How do some of you put the tubes down through smaller canals? I know some people stop the tubes short of the exit and bore a hole for the sound to escape. (Not sure how to even do this method and get the tubes the exact distance from the exit on each monitor). I had a broken pair of westones...

Hey Guys. I’ve only ever built things like the Knowles HE, GK, GV, etc. never done anything more elaborate. I was wanting to try the Bellsing 6 with zobel. I’ve seen some of the diagrams on how to wire it and I think I understand. But could someone verify the values of capacitor and resistor...

Hey Guys! Is there a way to connect a GV and a GQ (or something like a GQ) without any additional crossover stuff besides what’s already on each one already? If so, how would you hook them up? Just parallel? Or reverse polarity? I’ve read that sometimes the speakers can cancel each other out if...

Have any of you guys experimented with make silicone shells? I've read some pros and cons. Lots of people like the comfort but wasn't sure if any of you had successfully made any? Thanks!

Also, what tools do you guys use to sand/buff in the tiny places on the iem? I always use a shiny laquer but I'm wanting to buff one to shininess but I'm not sure how to get in those tiny places to effectively sand or buff. Thanks!

Any of you guys ever done a 6 driver setup that you really like? If so, which speakers did you use? And maybe some cap and resistor values? Just looking into experimenting on a 6 driver for myself.

Hey guys, I made a pair of quads for a friend of mine a couple months back (Knowles GV) and he told me yesterday that he thinks his left ear is going out. But the way he described it I don't think it's losing connection and just stopping altogether. He said he thinks it is gradually getting...

Here's a picture of what I did with mine. No sanding or anything. Got the sample and dipped the top half in resin let the excess drip off, uv cure, then put a thin layer of Egger LP/H Lack, uv cure. Obviously there is some loss in detail when it comes to the "interior portion of the sample" but...

I've been looking at getting a Form2 as well. I requested a free sample from them and there are indeed print lines but it could be sanded down. I simply put a thin layer of Fotoplast on the inside and outside of the sample and it cleared it up pretty nicely. (I'm sure it would be even better...

Does anyone know of a good link where I could learn to wire in capacitors and resistors, etc? I understand some of it but I don't know how to wire them in series and then do I wire multiple speakers together in parallel? Lol. I'm totally lost. I would just like a nice simple build that went into...

I had an extra GV and GQ at the house and was thinking about putting them together to see what kind of sound would be produced. I was thinking about doing it in parallel but then I didn't know if that would have an effect on the crossover on each set of speakers. Would wiring them in series be...

I know this is off current topic (sorry). Im currently trying to make a clear shell. When I take the shell out of the investment I put it in glycerin, put it under the uv light, then put it in alcohol. Take it out and do all my sanding, then it goes back in alcohol. Dry the alcohol up with a...

Jeez, I swear every time you make a new pair it just makes me so jealous of your skill. I'm still just messing around with GK's and GV's. Haven't worked up the courage to try wiring my own design. Question off topic (and I apologize if you've cover this in a previous post), how do you make...

Awesome! Thanks for the info. I haven't told him whether or not I would even work on them. I wasn't sure if I would even want to. Alclair was just gonna charge him a little bit since he waited past the time limit so he was just looking at options. Thanks again for the input!

A friend of mine has a pair of iems from Alclair and his right iem is a bit loose and he is already past the 30 day re-fit time limit. He was wondering if I could add something to it to build it up and I was wondering if you guys would just use something like lack 3 to add some buildup? Also...

Hey guys, have any of you ever experimented with high gloss liquid acrylic for a final coat of shine instead of using a uv lacquer? I always seem to have issues with uv curing lacquers. So I tried some acrylic spray from a spray can on a pair of iems that I don't really care for and it worked...

I know this off the current topic but wondering what you guys prefer to use between mmcx and 2-pin. I wish I could find a place to get 4 pin connectors like JH :weary: But I've made iems with both 2-pin and mmcx. On one pair my pins got bent but I still made them work with no sound issues. Had...

Hey guys, I was going to try to make some kind of hybrid iem with a balanced armature and a dynamic. Problem is...I can't seem to find dynamic speakers to buy in the states. I've ordered some from aliexpress and they aren't here yet. Just wondering if anyone has gotten any from here in the...

Why would you want to take them out of the tube once they are in? And the dampers were definitely a bit on the looser side going in (compared to the metal ones) so its probably not creating a perfect seal but I figured if the damper was in there at all then it would have to block some of those...

I used those dampers in my last build cause I had to run smaller tubing (#16) for the CI cause I couldn't get two #13 tubes down the canal. I had some small diameter (but fairly stiff) copper wire around the house. So I cut a piece off and made a mark at 7mm so I'd know when to stop pushing the...

I would definitely be interested in the tutorial. All of your info has been SUPER helpful! In the past I've gotten lac 3 all over the iem and it all looked great and even and then when I put it under the UV light there are these little hard parts that stick up sometimes in the hardening process...

How do you get both tubes down into a universal canal that is so small?

I am thinking of putting together a 5 driver setup of a HODVTEC + ED + SWFK. With the ED being pretty good at mids and the SWFK having good extension (from what I've read. Never actually used an ED or SWFK). I was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to what resistors and capacitor values might...
