Agreed! First video I've even seen and first time I've seen this channel at all. Subscribed with all notifications straight away. Stellar content, narration, workflow, camera angles, and even comic relief in the beginning with the 'angry typing' 🤣 The memes inserted are a done so with the proper balance as well. One very _very_ minor critique: the background music being the same for the entire video, did kinda get old. It's not that it's bad, but the same music the entire time I think would be greatly improved even if only varied by maybe 3 different songs vs just one. Just my honest opinion. Cheers!
@@redford6110 as he said. he could have get higher if he made a SPL Specific box. also he doesnt have any modifications in the car to make the SPL higher. This box is extremely good still for being an all around box. Decent SPL with good bass response.
Every time I watch one of your epic videos, I'm blown away by your combination of audio engineering, mechanical design, prototype-production builds, and audio/video production capabilities. I've spec'd, built, and installed several car audio systems in my 20 years of tinkering, and like any skillset I'm proud of, I love finding out one day that I don't know shit! That means there's a whole new world to learn, with more project rabbit holes to dive down, and many mistakes to make on the way to building something epic. Bravo Sir!
@@HexiBase Manufacturers should work with you to mass manufacture some of your designs! Even put your name on the product as the HexiBase line of enclosures.
Once again well done. Model. Printing. Video, editing, and testing. Seeing this come off a printer is exciting! I can only imagine what the future of these printers hold!
one easy mesurement tip: just place your hand on the subwoover enclosure and play different sub frequencies loud. if you can feel no enclosure vibrations, you did a good job :)
DIY TIP of the Day... Next time you need to use time sensitive glue or epoxy, mix the two parts as one does, scrape it all up and wipe it in to the corner of a plastic sammich or heavier bag if the mix is thick. Ring it all to the corner as best you can. Then right behind that, twist the bag several times, to pinch off the epoxy and cut off the tiny corner of the bag, approx no more then to create an 1/8" hole. As you continue to twist the bag behind the epoxy, it will squirt out in a fine line, as if you are running a caulking gun. Allows the installation of the glues/epoxy to be much cleaner, instead of a toothpick or pop sickle stick.. if you cut a really dinky hole, one can get very precise with the placement of the line(s)... good luck
Not only is the 136db off the hook for a 6.5" sub, but the fact that at 20hz it's playing 10db louder than your 139db 10" printed sub is mind blowing! It also plays deeper and smoother than that 10 with much less cone excursion. Nice work! Because I'm "that way" I would probably want to try and tweak things a little bit to bring up that 20-30hz dip and kill that 50-60hz peak. But that's being super super super picky and like I said something probably only I and 2 other people on the earth would bother with.
20 years ago as a teenager, I flexed two JL W3 12"'s in a crappy box and only hit about 110db if I remember correctly. It was in my little chevy cavalier with foldable rear seats.
I really wanna try and make this box in mdf, since i no 3d printer have. i just have a hard time getting the dimensions and make a blueprint that i can print out to start cutting the wood for each layer. but i really love this, almost makes me wanna pay 3x the amount of money it will cost for me to make it in MDF to go get it printet from someone
Once again Pete comes through with some of the best content on youtube. Thanks for making such high effort videos! I don't care much for 3d printing but you make it interesting enough to watch. I'm always along for the ride.
Impressive (again). Well about the printer: I think it depends on your desires whether this is a good printer or not. If you are a technician, this printer is a good starting point. You can gradually transform it to a great printer. The low price of the printer already indicates that this is not a printer that will forfill its promises instantly. ;) . When one needs a printer that just does its job an can print objects this size, be prepared to spend 20 times as much as this one. Once I started with a sub $300 Ultimaker clone. Now is has turned in a very good production machine. But.. At a price. The benefit on the other side is that you learn to know your printer by heart. Which comes in handy when you need to do some troubleshooting. Which will happen. ;). Anyway I enjoy your analytical approach a lot. Your 3d printed Tangband design gives me a lot of pleasure as my favorite couple of desktop speakers.
Another truly enjoyable piece of content. 136dB with a reasonably flat response (where it matters) from a single 6.5in is an achievement and must have been fulfilling after all your hard work. Thanks for sharing 👊
My listening setup: Speakers: KEF LS50. Subwoofer: SVS SB12+. Amp: Cambridge Audio Azur 840A. DAC: Cambridge Audio Azur 840c. All bought second hand from independent sellers and got very good deals on each of them.
Out of a 6.5inch? Damn that's good, We're now 3D printing rockets, rocket engines and houses. Any industry not seeing the writing on the parts and assembly wall, is now dead in the water. That's impressive work. Much respect.
I love this channel so much. Its really cool to me the idea that if my sub and speakers provide a near flat response across the full spectrum, your car test should theoretically sound like I'm really there. Of course my setup isn't quite in the major leagues (*yet*) but its cool to think about lol.
Absolutely unbelievable results from a 6.5" driver. As someone who's recently entered the 3D printing world, the idea of one of these prints failing halfway through gives me quite a bit of anxiety. I can't believe that you just give the design files away. It must have taken forever to create them not to mention how well they work. Thanks again for your quality content. Always looking forward to the next video.
