    Man I normally never leave comments on videos. Never like videos. Or do that extra stuff.. Just saw it as a waste of time.. But your videos have showed me that taking your time. Doing those extra steps. Really makes a difference. For instance the extra time you take to make these videos to truly help your fans. Actually helps us lol. The extra time you take to perfect little things during your builds makes the end item look amazing. And honestly I hope I can make items in my projects atleast somewhat comparable to yours. Thanks to these videos I honestly think I can. Please keep doing what you do.. It helps me sooo much and gives me confidence and ideas for my passion.. Time to make my dreams a reality, bought my first router table with router and an additional plunge router for over head cuts. And a table saw. So excited. Can't wait to build my very first custom box. Thank you for your amazing videos brodi. You ROCK. Keep rocking on

    Mark, you sir are brilliant. You have helped more than I can thank you for with the great videos. It’s cool that I’m always able to learning something. and I’ve decided to build an enclosure for my Tahoe I’ve spit 3 prefab boxes right at their seams. Not even exaggerating at all. They’ve worked decently but that’s not good enough.
    My slot ported 34Hz did well but @ only 6cu^... the pressure broke the box at opposing ends. The sealed boxes were pretty impressive for only 4/5 cubes. However the bottoms both got split.

    Each bass box incorporates dimensions specific to a driver's electrical and mechanical properties. In other words, you cannot put just any bass driver into any box. This box looks really awesome, although it is designed for a specific driver, and that driver must be identified and used otherwise it will not work.
    The other issue is that vented and TL bass boxes tend to have a low f3, and any bass system located inside a vehicle will present a significant rise in frequency response below 50 Hz, producing a boomy sound. The sealed bass systems with and f3 of 50 Hz are preferred in vehicles for this reason. I welcome your thoughts.

      Can you properly define "boomy bass"? Tight, punchy, and boomy bass is vaguely defined and is usualy very subjective. If the box is built properly, you won't have the supposed "boomy bass" you proclaim.

    • @sethh8892
      @sethh8892 5 лет назад

      @@ohyeahyeah1400 you'll get that from both, it's probably because Port enclosures can be tuned and therefore are generally tuned lower. (From 30-40) however most sealed enclosures stay around 40 and 50. High frequencies like 40 and 50 played can enclosure can create that. Also ears that aren't used to SPL will often do that "just because". Sealed closures are much more accurate but are extremely inefficient. I've never had that weird pressure that they supposedly cause, they've always sounded weak and boring to me. It all depends on tuning.

    Box. I'm a DIYselfer. I was doing almost the same thing not even knowing it should be done like this. I like the tutorial for making the molded mesh and will probably make some because it's cool. Would be nice to have a router. These tutorials will allow me to make some nice stuff. BTW no loss for the guys like you making this because I wouldn't be able to buy it anyway, and to all the people whining - yes it costs, handwork costs, custom does, and it's not actually that easy as you think if you don't know how to use the tools.

    Once again, excellent craftsmanship! I admire the heart and soul you put into every build and video.
    Just a quick tip, not only for you, but for everyone; When you were centering up the hole for the woofer on the face, there's no need to measure. Lay a straight edge across opposing corners of the face to create two diagonal lines. The point where they cross is the center of the board. 100% accurate every time. That's assuming the piece is 100% square, a.k.a. "true".
    Speaking of which, measuring across the opposing corners diagonally is also a way to ensure a piece is square. If the distances are not equal, the board isn't square (i.e., not all corners are at a perfect 90* angle).

