Just admit it Peter. You are from the future. Untouchable professionalism
You know, I'm tempted to believe you if I hadn't seen the birth certificate myself! 🤣 Cheers!
$50 in drivers, $4k+ in laser and accessories. Love it. 😁
Awesome build, you should market those. They'd make killer desktop speakers. Put a few LEDs inside and the gamers would eat them up!
Nothing better than startin out your day to a hexibase video. Thank you for this gem.
It's really hard to believe that those sounds are coming from a 2 inch speaker. WOW. Thanks for sharing
The power of horn loading
2.5", but yeah...
This takes "Guess what's in my trunk" to a whole new level. Ahh, the good ole days.
You really are a whiz. It’s fun watching you do what you do. Also, your wife is a keeper..helping you with your hobby/passion.
I dont know if this is just me but it was very helpful when you talked during the demo to give more context to the volume and hear just how loud these speakers are getting. Great video!
This is really impressive and the total opposite of people who just put big drivers into badly designed enclosures. Takes way more knowledge and ingenuety to build something like this. Exactly why i love your videos.
You are the Bob Ross of schilling
When the love of your life is also your shop assistant, only good things can come.
Massively missed you, glad you are back!
The first sound demo sounded a bit weird but the room listening really brought the speakers to life. Insane from such a small driver. The "Room" that Sophie was stating was dead on. Then the car test stunned me. So smol yet so much power. They do say the smaller the thing the more louder the personality.
1st demo almost like out of phase !
Something like these would be cool to have but I don’t have $3k laying around for the lazar cutter. Any thought of selling these in kit form?
Can we get the lightburn design file to cut or an svg? Which driver did you use?
Wow, absolutely impressive - your setup is missing a CO2 fire extinguisher, and remember to always keep wood/mdf cutting dust or condensate from acrylic laser areas ! That's a huge fire hazard.
Very cool laser !
Never in my life would I have thought someone would be able to run a pair of 2" subwoofers in their vehicle. I've been an car/home audiophile since I was 13. I am now 51. Step up to 4-4" run by a pure 100w rms amplifier @0.05%thd. Transmission or horn loaded enclosure with fiber optic lighting built-into the enclosure common chamber. I'm just wondering how small of subs/amplifier and enclosure it could achieve 135 db? I see your gf/wife helped which makes the project much more enjoyable. Keep playing/thinking outside the box. No pun intended............isobaric, 4th order motorized port FQ enclosure. Awesome video.
Awesome video, always glad to see Sophie in the video 🙌
Always happy to be here!! Cheers! 🥰
Dude the song selection was 11/10 you never stop to amaze me. Much love from Texas 💪
That is some incredible output from 2" drivers, horns are magic, there's no other conclusion
You are the kind of maker that I need as a neighbor so I could come hang out and learn new things! :)
I've enjoyed watching your many various builds!
Once upon a time I made cases for a pair of 12" loudspeakers. Each enclosure had a volume of 160 liters! I used an ancient JBL Speakershop software to compute parameters of the acoustic system. They sounded outstandingly, but i moved to another house and couldn't get them with me, so I gave them away to my best friend.
Always amazed by your knowledge with audio and fabrication….keep up the great work .
Unbelievable the results, you constantly amaze me
As always world class top of TH-cam quality video, and I tip my hat to your design skills. Most impressive small driver for me was 5F/8422T01 from Scan-speak in 1liter closed, its a 2" driver. I got fooled and thought I was listening to a 5" Revelator, well the song didnt push excursion and more played into its obvious abilities like strumming a guitar, but still it did that with great substance and detail, but like any fullrange it rolled off at the top a bit early. Another is the B3N from Hivi which is a 3" which provides great bas, but breaks up early for such a small driver. Thank you for the immaculate video.
every time you make a new project with a tiny speaker it makes me want to try it. thanks for putting the time and effort into making these videos! and Sophie too!
That's not just HexiBase, that's PlexiBass!
These videos are always great because I am fascinated with audio (especially audio design) and I love playing with lasers! I was listening through a pair of BeyerDynamic DT770 PRO headphones from the headphone jack of my phone and the bass from little drivers really speaks volumes to the design of the enclosure. I may look into getting that laser next, I was super impressed all around
The fact you can hear bass recorded from a microphone played through a phone DAC to studio headphones is kinda insane
Bose uses four 2-1/2" woofers in a large vented box under the floor of the Cadillac CT6. I bought a box removed from a wrecked vehicle and connected my own amp, and it works really well for being so small.
