I tried this mod, and I can say that I can enjoy low frequencies at lower volumes and don't have to open the volume too much. 40hz tried and tested. Thanks a lot!
So good to know. I'm going to try it. I've got Tribit and JBL Boombox 2. Tribit has nowhere near the level of deep bass as the JBL. Hoping this mod will bring the Tribit closer to the sound I want. Will report back!
I came to thank you, I bought the piece and it removed the distortions in songs with very low sub-bass, in addition to adding harmony to the sound. I bought 4 pieces, but I'm only using 2 and that's enough.
Not sure. Over-excursion happened with the stock tuning. I have tried it with freqency generator and it does not reach the xmax of the drivers so it is even less harmful then it was.
I just bought 4 of those, but upon weighing, mine is 25gr instead of 18gr, so I should just use one on each side? If only using one I should stick it on the center (on tribit logo) otherwise it will be unbalanced?
Thanks for the video, I'll buy it and test it. On my Tribit I normally use an external EQ and increase the Subbass. But I also notice distortions when the music oscillates between Sub-bass of -40hz to upper bass. Tends to make an annoying noise. Have you ever thought about using 3 of these supports instead of 2? How many grams will be in these supports?
I think that one on each side is enough. It improves a lot but two gets you tuning of around 38Hz. There is a Low-Cut under 30. The amplifier does not give signal to the speakers so This may be the sweet spot. Most music is not mixed down under 30Hz
i have a mifa wildbox, speakers does sound overdriving at higher volumes with basskick, i notice a soft suspension from the passive radiators perhaps similar to the og motion boom which seems quite good, but with all the distortion would adding weight to it help solve the issue?
Great, but there could be a before and after comparison of the upgrade. And when capturing, you don't notice any distortions in this box. Do you have a link to the magnetic supports used?
Hi, sorry for no comparison but the glue is strong so it is hard to take off-a good thing so it does not fly off. It improves the distortion in some songs. Some songs do not distort. Anyway it makes it sound better with deeper bass. There is still some distortion but the improvement is huge when playing bassy music. vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005003176227244.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.40.20d41802w2HtgN&gatewayAdapt=glo2vnm
so the weight will restrict/reduce the movement of the passive radiators so they vibrate less? I found that when cranking up the bass, the speaker gave nasty unwanted rumbles, so as a basshead. I did something I thought I would never do, reduce bass on the eq 😂
@@matus3303 will this mod reduce rumble/echo/vibration/boomy of the bass? I think I pefer what audio crowd call tight bass. I achieve this now by setting the low frequency to 0 or -1 on EQ (still can't decide)
I heard that actually it is better the weight to be on the speaker cone itself, but your idea is nice too. What about the midbass? Does it sound thinner and less punchy? Any differences in sound, except the lower freq response?
I doubt it would be fine for the speaker. sticking the weight may damage the speaker and it would sound very different all the parameters would change. Sounds same just deeper bass. Tuning the bass radiators does not change the woofer parameters
Everything moves as it did it just changes the tuning of the passive radiators to a lower frequency and that means the woofers are not so stressed like with the original tuning frequency
@@matus3303thank you sir! I was also wondering if I can use a diffferent type of material to stick on it, instead of the magnetic phone holder. I was thinking like a different kind of metal decal logo of some sort. Or does it have to be magnetic? And will there be a difference of the bass, if I go a little heavier on the decal? I know it’s a lot of questions. Lol
@@sf49erswarriorsgiantsgumba99 The magnetic phone holders weigh 18grams each so 36grams at each side. it does not matter what material you use but use something at least 15 grams to 40 grams and you should be good
One more question my friend, when adding these extra weights, you gain a response at low frequencies, right?But at higher frequencies does your box lose SPL as happens in boxes with a lot of weight on passive radiators?
Hi, even one on each side is enough. I bought these for an ipad for my car so I had 4. Ipad did not hold so I used them on this. You can cover the tribit logo almost perfectly with one if that helps
@@albertalbertov6406 I prefer both but even one is a improvement. You can try just one and then test with two it can be taken off. Maybe not press it hard so you can take it off more easily
I know. The speaker is overloading even with -6db in some songs so the EQ is not the problem. After this mod it does not distort as much even with +6db. I doubt anyone uses this speaker for serious listening anyway. If you have any idea how EQ works if you lower the gain by 6db and add 6db at 50hz it is not going to overload. I have been doing EQs with REW + EqualizierAPO, Genelec GLM, DBX sound processor This speaker is DSP corrected but we have no idea which filters are there and how they were set. You will not get a pure sound from this because of that.
You just cant afford it.. Specially the wifi version.. I have the Tribit Blast and Soon Blast 2 when released.. But i still admire the deepbass and sound quality of JBL BB3.
Button: *Doubt* JBL BB3 as well as Sony Ult Field 7 are by far, the best portable speakers you can have on the go with you, specially the BB3 Wifi, check YT and online reviews pal.

