Reply to comment by [deleted] in LG Display’s ‘invisible’ speaker brings sound to any surface in your car by MicroSofty88

You seen the project where you use the pink foam board insulation and a basic Dayton transducer on it?

Kinda look dumb and it seems like you need the right room and space but apparently they stack up pretty well against a pretty expensive cabinets and have a pretty flat frequency response.

I watched a YT vid where a very skeptical dude built and tested them and he was very surprised in the results.

Not sure if it's the exact video the other guy was talking about but this guy and his other speaker videos come to mind.

I also skimmed. Pretty neat!

He does mention the need for a sub

I can definitely see the appeal of a large minimalist flat panel speaker. My girlfriend probably wouldn't let me put speakers in the living room, but these she would like design wise.

Could you not hang it like a picture frame, so the string is hidden behind?

He says they cost $30 to make

Yeah they're going to have to design and tune parts of the car. Honestly it doesn't seem great; seems more likely to rattle and have weird characteristics at different volumes.

I will say, however, than the 'speakers' on the surface pro are kind of crazy. Pretty much all portable devices these days use the device itself to resonate. Not sure who the first one to do it was, but I'm honestly kind of a shocked at how good the sound is on that device, when it's being driven by these little things.
