Just got this video in my suggestions, was expecting some idiot but finally someone who actually goes about and calculates the size of their box, great job dude
People need to do this more often. Being off the ground like that can change how the bass sounds just like the port on your box. You may really like that extra boom.
Hey its amazing to see that you're still replying to comments. Very informative video. Can you please explain why did you put the cotton like cloth inside the box... Does it improve the bass or something ?
You the only guy that does build speakers properly ... No nails -screws or other shit..Pure glue bonds-tight -up to measure .Pity you dont use more quality speakers - but those are hard to find these days
@@cocosloan3748 using screws its too expensive for mass production when you glue, you only glue the thin surface of the wood. when you have massive air displacement you have to take that to consideration. but for most home speaker i agree srews is not required.
, very nice work, very professional, very good components, nice cabnet. perfect driver choice, love love JBL. All in all, I give 5 "twinkies"!!! perfect job !!! except for the puppy, amplifier ( mishape ) but that happens, lol. I have a German Shepherd and everything I do, she is right there with me with her nose literally in everything, extremely curious. dogs are great companions !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Tim. That was an inspiring feedback. My first plan was to use a subwoofer driver for home audio use but can't find any 8" with a single coil having 4 Ohms so I experimenting using a car subwoofer speaker. Well, it turned out to be sounding better and louder and is very efficient when paired with the factory specified 4 Ohms class D plate amplifier. On the other hand if you watched my other videos, my other dog is a Belgian Malinois cross, and her name is Kiki. She and the little black puppy roam around a lot! She's not around in this video because she's in my girlfriend's house far from my place. Cheers!
That is one good looking subwoofer you've build there! I've just finished my first selfmade subwoofer enclosure, now I only need some inspiration on how to paint it. I love when people build stuff by them selfes instead of just buying everything!
Came out great. Only concern I have is the poly fill. You should never use it in a ported box. It will go inside the woofer coil which is very bad news. I have seen it happen.
Nicely done, quality build! But bass port looks awful, I would go for bigger and longer one and 46Hz seams rather highly frequency for a sub, -3dB on 43Hz is really weak performance, driver fs is 41Hz you could tune it at 40Hz or lower to extend bass response.
@@haziq90 look at the fs of your driver. Tuning should be around that. But it depends, if you want to build an infrabass, tuning should be very low, if you want ro build a kickbass, tuning should be very high. And if its an allround-bass, tuning should be ~36 to 48... The specific tuning depends on your usage, the drive itself and how big / loud you want the sub to be. You can only pick two of the three following things: efficienzy, size, deeper bass. So you have to compromise...
I use Bass Box Pro 6 for my projects. Vent size should be the minimum size that will keep the vent air velocity low and avoid vent turbulence noise at maximum excursion Xmax. Just type in Google Subwoofer Vent Air Velocity it will give you plenty of knowledge.
@@Hoaqxin that is why it is very important to choose right driver for your application. I don`t believe all "around-bass" tuning. Big role plays music genre will be played on the sub, for hiphop tune it as low as possible but for dance music 45Hz will be relatively ok and for rock music closed box (for those tight kicks) or open baffle (live sounding), but then sub is only used to extend lower frequency and all higher midbass from 60/80/100Hz-150Hz etc will be covered by bookshelf/floorstand speakers need to balance every part of your system. Efficiency I would chose only if I want to go loud as possible without thinking about quality/freq response (be honest we rarely are listening our sound systems to the max volume) I believe there are drivers that can do everything but comes with high price. (Always check Qts parameter). Size is the big one - you need to compromise here. Extended bass in my view is the main thing to look for.
@@JanisAbols3000 yeah, extended bass is great for hifi and home cinema. But for PA, you may want to choose efficiency, as you dont really "hear" the quality-difference between an 7/10quality bass and a 9/10 at ~120db. Best set-up there would be an infrabass for deep bass, a kickbass for the "higher" frequencies, and tops... But thats only possible with a high budget, measure equipment and a dsp.. So most small setups just use one type of subwoofer. Typically 18" and if they reach a f3 of 37-43Hz, i would consider them to be "allround". They play your normal edm, disco tunes and they can even play hip hop.. They're inbetween infra and your kickbass..
how are you brother as I do to ask for that amplifier I think to build one like you are but I searched for that amplifier and nobody gives me reason to have it
Check out Banggood or Aliexpress and search for "subwoofer amplifier board". There are many choices available there. This particular amplifier is AIRS PW-280.
@@chrclmnky thank you very much bro truth did not know how to enter the store to find the one that best suits me .. I will definitely make one like yours was great ... thank you very much greetings from Peru
dude. doing everything very cool. but in some places, maybe they just did not get into the frame, I do not understand your actions. Why did you put a box from the inside with a soft material in a phase-in-inventory design? and why you use such amplifiers. I wonder what it plays and almost do not show. Khatya I'm sure that is not bad. doin pretty cool. you need to make more complex design.
Great job. Beautiful work. Maybe I’m OC, but it’s always bugged me that subwoofers use the bass from both stereo channels to drive one speaker. I’d want a subwoofer with two amps, and two drivers in two connected but separated enclosures with two separate ports. There are subtle differences between the stereo bass tracks in a lot of music. I think I want to build something like this X 2, back to back.
Suggested port size in JBL owner's manual is smaller than what I put here. Do we have to argue JBL or Mr. Harman himself for suggesting such small ports? And by the way, the box outputs just fine even to massive and heavy below 30Hz bass boosted hiphop songs and stuff.
@@nilsuhlemann7421 yeah but just 2hz below the tuning frequently and it a tornado if the port is not big enough. But bigger port means bigger box. Some 5 inch book shelves speaker that have bigger port that this. Do I have to argue with JBL , yeah , the brand name has nothing to do with the product.
Great build! One small suggestion: the screws holding the driver in place should be non-ferrous metal. I didn't do that on one of my builds and almost ruined a pair of expensive ribbon tweeters. Every time I took the tweeters off, very fine pieces of metal would come off and lodge in the magnet.
On cone driver's this doesn't matter. It could only have an effect on driver's where the screws are right next to the magnet. Even then im not sure if you could hear the differences. If you mean because rust... Yeah i wouldn't want to have rust on my speakers.
@@kaedeschulz5422 No, I'm not talking about an effect on sound. If you unscrew the driver a couple of times, say to work the x-over or to check wiring or stuffing, you can flake off small bits of metal from the screw head. If it is ferrous metal the bits can get drawn into the magnets and cause damage. That's what happened to me and ruined an expensive ribbon tweeter.
Would you make a video on the tools, accessories and items needed for beginers to start building their own projects? Looks really fun and you make it seem so easy, even though it's not..
Thanks for the feedback Jeff. Those noisy cocks in the background are from the neighbors who do a lot of illegal cock-fighting. For me it really sounds gay. LOL
There are some ventilation notches on the back of the amp plate so needed to enclose it. Bass pressure will go out there and will break the frequency resonance.
Fantastic work man!!! I hope to one day be able to build my own boxes the quality that I have all the tools except for the computer software to help me with a blueprint I think that's why I'm struggling so much It just never seem to go right for me
@@chrclmnky thank you for the reply and suggestion of software I most definitely I'm going to get it. do you have to pay for it? I ask because I'm really just needing a one-time blueprint. I have a Sundown 15 SA D2 on a rp1500.1D @ 1 ohm in a 03 Honda civic coupe I would almost kill for someone to give me some suggestions on what kind of box and tunning to go for because this crap box I'm using so disappointing

