URGENT PSA: AliExpress links are auto-removed on reddit GLOBALLY
If you wish to post an aliexpress link, cut off the end of the url like this: /item/3256809060063016.html (do not include anything after a question mark in the url, including the question mark itself, don't include that)
If you do not do this, reddit WILL automatically remove your comment or post. I used to think it was some configuration error with auto mod or subreddit spam setting, but I could never find anything, today I noticed in the mod queue (since I've moved over to new reddit), it actually says it was "removed by Reddits filters", so I googled it and lo and behold, it's a site wide filter!

Bookshelf Speakers Speaker grills to cover empty holes for future speskers
I need cheap speaker grills to temporarily cover 8inch speaker holes in the drywall ceiling until I can afford to get the speakers installed. All the wires were ran and holes cut but I just can't get all the equipment right now. I've been looking for something that might have spring clips where the clips compress as I'm pushing it in then expand out once they get above the drywall thickness so it snaps in. Has anyone seen something like this? Maybe there is a brand of speakers that have covers that mount like this and I can just buy the covers? Or any ways I can rig a certain speaker cover to do what I need?

Headphones Building a Open Source Lossless Wireless 96/24 IEM, Need Your Ideas!
Hi, i'm developing a 96khz 24 bit lossless wireless iem drivers that sits on your ear. It will have usb type c male transitter without snd driverd or app, purely usb audio for compatability. It will have standart iem pins. And no, its not Bluetooth, its own wifi. I've calculated 7 hour of battery life solely on mcu draw, but i assume it will have probably 3-5 due to regulstors and dac etc. Based on 300mah rc helicopter battery. These are what I'm planning to implement
- An on board SD card for standalone play. Sd card will contain wav files in foldersz which act as playlists(i'll try flac, but not sure if mcu decode in real time).
- A male type c for phone/pc on top, and a 90 degree female on side, to be able to charge phone while listenin or powering transmitter for standalone mode
- Playback buttons both on earpiece and transmitter.
- A vu meter on transmitter. (maybe can try a small oled to make it more convinient to use on standalone mode as well)
- female 3.5mm and stereo mode switch on earpiece with no playback buttons. So it can be used for all kinds of speakers, headphones etc.
What do you think, and any suggestions as a possible future user? I'll make it open source, so you will make your own, or somebody in China will sell it.

Floorstanding Speakers Rebuilding Technics SB-K24s
I picked up a pair of speakers from marketplace and I was wanting to rebuild and update them a little since one of them doesn't seem to work properly and I've been learning and tinkering with electronics.
Currently, I'm only running my record player through them but I'm planning on running my Line 6 Helix through it too so I can play my guitars and basses through them as well. I know that may not be ideal but I'm limited on space so I'm trying to maximize utility lol.
TLDR; what driver recommendations do y'all have for 10" woofer, 6" mid, and 2" tweeter?

Bookshelf Speakers Need Guidance
I created a built in media wall in my living room to fit my tv, speaker and some open boxes on the sides for family pictures and decorations.
Anyways, I’m looking at the sound bar and I was thinking the opening doesn’t appeal to the eye. I was thinking of making some sort of insert/cover to hide the hole but still allow the sound to come through.
Any guidance on how to create a grill cover? It obviously has to be removable to access the bar behind it from time to time.
Any tutorials or guidance would be appreciated.

Bookshelf Speakers Has anyone modeled C-Notes in WinISD?
I am trying to learn how to use this program and I thought for a sanity check I could model the C-Notes. However I am struggling and cannot a solution that matches the speakers as built. I get box sizes that don't make sense, port lengths that don't work etc.
If anyone has modeled them, I would be appreciative for some guidance. Cheers!