@@gagreeneeee I've witnessed small air leaks between chambers on many of his designs over the years. In multiple cases it made enough of a difference that it was easy for him to model & even predict where the leaks were, even if external to the enclosure.
Future Video suggestion: As you mention in this video your test of infill percentage shows that higher infill gives better results. In Cura you have a setting called "infill line multiplier", what is does is that it makes the infill walls thicker by making the "infill walls" multiple lines. A test of how this effects acoustic performance at the same infill percentage with higher infill line count could be very interesting :) (Keep up the great work)
3d printing is about to change the world of Bass box building as we know it. Way more complex box builds than we could ever hope to do with wood. Even if you cnc and slab build a transmission line. Theyll get smaller and be way louder. Amazing video. Watching as i print the bass section for a home stere tower now! About 5hrs left and hopefully it doesnt fail and i can test it with a 4in dayton audio sub. Then start in the upper with 4 fullrange 2.5in dayton also. Douk audio amps and eq. I use to do car stereo in HS. Kinda brings back memories!
Clearly a professional at work here. The knowledge that he so easily voices and demonstrates by bringing those ideas into existence is just absolutely amazing to me. So great to see such professionalism
Outstanding! Thanks for your transparency, dedication to presenting a quality video, and contribution to progressing the 3D build community . Really impressive build and final result from a 6.5”.
The spaced pair of analysis microphones - I find that the ORTF technique gives a surprisingly realistic soundscape. Capsules 17cm apart, angled 55degrees left and right of “Center”. That would put us right there in the car with you- especially with earbuds/headphones on.
Quick tip. For the JB weld they make mixing nozzles that attach directly to the epoxy tubes. They are super handy to get JB weld into tight spaces. You make some awesome designs and videos!
@@HexiBase just copy what the extruders do. Retract the handle to relieve pressure and it will stop coming out of the tip. They are actually pretty good.
Not only is this incredible design and inspiring as all hell, but the audio quality of this video (redundancy!?!? Haha) is remarkable. Your bass test sounded and felt amazing on my home system. Your voice volume compared to the audio test volume shows how loud it was in real time. Just.....WOW. Amazing job. Thanks for uploading the project, too!
Young man you have a GOD given talent. Your detailed videos are by far the best and being able to share your knowledge with this kind of detail where everyone can understand. Is spot on. 👌 TY
Absolutely love the channel! I see that you're perhaps more car-audio oriented. But as a home theater guy I would absolutely love to see a project surrounding that. Sub, Center, Satellite (L/R/Surr), Sealing ("atmos"). It would also fit nicely with the "big sound out of a small enclosure volume" that seem to be the overall theme of the 3D-printed enclosures.
Listening through Beyerdynamic DT880 Pro's going through a Benchmark DAC2 HGC, but I'm going to have to listen back through this video on my studio monitors and sealed 15" so I can feel it! This sub sounds incredible! I can't believe how smooth the response sounds and how balanced it is across its target frequency range! Love your content and I can't wait for the next Video!!!
That is awesome! I just got done printing the dual 3-inch subwoofer box you designed. Looking forward to getting it put together and hearing it tonight! Going in the golf cart!
Idea: Use tesla valve as a tube deflector, allowing at low volumes to behave as a bass reflex and when power is increased it behaves as an infinite closed box, protecting the subwoofer from over excursion and distortion.
This kind of work is how the power density and tonal output of cheaper and cheaper speaker systems continues to evolve. I am personally amazed at how heavy these small systems are, but how good they sound....
I am so glad you posted the printing times, because I now realise I have no patience to replicate this thing, despite how impressive it is. Saved me a month of my life + whatever the printer cost ;)
I love to see 12" or 15" version. It would INSANE after see this brilliant engineering! I'm a tech guy but soldering And heat guns that's another level, you skills bro!
There’s nothing like your videos. Honestly I haven’t watch a video from you in over 3 years and I regret it but mainly due to not having much time. You are a master sir, I’m normally into spl but watching you makes me want to build a system for Sound quality as the major object. You’re awesome. Thanks for all your hard work.
The thing for me, is I’m an audio guy. Not a printer guy. So my interest would be make wood box design to make leak performance from a small driver. Either way this is cool and worth a follow.
I’m not sure how anyone down-votes or doesn’t like these videos. This is far better then professional content on TV. These are all amazing videos. Keep up the great work!!
YT has a downvote bot problem. Scraper bots looks for videos with a specific view count and downvotes them automatically. One can only imagine the motivation.
Now THIS is a 6.5" sub and enclosure I can get on board with. Normal performance seems to roll off pretty quickly with these smaller drivers below 40hz. Of course, Pete corrected those shortcomings with a good design. Proving once again that enclosure design makes all the difference.
I am curious, if someone managed to build a bigger DBR than what is shown in this video, will sensitivity go up?what happens to Maximum SPL ? In short, is there any sweet spot regarding enclosure volume for a particular Subwoofer? Or the space available ? Is the dictating factor? Thank you 🙏
You just continue to impress more and more with each video. This is your best yet and the results were unreal. I came here from the 3D Printing side of RUclips and have always loved audio too. You just sold a TON of those subs! I picked one up and plan on doing this print with a larger nozzle. Thanks for providing the files.
