He definitely put some time into his entire setup! Love the the intake filter for the fan in the toolbox. This guy is innovative! 🤙
Hey Jacob I use poly fill in my enclosures because it tricks the subs into thinking it's in a bigger box then they are and it goes lower and hits harder. I have the spl numbers to prove it works. Take care and God bless
I use poly fill in all my boxes. I always use sealed enclosures and it definitely helps in a lot of ways.
True story. I'm 46 been using poly since i was a youngster
How about instead of using polyfil to trick it into thinking it's in a bigger box.....why not just build the bigger box?
Sorry poly fill has ABSOLUTELY NO EFFECT on box size or displacement
It literally ONLY helps with " Chuffing "
Aka wind noise your science / theory
is incorrect.
With all things being equal :
Voltage, amperage, ohms, woofers, box
with or without poly fill decibel & SPL
would be the SAME.
Reacting my friend, not thinking. Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ
It’s nice seeing kicker stuff every once in a while I do like the set up but the really neat thing is that center consul that was cool but the best thing of it all is how he has it run to his toolbox in the back that was pretty smart
Awesome system, hell yeah, livin' loud
I only use poly fill for sealed sub boxes for any midrange/midbass enclosure. It’s helped reduce any unwanted resonances that I didn’t want audible from the enclosure reflecting the rear wave back out of the cone
Kicker subs been around for 50 years and still get slept on. If ran in a proper enclosure on good power, they get low, loud and sound great.
I don't us Poly-fill every time but on the enclosures with single 10" sub, I think it adds a smoothness in the lower notes. I think Rockwool works better though.
The poly fill is a old school trick to trick the speaker into thinking the box was bigger,it's been around for 20 something years if not longer, most of the boxes I've come across using it where high end home audio speakers they wanted good sound quality and limited to space
Yep it'll also smooth out port resonances, important for accurate response. If left unchecked, those resonances will cause all sorts of sharp comb filtering dips in the response curve... like 6-15db down at times. No bueno
I dig it!! Good to see a kicker setup make the line up dude, I used to run kicker along time ago and can't complain they do good
Love the set up !!! the air filter was my favorite feature. Keep it Bangin!!
See thru plexi is nice. Very clean all around. Very nice!
i’m a huge kicker L7 fan and I like this setup very much. people don’t think kickers get loud but please believe kickers can get loud and just as low as your favorite subwoofer.
If i had to run kickers id do the L7s those are the only kickers I personally like in 12s or 15s
It's nice seeing a system that isn't sundown
Bro sundown is the shit
@@ardianelias1291I conquer my favorite is the zvx5 or zvx6 the xv3s and U series are great also
I used to use the polyfield map not that shredded version the kind of comes in sheets. Then I went to the ¼" mil sound deadning thermal layer foil backing insulation . Stops the "knock" sound from the box material used in box build. With aero port and good sq equipment, ya be slappin
Poly in a sealed sub box yesss...
I had a layer of foam in a ported box...and tried it for the hell of it...Each build and builder their own master piece...
I used polyfill one time when I build a box and had port noise and did research and found out about the polyfill and I was impressed with results. But I don't use it often
Loved my L7 15s. My buddy had 2 of the 2011 model 15s in 12 cubes 32hz, all the bassheads in the area at our local car show couldnt believe how low they got. Kickers really love big boxes. He started with a DD CM1000, even with that amp the L7s would shake his neighbors garage door like crazy down the alley about 300 feet away being wayyy underpowered. He had a zx2500 after he sold the L7s, reallyyyy wish I couldve heard those L7s on that zx2500 😢
Within the first 2 minutes I knew I would like this system. Great idea with the repurpose console and amazing idea with putting the air filter for the fan intake really good work man👌🏼 as far as the polyfill I'm sure you have removed it by now but if not it is primarily used to eliminate resonance and sealed enclosures it doesn't do anything for you in a ported enclosure really except for displaced more space
I love the stealthness of amps in a truck utility bed box
I use Rockwool. Less cabinet resonances, especially useful in ported full range enclosures (mainly build home hifi) to prevent phase issues in the mid-high range. Phase cancellation from high freq content coming from the port causes all sorts of weird combing. I tune higher, then overdamp. Mainly using HornResp to model response prior to building. Then REW to check port response and make some final filling adjustments. If SPL is your #1 goal it wouldn't make much sense. If you want smooth response, however, Rockwool (Roxul Safe 'n Sound, $50 for a big bundle at any hardware store) is perfect.
I like the way he stacked the mids next to the seat... Very cool.
That's an idea to use on my own system. I haven't in the past years and I had some high spl scores on my vehicles. I just might try that out and see what they will be after I'm done.
I’ve got an older pair of Comp 15s in a sealed inclosure. Dramatic difference between using the proper amount of polyfil compared with the box empty!
What did you notice different?
@@wooleezy318 depth and it got rid of the hollow sound of the small enclosure. They’re at their minimum airspace requirement.
Love your videos Sir!!💯👊😁 Your reactions are priceless!!😆🔊
Thanks for watching!
