Just admit it Peter. You are from the future. Untouchable professionalism
You know, I'm tempted to believe you if I hadn't seen the birth certificate myself! 🤣 Cheers!
$50 in drivers, $4k+ in laser and accessories. Love it. 😁
Awesome build, you should market those. They'd make killer desktop speakers. Put a few LEDs inside and the gamers would eat them up!
Nothing better than startin out your day to a hexibase video. Thank you for this gem.
It's really hard to believe that those sounds are coming from a 2 inch speaker. WOW. Thanks for sharing
The power of horn loading
2.5", but yeah...
When the love of your life is also your shop assistant, only good things can come.
This takes "Guess what's in my trunk" to a whole new level. Ahh, the good ole days.
Once upon a time I made cases for a pair of 12" loudspeakers. Each enclosure had a volume of 160 liters! I used an ancient JBL Speakershop software to compute parameters of the acoustic system. They sounded outstandingly, but i moved to another house and couldn't get them with me, so I gave them away to my best friend.
You really are a whiz. It’s fun watching you do what you do. Also, your wife is a keeper..helping you with your hobby/passion.
You are the Bob Ross of schilling
The first sound demo sounded a bit weird but the room listening really brought the speakers to life. Insane from such a small driver. The "Room" that Sophie was stating was dead on. Then the car test stunned me. So smol yet so much power. They do say the smaller the thing the more louder the personality.
1st demo almost like out of phase !
Something like these would be cool to have but I don’t have $3k laying around for the lazar cutter. Any thought of selling these in kit form?
Can we get the lightburn design file to cut or an svg? Which driver did you use?
Never in my life would I have thought someone would be able to run a pair of 2" subwoofers in their vehicle. I've been an car/home audiophile since I was 13. I am now 51. Step up to 4-4" run by a pure 100w rms amplifier @0.05%thd. Transmission or horn loaded enclosure with fiber optic lighting built-into the enclosure common chamber. I'm just wondering how small of subs/amplifier and enclosure it could achieve 135 db? I see your gf/wife helped which makes the project much more enjoyable. Keep playing/thinking outside the box. No pun intended............isobaric, 4th order motorized port FQ enclosure. Awesome video.
This is really impressive and the total opposite of people who just put big drivers into badly designed enclosures. Takes way more knowledge and ingenuety to build something like this. Exactly why i love your videos.
I dont know if this is just me but it was very helpful when you talked during the demo to give more context to the volume and hear just how loud these speakers are getting. Great video!
Wow, absolutely impressive - your setup is missing a CO2 fire extinguisher, and remember to always keep wood/mdf cutting dust or condensate from acrylic laser areas ! That's a huge fire hazard.
Very cool laser !
Massively missed you, glad you are back!
Bose uses four 2-1/2" woofers in a large vented box under the floor of the Cadillac CT6. I bought a box removed from a wrecked vehicle and connected my own amp, and it works really well for being so small.
As for impressed with my own DIY per say, I have some large size mid range Sony bookshelf speakers - themselves a good 20/25 years old (linked to my 1989 Technics SU-600 'New Class A' Integrated amp (serviced & maintained). Anyway, the drivers were getting old and sounded rough, and standard, would tail off at around 60/65 Hz. So, I bought had a quirky idea... I bought some Pioneer A6990F 6x9s, bought some 10mm MDF sheet, made a fresh new face plate (cut to size, with a 6x9 cut out, port cutout and painted black to match the rest of the housing), reinforced the bookshelf speaker housing, rewired them with better terminals and leads etc, bolted and sealed the new face plates to the existing chassis, inserted some sound material, installed the A6990Fs and new ports, and now, they sound great! Clear, rich, full, and now tail off around 40hz! I will get myself a sub to assist with getting lower, but what a difference already!
To answer questions at the end... It's the Bose videowave subwoofer, those were surprisingly good
Dude the song selection was 11/10 you never stop to amaze me. Much love from Texas 💪
That is some incredible output from 2" drivers, horns are magic, there's no other conclusion
To answer your question smaller speaker that impressed me used to be the Genelec 6010a but now it is the IK Multimedia Iloud micro monitors
Always amazed by your knowledge with audio and fabrication….keep up the great work .
That's not just HexiBase, that's PlexiBass!