The enclosure and room make a big difference! With a tapped horn if designed that way it can make a PA woofer that only goes down to like 40hz flat go down to under 20hz. :D
Me over here with my 250liter ported box tuned to 15hz with a like 5mm excursion 15 thinking "WHAT that little thing does that withous even moving 3miles? god damn!" :D
Sir, you are a mad man for having the patience with problem solving for what is pretty much manufacturer faults & we greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much for these fascinating videos, which I usually have to watch multiple times for the information to sink into my pea brain lol. Stay safe 😎👍
If you make it smaller it won't go as low. For most music 30hz is enaugh. Lower than that music is getting a lot more rare. Also you need the right driver off course.
@@getahanddown yup, epoxy resin is an option, although it has an exothermic curing process. Another option would be expanding PU foam, like a fiber boat. I have to admit I don't fully understand the workings of a speaker cabinet, so I'm not sure which would be the best option.
@@thiagoennes IMO you'd want to control the mass, elasticity and sound diffraction. So many options. Pour in rubber, expanding options, inject different densities in specific areas, weighted microspheres in the mix, hollow balls in the mix. The question isn't so much what can you do but what do you aim to achieve?
@@rexxx927 At home for example things have no help from a super tiny space making things louder in wich case a bigger sub is needed. And some ppl just love more and more bass or simply lower distortion at the same spl from a bigger woofer.
The place that makes that printer, is lucky this guy is as smart as he is. I'd be sending that whole thing back a time or three if that's what it took. Sure wouldn't be any fixing it myself !

I listen trough Alesis Elevate 5MKII Monitors crossed over at 80Hz to a ELAC 10" Sub... the demo sounded amazing!
Amazing video quality, nice engineering and crazy loud sub mate. Keep it up!
I wished i knew graphics and computers to make stuff like this audio is always on the market
That is gitting down for a 6and a half👍👍👍
The enclosure and room make a big difference! With a tapped horn if designed that way it can make a PA woofer that only goes down to like 40hz flat go down to under 20hz. :D
This is making more bass in my car than the a song does, that’s crazy. Most videos don’t make bass sounds it’s just klklklklklkl sound
Here I am trying to find a box design for 4 6.5s and hes got just one banging.
Me over here with my 250liter ported box tuned to 15hz with a like 5mm excursion 15 thinking "WHAT that little thing does that withous even moving 3miles? god damn!" :D
Sir, you are a mad man for having the patience with problem solving for what is pretty much manufacturer faults & we greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much for these fascinating videos, which I usually have to watch multiple times for the information to sink into my pea brain lol. Stay safe 😎👍
Holy f... I could feel that bass with headphones! hope I can scale down this for a smaller sub and my prusa
Could probably rotate the vents around a bit to do this on a prusa....
If you make it smaller it won't go as low. For most music 30hz is enaugh. Lower than that music is getting a lot more rare. Also you need the right driver off course.
Love the production quality of all your videos. Listening with Sennheiser HD599 cans and it sounds fantastic.
you could experiment with really low infill and then filling the print up with epoxy! it would be cheaper, faster and stiffer!
I suggested this on a previous 3D print. Pour something in the voids for faster prints and tailored enclosure dampening.
@@getahanddown yup, epoxy resin is an option, although it has an exothermic curing process. Another option would be expanding PU foam, like a fiber boat. I have to admit I don't fully understand the workings of a speaker cabinet, so I'm not sure which would be the best option.
@@thiagoennes
IMO you'd want to control the mass, elasticity and sound diffraction.
So many options. Pour in rubber, expanding options, inject different densities in specific areas, weighted microspheres in the mix, hollow balls in the mix.
The question isn't so much what can you do but what do you aim to achieve?
Mass. Tungsten dust or you're just fkn around...
@@supersteveenglish7340 Osmium or nothing.
Wow one of the best channels on RUclips. This guy should run for President. I would vote for him all day!! Keep up the good work brother
The KEF KC62 looks interesting as well
Pete. Insane production value, as always.
I'd like to see this with a 10" woofer.
445 hours to print this thing - for a 10” you would be looking @ ?? 3-4 times the printing time ? 3D printing has certainly come of age & no sawdust 😀
I'd buy 2 10s off you. I have 2 EVL 10 inch subwoofers that I was contemplating on building a box for until I saw this video.
Why 136 do is good for 98% of ppl
Great job man I am subbed congrats on your success to beat the machine ,man wins today !
@@rexxx927 At home for example things have no help from a super tiny space making things louder in wich case a bigger sub is needed. And some ppl just love more and more bass or simply lower distortion at the same spl from a bigger woofer.
The place that makes that printer, is lucky this guy is as smart as he is. I'd be sending that whole thing back a time or three if that's what it took. Sure wouldn't be any fixing it myself !
Crap you're going to make me need to build something else again! Haha
@@HexiBase Maybe something smaller, like 2.1 PC speakers?
@@ImMortal468 He did the hexibox bookshelf and sub, both 3" speakers. I've printed both and they're phenomenal.
Hatchbox filement is AMAZING!
