    I thought the bass part was badly distorted so I googled the original and it turns out the output of your speaker is exactly what the song sounds like. What I thought must have been distortion is the result of how the artist created the song. This was an excellent video showing what can be done with a solid design and made DIY. Nobody would have thought this possible only 20 years ago. Great job!

      @@mxz2024 How flat/even is the bass response on the Teufel? That's the biggest problem with such a small speaker. You can get a lot of bass with the right enclosure, sure, but there will be huge spikes and drops depending on the exact frequency. Ideally you'd want the response graph to show a perfectly flat line from 25hz up to 100hz, but with such a small cone amplified by such a crazy chamber it turns the graph into a bucking bronco.

      @@baronnashor158 The baffle is the face of the box that the driver is mounted in. The purpose of a box is to keep the sound waves from the back from destructively interfering with the sound coming off the front. A sealed box does this by damping the back wave, but it limits bass response since the sealed air chamber acts like a spring trying to resist movement of the driver.
      A long tube like this design allows the back wave to come out in phase with the front (at the tuning frequency) which then adds to the front sound wave, making for more bass. The tricky part is to get a broad enough tuning to avoid the huge peaks and valleys in the response which give that boomy one note bass sound.
      An infinite baffle is really just a giant wall that the speaker driver is mounted in. No box to add damping and limit excursion, and since it is 'infinite' the back wave will never come around the outside and interfere with the front wave. Nor wil it reflect off the inside of the enclosure and push on the cone. Infinite baffles sound amazing, but as you can probably guess are not even remotely affordable, or portable. It's what you do if you can afford to build a house around your stereo.

    For the bass that it handles, instead of JB welding smooth surfaces, I would use the middle 50% of all of the walls to make a tongue and groove. It will increase the area of the adhesion surface, and eliminate any air leaks you may get from separation on smooth surfaces.

    I remember like 15 years ago, when my brother an I built our own subwoofer enclosures with particle board and we had this 18" sub with a shallow deflection and I put it in the apartment I lived in during my apprenticeship. It was a bass horn and the low end rumble carried 6 stories down into the basement. It was like someone was running a asphalt steam roller through the building. The music wasn't even that lout but the tuning of the driver and the enclosure was bang on with the resonance frequency of the building. That was the first time we utilized a software to determine the dimensions we needed. MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE. You can't just slab together a box and hope it sounds good. You will always maximize the sound by using the displacement and range you want the driver to work in.
    Thanks for sharing, you woke a childhood memory I cherish a lot. Especially thinking of the people that came out on the streets, looking up and wondering what the rumble was...you couldn't actually trace the woofer very well at all, the building resonated THAT WELL with it. Think of a sub the size of a 8 story apartment block 100m long haha.
    Oh and the bass horn was the size of a dresser and weight in at 70kg, including the woofer.

    For a better seal you can always make a female/male sides so when you put them together they seal better. With some silicone in the slot around it should have a perfect seal, some screws for added rigidity and longer lifespan would be great as well to avoid the 2 pieces from separating. A

This is genius designed and makes those poor mass produced subwoofers feel inadequate, and cry with bass envy, and are in massive need for therapy to work through their inadequacy issues. Some of those mass produced guys turn to alcoholism, break down, and crack their speaker frames introducing a noticeable rattle that makes them feel even more inadequate until one day they end it all and burn up their voice coils.

On the other half, instead of a groove, you put in the opposite. This will work as a barrier and prevent leakage and allow you to use CA glue instead of the messy JB Weld.

    Should have explained what you thought it was equivalent to retail wise. Based on the binaural mic the bluetooth speaker sounds tiny, and the bass on the 3d print is impressive but distorted. Should have included a direct clip of the track for reference as well.

    Hey Hexibase. I started with an X, Y, Z axis that I imported into my PDQ program, which automatically converted into a .exe file.
    Then I opened the .exe in Google Assistant which prompted the FBI and CIA to merge as one file. Later I used an ISIS sweep generator to bring it up to DHS with a lot of RAM. I used the ctrl to shift the scrnlk, and saved it as a PDF. Later when I played the PDF, I discovered the FBI and CIA merged with the DHS and caused the PDQ to not communicate with ISIS, making the XYL have loud QRM with an RST of 5x5x5, which blew the diaphragm from the XYL's chooch circuit. Now I need to find another chooch circuit that can handle the RAM of 35 RPM. I found a source on line for A.N.A.L lube which guarantees better performance of the PDF when stepping up the RPM of the RAM over 15, Making the chooch circuit much quieter thus reducing the screaming to around 40 DBL. It took a few try's to get it dialed in and everything is working perfect. Thanks for the upload, it has given me inspiration!
    Okay, for those reading this ( if you finished ), It was just a joke. I liked the project and what was done, but didn't understand ANY of the technical stuff. So I posted what I basically heard as a JOKE. Did you scratch your head??

      Firstly I never once said I was an expert nor even implied it. With that out of the way I have in fact extensively listened to many of the more expensive offerings from the brands you mentioned and apparently categorize as “decent” because of their high price and recognizable brand name as opposed to their actual sound signature. None of the “decent” aka overpriced Chinese garbage have sound that travels any distance and that’s especially so for the bass notes. Oh and we aren’t comparing the sound after having to fiddle with some pitiful excuse of a 3 band EQ. Sound for sound as they are I doubt any are going to compare.

    I admit, I came in, I skipped around, I got to where I wanted... It wasn't until you walked back into the room that I really got perspective on how small that speaker was. That's impressive man, really impressive. I wanted to replace my center console mounted (GM stock) sub in the tahoe, and was thinking on how to improve on the design... this is is. A better thought out enclosure to make best use of the sub, which itself is far larger than what you're working with here. I'd love to have the insight, printer, etc that you have at your disposal there to whip up something as well as you have in this video. Hell, if you're this good with airspace and acoustics, you should get into one off custom enclosure for vehicles. Like Qlogic used to, and likely still does do, but used to be more known for. The remote, custom fit, stock looking options. But yours could have far more going on inside, and 3D printed as to really really really REALLY cut down on manufacturing costs.

    I own a Fiero and the speakers in it are itty-bitty little drivers. 2 3.5 inch in each headrest, a right & left rear channel, then just two front r&l 4X10's in the dash. As far as volume goes, it *seems* pretty loud with the rear channels 4 inches from the ears, but just very tinny sounding. I'm looking to make some very thin wedge-shaped sub-boxes to fit behind each seat, but not be right up against the seats when in the full rear-ward position, or reclined. As a Fiero owner I can tell you that it is easier to get in & out of the drivers seat when it is fully rearward, then I have to pull it almost fully forward to drive it. (LOTS of legroom in such a tiny car) I thought of putting 6X9's in the doors, but I don't want to go hacking on my car. I would rather not have to have a huge amp, but just run them directly from the head-unit. Something like this seems do-able and practical. (in the afore mentioned wedge shape)