You always impress. The design of the box outstanding.
Fun video to watch! Love seeing your designs and builds! Always unique and interesting, also inspiring!
To answer questions at the end... It's the Bose videowave subwoofer, those were surprisingly good
Keep the videos coming. The production and projects keep getting better and better! I found you years ago with the original 3D printed subwoofer enclosure.
He is back 🎉 good video
I’ve sure enjoyed you and your knowledge and passion ever since the local “guess the speaker size” videos and hair tricks. Beautiful builds.
Another super cool build with small speakers! My most impressive small speaker story; I used the Tectonic 1 1/8" Speaker you featured in a previous build, in some BIB enclosures that I made. They are about 24 inches tall and 2 inches wide. Fun speakers on a small computer desk.
Man, its people like you that make the world go round!!!👌👌👌
Always such a fun time viewing your creative work. Thaks!
Cool project indeed and surprised with in car sub performance. But my favourite is the clear sides design showcasing the horn shape, definitely a cool piece to have in home setup. Well done. And that laser cutter looks proper good too
Had a Polk Audio Swimmer Jr. speaker and was quite amazed how much sound it produced. Nothing like what I am hearing now out of your printed enclosure. Quite incredible for such a small driver.
Now you got me wondering if sealing the horn and adding a 10" passive radiator would add the punch back to the low end response. Beautiful build and good use for the office to fill the small rooms.
I and some other commenters are actually quite interested in the design process itself. I would love to see how you come up with designs while maybe giving some tips as you go. I imagine these kinds of videos being low effort (compared to your usual, super well produced videos) but still very high value for the whole speaker building community, since there is still a lot of bulls**t out there and quite little people with nearly as much knowledge as you. I would even be interested in partnering up, to reduce the workload on you, if time is what's keeping you from producing such videos. I am starting a small video production company in Austria so if you are interested feel free to get in touch by answering to this comment!
I'll take a hard guess and tell you that its 1.2 meters (around 4ft) long canal starting from 1.4 liter (around 0.03 cu-ft) compression chamber with 2.4cm (1 inch) opening and ending with 8 to 10cm (4 inch) diameter mouth. The diameter means round shape, you can "press" it to square shape at your will as long you do not change the area square units.
ive said it once ill say it again: you never disapppoint.
also to summarize my first impressions: "dude what" and "holy *** thats insane"
To answer your question smaller speaker that impressed me used to be the Genelec 6010a but now it is the IK Multimedia Iloud micro monitors
I am very happy to see you still doing youtube. I followed you back in the vlog days.
I loved every part of this video! Greeat editing and production skills!
Thank you very much for your great work.
Very impressive as usual. Thank you for the video!
You’re awesome! Been watching you for over 5 years. Sucks some of the old videos are gone
Your videos make me reconsider what's possible
@@HexiBase will do lol
Awesome vid! Those 2in drivers are crazy! Superb horn design too.
They look sooooo awesome.
Brilliant video, I took apart my dads bose wave radio as it always fascinated me how so much sound/bass comes from such a compact unit. it uses 2 small drivers and a waveguide like this. Quite staggering what you can achieve with the right engineering.
Thats impressive! Thanks for sharing
Great job, awesome sounding speakers.
Sound engineer at work. Impressive!
@@HexiBase 👍 May your wishes comes true!
Awesome build, they sound beautiful.
Absolutely amazing - Love your videos, your channel is shockingly under subscribed!
I was about to complain about you advertising a cheap dangerous Laser cutter, but good job, this one is really safe and high quality.
The newest Videos from Makers Muse really show what a huge health hazard the cheap ones are.
I am still at 1/3 of the Video, but I am sure the results will be amazing!
I had no idea you could get that much sound out of such a small speaker, well done sir 🙂
Girl Friend was also Surprised..... if you know what I mean 😉
yes, finally a new episode.
That's phenomenal, waveguide technology is amazing, I had to turn the bass level down on my monitors lol
Keep up the great work! It's been a while since I last watched a video from your channel, sadly I missed out on the ones uploaded 2 months ago. I listed with my Corsair HS60 through a hama USB-C to Aux adapter on my phone.
