Love Vintage Speakers? Meet the Pit Vipers.

Welcome back to Hoosier Hi-Fi! Today, we’re tackling a massively fun DIY project: Paul Carmody’s Pit Vipers. These unapologetic 3-way "monkey coffins" capture the soul of those classic 1970s and 80s vintage boxes, but pair it with modern imaging and soundstage depth. In this video, we go from inception to completion—covering the design goals, driver selection, crossovers, and my full cabinet construction featuring a double front baffle, custom PVC ports, and a custom blue marble finish. Stick around until the end for a sound demo where we hook these beasts up to a restored 1970s Sony receiver, spin some classic jazz on vinyl. ⏱️ CHAPTERS: 0:00 - Introduction to the Pit Vipers 2:09 - History, Design Goals & Driver Selection 5:57 - Paul Carmody's Website Walkthrough 9:47 - Where to Source Drivers & Crossover Parts 11:06 - Building My Personal Pair (Cabinet Construction & Custom Finish) 19:30 - Community Spotlight: Tech Talk Forum Inspiration 20:04 - Project Wrap-Up 20:45 - Vintage Sound Demo (Classic Jazz on Vinyl) 24:18 - Final Thoughts & Outro PROJECT LINKS & RESOURCES: Paul's Website (Pit Vipers) - https://sites.google.com/site/undefin...
