October 31, 2025 - A soundbar, sound bar or media bar is a type of loudspeaker that projects audio from a wide enclosure. It is much wider than it is tall, partly for acoustic reasons, and partly so it can be mounted above or below a display device (e.g. above a computer monitor or under a home theater or television ...

r/diyaudio on Reddit: DIY Soundbar Build – Need Help Choosing Drivers!
January 12, 2025 -
Hey fellow DIYers,
After the success of my “portable enough” boombox, I’ve decided to take on a new project—building a custom soundbar for my bedroom to replace the cheap Roku soundbar I’m currently using.
I need help selecting drivers, and I’m aiming to keep the cost at around $100 per driver, including the crossover. My initial thought was to go with coaxial drivers, but I’m having a hard time finding good options in this price range. Should I instead go for a full-range driver like the Tang Band W5-2143?
For the low end, I’ll be using the same 6.5” subwoofer and dual 6.5” passive radiators that I used in my last build. However, this time I have enough room to mount them on the front baffle, which should avoid the gravity-related issues I had when they were mounted on the top in my last build.
Would love to hear your thoughts, recommendations, or driver suggestions! Thanks in advance!

Unless having specific reasons not to, I would consider an amplifier with DSP. You can easily make a crossover around 200Hz and use much smaller fullrange drivers which will have better off axis response. You could even use the TEBM46 for example, these have high sensitivity for such a small woofer which makes it very capable even on limited amplifier power. Not pushing any bass towards a full range with a 4th order Linkwitz crossover lowers excursion and distortion enormously. I'm not familiar with your specific size constraints or goals, but a 6.5" woofer usually doesn't really fit a soundbar. You could investigate low profile subs (I think the Dayton should be decent) and use one or more upfiring and/or downfiring. Opposed woofers cancel vibrations which may be essential to avoid rattles depending on placement. A multitude of TCP115 woofers could also result in a sleek design, however depending on design may be a bit less capable on max output. Another advantage of DSP is that you can tune out some room issues and easily integrate baffle step compensation. Either active or passive, for best results a measurement microphone is key and you should design the crossover preferably after measuring the drivers in the cabinet. Edit: If sticking with the DCS165 (which should be very capable!) most DSP amps have 4 channels, I would trade in the 2 radiators for a 2nd woofer. This will increase sensitivity, decrease amp and woofer load per channel whilst keeping the same total displacement. Use the DSP to boost the 30-40Hz region. You could oppose them to avoid rattles and you'll have an integrated KC62.

As you know, it's a compromise, but I could see a wide soundbar with LCR across the front and a couple angled upfiring speakers (making the LR ends "Atmos Enabled") being a pretty impressive 3.0.2 (or 3.1.2 if you add a sub) solution that would run off an Atmos-capable AVR.

I want to make a Soundbar for my Bedroom and have some Questions regarding the Design. I want 2x 3" Fullrange (recomended Volume 1,98Liter) and 1x 1" Tweeter to put in the soundbar.
-
Do i need to add the recomended Volumes together so that the box has a 3,96Liter Volume or physically separate the Volumes?
-
When putting a Passive Radiator in do i need to match the Boxes Volume? Because some have a recomended volume and some don't.
-
Should i put 2 passive Radiator in because i have 2 Fullrange or is 1 enough.