I'm planning on designing my own speakers at some point, your content inspired me to do so.
Make more videos! As a bass head and audio enthusiast (and aspiring engineer (not audio but the science is still interesting to me)) you’re channel is wonderful! I need more
As always great video Pete. You have come a long way since the team toxic bass days and PWK forum days. Have a good one!
Dude this is so sick man I absolutely love it!!! Fantastic job Pete 👏 👍 so my son and I built a t line for a pair of there bigger brother 4" models and we stuck it in his Ford ranger and we were blown away with the performance he was flexing his doors at 26hz not like a crazy amount but you could see it I was taken back alot!
Amazing. Brilliant.
i was super impressed by the Epique E150HE-44 5-1/2" DVC subwoofer buddy of mine had 5 in his suv in a good sized ported box and ngl it sounded clean
Fun project and lusty laser cutter. Makes my K40 look like something from the cold war. In fairness, it already did look like something from the old war. I've used those drivers as full range speakers in a few projects and they're amazingly flexible, but I never imagined that much bass coming from them, even if not all that low. It's a neat look and a cool party trick. Cheers!
you never fail to amaze me of what you can get out of such small drivers.
But at the space these little babies take up, I cant help but feel that the 4" folded horn is a better use of space.
Great stuff! The smallest speakers I've been impressed by were a pair of OZ Audio 4" drivers...had them in my dash in the mid 90's, and while transferring my audio gear to a new car I drove around with this setup in my old beater: 6 JL 12w1 running on an Orion 2100 HCCA 75hz low pass, 2 OZ Audio 4" drivers on an Orion 225 HCCA with a 100hz high pass, with a single center 2" ribbon tweeter (can't remember who made them) with passive cap x-over...and believe it or not it was entirely listenable! people were shocked to find the only mids I had were 2 4" drivers after a demo 😂.
Yup, that’s a 2” subwoofer! Never would have thought it possible, but I’ve heard 6” and 8” subwoofers that didn’t get that low. I really think you nailed it on the full range demo though, especially with the room expansion. It even handled the highs a bit better than the Tang Bend (sp?) 3” speakers you used a while back. Love the use of acrylic to make the waveguide visible too. Really neat, as I’ve come to expect for your channel. 👍
Learning is fun. Getting great ideas. Thanks.
Nice!! Maybe Next time countersink the screws on the plexiglass: more contactarea and nice and flush mounting.
Impressive for 2” drivers but to be honest, if that space constraint and a 50Hz bottom end are real targets, I’m thinking much more can be accomplished with larger drivers in the same or less space and with a far simpler enclosure design.
Impressive demonstration of what horn loading can do, though. I enjoy watching each and every one of your builds.
true. on the other hand, if weight is considered, not space, this might be the way.
Also, frequency response alone is nothing, as it can be equalized out. Loudness at lows is the primary constraint of small designs. And it's difficult to convey loudness over a youtube video. So i'm having a hard time appreciating how good (or not good?) this design really is.
@@victortitov1740 good points, however, if low weight is a primary objective (in a car for example), eliminating the subwoofer altogether makes the most sense. Also, you cannot equalize-in more driver displacement. 😉
As for impressed with my own DIY per say, I have some large size mid range Sony bookshelf speakers - themselves a good 20/25 years old (linked to my 1989 Technics SU-600 'New Class A' Integrated amp (serviced & maintained). Anyway, the drivers were getting old and sounded rough, and standard, would tail off at around 60/65 Hz. So, I bought had a quirky idea... I bought some Pioneer A6990F 6x9s, bought some 10mm MDF sheet, made a fresh new face plate (cut to size, with a 6x9 cut out, port cutout and painted black to match the rest of the housing), reinforced the bookshelf speaker housing, rewired them with better terminals and leads etc, bolted and sealed the new face plates to the existing chassis, inserted some sound material, installed the A6990Fs and new ports, and now, they sound great! Clear, rich, full, and now tail off around 40hz! I will get myself a sub to assist with getting lower, but what a difference already!
