Holy shnikes! That goes DEEP for a 3"! (That's what she said).
Kevin Hannon lmaooo
Oh yeah buddy it sure sounds like you know from experience.... Haha krayakray......!!!!!!
Austin Sears I'm surprised your Mom didn't tell you... I'm going to be your new dad.
Austin Sears Oh dude, that was years ago! The state made us stop. They said it was "Illegal". 🙄 What do they know!?
You may laugh
It sounds exactly like the iPad I’m using
Only going to be as good as your speakers. My headphones definitely aren't getting all of it. The bass is pretty impressive for such a small sub.
@@noahpaulette1490 ... that's the joke...
Also, TH-cam's audio compression is terrible.
I'm listening on a edifier 2000db (with no sub) and it seems to be reproducing as deep a bass as I'm comfortable with at home
People are really missing the joke lol
This is probably the best thing I've found on the internet in a long time.
Exactly suited a problem I had.
I was looking for an extremely small sub that fits under my computer desk and that delivers heavy nice bass even at low volumes.
So I printed my own small two-channel speakers and this wonderful subwoofer.
So now I have a compact 2.1 system that performs well with deep bass even at very low volume.
So many thanks for sharing your design.
I'm trying to figure out if I need to put a passive low pass crossover on it. I'm ordering the sub. Did you just let it go full range? Was thinking about a 100hz low pass.
how big is your enclosure?
@@mapoff regardless of what enclosure is in, a subwoofer shouldn't get the full range. A NE5532 pre-amplifier module costs a few bucks, use that as a low pass filter.
Holy shit I didn't even know my earphones could go this deep. This is drool worthy
and theres probably at least 40 hz worth of deeper notes that your earphones wont play
@@dojostarfox4520 need a 15" in the 'Lac boiiiiii
I listened the track itself and this video has way more bass. Would love this bass on every track
Forget what i just said😅 stupid me was listening to the wrong tack🤦🏼♂️
Just use some EQ on the sound, that's all this is doing to your headphones.
Everyone's saying they want to see this for a 10 or 12, but I'd love to see what a 6.5" sub from Sundown Audio or similar could do.
Just viee a bose. Same settup just been around doing itv20yrs earlier
Itd probably hit way harder than 90% of single 10 or 12 setups. I'm pretty sure there was a guy who got 150db on 2 of them
Trevor MTB 60% box
30% amp
10% sub's
There's people who have won comps with Sony xplodes over guys with DC sundown etc
@@lilrich1243 yeah for sure it's mostly the box but still 150db on such tiny cone area is crazy impressive
speakers if properly made they need size to shine, so a speaker from e.g. JBL 3" vs 12" subwoofer speaker, the 12" would be wwwwwwwwwway better as size does matter even if it's the same build quality :D
3 years later I finally printed this on my X1 Carbon. Took only 13 hours total and sounds awesome! I took apart a logitech z313 sub and printed housings for the components that were inside. Nothing fancy but sounds good enough for now.
how would you rate it compared to a bigger sub?
Somebody in china watched this...woo...look this and make 3 million copies!!
haha i am form China and i am planning going to ... BTW i have more than 20 prusa 3d printers

I built one and it is amazing! Unbelievable bass quality for such a small subwoofer. Thanks!

Thank you for posting the stl files. Your a gentleman and a scholar
Do you happen to know how much plastic you used?
Indeed! I love this channel and what they are doing. A true labor of love, you can tell from his dedication and professionalism!
@@HexiBase two pieces should be produced for a truck of mine in two weeks. Have you been thinking to design high audio quality bluetooth speaker? I believe you could make JBL run for its money...
@@lamazver how far is that setup for a truck? possible to get a video demo for yours?
@@vahvelpoiss Well finally today I have got the speakers from USA and one box is being printed as we speak. I plan to run these woofers over the Pioneer DEH-P77MP head unit and use RCA output to run hertz Mille Pro 3 way speakers over Audio System Twister F4-600 amp. And I plan to use two unused channels from amplifier to power up hidden 12" subwoofer under the passenger seat.
But I hope that these micro subwoofers will do pretty good job when ran over head unit...