There are 2...the first one was a 6in subwoofer in a MASSIVE box in the back of a truck putting out close to 120db...second is the beats pill...have ALWAYS been impressed
As always world class top of RUclips quality video, and I tip my hat to your design skills. Most impressive small driver for me was 5F/8422T01 from Scan-speak in 1liter closed, its a 2" driver. I got fooled and thought I was listening to a 5" Revelator, well the song didnt push excursion and more played into its obvious abilities like strumming a guitar, but still it did that with great substance and detail, but like any fullrange it rolled off at the top a bit early. Another is the B3N from Hivi which is a 3" which provides great bas, but breaks up early for such a small driver. Thank you for the immaculate video.
When I was 13 I bought a stereo from Costco that had 6.5" woofers. It was a Sharp brand 200watt stereo. That was 20years ago.
I was about to complain about you advertising a cheap dangerous Laser cutter, but good job, this one is really safe and high quality.
The newest Videos from Makers Muse really show what a huge health hazard the cheap ones are.
I am still at 1/3 of the Video, but I am sure the results will be amazing!
Keep the videos coming. The production and projects keep getting better and better! I found you years ago with the original 3D printed subwoofer enclosure.
I think the most impressive speaker I ever experienced was an 8 inch sub. Power Bass USA xS-84D. I built a sealed box for 4 of these subs in a 2005 jeep Cherokee. I had never experienced mid bass like that but also as a fluke the cabin resonance in that car really enhanced the low freq experience. Total fluke that I built the box just right to experience this.
next hexi base will make a enclosure for a 1'' tweeter with even longer ports
You are the kind of maker that I need as a neighbor so I could come hang out and learn new things! :)
I've enjoyed watching your many various builds!
i rmember seeing more and more 6 inch subs and rmember hearing 8" jl subs absolutly hammer bass out of cars back in the late 90's
Man, its people like you that make the world go round!!!👌👌👌
I and some other commenters are actually quite interested in the design process itself. I would love to see how you come up with designs while maybe giving some tips as you go. I imagine these kinds of videos being low effort (compared to your usual, super well produced videos) but still very high value for the whole speaker building community, since there is still a lot of bulls**t out there and quite little people with nearly as much knowledge as you. I would even be interested in partnering up, to reduce the workload on you, if time is what's keeping you from producing such videos. I am starting a small video production company in Austria so if you are interested feel free to get in touch by answering to this comment!
I'll take a hard guess and tell you that its 1.2 meters (around 4ft) long canal starting from 1.4 liter (around 0.03 cu-ft) compression chamber with 2.4cm (1 inch) opening and ending with 8 to 10cm (4 inch) diameter mouth. The diameter means round shape, you can "press" it to square shape at your will as long you do not change the area square units.
Awesome video, always glad to see Sophie in the video 🙌
Always happy to be here!! Cheers! 🥰
You’re awesome! Been watching you for over 5 years. Sucks some of the old videos are gone
Now you got me wondering if sealing the horn and adding a 10" passive radiator would add the punch back to the low end response. Beautiful build and good use for the office to fill the small rooms.
Wow.. that 2 inch drivers do work, but definitely not a subwoofer IMO. Next should be an isobaric subwoofer 😍👍. Thank you.
ive said it once ill say it again: you never disapppoint.
also to summarize my first impressions: "dude what" and "holy *** thats insane"
I am very happy to see you still doing youtube. I followed you back in the vlog days.
He is back 🎉 good video
IIRC a lot of Japanese cars use 2 3-inch drivers in a special enclosure as the subwoofer. AFAIK, they actually sound good and get surprisingly low.
Nice!! Maybe Next time countersink the screws on the plexiglass: more contactarea and nice and flush mounting.
Great stuff! The smallest speakers I've been impressed by were a pair of OZ Audio 4" drivers...had them in my dash in the mid 90's, and while transferring my audio gear to a new car I drove around with this setup in my old beater: 6 JL 12w1 running on an Orion 2100 HCCA 75hz low pass, 2 OZ Audio 4" drivers on an Orion 225 HCCA with a 100hz high pass, with a single center 2" ribbon tweeter (can't remember who made them) with passive cap x-over...and believe it or not it was entirely listenable! people were shocked to find the only mids I had were 2 4" drivers after a demo 😂.
every time you make a new project with a tiny speaker it makes me want to try it. thanks for putting the time and effort into making these videos! and Sophie too!
i love my dayton audio 4" woofers. I put 4 of them ($10 each) in 2 cu.ft. slot ported enclosure from MDF. I believe I was able to get it to play down to about 32 Hz. I since then put them in a smaller custom sealed box so that they hit low with less volume. It works better for my system to have them sealed
You always impress. The design of the box outstanding.