    I found your channel this afternoon on accident. It’s very interesting. I’ve been binge watching!😂🤣 Back in 1999-2003 I was big into car stereo setups and equipment. Then I totaled my car, could only afford a single cab Toyota truck and so I packed my equipment away. Well, in the last 15 years my ears have lost most of their taste for crazy bass. Which is a bummer because I’ve still got my old equipment and a full wood shop! I want to build one of your designs but I’d never use it!!😂🤣 Wonder if my missus wants a pounding stereo in her Equinox?... 😂 👍🏻👍🏻 The last box I made was in 2001 and it was the ported box that was suggested and drawn up in the owners manual for the 2001 model Kicker Soloberic L7 12”.
    I had two powered by a 2001 model DX700 mono amp. I had an extra Optima Yellow Top and a 2 farad capacitor. Plus my components and a ZR240 to power them. Pretty badass for its time! I’ve still got the amps and subs but the components, crossovers, capacitor and battery and cables and fuse blocks have since “disappeared”. I should sell my 12”s and buy one badass 8” woofer and make a layered box of yours for under the back seat of my truck. Power it with the DX700.
    Thing is I used to listen to “acid techno” and “industrial metal”. Now I listen to mostly Bluegrass and the stand up bass REALLY drowns out everything else when you’ve got a woofer of any kind. You probably have some way to tune it tho I’d imagine.
    Man has stuff changed in the last 15 years!! Your channel is great!! I subbed and am looking forward to future builds and installs!!👍🏻👍🏻

    Nice work, CAF! The grooves for the extending brace-walls, really impressed me. Have not seen that before!
    You really have a nice tool setup now! You should consider a pneumatic nail-gun, if you don't have one already. I used to use a cheap one, with the thinnest nails. It's useful for tacking pieces together when building stuff with glue, and attach wood templates when routing.
    I have never used those red safety handle things, but when routing large pieces, I think it would be safer and more solid to just grab the wood directly. The handles are probably great for smaller pieces, where you have to grab close to the bit, though! Just my thoughts :)

      Thanks man! I do have a pnumatic nail gun, I just try to limit using tools that I know many might not own. I do use the router though because I feel lt is a must own tool. On larger pieces it is nice to just use your hands, but the idea is if the router suddenly grabs the material, it just pulls it out from under the push block, no harm done. In all honesty I feel much more confident using the router with them than without.

    Wow Mark, I just requested a box design from you for a Fi Audio SSD 12. I can't wait to get the design man and get started. Your videos are awesome. One thing that is really cool is that you are willing to teach others. Some don't want to give up these techniques. Keep them coming man.

    Box. I just built my first sub box for a 12 a few weeks ago, and man do i feel stupid. my box is pretty much a rectangular prism with supports. now dont get me wrong, it hits hard and is perfect for its sub ( if i could get it to stay sealed lol) but its not the best i coulda done. thnx for the tutorials, and i dont really have to say it but, keep up that amazing work. You just earned yourself another subscriber.

    Top notch design. The CAD drawings look real professional. I think i may try to build mine in sketchup, but i have a pickup that has limited space under the extended cab seats so i cant go with a standard square box like a trunk, but i like how you used 1 speaker that box'es expertly designed airflow will likely generate a more hi-quality sound than a simple box with twice as many speakers.

    Really nice design and build, I'm trying to get the loudest possible bass out of a single Kaption SPL 12 without sacrificing my whole trunk space. I've tried a slot ported box and a round port box so far and actually found the round port louder, the slot port have me loud as well as punchy bass which I like but I've yet to try a sealed, 4th order (due to trunk space) or a transmission line (space in trunk again) even though I've heard 4th & transmission line boxes can product some awesome bass! Sealed I've used on other subs in the past which weren't as loud but clear and used less power, however power isn't a problem so I just need to find what works with my space I have available!
    I'm lucky though my buddy owns his own car audio/video etc shop and I'm able to try out some boxes around the shop, however once I find the one that works for me I'll build my own.
    Great video it has some great info and pic's of the inside etc, I got a few good Idea's from your video such as the design at the end on the outside very cool!

    This was awesome, I wondered about putting angles into a sub box for aiding in the airflow looks like i was right. .5 Box, as in I watched the whole thing but don't have money to make an enclosure, thus i haven't really followed the instructions. Also subbed.