I remember when you had the first design and people were complaining that you didn't provide the STL. Well, you my friend delivered once you refined it. Thanks for the follow through. Amazing work.
Listening with: Sennheiser GSP 550 connected to Sennheiser GSX 1000 Amplifier
I've got it set in 2.0, that sound is phenomenal for such a little sub, that enclosure is doing work.
Cool way to fit perfectly a sub under car seats
May the car under seat subwoofers, should work better than it
Hahaha. We were building these in the 80s for car stereos. A lot of the stuff I see on TH-cam was actually done in the 70s and 80s it’s just that no one had a platform through the Internet to get it out to everyone. The technology has been the same though. They used to have bass competitions for cars and people built homemade sub boxes like this.
@@Birdkillersteve So you had 3D printer back in the 80' allready?? Nice job man.
@@terot8341 lol
The sound is incredible for such a tiny driver. Really impressed with its performance 👌
It's Tang band. All of their stuff is awesome
This would be the perfect little sub unit for my Yaris. Damned impressive.
man imagine this sub with a tweeter a mid driver in one little box. It would absolutely dominate the portable speaker market
No it wouldn't, this configuration is extremely expensive on the commercial market. only the highest quality enclosures will even attempt to utilize this configuration. Definitive Technology liked to use this but they're not small, not light weight, and most certainly arent cheap.
@@beaumontlivingston8084 materials cost is extremely low, all we need is some more advancement in fast 3d printing
Old bose wave series have been there / done that. Great reviews, but priced themselves out of the market. Like 400$ for what was basically an am/FM alarm clock.
That said, this style of enclosure is fairly inexpensive if made with an injection mold. It just comes down to sales scale to cover engineering and tooling costs. Enclosure would be roughly 10-15$ each if more than 50,000 units were produced.
Now the focus for the key speaker and drivers are where the real price and sound quality differentiators are found. But I'm not going to speculate for this as there are way too many variables here.
...or imagine he _Designs_ an enclosure based on .... the most popular, INEXPENSIVE, drivers. But he is in THE JOB of designing based on these types of premium drivers. (...I know, I know, kinda like putting a ford motor in a mercedes...)
...maybe more like a Lamborghini....
Not going to lie. This man sounds like a younger Doofenschmirtz
ha ha he does,but he made a cool bassinator
Lol 😂
@@420jacksonian ha ha ha ha ha ha, damn you perry the platypus!!
"Hey! What'ya got in that thing? A couple of twelves?"
"No, a pair of threes."
"Come again!?"
Actually could this be scaled up to run with 12s. I know it would be harder to print but maybe cnc milled layers of mdf
LOL
@@TheDtaylor1 I wonder how much you'd have to alter? not just the size, but for other changes to the wave. either way that would be kinda dope.
It may need to be huge to get enough volume though
I thought i was going small with 4 6.5s
@@TheDtaylor1 No it coudn't, as there is no 12" that has the same TSP's as the Tang Band 3", just upscaled. At least that would be pretty miraculous if ther would be. But you could use the same principle to build an enclosure for a 12". That would be pretty big and heavy though.
With the mic in the middle of the room you'll get a node at the rooms resonant freq. It's also why the bass volume increased when he went to the opposing corner and got antinondes
Very impressive. I would like to see this integrated into a car hi-fi setup.
Yeah, I wanna see under seat performance.
two of these in my 370z would be amazing
I think I’m gonna make a couple of the dual driver versions for my Jeep
I was honestly not at all expecting that! Yes there is a lot of bass but mainly it is very rich and emotional! Great work!
Very impressive Pete!
I think this is a no-brainer as a marketable kit available thru Parts-Express.
Pitch it to them!
I'd buy a pair!
I would buy too
Probably not all he wants to do with it yet, I'm sure there will be a tweeter and a crossover too.
Would really like to see this. Maybe with a built in amp and lpf.
But the enclosure is specifically tuned to the sub. Unless every subwoofer is manufactured with the exact same specs - which I don’t think they are - every box has to also be slightly tweaked and matched with a sub.
