You have to be absolutely the Best my G. Never heard it explained like this. I took carpentry in high school just too make boxes for Suzuki Samurai jeeps & Broncos.. you make me wanna get back into the Craft. Peace 73X
You explained both enclosures not only accurately, but simply and concisely. (Moreso than anyone else I've heard) There's so much bad info, inflated specs and misinformed people in car audio, that hearing someone knowledgeable discourse on the subject is refreshing. Nice craftsmanship too, btw.
I can't get over your boxes. Dude you have a real talent for this and being so preticulur about how and what your boxes look and sound like, says a lot about you. I want one of your boxes so bad. Please please make blueprints I would love to build one.
you do great work been building boxes for 30 years was 17 when i started alot of people dont understand how the right box makes all the difference keep up the good work
The man is pure genius, master of his craft and he has the ability to the complex and make it simple to the point anyone can understand clearly. Keep up the good work and I will be contacting you for my truck box.
Cerwin Vega has a ton of horn designs online. They made a bunch for movie theatres while pioneering subwoofers for the first time. They did this for the movie earthquake in the 70s. The theatres back then didn't have subwoofers and Cerwin Vega made thousands of subwoofers with boxes and delivered with those Earthquake films.
Lol this is the exact video you asking for. And 64 likes lmao. He's even telling you how to tune the horn VS schematics of subwoofer sd. I can't believe this comment 😂😂
Glad I watch this brother in 2021, you have definitively directed me to what design is best for my application.. thanks for your time and imparting your knowledge.
First off this is the best channel yet about enclosures I've encountered and delivery of ideas. 💯 Good. I just bought three 12-in stereo integrity SQL 12 s and I'm going with a horn loaded front firing sealed off from trunk enclosure that faces the 3 12s like this if you were looking at them overhead \_/. The chamber they're firing into is MDF on top and bottom of these three enclosures, reinforced. Each sealed in .8 cubic feet for a QTC that's tight and accurate. I was going to go with a front firing sealed off from trunk ported enclosure, with the aero ports ran up through the rear deck loading onto the glass. However,I've always preferred that thump and projection ability with accuracy that the horn produces.
I have a 4.7 cube box with 100 sq. inches of port area for a single 12". It was an experiment and worked quite well. Thanks for the explanation. I am planning on a box experiment using the principles of a "loading wall" and kind of a horn too for a more venue/stage show oriented subwoofer box.
You explained this so well, I can tell you know a lot because you dumbed it down and it actually made sense! Most people seem like they are proving they are experts rather than teaching the target audience at the audience's level. Those boxes look great too.... nice smooth corners
I would love to see what this looks like on the inside. I've tried for a few days now to see a similar build to this with no luck. Would really appreciate if you could make more videos on this
Thanks man. I learned a lot today and opened my mind to bigger and better builds. I love sq that still can do 50s and 60s on the meter. I want to try doing a horn with the new solo x pro kicker l7x 15" or even 18 if they ever get them out and build a folded horn enclosure in the back of a jeep. Loud, efficient and clean!.
This is really really nice damn bruh so detailed! I always thought the horn was predominantly used for large open spaces, I’ve never seen one mounted in any type of car. Seems like it’s way better and efficient than the ported.
Often double 18s nowadays because you can pack more in a lorry. If you need to drive 2 lorries to get the same output from horn subwoofers, then any efficiency gains are negated by the inefficiencies of 2 trucks vs one. If the venue has a low power supply and the subwoofers can be permanently installed, then you get more out of the horns, and spend less on drivers, though more on cabinet woodwork. Double 18s are good at concentrating bass for space, though Danley Tapped horns are probably doing even better nowadays. I've also found 6th order can gain quite a bit in the upper passband for only being 50% larger than a vented box, and that's without increasing the amp power. I did my birthday party in a village hall and had substantial output from 2 12" subwoofers on 600 watts though only turned up about "40% loudness" which actually gives not 240 watts but just 30, for you need disproportionately more power to get slightly louder, psychologically speaking. By placing them both side by side and facing into a corner at close proximity - far more than I would have had placing one in front of each mid/high stand on the same amplifier. The rig fitted in a Citroen C2 and slammed and got pretty low too.
this man knows his design criteria, If you build with Baltic Birch (yes more expensive ply) they will not need as much bracing and you will find you can use thinner ply with the same cabinet stiffness. Charge more for a better product. Your explanation is spot on and the language is suitable for most lay people who don't build speakers from scratch. :) Excellent video and boxes. Nice double baffle on the 8" box good job.
WOW. Thanks for explaining this in simpleterms. Now I know what to do with my ford ranger early 90s!! Going to build around my TERAMPS 3000 HD 1 OHM. These amps are more than a beast. crazy power in a perfect small space. I think I go 2 12 inch sundowns or 4 8s on one side so I still can maintain a seat in the back and storage room. Thanks again for the explanation MB. B E A Utiful
Whats up MB! So what about these different order enclosure? Like when they say 4th order or 5th order? Can you give some insight on these type of enclosures? Man I remember when I first subscribed you only had 100 some subscribers and now look at you! I'm proud to have watched you on your journey and thank you again for helping me! Much love !
GREAT information in your video. Your wood working skills seem at par to your knowledge of horn loading. You gained a subscriber. I agree with you on 8's! I'm yet to try 6's though. Your thoughts horn loading?
Thank you for the video. Question: for HF Mid/Sub Bassbox; 80-250,300 hertz range. Your thoughts on enclosure design in my van. All sizes and shapes welcomed from your experience to hit those frequencies best.
So a horn port for 2/8 will make it sound like a pair of 12s a single 12 a single 15 what would you rate it as soundwise instead of a regular port ? Curious because I have four American Bass vfl 8's and I'm wondering if it'll sound louder or just as loud as 2 15's in a horn box versus a normal ported box
It would be nice to see a graph comparing the two. I use WINISD a lot but I don't recall it having an option for horn loaded woofers. I dont know of any that does? so what is the best type of speaker for a horn loaded woofer? would it be one that also works for an open baffle?
If the ported enclosure gets higher meter results, at what point would a ported pass the horn enclosure in spl? Can you still feed a sub max rms wattage in a horn?
Would two sundown x8 v3 perform better in horn or bass reflex which box would be bigger ? Can these speakers work in both enclosures pros and cons if either
Horn vs 6th order for 8s. I have a dual slot and a 6th order built already. Curious if a horn enclosure would benefit me. Same environment. Same power. 2005 Chevy Trailblazer. Audiopipe Apmi2k.
That's some good shit. What do you think horn enclosure vs 4th order vs 6th order? Maybe a lot to explain, but I'd watch it on your channel and like plus comment like all the rest of your content
Can I use my pair of sundown x15 for a horn enclosure if so how big would the box be. Putting it in a Chevy express conversation van I have already remove third row seat
One of the best explanations I've heard on the diff's between horn loaded enclosure and ported bass reflex enclosure.
I salute you sir!
Can we get a demo of the horn enclosure?
You have to be absolutely the Best my G. Never heard it explained like this. I took carpentry in high school just too make boxes for Suzuki Samurai jeeps & Broncos.. you make me wanna get back into the Craft. Peace 73X