How do i get the settings you use @@matus3303
Thanks my brother man it has really worked great 👍 and the bass 🔊 has improved.
this mod works because of the magnetic field or just because of the weight you put on the passive radiator? tq
weight. It is attached to a rubber diaphragm.,
Hi, just the weight
@@matus3303 ic.. Tq.. So it doesn't have to be a magnet. Any similar sized metal will do.. Right?
@@gabrieljohn4512 Yes, this just was the most simple way because it was heavy and had a adhesive sticker on the back. 18grams is the weight of one
@@matus3303 ordered mine hihi
Thanks alot. I am going to try. A small question. Before fixing magnetic strips cant you hear frequencies below 50Hz?
I could hear 50hz before, it goes to 40hz after
But why does adding weight make it reach lower frequencies?
Not sure, You can look up how passive radiator tuning works
Lowering the tuning point of the passive radiators can cause damage to the drivers if not done correctly
Not sure. Over-excursion happened with the stock tuning. I have tried it with freqency generator and it does not reach the xmax of the drivers so it is even less harmful then it was.
what is the app you using for the frequency checking & are you using the Eq settings from the Tribit app?
Hi, it is called "Signal Gen"
@@matus3303 thank you Matus
Also with this can you help us with a an image with the best Eq settings for the speaker via the Tribit app
I just bought 4 of those, but upon weighing, mine is 25gr instead of 18gr, so I should just use one on each side? If only using one I should stick it on the center (on tribit logo) otherwise it will be unbalanced?

hello will this work with soundcore boom2 plus?
do you think this hack would work on the W-KING?
Yes
Lástima que no haya una comparativa para ver su desempeño antes y después 😵💫 pero interesante modificación

pretty sure its Cyberpunk by Max Brhon
so it will stop the movement to the side? how about the mid woofer? forced?
Everything moves as it did it just changes the tuning of the passive radiators to a lower frequency and that means the woofers are not so stressed like with the original tuning frequency

I can not find them magnetic weights.....
is is called a magnetic phone holder. Is should be everywhere at a gas station, e-shop etc.
@@matus3303 thank you. I found similar ones.... I was searching automotive phone holders and that didn't work. But I have it now!
@@eddiekytia Great news! Hope you enjoy the mod
So when you put the magnets on there, tou get more bass?
You get more deep bass. And reduced bass at the peak of the bass radiator. So the speaker sounds cleaner with less distortion.

You shoud give the EQ crated by Ala Ross Reviews a try, since they are often the best.
How will these work with the new Soundcore Boom 2 Plus boombox?
I have no idea. You can try it
did you try? i also want to know if it makes difference as the boom 2 plus has tilted passives
update i tried it and makes the bass deeper and you can feel it more but you lose upper bass output 🥲
@@jacobdavidson9752 cool, 5 bucks huh? For those thingies, I mean.

It will work. Not sure about how it would sound tho..