MSH68 > The only small problem would be manufacturing time. 'Each side takes about 45hrs to complete' so thats 90hrs total print time. While I'm sure Part-Express may have access to larger, faster, print machines, like SLA, that may knock the total print time down considerably would they still be able to produce enough and at speed to match orders? What would the sellable price be after material costs/maintenance costs & time to print, especially compared to the price of the speaker.
They are very cool tho......
What a great power box you made there dude, you seem to be very intelligent and friendly, more people need to discover you as a TH-camr! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This is my first time stumbling across your channel and i 3d print myself and enjoy seeing what other people are making!! This is how you do it this is how you show people the power of 3d printing! Great vid great process exactly how id do it!
Very cool! I love the design. The iPad and recording clearly can’t replicate what you were able to do in your listening room. A great project!
I have cheap headphones on and can hear the quality bass output. Nice!
I'd like to see one of these with a 8-10" sub which is good down to 20Hz @110db!
Hexi’s old videos showed him running a 6” sub in a T-line. That thing fooled a lot of people in his car.
my opinion, nothing it better that a sealed enclosure
@@matthewf1979 Yep, T-lines can be crazy good. You should check out some of Tom Danley's designs.
@@HexiBase Good to hear Hexi.
@@HexiBase Looking forward to it very much. On the same note, you have great taste in music, unlike some of the silly old sloths with their cheesy/sappy Norah Jones/Celine Dion collection that frequents the audiophile arena.
It’s amazing how that small box sounds. I finished building together yesterday and i was surprised! Love it 😍 gonna print more of these
That’s a lot of bass for a three inch
Sub great job man
I have Focal headphones and that sounded really good. Not the bass response you would expect from a 3 inch driver. Good deep sounding bass. Impressive.
Pure genius.. technically, aesthetically and sonically.. When someone does something as good as this, it always makes me jealous of their brilliance. Great work.. :0)
Check out KEF's new Sub 62..... dual 6" that hit 105db and down to 11hz
So thankful you had a dubstep track in there. Incredible....
Very very cool i am so impressed with how far audio has advanced in 20 to 30 years especially the enclosures. I lost quite a bit traction due to being in the military for 2 decades. I am trying to get back into the whole audiophile shoes and I enjoy as well trying to gather as much knowledge as possible from your videos. Ty.
The military put the pause on my life too. Thanks for your service.
Man.. he should sell these. Id pay a good amount for one. Also. I'd like to see one playing from inside a car.
I'd make a wall of as many as I can
thought the same thing. I would have one of these in my car haha

@@everdark8399 18" driver??
@@hjartland ya
on my Sony MDR-V900's running through a best connectivity dac+amp, this thing sounds killer
Listening to this on my Logi Z906 5.1 It sounds amazing, lows are strong and deep and the mids actually get covered well, a tweeter crossed with this to cover the highs would sound perfect
This is actually my third time through this video. My day-to-day listening is done through a reasonably good, compact domestic stereo system which suffices well for casual listening and this cab sounded great through it. So this time I fired up my 'for realsies' rig which is an RME Babyface interface and a pair of Mackie HR824 MK2's and I was surprised even further. The really high RMS, compressed stuff turned to mush quickly but the stuff with the wider dynamic range was really impressive. So much so that I've started to have ideas of my own. Thanks.
That's DEEP AF. Also you a gentleman for giving us that Stl file. Thanks
Very cool! Would *love* to see a scaled-up design, running a 10-12” driver.
@@HexiBase or, you can teach a man to fish... Can you please make a tutorial on how to design an optimal transmission line?
18 inch Sundown lol
Dang... 10/12" would take a pretty big enclosure.
HexiBase - Particularly, this project’s high dynamics and efficiency had me thinking along the lines of a Celestion driver, such as a “Blue-Back” (Greenie or V30 as well).
Why? I’ve demo’d a few “Full-Range” single driver alignments in my days. Was always left shocked at the faithfulness and linearity. *Even more so, the ‘Boutique’ price!* (less costs more, apparently ;-)
Yes, these ‘cabs’ gave up the very tippy-top-end response. But for 2.0 listening, who really needs stretching above 7Khz?...
Possibly ideas from deep left field....or perhaps not.