1995 six and a half inch pyramid phase 3. I could not kill the speaker remarkably loud and it flexed really good too
I was in the electronics business my entire life at one point I had a store in Washington DC and I had a big section that was empty. I decided to do car audio I carried everything from Soup To Nuts at one point I decided to build the system for my son and the pyramid woofers looked great for the money they were all different grades of pyramid I decided to go with two 12-in woofers in a big ported box that was pre-manufactured the woofers were rated at 800 watts RMS each I knew that they were always overeating them some of them sounded good some of them sounded like garbage it was a crap shoot knowing that I could return it if there was a problem I put it together and got myself a nice Cadence 3,000 watt monoblock amp everything was wired properly I installed everything into my son's car I gave the woofers a chance to break in I played them at a low volume for about 24 hours as soon as I started to increase the wattage I started to smell the voice coils burning and then sure enough no sound at all when I try to move the woofers with my hand they were sealed tight needless to say I remove them return them to the manufacturer and never came near another pyramid woofer in my life. I used to sell them but I never use them personally you're telling me that you had one that you didn't have any problems with and you weren't able to blow it I can tell you something you just so happened to get one that was a miracle woofer it was pyramids job to produce the least expensive components basically for Clip Joints for instance run by syrians or Israelis then moving on to flea markets but they have always been garbage I remember when they first came to the states they had these little 1-in equalizers that were being imported from China back in the day nothing was made in China in any case once it got here the people at the factory were taking these little gold stickers and putting them on the box anything they felt fit 200 Watts 500 watts 800 watts it didn't matter all they were looking to do was sell the product and then have a big sign by the register no refunds what I'm trying to say is I'm Amazed that you got your money's worth out of a pyramid product you got very lucky.
@@Mr.Robert1 that's an interesting story. I was maybe 14 at the time playing around didn't have a car hooked it up to home audio components. Do you remember Urban audio works subwoofers? Hello what made them unique was the purple color and then the cone was convex then concave. If you had the one with the big magnet it was awesome in the later years they went with the smaller magnet and wasn't nowhere near as good. If you remember the company aluma pro the 12-in bandpass box where are the box was made for the sub and the sub was made for the box. It was an amazing speaker a pair would produce over 160 DB at 250 watts each. The company still in business it's a small family-owned company and they're main focus is on high quality factory speakers for German cars but they still make those bandpass 12s and 10s and I'm waiting to get my hands on one right now
Yup, that’s a 2” subwoofer! Never would have thought it possible, but I’ve heard 6” and 8” subwoofers that didn’t get that low. I really think you nailed it on the full range demo though, especially with the room expansion. It even handled the highs a bit better than the Tang Bend (sp?) 3” speakers you used a while back. Love the use of acrylic to make the waveguide visible too. Really neat, as I’ve come to expect for your channel. 👍
These videos are always great because I am fascinated with audio (especially audio design) and I love playing with lasers! I was listening through a pair of BeyerDynamic DT770 PRO headphones from the headphone jack of my phone and the bass from little drivers really speaks volumes to the design of the enclosure. I may look into getting that laser next, I was super impressed all around
The fact you can hear bass recorded from a microphone played through a phone DAC to studio headphones is kinda insane
Cool project indeed and surprised with in car sub performance. But my favourite is the clear sides design showcasing the horn shape, definitely a cool piece to have in home setup. Well done. And that laser cutter looks proper good too
Another super cool build with small speakers! My most impressive small speaker story; I used the Tectonic 1 1/8" Speaker you featured in a previous build, in some BIB enclosures that I made. They are about 24 inches tall and 2 inches wide. Fun speakers on a small computer desk.
Impressive for 2” drivers but to be honest, if that space constraint and a 50Hz bottom end are real targets, I’m thinking much more can be accomplished with larger drivers in the same or less space and with a far simpler enclosure design.
Impressive demonstration of what horn loading can do, though. I enjoy watching each and every one of your builds.
true. on the other hand, if weight is considered, not space, this might be the way.