People need to do this more often. Being off the ground like that can change how the bass sounds just like the port on your box. You may really like that extra boom.
Stuffing the enclosure (even if it's ported) makes a huge difference in bass quality. I use rockwool in my box every time and i'm never disappointed.
It really does help with that ugly port sound in my experience.
And "softens" bass. It's warmer and thicker. I can't describe it in words but it's really different
this + the previous speakers = full system . cool stuff bro
Yes Sir, complete 2.1 system. Thanks for dropping by.
He visto todos tus vídeos y tus trabajos siempre me han gustado mucho, muy completos y profesionales... Saludos desde México, nice dog.

Hey its amazing to see that you're still replying to comments. Very informative video. Can you please explain why did you put the cotton like cloth inside the box... Does it improve the bass or something ?
Hello Hardik, the polyfiber fill makes the box appear "bigger" to the subwoofer, therefore producing lower notes.
You never seem to disappoint me. As always another great build.

Congratulations on your new build sir. Building and hearing them for the first time is very satisfying than buying. 😃😂
Cute doggy 🤩
Down firing subs scare me, I never know what their thinking! .. AWESOME BUILD
Nice work..
I have a doubt!
Why you used the subwoofer on down?
Whata the difference?
Which is best ?
Theoretically, subwoofers firing downwards will bounce sound against the floor, making the output louder in the process.
I have my sub dowm fired. This looks cleaner.
All of your builds look so clean I wish I had the tools to build a box like yours
Came out great. Only concern I have is the poly fill. You should never use it in a ported box. It will go inside the woofer coil which is very bad news. I have seen it happen.
Fiber fill and fiber lining are two different things. Go ahead look it up.
CHRCLMNKY oh so that won't fall apart with all the turbulence from the woofer. To each their own. Great build.
