Hi SE-nse people!

I just finished pimpin' up my hardware and I just want to show you my newly modded K750.
Also some few pointers on how I did it!

This complements QWERTY's and ToShaRa's and all acoustic tweaks!

What I did is, I bought a K750 loud speaker, I remove the microphone, grind the plastic around the speaker to make it smaller in size. I cut off one wire from a cheap earphone speaker and I used it to connect the internal loud speaker to the external (extra) loud speaker. Soldered one end of earphone wire (+/-) to the internal loud speaker springs (the springs that touches the mainboard). Find away to insert the thin wire beside the camera lens, inserted it through the back cover and soldered the other end of the wire to the extra loud speaker. I used an adhesive glue (loctite 495) to attach the speaker firmly to the back cover. As of now, I'm still thinking of something to cover the extra loud speaker so it will look a little bit better.

I'm not encouraging you to do the same thing to your phone (unless your crazy like me!). Just wanted to show my work.

What benifit did I get?

Of course, louder music, plus ToShara's acoustic v.1 (very loud!!!) or QWERTY's super loud V.2 (for more balanced sound). Radio listening is superb! with my "Sound Trippin' While Charging!" mod, no worries with my battery! That's all folks! Pump up the volume!!!

Nice smile.gif. Although you should try painting it black tongue.gif

You should try SmellULaterś final acoustic pack. That has been the loudest that has ever been on my phone laugh.gif
eyeyousee
Thank you QWERTY! smile.gif
I've been thinking of some kind of a speaker grill or screen. but I will try to paint it black anyway.
I still have to download SmellUlater's. byebye.gif

Nice work! Of course I would think a better idea would be to attach a female 3.5mm jack to the casing instead tongue.gif That way you can have proper speakers hooked up to it. Maybe a little switch too, 3 options.
1. Loudspeaker
2. Loudspeaker and 3.5mm jack
3. 3.5mm jack

@Rekoil

By using your method, what is the different between using SE Portable Speakers MPS-70 or older model?
Rekoil
I haven't done it to mine, I was speaking theoretically.

Thank you for your suggestions. Yes it would be nice if I use a 3.5 jack, but the problem is, I don't have enough space to put or hide the 3.5mm jack inside the housing. I was thinking of a detachable connector, but I need the loud speaker attached to the phone so I can bring it every where I go! I'll think of some other options!

Thanks mates! smile.gif

Nirodha

It's very easy! only need some soldering skills! about the acoustic driver, you'll need Far manager go to FS/ifs/settings/acoustic - replace all the files with your new tweaked files, you can find some tips in Customizing Firmwares forum - Loudest Acoustics. smile.gif

do you think that this would work with just a normal speaker?

oh and i found out how to install acoustic drivers smile.gif

No it won't work. I just test using speaker from HP Notebook. I bearly can hear the sound, unless I put near to my ear. You must found a correct speaker wattage and resistance for it to works.

If you talking about a normal radio speaker, it far than works.

Nordingh is correct! we don't want to overload the audio parts on the mainboard and drain out our battery so quick!
The speaker I used was a spare K750 speaker. so, it has the same specifications.
Brookie353
ok i was just wonderin seeing as i have a few lying around

any way thanks!

You can just plug it into an amplified speaker (like the desktop speakers) with the use of HMP-70 if you want really loud!

laugh.gif good one.... although it doesnt look all that good...but, it will pump up the volume alright...

You think this is English class. Go away. angry.gif

Just type what ever you want here, as long as there is someone understand it, enough already. I also not so fluent in English. What I do is, subscribe to a few Tech magazine, read it. I have done this for more than 6 years, it works.

hey there's no need to tell him to go away!!! All he said was 1. the mod is great, and 2. that it looks bad. True. He wasn't being critical just offering an opinion.

Matt dude, welcome to SE-NSE, please stick around buddy thumbsup.gif

@eyeyousee, top mod buddy, very impressive!
nordingh
I just joking mate. Did I told him to type what ever he want as long as someone understand after I ask him to go away????? tongue.gif

Everyone here are greats. That why I stick to this forum now.

Yeah man, I know what you mean. One advice, when you make your mod, think of something dettachable.
That is one thing I missed when I made this mod. But I will remodify it one of these days, after I'll find a good connector! And maybe a dettachable loud speaker in different colors! lol.gif

Yer mate!! lol.gif
eyeyousee
you can try and use it, but i'm not sure if it will sound in full stereo! since, 3510 is a polyphonic phone. you would probably get more treble than bass or vise versa!