Also, frequency response alone is nothing, as it can be equalized out. Loudness at lows is the primary constraint of small designs. And it's difficult to convey loudness over a youtube video. So i'm having a hard time appreciating how good (or not good?) this design really is.
@@victortitov1740 good points, however, if low weight is a primary objective (in a car for example), eliminating the subwoofer altogether makes the most sense. Also, you cannot equalize-in more driver displacement. 😉
I think the most impressed I've been by a small speaker was the 1st time I heard the 1 watt Marshall portable guitar amplifier in 1996. It ran off a 9v and you could feel it. Personally I don't consider a speaker full range unless it can at least go below 40hz. I have started converting everything into individual channels for Sub Woofer, Woofer, Mid Bass, High Range and then Tweeter so I need at least 10 channels for full range stereo.
I bought my son one of those Marshall amps back in the day, unbelievable sound that it produced!
Sound engineer at work. Impressive!
@@HexiBase 👍 May your wishes comes true!
Your videos make me reconsider what's possible
@@HexiBase will do lol
yes, finally a new episode.
Fun video to watch! Love seeing your designs and builds! Always unique and interesting, also inspiring!
I’ve sure enjoyed you and your knowledge and passion ever since the local “guess the speaker size” videos and hair tricks. Beautiful builds.
Had a Polk Audio Swimmer Jr. speaker and was quite amazed how much sound it produced. Nothing like what I am hearing now out of your printed enclosure. Quite incredible for such a small driver.
@HexiBase you should cencor the package inscription for shipping
Always such a fun time viewing your creative work. Thaks!
I had a Bose Wave Radio from about 1995 or 1996. I used it as my bedroom audio and alarm clock until around 2010, even after the display died. It used dual 2.5" drivers and sounded amazing at just about any sound level.
I still have a Bose wave radio & it does rather well for it's footprint. I remember being amazed by it's sound quality when I walked into a doctor's office & they had one playing music on a tiny wall shelf back in the 90's. I was blown away & made me get one. I have other stuff for music but I always enjoyed it's sound.😊
Absolutely amazing - Love your videos, your channel is shockingly under subscribed!
Unbelievable the results, you constantly amaze me
Brilliant video, I took apart my dads bose wave radio as it always fascinated me how so much sound/bass comes from such a compact unit. it uses 2 small drivers and a waveguide like this. Quite staggering what you can achieve with the right engineering.
That's what's fun about bass. Box design plays such a huge roll in the sound from the speaker(s). And I what I also love, size of the speaker(s) within a box changes so much. You can have big speaker(s) in a smaller box (relative to their size) and you may get alot of air/vibration movement, but little bass. Or a well designed box with smaller speakers, less air/vibration movement, but get much louder bass sounds.
Sorry I'm not good at explaining this, but basically bass is vibrating the air, thus more moving air should give louder bass. But the box design can hinder the bass notes while the speaker(s) still push/pull a good bit of air.
If you feel you aren't getting good bass from your speaker(s), likely it's the box design preventing a better quality sound.
This video shows you don't need big 12,15, or 18 inch speaker(s) to get good loud sounding bass.
(Yes speakers and subwoofers are different, but subwoofers are still technically speakers, that's why I used the word speaker instead of subwoofer.)
I loved every part of this video! Greeat editing and production skills!
Thank you very much for your great work.
There is only one type of build left for you to conquer and reinforce that you are the real soundman. A sub enclosure with 1 inch tweeters reverse mounted in one of your rear-loaded horn enclosures.
@@HexiBase Open back tweets might be a tough one, but have you ever thought of doing a video with some exciters? theyre fairly cheap from dayton, and can be used with MANY different materials to make a loudspeaker- just food for thought!
I'd love to see a long-form video essay detailing how you go about designing these enclosures; the software, the maths, and (academic) theory involved. If I remember correctly, you've worked with audio like this professionally for ages, so it'd be interesting how deep the rabbit hole goes when it comes to getting the most out of a space, driver, and enclosure combination. I cannot believe how much presence those little speakers have in that enclosure, especially in the casual mid-field demo. Listened with Hifiman Sundaras running through a Behringer Xenyx Q502USB interface, with a tacticle transducer/bass shaker attached to my chair (scuffed, I know lol).
Oh, and I am insanely jealous of your new toy 😄
you never fail to amaze me of what you can get out of such small drivers.
But at the space these little babies take up, I cant help but feel that the 4" folded horn is a better use of space.
