@@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!
I’m a 52 year Retired old school car audio installer ran into this channel, amazing job very creative you youngsters have so many resources,I had to use scientific calculator and a RTA wish I could use this technology back then .
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
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.
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 :)
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!
@@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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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
@@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.
I bought a Makergear M3ID on a refurb sale a couple years ago as my first printer and boy does this video make me glad I did. It comes fully assembled and I have only had to level it a few times in the couple years I've had it. It is massively more expensive than this printer, but it's also made in Ohio, and the frame is fully steel. Definitely recommend it for people that have the cash to spend on it and want a foolproof independent dual extruder printer.
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 👊
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.
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.
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”.
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.
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!!!
Man, I was stunned and amazed by the kind of deep bass it could produce. This is very portable and cute. Thank you. Can't wait to own one because I love music
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
This sounds louder, better, and deeper than my 12 and 15 inch subs that share 800 watts. I know I shouldn't blend sizes and brands, but we all start somewhere! 😁
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 ;)
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.
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!
I've used SAS products for a long time. Not the best sounding but certainly not nearly as bad as some off the shelf products. I have one in my new car since the factory sound system isn't bad but lacks even if it does have a sub which functions more like a mid-bass. Even with only 50 watts the gain is very low, it will easily out run the stock system. I think this build is something I will try myself. As always great content Hexi!
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.
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)
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.
17:57 to 18:57.. what IS this track? It's been on other videos of yours. Please tell us what it is and where we can get it from... pllleeeeaaaasssseeee
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.
@@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?
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!
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!
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.
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 🙏
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
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.
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.
i can feel my jaw trying to separate itself from my skull, in a bass pleasant way. glad i got to test out half vol on my headset finally without the mids and highs destroying my ears XD
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.
@@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.
Awesome content friend. My mind is still soaking it in as always so yeah. 136db is awesome on the footprint. Ive never considered my audio projects not being huge. I like a diffrent perspective fosho. Listening gear. 1. Dj PA 4 Rockville 18's on 2 7,000watt amps, 4 rockville 12's On 3000watt amp Through rackmount gear. 2. Car 4 Skar 10's Isobaric enclosures 2 Ignite 3000 amazon budget gems strapped at 1ohm.
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.
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.

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...

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!
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!
how long it takes is nothing as cool as 3d printing
3d printing is simply the most interesting tech
this box is so different i love it
This takes the "what's in trunk videos" to new level. Amazing work, Hexi!
That little sub goes hard. The bass notes are defined crisp and unmuffled
That is amazing. 136 from a 6.5?! Great job man.
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.
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 🙏
@@HexiBase I got it. 👍 Thank you once again.
My jaw hurts from your channel dropping it so much. Top notch content as always
Absolutely an amazing build. I really admire your skills brother!👊🏼
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
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.
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.
Well done and designed. You need a faster 3D printer so that we don't have to wait a month for an update!
i can feel my jaw trying to separate itself from my skull, in a bass pleasant way. glad i got to test out half vol on my headset finally without the mids and highs destroying my ears XD
The dude is so smart I feel dumb after watching his videos
for real
@@bdc211 I'd like to get him high one time
Every time. But it’s so cool!
@@Psy6o oh man somebody send him some gummies! Time for a present!
@@johnnycorn7225 he is the man
off topic but it is nice to come back to this channel after 6 years and still seeing yall together and well
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.
Pete- You videos and content are excellent! Always look forward to new postings from you. Keep up the great work!
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.
Awesome content friend.
My mind is still soaking it in as always so yeah. 136db is awesome on the footprint.
Ive never considered my audio projects not being huge. I like a diffrent perspective fosho.

You, my friend, define “Next Level”
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.
Really wonder how the build would perform with some constrained layer damping material inside
I bet it would smooth the response over a bit and really help with the roll off below 50hz
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.
Amazing! Any benefit to lining the plastic interior with felt or some soft materials? Are the plastics shaping the tone?
@@HexiBase yeah dont leave it in the car on a hot day hehe
@@mwint1982 When I was a kid, I had a plastic pair of binoculars ... or rather I did until I left them on the back shelf of Dad's car on a sunny day ...
Would pteg plus be better for sunlight in the back of a car
I listen trough Alesis Elevate 5MKII Monitors crossed over at 80Hz to a ELAC 10" Sub... the demo sounded amazing!
The KEF KC62 looks interesting as well
I used to rock a Samsung SPH-i700 windows mobile smart phone way before smart phones and your comment cracked me up. 😂
Sir ...what you think about 3d printed diy bluetooth portable speaker .......by tang band W-31876S .....
@@HexiBasethat's great ... we are waiting for your video ...👏👏👏
Love the production quality of all your videos. Listening with Sennheiser HD599 cans and it sounds fantastic.
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
Pete. Insane production value, as always.