Bro ur set up looks bad ass nice work
On a sealed box back in the day. 2 12 inch kicker competition subs in a 1990 Ford tempo. Mids and highs included. Best overall system Ive had. Alpine head unit. Lanzar 800. 4 channel. autotek on the highs.
That filter on the toolbox is badass
Nice setup my guy. Loving the three sub setup.
That's a cool setup 👍
Nice clean set up nice vid
Nice repurpose of the electric box 👍
Kicker l7s can get loud but they need to be exact spec enclosures and do not do well over powered. Exact spec ported or sealed and these things will last forever and definitely surprise alot of people
Real nice set up....Bump'n💯👍🏿
Polyfill slows the back wave of the driver, slowing down cone movement....Smoothing out the low end...
im not for sure on this but back 25 years ago people told me they use filler cotton or what ever to trick the sub in thinking the box is bigger i never used it but iv seen some old school rockford 10s series 1s in like a 1 qube per sub and they had insulation and it was hitting lows on some too short it saprized me and i build big boxes but never used filler
Not a big fan of kicker but I really like the system for some reason even with the Distortion in the video it sounds like it is very Musical. It's also nice to just see something different
Yes sir that's good man call him sir that's respect
I can’t use polyfill in my box because I have the back panel out of 3/4” plexiglass. (I don’t want to see it). 2 l7 15” solobaric kicker on hifonics Brutus bred 4000.1 amp
looks like a very neat and clean build.
super interesting build!!!
Very nice setup
You can use the poly fill to trick your sub into thinking it has less total volume and maybe gain Db or 2 lol usually sealed boxes though
The Cold Intake Filter on the amps gave it 30db HP
Depends on the enclosure I guess,I've read that it doesn't help.but on the dat you don't see much difference ,but the human ear can tell a bit of a difference.
I used to put poly fill in sealed enclosures since u can’t really manipulate the tuning
this truck is so dope
Clever use of space. I like air filter. L7 hitting hard not used that often in these videos. Nice.
Track ID of the demo song i love the Basslines also wow i am impressed.
Whats the difference in L7s? Im about to get 2 15s solobaric L7 with a 2400watt Brutus hifonics amp peak power of 4800watts.. will it hit alright? Obv not like this lol
Different models/cosmetic/motor/ratings. You’ll be good with that amp and sub combo 👍 thanks for watching and subscribing for daily videos
Ive been in Vehicles that were so loud, I couldnt breathe, my eyes watered constanly. How can he sit in this truck if its "so loud"?
I use poly fill in my home stereo sub boxes to take the hallow sound away for movies / rock music. If I was only going to play bass music on my home stereo, I’d leave the poly fill out
Nice job 👍🏾🔊🔊
The air filter on the fan is genius lol 💪🏼💪🏼🦍
Was a nice touch 🔊
What songs where u playing I want to see how they sound in my car
FYI, I always include in description; Song: Carousel-Chingo Bling

Poly fill/Cotton batting, is recomended for SEALED enclosures. If using in a ported enclosure, again= NOT RECOMENDED, use whole sheets, glued, or stappled to the enclosure, away from the ports, as loose fill, can, and will cause port chuffing, and get into the motors of the subwoofers. Fill, should be used when you want more acoustical damping, or when you are limited on enclosure volume. Poly fill/Cotton batting, works better in smaller enclosures using 1/2Lb., to 1Lb of material per cu.ft. Many tests have been done, showing the enclosure resonance will lower, and make the woofers "see" approx., 20% to 25% more enclosure volume, in small enclosures. This volume % increase/gain diminishes as the enclosure gets bigger. Hope this helps, have a great day, and HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks
A lot of people sleep on these kicker l7 subs..with the right enclosure the l7 l7q and especially the l7r sound amazing but remember right enclosure and a good amp like Rockford fosgate jl audio crescendo NO skar planet audio ect
I love L7s grate video
Thanks 👍
It looks like Kicker is still king 🤴
I can’t wait to have the availability of the SOLO X I wanna do 2 15’s of those in a 6th should be mean.
No poly fill if i did it would only be in sealed boxes that are a Lil smaller
Sundown audio 👊✌️
Thanks JV for all your hard work, time, video, audio, tutorial, commentary, demo & editing 👌
Love the build & owners design elements.
Many audio enthusiast mistake poly fill
as displacement...Total B.S !!!
It's ONLY true benefit is to cut down on
air pollution aka " CHUFFLING "
Poly fill will NOT help with higher decibels or SPL.
If this was true EVERY SPL competitor
would use a 💩 load of it in their enclosures. Home audio & home theater use poly fill exclusively to cut
down on CHUFFLING. Concerts &
concert halls do NOT use poly fill because outdoor concerts play open
into mother nature EX: wind, weather, road noise, trains, planes.
Concert halls / auditoriums walls & ceilings are built to absorb some sound
waves & accentuate others.
