Guys, I want to share with you what I accomplished today and so far very satisfied.

1. You need 2 speakers and woofer from MacBook Pro 13 2010 (other model may feet as well)

After research I can confirm that any speakers with 4-8 ohm resistance will work.
So basically everything what can fit inside with mentioned above resistance will work.


2. Solder everything as it shown on the pictures (left side, counting from top +/-, right side mirroring -/+)

3. Don't expect miracle from default PSV default audio amplifier.
I did my research installing custom audio amplifier

And that was something!!! Power of sound stronger minimum 2 times and the quality much higher. But not easy to DIY for everyone

But still possible!!

If you are interested?? - I can explain How-To

Best possible way with original audio amplifier

But this will be MONO, cause to connect WOOFER without separate channel you need to take "-" from one channel and "+" from other one. Witch will close the loop and cancel STEREO affect.

But if you remove one MacBooks speaker and connect woofer instead you will have stereo affect.
In this case it will look for example:

Left side original PSV speaker + MacBooks speaker

Right side original PSV speaker + MacBooks Woofer

Follow pictures and enjoy

You might want to build a shroud around the second fan, otherwise you're not fully benefitting from the centrifuge effect. If you don't have thin alu, cans or epoxy putty are good substitutes. You could also connect both fans to PWM, either directly or via a TIP120/a MOSFET.

I connected both fans to main fan ^^ when temp go up main fan controlled by pwm rise voltage(rpm) this two fans also received same higher voltage because they are connected only + and -
About spacer(separator) I am agree, it's already done.
Temps 9-10 degrees down as expected)))
Thank you for good advice))

Thanks for the explanation !

Can you post a pitcure detailling which part of the vita specifically gets soldered where on the amp, and where does it gets soldered on the vita ? cause as a noob, i have a hard time knowing what to do here, for example i dont know where to solder the subwoofer or even where to connect everything on the vita

also, when you talk about sound filteringm how do you achieve that ? is it done software wise ?

thanks !

Really great job idk how you got that to fit I put a small laptop fan in mine and had a hard time being able to screw it in. Even shaved the blades to size. I really want a custom front and back to make it a little bit bigger I would love to add your mod to mine as well! I used a different fan than the one I pictured cause I broke that one found in a acer aspire one.

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.
