Those Meso's can handle some pop. Seeing that many woofers moving is ASMR in the morning. Thanks BBH😊
You're welcome
15:39 HAHAHAHAAH! "We got about a half inch left on the volume" HAHAHAHAHAHAAH!
The magnet being so close to the same diameter of the rest of the sub is such a good look
Brother the woofers have no surface to load off of so if you really want that 40 just turn your box around lol but make damn sure your trunk is tight and has plenty of deadner and also there are a tone of little tricks we do in the SPL competitions like closing all your heat/AC vents and lowering the sun visors or tilt the other seat forward hell sometimes even just sliding your box back an inch can make a world of difference it is crazy but the biggest thing is testing testing testing and trying new things but you got this one 👌💪🔊🔊🔊
I'm sure someone has mentioned turning them around. Bass waves are long....especially at 37hz.
It's really worth the effort.
Thanks for all you do sir!
It'a always worth a shot, but I would think that at 37Hz the port does more work than the cone.
Turning them what facing the trunk
@@MrTD714 apparently yea. People say this in every video
Tho personally I don't think it makes a difference unless you have a port or are changing the opening that goes from he vehicle cabin to the trunk.
In my case I have a single 15 in a very big box, ported and facing forwards.
I just shoved some blankets next to the box to seal of the trunk from the cabin kinda like a temporary trunk wall build (vide on my channel)
Turning my box around would be really dumb as someone who wants loudness.
@@RandoManFPVit makes less of a difference if you have a port . Sealed boxes do much better loading off the trunk, but you can still gain db at certain frequencies with a ported box. His box is designed with the port facing backwards, so it dont help a whole lot. It still could gain a db or two by having the cones facing the trunk.
good job dad! your labors are appreciated and entertaining! thanks for being you and sharing you and your family with everyone! Thank you! that was high school me's dream set up lol love it!!!
Our pleasure!
👍👍, after watching this, I'm even more impressed with the free air 18's db. Score. If they were in the proper box🤯
I agree totally.
@@BudgetBassHead I was thinking. If you doubled up your trunk rubber seals " that should make the back end of the trunk air tight". Put the 18's in sealed boxes. With the back seat down' used as a port" your trunk would be a 4th order technically. Right? Probably close to a 4-1 ratio also.
Just to put more information out there what 8s can do…I just got 4 sundown u8s in a ported box under my rear seat in my f150, powered by a sundown sia3500 and I was recently able to get a 141.6 with some young jeezy I put on. I’m also a novice and maybe I can get more after I tinker with it more and let them break in. Thanks for this video! I wanted the mesos but at the time the U’s were on sale for less than their SAs and my installer said they were beasts and I wouldn’t regret it
INCREDIBLE video, man!! Love seeing how much your vids have progressed.
Keep doin whatcha do
Will do.
If aiming subs forward they need to be sealed off from the trunk if you aren't going to seal them off point the subs to the rear ..I bet you get higher numbers that way
Mm, Mm, Mmm, the smell of BASS in the morning!! Great video and thanks for training the future bass headz of tomorrow!!
My pleasure for sure
Lol love it , there towrds the end i could hear your pure enjoyment the higher you got 👍 good stuff , keep up the great videos
YES. This one was really fun. I was shocked by the amount of sound it produced at the lower power rates.
You would gain 2db w the subs facing the rear 😭😭….like angled if it’s a side port point both to each corner of the trunk
Any system can get loud it would just depend on space and what your trying to achieve, overall great video man.
I agree 100%. This video was very fun to do.
@@BudgetBassHead for most daily listening without hearing fatigue you don't need to fill your car with woofers and amplifiers. Though either you use a bigger box (design dependent as well with each design optimum for different size range Sealed < Passive Radiator < Ported < 4th order < 6th order < Tapped Horn < Front Loaded Horn) or bigger amplifier or both.
My girls two 8s mesos used to flex her van big time. These subs are sick, killah set up on your subs
Damn I love it bro. I'm fixing to put 4-8"s in my truck. I can't wait to learn off your channel. Thanks for what you do!
I was going to get a 6.5" Meso but I got a Rockville W65K9D2 6.5" 1st to see what my Bass Tube enclosure experiment sounds like. These days a 6.5" hits LOW LOW frequencies and I gotta get me a set of Mesos next for sure.
First video I have seen of your. I love the passion and excitement you have for the hobby, You really show it! LOVE IT!
Glad you enjoy it!
The best testman, my testman ❤, resolved cuedtions in my mind vest video
Thank you!
I was recently able to get a 142.6 not knowing what the heck I’m doing with 4 sundown U8’s in my f150 underseat box powered by a sundown sia3500…thank you for doing spl tests!
And thank you for watching
Those 6.5 subs are no joke they look sweet
They do
Man I love ur vids so much.. I've always wandered about mixing different size subs. So coo that u did!!!
