I'm buliding a ported box for 2 of these p3s 10 inch subs... so would I just double this box size or how would I go about it??? Please please help... ill will pay if needed thank you buddy I appreciate it.
Man, the memories from the late 80's building sub boxes running Rockford Fosgate amps and Cerwin Vega subwoofers. We used to spend Saturday's building them and trying different sizes to see how it affected the sound and punch. I don't want to take up cargo space now in my Jeep (I camp a lot), but building a system for the house would be a lot of fun to do. Got me thinking and smiling cranking up the old 80's hair bands again! Peace! Pete in AZ
I bet that was a cool time to be alive! I hear that, might look into an under seat subwoofer. I installed it in my 4runner to save space for camping and have loved it ever since, installing another in my van soon. th-cam.com/video/6sJp7XVlBPw/w-d-xo.html best of luck! a house subwoofer would be cool for sure
@@4WheelKid It was definitely a good time for music. All we had back then was the radio and we couldn't wait to hear albums being released and played on the air by our favorite DJ's (Dave Pratt on 98KUPD in Phoenix, AZ, for example). I'm going to keep the house system idea for when I get a man cave soon (40' conex box on land near the main house). I have watched a lot of your TW200 videos and will be checking out the van build!
Hello, my friend. Just wanna say this is a great video to learn some things on... but I have two of these subs... so would I just double the measurements??? Please help.. I appreciate it buddy, thank you!!!
Actually wood glue would be worse, it’s hard as wood so it can crack where as liquid nails or all purpose loctite is better because it’s more elastic and takes longer to get as hard as wood glue, so it would be harder for the subwoofer to vibrate it apart
@@TrollsAreUs1320 liquid nails is garbage for building boxes, wood glue is much stronger and wood glue will not crack. Any flex in the joints (youll have much more flex with loctite) youll lose output. Never use liquid nails to build a sub box.
I promise you from experience, wood glue over time will crack it gets too hard, otherwise he would use that only, that’s why he uses the liquid nails as a sealant not as to hold the box together. He’s using screws to keep it tight and the LN as sealer
@@TrollsAreUs1320 If you build enclosures like me and take the time to get straight cuts there is absolutely no need for liquid nails or any sealant, the glue will be sandwiched between the joining surfaces and there will be no gap. I still have my first enclosure I built when I was 15, going on 6 years now sitting in my garage in all climates. And Ive never ever seen or heard of wood glue cracking. You must have used some terrible glue. If you had proper cure time and clamp force, wood will always crack before the glue.
nice vid. I suppose you could always use two different size boards, 1/2" X baffle or 3/4" X baffle, then 3/4" for the sides, or something like that, esp. if space is limited. Does 3M 77 or another 3m spray or gorilla glue spray work for carpeting a fiberglass box?
I wish someone would tell the guy how dangerous mdf is for your lungs. A dust mask will not protect you. When punching holes in mdf if you are burning board and inhaling dust with fumes with no respiratory protection this is how you get cancer or worse.. When handling clean mdf with bare hands you need to wash hands extremely well after because it contains formaldehyde
yea love it bippy trippy dippy boom dap excuse me while i hit this. bam dam slam m back lets do this box builder here, i say lets have a build off? u scared? prolly not. cam cam sham sham shy me. poop

I’m glad to know they’ll fit in my 4 runner ;)
it will for sure, I just have an under seat sub in my 4runner, this one went in my bmw
Damn this video rocks, easily the best on TH-cam. Makes me wish I had a P3 so I could just copy you lol!
hey thanks! glad you enjoy it, the p3 is a nice subwoofer haha, any subwoofer is better than none
Great video brother...very very very well done 9/10💯💯🤝
hey thanks! glad to hear you enjoyed it
Enjoyed video alot, very informative bro...
Glad you enjoyed!!
Hi, I have a 10" 600watts subwoofer..is it okay if I ask a help from you. I wanted to do DIY, can you help me with a ported box dimension?
Dimensions in the description
Nice job,, you do however need to round over all interior edges of your port.
thanks! not a bad idea. a trim router will do the trick for next time
Can you make one for a wedged box? One for a single cab Silverado or any truck? Thank you!
it's possible, I made one for a truck a while back
Hello, my friend. Just wanna say this is a great video to learn some things on... but I have two of these subs... so would I just double the measurements??? Please help.. I appreciate it buddy, thank you!!!
Nice Job, what model of sub Woofer use in these box?
it's a rockford fosgate p3 10in
Wheather it is suitable for home or not?
will work just fine
Nuce job but I dont recommmend using liquid nails adhesive, use wood glue its so much stronger and will last alot longer than any adhesive
thanks! yeah I have heard it both ways

What is the port tuned for?
Tuned to have free flowing air at a certain frequency.
@@4WheelKid I mean what frequency. I am in the process of building it off this video and I want to tune for around 40Hz
nice vid. I suppose you could always use two different size boards, 1/2" X baffle or 3/4" X baffle, then 3/4" for the sides, or something like that, esp. if space is limited.
Does 3M 77 or another 3m spray or gorilla glue spray work for carpeting a fiberglass box?
I bet you could indeed. might be a bit more complicated but doable not sure, never tried a fiberglass box before
Would you use 1/2 or 3/4 in for a 10 in sub
I used 3/4 on this one by you should be able to get away with 1/2
Quick question will the subwoofer enclosure itself flex from the vibration
not enough to actually see
ask for advice from friends, if the size for Rockford P3D4 12inc,
😅
What’s the HZ for this 10” box?
I talk about it in this vid th-cam.com/video/lqbozJdig3c/w-d-xo.html
What’s the depth of the sub?
6.66 in. (169.3 mm)
Thanks bud.
No problem 👍
How much cu ft is this box ?
1.54 cu ft
Just what I was about to ask. Thanks my man.
How much do I need to leave the port area apart??
I designed mine so the port is 2in wide
Thanks and I already cut all the pieces and I wanted to ask how did you like the box ? Did it work good thanks
I love it! Works great, still gotta edit and upload the final install and test video
bassisgood great I’ll be waiting and it’s a pretty good box in my opinion thanks

thanks, best to be safe, I also don't do this everyday
the bit was “dull” because you used the wrong type of bit..that bit is for steel
thanks for letting me know
Use 850 watt dainty subwoofer bro
already got puch p3 installed
yea love it bippy trippy dippy boom dap excuse me while i hit this. bam dam slam m back lets do this box builder here, i say lets have a build off? u scared? prolly not. cam cam sham sham shy me. poop

Too funny you're using a router to cut the woofer out and a dull drill bit to pre-drill the holes.. proper and Sharp Tools make all the difference
yeah haha, just used what I had laying around. I need to get one of those bit sharpeners
