is ~6.7 liters, not counting the space that the ribbing and drivers will occupy.

The big pink box is the power supply (MeanWell LRS-200-24), the yellow box is the JAB5 amp, and the small pink box is the raspberry pi.

My questions are:

  • What would you change?
  • How much ribbing do I really need? Just enough to make it strong/rigid? I heard that it might matter how I align them, do I need to be cautious of this?
  • Does anyone have experience 3D printing enclosures? I'd like to use PETG. Maybe PLA is fine, as I will likely sand and paint this.
  • I was just going to add a vent in the electronics compartment, since the PSU supposedly doesn't need anything else. Would it be weird to add one of those tiny fans into a speaker?

This is my first design, and I only started digging into the world of DIY speakers like two weeks ago. Any advice is welcome, and thank you all in advanced.

Hello,

For my first DIY project, I have chosen this particular amplifier board.

Because of the long ship times, tariffs, and shipping costs, I figured I'd come here first and see if anyone had one for sale. I am located in the US.

I apologize if this is not allowed, I did not see it in the rules and the swap subreddit is dead.

Thanks all.