Glad you like them!
Man you sound so much like Steve Harvey it’s crazy!! Great build! Love your content.
This might be the best video you've ever done. Nice
Glad you think so!
I loved this!! Grinning ear to ear the whole time!!
Cool video thanks for sharing that crazy setup
Oh man another fantastic video! You never disappoint my friend!
Fun vid. Keep up the great work!
Thanks! You're appreciated.
Nothing like the stacked box sound..
I had two kicker 10s in slot port
On top of two kicker 12s in the slot port, comp c factory box.
The mirror in my van shook like agitated jello💯
Nice 👍
Love the video big bro, keep up the solid work. 👍
That's really disappointing that score. I thought for sure you've got a 150 out of that
Hitting a 150 is harder than u think then😂
Really cool video! I love doing tests like this. Also fun game drink everytime he says he doesn't like the amm1 😂
Got your Daughter working with you........
Here sir, you dropped your 👑
💯
MAJOR salute!!💯🛠💪
Impressive results! Keep the great content coming!
Your videos are very much appreciated..🙏🙏🙏
You deserve over 100k subs man.
Working on it!
The setup is slick but imma just say it, this man about to sell me on my next car being an Impala :P
Stopped production 4 years ago, which isn't a big deal. What's a bigger deal is fwd only. Always wondered why they made the old SS model and the most recent model making 300 horsepower.
Anything fwd over 200-250 hp, in my experience, is a nightmare to drive. Differentials can help, but can only do so much, and Chevrolet probably isn't doing too much to get that power down.
My step bro had a gti that had a ton of work into it, like high 3/low 400hp, and he just could not put the power down, and oversteer is NOT FUN in the corners.
Nice comparison here. It's great to see smaller woofer builds you've been doing lately. Of all the setups you've done, which do you like the most as far as sound quality vs spl, lower wattage vs higher wattage? Is it the passive radiator?
Infinite baffle
@@BudgetBassHead the 18s?
9 subs looks sweet. Looks like you could fit a few more in there!
Cool video man. Good comparison for sure
Awesome content man, keep it up
Appreciate it!
If nothing else that looks second kind of cool! I took my 12"'s out and am only running one 6 inch Skar in my Avalanche because my back deck leaks a little and I did not want the box and subs to get damaged over the winter. I have the one 6 inch Skar in a small box under the back driver side seat as there just is no room in that cab. I am amazed at the thump I get from that little Skar. I built the box to get 42 Hrt and it plays my Rock and country fantastic. It lacks a little when trying to go to low on the bass but I think I am sticking with it. At least for now.
I would love to do 12 6.5’s in clam shell, but I first have to get rid of my Kicker Solo X 12 (finally broke in) and hitting 148.1db @34hz @12.6v firing backwards in trunk.
Bro love the set up and much respect on this video bro salute😝🙏🫶
DAYUMM ! I need this in my boat !
Sweet video bro !! Nice box
Thanks for watching
It looks like your polarity is like one of your boxes is reverse polarity from the other one, you might want to recheck your positive and negative connection inside your boxes again. All the subs should be moving in unison especially with both the boxes being ported. Other than that pretty sweet video. Does your box slide around at all? cuz that kind of worries me with how close those terminals are to the amp don't want to see anything get blown over something simple
This is called camera or shutter roll. Everything is perfect in reality, but comes across distorted on camera
@@BudgetBassHead yea for sure I have recorded alot I was just looking out. I know how the light hits can make it look like that, I just was thinking it could possibly be like that because at the end of the video it look like you could barely turn it up and it sounded off, but then again face does not come through on a microphone very well. Anyways yeah just trying to look out and help you out if it sounds louder with only one box then the two boxes then there's definitely reversed. I'm sure you know that you seem very knowledgeable. Anyways awesome good man I'll be watching more in the future.
swear i was listening to Steve Harvey host a show about bass !! lmao !!! hahah.... love the video. Nice set up, and whats nicer is that you got your girl working with you. Lucky man. My woman can't stand my loud music. hahah..
Thank you. That was awesome to watch.
Video request! I’d like to see how loud you can get any enclosure you like with the only limitation being power. For example: limit you watts to 5k. I would be interested to see what driver or drivers you choose to get the loudest under 5k watts
Maybe try with like 100 watts so it's easier to measure SPL and less hearing fatigue. I bet you could still get pretty loud with the right box, although filling up most of the car with a big tapped horn box to get 130 dB with 100 watts might be counterproductive.
My 2011 CTS at 38 hertz peak as well.
I had an idea similar to this thinking maybe a person could tune the boxes differently to get a wider range of frequencies?
Mixing different size subs is kind of cheezy, but to each his own. Still a great video nonetheless.
It would most definitely be louder w a different placement in the trunk!!!!
140 is a good score. You sound disappointed. But you have five subs at 5000watts! Sick system!