Awesome vid! Those 2in drivers are crazy! Superb horn design too.
That's phenomenal, waveguide technology is amazing, I had to turn the bass level down on my monitors lol
As always great video Pete. You have come a long way since the team toxic bass days and PWK forum days. Have a good one!
You should be a PROFESSOR !!! Very good presentation and would like to hear this in person. I've always been impressed with your work all the way back to your 6" sub enclosure from the beginning of your channel Keep up with the great videos
Dude this is so sick man I absolutely love it!!! Fantastic job Pete 👏 👍 so my son and I built a t line for a pair of there bigger brother 4" models and we stuck it in his Ford ranger and we were blown away with the performance he was flexing his doors at 26hz not like a crazy amount but you could see it I was taken back alot!
Your channel has grown so fast
The truth is that after listening to the Best "Antique" Radio Ever!, I took the whole idea and just played an acoustic booth and did it separately. And it turned out to be a MONSTER.
You should use that same design and use it wherever you want, it's as close to perfection as you can get.
Hexibase is as good as it gets.
If you want a small baffle, go look at that. Best "Antique" Radio Ever! (featuring the Snapmaker A350T).
It would be very interesting to see you build an 18“ tapped horn.
Fun project and lusty laser cutter. Makes my K40 look like something from the cold war. In fairness, it already did look like something from the old war. I've used those drivers as full range speakers in a few projects and they're amazingly flexible, but I never imagined that much bass coming from them, even if not all that low. It's a neat look and a cool party trick. Cheers!
incredible. I may try to reassemble your .stl files to make this 3D printable.
Very impressive as usual. Thank you for the video!
Keep up the great work! It's been a while since I last watched a video from your channel, sadly I missed out on the ones uploaded 2 months ago. I listed with my Corsair HS60 through a hama USB-C to Aux adapter on my phone.
I'm planning on designing my own speakers at some point, your content inspired me to do so.
I had no idea you could get that much sound out of such a small speaker, well done sir 🙂
Girl Friend was also Surprised..... if you know what I mean 😉
you need more subscribers, this is quality content
i was super impressed by the Epique E150HE-44 5-1/2" DVC subwoofer buddy of mine had 5 in his suv in a good sized ported box and ngl it sounded clean
I love your projects you build on a smaller scale all the ideas that are so much more of a task to build full scale AD got lucky when they found you
Make more videos! As a bass head and audio enthusiast (and aspiring engineer (not audio but the science is still interesting to me)) you’re channel is wonderful! I need more
Awesome build, they sound beautiful.
Hii! Really good videos. Ty for that.
I'm planning on building speakers with 3 or 4" full range drivers. No cross over or nothing. Just back loaded horn labyrinth. Currently stying how to use winISD. For anyone reading, resources to study this things would be truly appreciate.
The maker space you are creating for yourself is amazing. Congrats and enjoy!
Great job, awesome sounding speakers.
i have no inclination to ever do anything like this, but you attn to detail and editing and talking points are great. the are "audiophiles" and then there are sound engineers.
For a higher quality build,try HDF instead ;)
Love your videos man,keep up the good work!
I had a cheap 50 durabrand 5.1 surround almost 20yrs ago. I think I had a 2.5"-3" sub in it and it was great especially hooked up my computer. Dam near would shake my whole apartment
Smallest I have done was two Isuzu factory 4" door speakers in a 7th order bandpass. Fed it with some good high current power and it was shaking the rear view mirror with the "subs" in the trunk.
Smallest speaker driver I was impressed with: Visaton fr58. I built my pc speakers with these: driver, 1l closed box, and small subwoofer. These make surprisingly good broadband speakers, if you give them some slack in the sub 120hz range.
That profile view of the speaker looks really nice, and the sound you get out of your speakers is always impressive. While not a con the amount of cut waste seems impractical and ripe for innovating on.
Your design is next level! Wish I could afford a C02 laser! Nice work! I would like to see the 2" speakers in a 6th order enclosure! Now that would be crazy awesome!
Great video! Btw for me the best thing to make small speaker play "big" was to make them isobaric style, same enclosure volume, +-20hz lower tuning freq., just the group delay is bigger and the outpout is 3db smaller, but i think you have try it in the past :)
i seen this and it gave me idea for a spare tire sub in the form of a snail shell tiny speaker at the center top