There's a version available with a 15" bass driver in a 3-way setup. It's called the Klipschorn. The Bose Wave Radio is a tabletop version of the same idea. A number of speaker manufacturers have used this idea since the 1940's. That doesn't take anything away from what he's achieved here on his own. It's just not a "new" idea. And then, some people believe in overkill :) gizmodo.com/horn-subwoofer-takes-up-crazy-mans-entire-basement-5025867
Listening on a pair of Bang & Olufsen H9 3rd gen and I can also confirm that it sounds very clean with a nice deep bass. Nice job!
I'm listening to this on JBL boom Box Set to indoor mode and it sounds amazing. When your microphone was closest to the speaker I could feel the music vibrating throughout my house. The singer's voice was clear and undistorted. Also the base was very deep without causing. distortion.
I listened using both a pair of KZ ZSR's (over APTX cable) and a pair of Koss Pro-4AA's. This is a big improvement over the earlier iteration. It does not ring quite so much and and sounds cleaner. I think this is because of less intermodulation distortion due to less ringing. If you can get that DSP to protect the driver from bottoming out and add a nice tweeter (perhaps one of the Dayton pleated ones) you would have a good prototype IMO.
If you really want to kick it up a notch, perhaps a variable volume waveguide would allow lower tuning at low volume. No clue how to build or control that though, but however it might be done would most easily be figured out via 3d printing. My first idea would be to split the guide at the glue line and put a butterfly valve in one half.
James Drissel no one commented because they can’t beat your intelligence. I just commented to state that fact 💀

You mean audio at small?
@@henryknox4511 😂 took me a second
awesome ! i want 4 of them, under every seat in my car, super stealth mega bass !
I know that's right. I listen to a lot of ENIGMA and sound is perfect.
My exact thought.
lmao, I surely hope u were being sarcastic, ever 4 or 40 of that tiny speaker will be anything but "mega bass" of course, maybe if u were a smurf tho.. so r u a smurf?
@@JonHunter80for me I like the smooth sound, not to tweetery not to bassy. It just sounded good, for the music I would be playing non of which needs hard pounding bass.
Awesome idea!
I just printed this speaker enclosure out and absolutely love it. Thank you HexiBase for the share.
Just for reference, how much would you say the total cost of the filament alone was?
@@TXFoolery You need around 1,2 kg of filament. I printed it out of PETG and it cost me about 40€.
listening on AKG K92s and it is so deep and crisp. It's excellent when you stand back away from the box
Listening through my AKG K52 headsets connected to Artesia A22XT audio interface. Gotta say, felt like i am inside a subwoffer. Clean and transparent sound. Awesome job.
Scale this to a 12” and I’d be interested in purchasing plans.
yes please!
they don't make printers that big
Peter Darr not true, they are using big enough ones to print houses with cement.
@@peterdarr383 it could be separated into 4 pieces for printing.
@@peterdarr383 at the size of a 12" box, you could build this in wood easily. (Wouldn't work btw, you can't just upscale and use a different chassis. You could however design another tml for a 12" driver. This would be absolutely huge though.)
The ammount of bass out of this tiny thing is breathtaking! I heared the Demo trough my M&D MW07 and with my DT770. The bass was just awesome for its size!
@@HexiBase np... do u know how much the print material costs for a speaker this size? because if its affortable self printet speakers could actually become a thing
@@HexiBase what about the smallest possible (sealed + radiators?) For 2" and/or 3" sub, that would still go down low.

Hey can I come live with you franzoli
btw pair this with a couple 2 or 3 inch full range speakers for a great pc media setup.
You’re very articulate I appreciate it. You should experiment with large printer nozzles, .6mm or .8mm, to cut your print times potentially in half. These files do not have any features smaller than those nozzle dimensions so you will have no loss in print quality.
I'd be tempted to make silicone molds of each print, and cast a couple out of concrete.
yep.. stealing this. thank you
concrete doesn´t swing good
@@florian191 thats what you want. :D
@@Alexander85500 wouldn't it be better to use cement? Concrete has rocks and stuff.
