hello today i'm going to show you how to wire up a super easy
internal blu to set up a lot of really easy
external bluetooth options that will be able to just plug right into your
powered speaker and have bluetooth that way
so stuff like this this is a little battery powered external bluetooth setup
amazon also sells a pretty nifty little bluetooth box new tooth and it's
relatively cheap but again its external
you gotta have it outside and it is it's it's better to have it in and it's just
better to do it yourself we wired up it's awesome
so if you happen to have seen my last video i put out build plants for my
phone speaker which is my small little powered speaker and you can find those
here on my website
this is going to be a perfect accessory to that big so you'll be able to have
plans for the powered speaker and then put this bluetooth system inside that
speaker also have plans for how this bluetooth system fits together with
other components and all the wires you need and everything
stick around to the end of the video and i'll tell you how to get those right so
I'm gonna I'm gonna go down now go sit down
all right so here's the goods
we have our audio amp this one is made by dayton audio
it's a tea amp tripath it's a two channel 15 watt per channel plenty of
power to to power your parents bicker
it's a really good amp it it sounds really good i use it on most of my
powered speaker builds the best part about it is it comes in a little kit and
the kit comes with your volume pot with on/off connection for the volume pot a
bunch of wires capacitors for protecting your speakers from the digital amplifier
that it comes with a lot of the stuff that you need to build a power amp so
it's great to just get it all all and
one box we're going to be using a 3.5 millimeter audio cable we have our AC
power adapter
this is a 12 volt two amp power adapter and then of course our Bluetooth board
so the board is made by sure it's Bluetooth 4.0 and it sounds really good
it's made for bluetooth audio which helps get a closer look and that's nice
little thing and it's 12 volts
both are amp and our Bluetooth module or both run off 12 volts which is important
we'll talk about that later
also be using this power cable with a barrel connector on the end
that's going to make the set up a little easier
so what I'm doing today and what you should be doing if you are going to be
using this in a powered speaker build is just connecting everything
powering it up and making sure it works so what we're doing with that is making
sure all the components work
we're also making sure all wiring is correct it's really easy do you know put
a wire in the wrong place and then it doesn't work and if it's all soldered up
that's it's much more difficult problem shoot
so this cable is just going to make it easier for us to connect the bluetooth
module to the power amp but once you do this for real
you're probably gonna want to solder the wires power wires between the bluetooth
module and the power and those wires actually come in the amp kit which is
great because this can also run off of the 12 volts wall adapter as well as a a
battery input and for like a portable rechargeable speaker which is great
ok so little warning if you don't know about the dangers of electricity
you should just pause this video right now click up in the search field type in
electricity safety and learn up
it can be dangerous when we're just putting it together before you plug in
this guy
it's not a big deal but as soon as that guy gets plugged in the wall and
electricity goes through this
it can be really dangerous so don't anywhere your heart yeah other than that
let's get started so how it's going to work
when you have it in your speaker is you would have something like this
this will be connected to the outside of your speaker connecting to your
Bluetooth board
let's put it this way so the power will be coming from your AC adapter into this
into your Bluetooth board now your Bluetooth board and your audio board or
both run off of 12 volts so you'll be able to chain them and run them up the
same adapter so power goes into the bluetooth bored out of the blue tooth
bored into the audio amp and that's how both get powered so your audio chain
goes into the bluetooth bored through the air out of the blue tooth bored
through your 3.5 millimeter audio cable into your audio bored out of your audio
board into speaker now for the purposes of testing it and since we're not gonna
be soldering we're going to try to make this as easy as possible
so since this bluetooth board has both screw inputs for the power and a barrel
input
we're going to use the barrel for the in for the power and then these screws as
an output for the audio board and so that we don't have to solder wires is
normally you'd use it you just use these wires to go from the power of the
bluetooth bored into the battery input power of the audio board
we're just going to use this power cable with a barrel and to go out of the blue
tooth board and into the barrel power input of the audio board for the first
thing we do is why are the power from
the bluetooth bored into the audio import
next I'm going to connect the volume part to the audio board
yeah
now the audio cable from the bluetooth for me that's the audio out into the
audio in the vamp and then the audio out of the amp which is on the side of the
amp right here and I'm just going to place these in those holes not going to
solder them because i want to be able to start of them up later and i have a mess
of having solder already there so I'm just going to stick them in here and
then just the gravity of having them pain should hold them against the sides
and then the speaker
yeah
pretty good ok that was the fun part
let's test it here we go
all right we got an LED blinking on the Bluetooth module that means we're
getting power to that I can hear the speaker crackle a little bit so that
means we're getting power to the audio amp think this might work alright so I'm
going to connect to the bluetooth module we'll see what happens
you guys listen to stuff you should know the podcast i do how radiation sickness
works
alright see if this works but for the most part what you get higher and higher
along the receiver to Yale
it does become kind of absolute as far as human mortality is concerned yeah all
right
success is powered down
so obviously if you were to wire this up into say my phone speaker build this
isn't exactly how you would wire it
you need something like this which is a power input that goes on the outside of
the speaker that would be wired into the bluetooth module and then the rest would
be pretty much the same so that wasn't too bad right
it's really not all that difficult it's a pretty simple a wire up job and using
these components components makes it real simple
you know the since they're both 12 volts
you don't have to worry about you know voltage reduction is getting it down to
you know something like five volts and you can just powered off the same same
AC adapter it's this is the way to go this is a good
this is a good better way to do it I'm so i will have build plans on my website
savage audio . com head over there they'll be up in the next few days
you can also click this link will put a link up right here and like i said
before if you downloaded my free fun plans if you're one of the lucky ones
that got that this is a perfect add-on
this will also be applicable to any speaker build you do
it's not just for the fun and yeah if you enjoyed this video this is a little
different than my normal videos
this kind of step by step talking over thing I don't know if I like it
hey I'm just not used to it I'm just not used to it I it's okay i want to make it
better but if you like to give me a thumbs up if the information helped you
give me a thumbs up
all right my card just filled up so i had to delete some stuff hopefully this
framing similar to what it was before
all right like I was saying if you haven't subscribed to my channel yet
please hit subscribe
I do build videos and audio tutorials
I build speakers and I and I post videos about building speakers it's it's one
you should check it out
yeah I hope this helps some people
and i'm gonna be putting this in a speaker will soon
new build video I'm excited
alright see you next time bye
oh shit show