Could you make a video about designing a horn enclosure and hints for the build. Thanks a lot, my compliments for your Channel
That u not going and see
Lol

Can it be made with the speaker hole on the bottom

1 of the best TH-cam channels that breaks everything down to the nitty gritty
Very solid video, thorough explanation. Keep posting more!
I would love to see what this looks like on the inside. I've tried for a few days now to see a similar build to this with no luck. Would really appreciate if you could make more videos on this
man i little bit less accent can make it easier to understand your videos for foreign speakers of english . thx for the video .
Thanks man. I learned a lot today and opened my mind to bigger and better builds. I love sq that still can do 50s and 60s on the meter.

I finally get it thanks to the way you explain it. Cheers mate
Now that explains dem horns, thanks mang, great explanation! 🙌🏾
Brotha, if I had the space I may have went with the horn for my box. Another great vid. Keep it going!
Dropping knowledge for us. Thank you for your videos.
Wish I knew that much about Soundwaves and box building. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Great channel. I really like your content and knowledge level. Future customer.
I found this to be very useful and informative I appreciate your content and keep crashing it brother💪🏾Maryland showing ❤️
This is really really nice damn bruh so detailed! I always thought the horn was predominantly used for large open spaces, I’ve never seen one mounted in any type of car. Seems like it’s way better and efficient than the ported.
By far the best explanation I've ever heard on port vs horn enclosures! Sub'd! (no pun intended :o)
Great explanation. Needed this. Thank you 🙏🏾
I’m so glad you remembered everything i taught you Myron bruh lol. Proud of you homie.
I was always curious on what clubs and concerts used for boxes. Thanks man 👍🏻

New viewer. You really explain things well. Very nice !!
I spoke with you yesterday. I can't wait to try this

Best vid youve made. Awesome job
I had no idea horns could be used in this way untill now. Thank you for this