@@noahpaulette1490 cement is just a binder, concrete is the set product and can be made without gravel
It's actually more than I expected with 3 inch sub. Great built man 👌
I have very limited space in my truck for a sub, so a design like this that I could put under the seat would be perfect
This is a perfect test for my product I'm designing! Always wanted to know if PLA could work and you certainly showed it does!! Many thanks for such a great detailed video :)
That's some serious bass coming out of that small speaker. It looks very good too.
listening to this with my fidellio's and fulla dac amp. pretty decent man. now to needs some excessive rubber feet so you don't need the foam under it.
print it hollow, instead with infill, use a thicker wall.. then cast epoxy into the PLA cavity or fill it with sand..
Would sand affect the sound quality?
You could just take a mould of the two halves and cast the whole thing in all manner of materials. What would a dense superfine casting plaster do to the sound?

3:09 that sounds thicker than my stone walls. Great quality!
Hi there! Great project its really cool how that small sub can deliver in a properly designed enclosure. Listening in with my M50X's through stereo direct at 24-bit 192 kHz on my sound card, and even with the youtube compression it was banging my headphones. Awesome work sir!
Listened to this on my Surface Headphones and it's amazing.
Soooo, does this scale? It seems like you could have a super compact 6.5" - 8" box that would blow the doors off 10's and 12's in a car.
I’m sure it can be scaled, only limited by the size of the 3D printer you can get ahold of. It looked like his box was the same size as his tray, so its footprint couldn’t get bigger. I’m not sure if he could design it (acoustically) to fit it on that tray with a larger 6.5 or 8 inch.
@@talonpilot since it was designed in halves, in sure it could be scaled and printed in quarters, biggest limitation would be the adhesive used to keep it together.
I was thinking the same thing for scaling, but for a 6x9 instead. It would certainly make my trucks sound much better without needing to go to some specialty sub setup.
@@incredulousd9408 I was thinking the same thing.
It works. I run a single 6.5 inch sub. Hits like a 15.
I can't believe how much bass this 3" driver is putting out. It sounds incredible. I'm listening to this on my PC using my Monoprice Modern Retro headphones, powered via an FX-Audio DAC-X6. It sounds incredible. This would be amazing for under-seat car use. I'm trying to imagine two of these under the front seats. Such low wattage is required, one could probably use a super tiny amp in the glovebox or something.
Finally a SUB I can fit in my Miata with out sacrificing the passenger leg room! Awesome work dude! I'm going to have to print up a pair of these and try them out!
absolutely love your choice of beats. Which you could teach the entire youtube community a thing or two.
I'm curious to know the outcome of the sound if you were to change the direction of the s walls- why make them vertical when you could make them curvature or slanted?
I've missed these types of videos Pete. Good stuff. Looking forward to more.
For the record I was listening on a BIC F12 which is turned waaay down but it still sizzled quite a bit. xD
This guy is amazing! Don't know how I stumbled on this video but I am glad I did! Great work👍
What a great use of 3D printing technology!
Sounds awesome, I would love to see this scaled up to an 8 or 10 inch driver.
Listening on v-moda crossfade 2's
A 10 inch would make the house tear apart haha
Please scale it up to 10 inches and make measurements 👍👍👍👍👍
I have a dayton UM10 in a similar sort of contraption. Big folded bass horn assembled with plywood/screws/glue/etc. Powered by a 1KW crown amp. Box provides pretty good loading down to ~25hz. Sensitivity is very high at ~93dB@1W1M from ~30-80hz.
Hey my dude. If no one is gonna give you props on the V-Moda shoutout, here I AM! They seriously need to bankrupt beats by dre. Only thing I have issue with thier products is the inner cord like to herniate out of the outer kevlar weave; but if left alone it causes no issue, just ugly and annoying. ✌️👍
are the V moda as good as they say? been seeing em and hearing hype on em for a while.. i want a hands on opinion tho.
Hi! I was wondering what did you do with it now almost 2 years after you made it? How's the durability of the enclosure it self if you use it everyday as a subwoofer? Cause I came across your youtube channel and saw this project of yours. It's very interesting. Thank you kindly for your answer or update on this. Cheers!
would love to see something similar to this, that is the one 3 inch woofer and two small mid range speakers in the same enclouser
High end speaker manufactures are watching and taking notes. I wont be surprised if they start making 3D printed speakers soon. As they can make any shape and tweak it to perfection. Just like you do. Well done!
