    Paul Carmody Sprite Build - Carbon Fiber and Blue LED's

    Paul Carmody Sprite Build - Carbon Fiber and Blue LED's
    I'm in the process of building some Sprite speakers that were designed by Paul Carmody. I am planning to make them full Carbon Fiber, plexiglass and some blue LED's. So far, I am really pleased with the progress. The goal is for these to be built into a racing simulator I am building. I plan to continue to update this with pictures as I go along and I will have a full video build log as well as a video review on my YouTube channel when I finish. Here are a few photos of the first one which is almost complete.

    Cool. I use carbon fiber professionally for structural concrete repairs. I've often contemplated using it for speakers. Can you provide some material sources and overall costs for the carbon fiber on your project.

      I should have been a little more specific. This is actually just a carbon fiber vinyl wrap. I picked up the vinyl wrap of Amazon. It's Vivvid XP Pro. I ended up buying the trunk kit (5ft by 5ft) as I plan to use more of it on my racing arcade. Although, I often just get my vinyl wrap directly from aliexpress. It is quite a bit cheaper (but I was in a rush to get this done).

        I finally finished them! Well in all honesty, I finished them about a week ago, but my editing software didn't want to comply. I went ahead and made a video so you can see exactly how I made it. Please ask if you have any questions, either here or youtube. hopefully this will be helpful to you guys.

        By the way, I love the speakers! They are amazing!!!