Great information like always.👍
Your the best teacher ever
Great video learned alot!
My dude if I could buy a horn enclosure box from you that would be dope your knowledge is precious. Love from the HI, Oahu G 🤙🏽
Great video your knowledge and ability to articulate are top notch could you make a detailed video about SPL it would be greatly appreciated thank you
Last year I attempted to build a horned enclosure for 2 sdr 10’s, and I was amazed by the output. Hands down the loudest set of 10s I’ve ever heard.
How did u calculate the box design after u modeled it
I came up with a design for a horn enclosure just to see if I could do it and I love the fact that it plays windows and all down the same as up
amazing and super well explained
Great Explaination. Thank you.
Brother. Deffinantly dont keep it simple. Knowledge is power!
Best explanation yet best.
Just learned something because of your last video I had to look more into this subject.
Good infi Mann, never saw a video describing it in real talk!!!
Boss channel and great information
Nice video bro love it
You got the gift bruh👍🏾
I learnt a lot. Thanks
Thanks. Now I know what the horn enclosure does and why I see them in venues.
This was great thanks man
what this means horn type has wider freq. bandwidth in tuning..? This is one of the best explaination, really love it
nice! well explained!
Hi bro love ur videos
Keep it up
Great video.
Great vid. I learn
Dude I love the way you take the time and explain this shit.
Whats up MB! So what about these different order enclosure? Like when they say 4th order or 5th order? Can you give some insight on these type of enclosures? Man I remember when I first subscribed you only had 100 some subscribers and now look at you! I'm proud to have watched you on your journey and thank you again for helping me! Much love !
thx for explaining the horn, I'd actually prefer a horn or tapped horn enclosure over a 2nd or 4th order reflex for SQ.
This is the same science applied to the old line of Klipsch home audio speakers. A lot of people run systems on literally a few watts.
Didn't know that. Good stuff
This man is magic.
Right on man, thanks.
And dont forget 33hz tune always is the best 💣
Thank for rhis info
thank you for make it simple
Thanks for the info man! Could you show us a vid of the horn in action ?
GREAT information in your video. Your wood working skills seem at par to your knowledge of horn loading.
You gained a subscriber. I agree with you on 8's! I'm yet to try 6's though. Your thoughts horn loading?
Back in the day there is what they call it the Klipsch horn I had one for a little while it was really old pretty amazing too
Ty so much info
Nice looking boxes.
Thank you for the video. Question: for HF Mid/Sub Bassbox; 80-250,300 hertz range. Your thoughts on enclosure design in my van. All sizes and shapes welcomed from your experience to hit those frequencies best.
Interesting information 🤔. Thanks heaps and cheers from Australia! Subbed and liked 👍
Man this dude knows his s*** about speaker boxes
So a horn port for 2/8 will make it sound like a pair of 12s a single 12 a single 15 what would you rate it as soundwise instead of a regular port ? Curious because I have four American Bass vfl 8's and I'm wondering if it'll sound louder or just as loud as 2 15's in a horn box versus a normal ported box
Well done sir
Crushing it !!
It would be nice to see a graph comparing the two. I use WINISD a lot but I don't recall it having an option for horn loaded woofers. I dont know of any that does? so what is the best type of speaker for a horn loaded woofer? would it be one that also works for an open baffle?
Dam in glad I came across your channel. Dam you know your shit! Subbed 👍
Excelent video
Awesome explanation I need that two 8 box for my 2018 accord how can some one get in touch with you
How do you decide if the woofer is good for a horn enclosure?
Easiest way to say it is: Dont use cheap, mass produced, or low end speakers. We're one of the few companies that build speakers FOR horns and Tlines.
Look for the beyma 15G450N. His Parameter are the optimum for hornenclosure
So is the chamber behind the sub hole sealed and then fires into the folded horn walls on this design?
Nice job. I'd like a horn box for two Meso 8s.
Good shit bro
If the ported enclosure gets higher meter results, at what point would a ported pass the horn enclosure in spl?
Can you still feed a sub max rms wattage in a horn?
Would two sundown x8 v3 perform better in horn or bass reflex which box would be bigger ? Can these speakers work in both enclosures pros and cons if either
How can i calculate the tunning for a horn enclosure i might want to do it for my DD715 cause i use it as my home audio sub
What program or calculations do you use to design your horn enclosures?
Horn vs 6th order for 8s. I have a dual slot and a 6th order built already. Curious if a horn enclosure would benefit me.
Same environment. Same power.

My Main Man!
That's some good shit. What do you think horn enclosure vs 4th order vs 6th order? Maybe a lot to explain, but I'd watch it on your channel and like plus comment like all the rest of your content
New follower, just wondering how much does your box usually go for
Can I use my pair of sundown x15 for a horn enclosure if so how big would the box be.
Putting it in a Chevy express conversation van I have already remove third row seat
So for a Ford F-150 super crew, dual 8 inch setup, a horn enclosure would be best? Or rear facing port?
Salute!!