Ya, I don’t think so.
Absolutely insane performance from a 3" driver.

@@enlightendbel It's a very basic principle for almost every design process...

Thanks for your vision , Just got my first one printed , plan on printed a second one with the heavier infill , from an audio stand point the idea of JB may have some special merits over other glue , will try it on my second print . Building a special hybrid amp just for the subs . .
I'm super impressed by those mics. I'm using galaxy bud pros rn and the quality between your recording and the actual sound tracks is very close. Little bit of room noise and hollow ness from the open ness of the room but asside from that their spot on

Bose is slowly clapping in the background.
Lol seriously very cool man.
No highs no lows?
3" sub/box + dsp = better than bose
Bose has been utilizing psychoacoustics and dsp forever to make their equipment sell. Notice I didn’t say anything about how well it sounds. Met Dr. Amar Bose at CES back in 1980’s. Nice guy.
MichiJim C and they are masters of marketing their products towards a certain group of customers that buy based on name recognition. Thats why the advertise in playboy and not in audiophile magazines. And they try to push the “easy use” of their stuff like the lifestyle systems that sound like garbage.
Easiest way to sell Bose is to not play and demo the stuff. Its just to talk about the name.
During all my years as selling and giving customers demos.... i never had a person like the Bose durning a listening test if I didn’t tell them what the product was that was playing
@@romank1099 you could probably make one tuned higher with a Waves MaxBass processor which would "fake" the low notes from harmonics if you wanted more SPL before exceeding cone excursion. The increased harmonic content would muddy the lower notes though, making it sound more like a bass guitar with the tone control at minimum.

Dude, the design is sick! I didn't expect a mini sub can produce such deep audio. I'm only using USB headphones for communication and it sounded so awesome. Made me subscribed. Thanks for the info. Can't wait to build one myself.
Sounds great on my 5' mirage speakers. It almost sounds like I'm walking around the room playing the same song.
This is almost exactly how Bose stereos always sound so good, because they take small speakers and make good enclosures for them. I'm not downplaying your design here obviously, I'm just saying that if you've ever disassembled a Bose speaker enclosure, this is almost exactly how they're laid out.
bose car audio like in my Ferrari F430 sucks we call it BUY OTHER SOUND EQUIPMENT
I'd love to have two of these for my little two seater car, hopefully someone can make these available for purchase. 🤞
probably better off just running a single 8" sub
Your videos have inspired me to model and print a scaled down version of the Paradigm Sub One. It’s a 6 sided sub with 6 speakers. I’m using the same 3in speakers as the prusa printer isn’t large enough to print it with 6in speakers. It’s coming along good on the modeling but printing it in 3rds is going to a challenge. I’m not even sure if it will sound good... but I’m gunna do my best
Listening through Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro (80 ohm), sounds fantastic!
You could add mass by leaving these hollow and filling the void with epoxy concrete (resin and aggregate). You could add a lot of mass by using ball bearings instead of pebbles for the aggregate.
Good idea
Thank you headphones, this video made my ears happy.
amazing performance from a 3" driver! The video didn't convey the entirety of the experience as TH-cam down processes audio and video, but you can sure get a feel for it. Nice work.
Great video. Really enjoyed the commentary and explanation. Thanks for all the effort you put into this
If make same b9x for 5 or 6.5 inch speaker, how deep can it goes??
It would be interesting if this concept was scaled up to a 10 inch sub.
you would get some infra bass notes
@@danascoles1205 what is infra bass? I want to learn a little more and design a nice box for my sub in my car
@@ronaldgonzalez9161 below-audible freq. bass. basically the stuff you feel rather than hear
@@ronaldgonzalez9161 supposedly there is a note in the infra sound range called the “brown note” for reasons you can probably imagine. There are also other frequencies that are proving to be therapeutic for some conditions.
Impressive sound for its size and design.
As soon as I heard how much info he gave and 3D printer,subscribed instantly 👍🏻
I'm listening with my Bluetooth headphones and the speaker sounds incredibly rich with very satisfying bass. I WANT ONE OF THESE SPEAKERS 😢
Me Too !