Those subs are savage! Just throwing it out there….do you think it’s worth a shot to move the boxes around? Maybe put the 6.5s on the bottom? Face them backwards? Great video!!
I wonder about putting both ports on the same side.
@@BudgetBassHead that should help Spl levels 😉👍
Only thing id be worried about is its 2 amps connecting the 2 boards together with it looked like solder traces then bolts hilding each sectiin of fhe combined amps hipe theres bolts all threw the amp holding the board secure from vibration def a powerhouse amp my dude has 2 of these right not on i think 6 ground zero atomic subs the red ones and its brutal he stays at 15.5 volts full filts on a huge huge lithium setup
Awesome video! What app do you use for the bass sweep
Great video brother. How does that DSP work other than the connection issue
I think you got power mixed up when you have a low base more power from amp High base the coil gets hot from the coil staying in a specific zone on the motor creating allot of heat
Honest question, can't you sitting between the subs and the meter negatively effect the results?
You showed your bass test app already opened. Do you have the name of the app or maybe on the next video show what the app icon looks like. Thanks!
I forgot to name it. I'll try to remember in the next one.
Thats a crazy build. Definitely great entertainment. Awsome vedio
Video
Glad you enjoyed it
I hate my Amm1 for the same reason! Great video
i have one meso 12 inverted in a 1.5 cubic foot box tuned to 37 hz with 24 square inches of port and its nasty on a skar RP 1500.1
Not dissing the setup but I am curious on why it is taking so much power to crack a 140 with that many subs. I got a single 12 in the trunk on a md 1200.1 and Im doing 140 on the glass.
each box is only 1.25 cu.ft. internally; not moving a lot of air here.
@@BudgetBassHead Ah that makes sense. So I guess my question is what is the point of that box design?
@@scottbe1 these are space savers, not SPL builds. Stacking them was suggested by many viewers.
im amazed you have an AMM-1. I cant find any place that has them in stock? Sold out everywhere, and has been for a while. Id like to have one to play with. Thanks for sharing
Pure craziness
So all the subs hook up or just the 6s n 8s at once
I have 2 cheap $60 Audio Legion Armada 10s doing 145db in my car. Using the same db meter you have. I think if the port was on the same side as the subs and then completely seal off the trunk so all the sound stays in the cabin then it would be much louder.
Thanks for sharing.
That definitely sounds terrible
I got 6 - 6.5’s B2 audios in a gately truck box. But wish I would have went with 8’s instead.
Wow it's different.
have you oscilloscoped that line-out dsp? isnt it a deafbounce machete? i dont think that i could play that loud on mine, via bluetooth, before bad signal out
Did you have your Amp at 0.5 ohm or 1? Still wondering how box boxes are wired, and together. Did you end up getting more or less box rise then .3
The 6.5 should have a lil more come area but might have a higher FS…ide run the same box for both and see the output and response and determine the box for the 6.5s off that
Damn I kinda want to try this in my Passat lol.
Balls to the wall. You da man.
I run my taramp at .33ohm rising up to .50-1.0 ohm, its a reactive load not resistive like a amp Dyno
That was cool thx!
With those meso 8 do you know what the
Volume of Displacement - Vd. If I want to compensate for the volume taken up by the woofer.
I believe it's .1 cubic foot. Not sure check the website
If you still got that stacked in there do a simple demo, maybe some tricks, looks like it's moving some air.
I wonder what you would hit if that box was facing the back for bass refec
When hitting the note at the same time open the driver door. I promise you will hit 4 to 6 db more
Hmm, I think you are getting some cancelation. With that power and cone area Id assume higher scores. My 3 10" RS golds on a smart 5k are hitting 146 at 33hz. I can play music at 142 hz from 29hz-38hz all day long.
Dope video 💪🏽💯🙌🏾
Thank you great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Are you not worried about cancellation?
Wow awesome video!
Glad you enjoyed it
I love it good job
2 12”s on a AudioPipe APHC 8000 H2
Question? Is there there a 3db gape between the tuning of the boxes?
Not sure if it camera frame rate or if they're running out of phase with each other but looks sweet man
Its the camera. Out of phase would produce little to no sound
I think the Peerless STW 350 F would be louder
@BudgetBassHead yes how would it compare?
I got 142 with one 15 inch with one normal batt, in a jetta 3 at 1000 watts
What is that tool called that has that digital readout?
Great intro music, anyone knows the name of it? p.s. great videos 🤩✌️
fun fact there's 5 kings of 8's and the meso is 6th place, so there'd be 5 others that get louder but 2 of the kings cost $350+
This is nice but the top box is out of phase… swap leads and redo the test, I’m sure it’ll do better based on you port positioning!
What app you use to test the bess weep
I got a 151.9 in the kick at 36hz
I need some subwoofers anything you wanna get rid of