I'd love to see a long-form video essay detailing how you go about designing these enclosures; the software, the maths, and (academic) theory involved. If I remember correctly, you've worked with audio like this professionally for ages, so it'd be interesting how deep the rabbit hole goes when it comes to getting the most out of a space, driver, and enclosure combination. I cannot believe how much presence those little speakers have in that enclosure, especially in the casual mid-field demo. Listened with Hifiman Sundaras running through a Behringer Xenyx Q502USB interface, with a tacticle transducer/bass shaker attached to my chair (scuffed, I know lol).
Oh, and I am insanely jealous of your new toy 😄
I think the most impressive speaker I ever experienced was an 8 inch sub. Power Bass USA xS-84D. I built a sealed box for 4 of these subs in a 2005 jeep Cherokee. I had never experienced mid bass like that but also as a fluke the cabin resonance in that car really enhanced the low freq experience. Total fluke that I built the box just right to experience this.
That profile view of the speaker looks really nice, and the sound you get out of your speakers is always impressive. While not a con the amount of cut waste seems impractical and ripe for innovating on.
I love your content. Great stuff. Keep it up.
Your design is next level! Wish I could afford a C02 laser! Nice work! I would like to see the 2" speakers in a 6th order enclosure! Now that would be crazy awesome!
Thats totally impressive!!!
There are 2...the first one was a 6in subwoofer in a MASSIVE box in the back of a truck putting out close to 120db...second is the beats pill...have ALWAYS been impressed
The truth is that after listening to the Best "Antique" Radio Ever!, I took the whole idea and just played an acoustic booth and did it separately. And it turned out to be a MONSTER.
You should use that same design and use it wherever you want, it's as close to perfection as you can get.
Hexibase is as good as it gets.
If you want a small baffle, go look at that. Best "Antique" Radio Ever! (featuring the Snapmaker A350T).
i rmember seeing more and more 6 inch subs and rmember hearing 8" jl subs absolutly hammer bass out of cars back in the late 90's
next hexi base will make a enclosure for a 1'' tweeter with even longer ports
i seen this and it gave me idea for a spare tire sub in the form of a snail shell tiny speaker at the center top
You are a delightful mad man!.... Love it!
frickin awesome dude!
I still remember what you did with that 6 1/2" Hybrid Tech subwoofer in a t-line enclosure many years ago. That was impressive
I had a Bose Wave Radio from about 1995 or 1996. I used it as my bedroom audio and alarm clock until around 2010, even after the display died. It used dual 2.5" drivers and sounded amazing at just about any sound level.
I still have a Bose wave radio & it does rather well for it's footprint. I remember being amazed by it's sound quality when I walked into a doctor's office & they had one playing music on a tiny wall shelf back in the 90's. I was blown away & made me get one. I have other stuff for music but I always enjoyed it's sound.😊
Very impressive 👏
@HexiBase you should cencor the package inscription for shipping
Your channel has grown so fast
You should be a PROFESSOR !!! Very good presentation and would like to hear this in person. I've always been impressed with your work all the way back to your 6" sub enclosure from the beginning of your channel Keep up with the great videos
incredible. I may try to reassemble your .stl files to make this 3D printable.
Wow.. that 2 inch drivers do work, but definitely not a subwoofer IMO. Next should be an isobaric subwoofer 😍👍. Thank you.
i love my dayton audio 4" woofers. I put 4 of them ($10 each) in 2 cu.ft. slot ported enclosure from MDF. I believe I was able to get it to play down to about 32 Hz. I since then put them in a smaller custom sealed box so that they hit low with less volume. It works better for my system to have them sealed
When I was 13 I bought a stereo from Costco that had 6.5" woofers. It was a Sharp brand 200watt stereo. That was 20years ago.
you need more subscribers, this is quality content
Great video! Btw for me the best thing to make small speaker play "big" was to make them isobaric style, same enclosure volume, +-20hz lower tuning freq., just the group delay is bigger and the outpout is 3db smaller, but i think you have try it in the past :)
Wow. Impressive!!!
Love it I would love to be able to do a folded horn/ wave guide. under the back seat of my 2020 F150. I love the idea of doing more with less in terms of speaker size.
Hii! Really good videos. Ty for that.
I'm planning on building speakers with 3 or 4" full range drivers. No cross over or nothing. Just back loaded horn labyrinth. Currently stying how to use winISD. For anyone reading, resources to study this things would be truly appreciate.
The maker space you are creating for yourself is amazing. Congrats and enjoy!