I would like to know the name of the first track .
th-cam.com/video/UvwqtTfpj-8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=W8kdZkPY0_eKXr_p
MB Quartz 10 RPL are sealed and .6-.9cu' with alot of polyphil recommended, butI run them in 1.25cu' before displacement and sealed and still use polyphil, makes the sub act like it is in a bigger enclosure and sounds clean vs no polyphil. Never used it in a ported enclosure. Polyphil is supposed to be used in small areas recommended specs are to big for the area make a smaller enclosure and use poly will sound closer to a normal enclosure.
I would really love to know the name of the first track he played! It would be greatly appreciated if anyone could let me know
th-cam.com/video/UvwqtTfpj-8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=W8kdZkPY0_eKXr_p
I do not prefer poly fill, if u are using a properly made box it should not be needed and as you can see it takes up air space which throws off your calculations. I believe polyfill may help a sealed enclosure which is something you don’t see anymore for good reason
🤣
I did on my pioneer 12s
He's ready for when the solo x comes out 🫡
This nice
I like how he said “give HIM a like”
I'm confused on the blue port thing, what's the point of that? I've been outta the bass scene for awhile but I'm making a come back so I don't know about allot of stuff. I'd appreciate any knowledge and/or advice. How are peeps using these bass nobs (remotes) on amps that aren't made for the amp there using?
The aero port is like a slot port but circle instead. He explained it some in the video. 👍
Polyfil doesn't really affect the overall performance, like you would think, and in some cases it hurts performance. DIY Audio Guy, did a great test on this, and it has no real benefits.
Actually it did improve performance in his limited testing but he said it's not worth it to him. Sony, Panasonic, and Pioneer put polyfil in some of their enclosures for a good reason. Frankly, his test was very limited and to make a broad statement like that throws doubt on anything else he says.
Actually it does. I've worked in car stereo for over 25 years and using polyfil does help the lows. I've seen it proven on meters
@@terrypace2134 it doesn't really affect it at all. Most use it to "trick" sealed enclosures that are smaller than recommend, into thinking it's larger, and It may alter the frequency band by around 2hz +/- at best. I've been in audio as a whole, amd not just car audio, for just over 3 decades, and there have been numerous tests, to prove that it is basically an inaudible gain at best. It might help somewhat, with standing waves, to control the cone...a tad, but not much.
@@c0c0asauce I just used Justin, as an example. There are plenty of tests done over the years. None have any significant gain, to using it. Fisher, Kenwood, uses it as well, as many other manufacturer's. They typically line the back of the tower, with a mat form, to reduce staving waves amd or to reduce resonance due to a cheaper and thinner material used on those enclosures. It does very minimal acoustically, and there is no real gain. After 30 years of doing oem work on many drivers, and working with all type enclosures.. it's a waste. For sealed, you'll need around 1lb or so, per cubic ft of enclosure volume, to net any measurable affects on a graph.. and it's minimal at best. The ear, will never detect a difference. And, in this particular build, using those Kicker subs, he is already at or around optimal enclosure volume, so there's no need to "trick" the enclosure to seem larger. In fact, it may and or actually hurt the sub's used, by reaching their xmax quicker, on the power used. It depends on how that enclosure would graph, with that amount of power, and the lower tuning.
@@Chuck_Sanders Where do you draw the line for what's worth it? I'll take a 1% gain when it costs next to nothing. With a sub-optimal enclosure it can make all the difference. No one says it doesn't work. People just say it's not worth it to them.
no poly fill open boxes only
Kicker subs love big boxes
Warning : Sub bass excursion 💯💪
How many db? 148?
My guess around 147-48 burp
I honestly think it it would sound better sealed
i fw the setup but he went a little over board with the paint splatter
He did a great job getting rid of unwanted vibrations this is awesome
Why use polyfil when u can just get a the right box made for your subs. I never used it
Love my Kicker sw
Same my l7 beat
I didn't know people still used poly fill in their boxes
Because polyfil or cotton is used for make the bass soft from subs
Highly underestimated woofer. And they are better in person
KICKER is really underrated, I think im going to build a Kicker Kia
cus most dumb ppl fail to make a actual good box 🤣
No i refuse too. Or paint wood only
I think polyfill is unnecessary and it doesn’t improve anything enough for the price point.
.....are we kicker or sundown......
Neither
The owner didn't expect them to tear up his car either 😢
Polyfill kills bass. It is more for sq. Dude ain't got enough power for those subs. A lot more power is 100 times better than a lot less.
Are you ok.... do you need a hug🤣🤣🤦🏿
hell bent on destruction, why'd you wreck it?
If you stuff the box it will act the box is 20% bigger than what it is.
He did not have enough poly to do anything he should just remove it
Vill not ford
Kickers are the best.
I only use ppolyfill whever the enclosure is smaller then what the sub requieres when ported...
But whever you have enough space you dont need it..
What it does it slows the frequency reflexes inside making the sub think like the box is bigger
3 subwoofers in that small ass cabin and still no air movement 🤣 Kicker subwoofers are garbage for the price.
