Nice build, makes me wish I had a CNC when I built my 18" version like this... I loooooove the extension well down below 20Hz on mine
@@nintariplays5654 it does make things a little bit easier. I just like to stay away from all the dust as much as I can. I just got a new cnc, so that was going to be featured on the channel very shortly.
@@Toid One day I'll get one lol I may DIY build one since my 3D printing is teaching me quite a bit!
@@nintariplays5654 I agree! I love 3d printing. Not sure if you saw it, but I just reviewed the Fokoos Odin 5. That this is amazing for the price. th-cam.com/video/FxtNngl9b6s/w-d-xo.html It'll be on the channel when I start doing more 3d print jobs.
Again awesome build I'm about to order me that 15 and I wanted to know what airspace and what did you tune the box at
You think about mixes of technology this day n age, your cutting out shapes of wood with a computer guided router robot then smooth it out it with a crumpled up piece of paper with tiny rocks glued to it...! Lol, nice sub!
Lol, that's actually really funny! And thank you
"if it ain't broke, don't fix it"
My home stereo has 3 12inch subs with each having their own amp. 5 10inch subs with 2 subs in their own box ×2 with 1 10inch in in a box by itself. I also got 5 mids and 5 tweeters as well.. so basically I got about close to 10,000 watts of power just in my house.. lol.. Drives my wife crazy.. I usually have the bass turned down pretty low most of the time but it stills basses like a mofo.. but when I turn the bass up good lord my whole house vibrates and you literally can hear my bass 6 house down from me.. it's so awesome.. Love the Bass, Bass heads for life..
HUGE BUILD! Love the MONSTER, Love the Max-X!
This is a monster creation . Perfectly build....keep it up 👍.love you from India 🇮🇳
Such a great build!
A beauty! Thank you!
Orange was a perfect choice.
Great production video thank you again for great content
Thank you. I appreciate it
From Quebec/Canada. Hi, first thanks for sharing your knowledge, project with fun being very pleasant to see and still learning, well done. For this project, when you gave the measurements, it reminds me my 2 pairs I had in the 80's about the same size, 36h*22large*18 deep. Each had 2x12" + 1x4" mid + 4 horizontal phenolic tweeter with a 3 way 150w phillips crossover. Then I made a small change getting an electronic separate crossover and 3 power amp to reach more power for the bass only. That was like this in those years. Now I can't wait to built one or two subwoofer for my home cinema room with previous idea of yours. Thank you again.
That's sounds awesome! And I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Great work! I really want to build something like this. So far I've built 2 12 in a fourth order and wow its shakes my whole house haha. Keep it up
Love the build! That's amazing. Looking to build a set of the cinema 6's. Any plans on making a build guide for this beast? It would be a beautiful paired set.
The enclosure turned out great dude! Those MX subs are beef
Just picked up 2 massive 15 inch ATC speakers will have to look into some kind of amp for them glad they are on wheels and were even free.
wow great sound😍😍😍😍
Looks awesome. This video reminded why I hate working with mdf. That fine dust.
Great build, thanks, are you going to make plans available? Would love to build 1 or 2 of these
Gluing this together was fun.
You mean watching Ford vs Ferrari? 😁🤣
Love the CNC Nick, next project have a look at 3D operations, you could get some really nice geometry on visible panels that way, it can end up looking really cool.
I plan to. I have a new CNC that I just finished setting up that will handle that much better. In fact it's on the forum, go ahead and check it out under the section of 3D printers and CNC
Very nice! Didn't know French's Mustard work well as wood glue 😄
Haha! My favorite 😁🤣
Grey Pupon has better adhesion
hello toids i would like to buy the construction plan of the mx 15-22 that you made but i can't find it on your website.
Hello!!! do I need low pass crosover ? or plug it straight to the power amplifier?
cool to see the MaxX line in a build!
well done. nice build.
Thank you
Do you have plans for this? Have you considered offering complete 5.1 & 7.1 plan packages?
Hi, would this woofer works good in a 3 way floor standing speaker ? what is the volume and tuned F of your box, thanks !
Hey! I would like to build two of these myself, but i cant find the plans on your site? Thanks for all your work, great videos!
Sowing off with the CNC machine! lol Great video!
Lol, if you got it . 😁😂
He is always "Sowing" off.....
Nice! Any feasible way to make it an active subwoofer?
Hi toids so i have a Sundown X15 home audio setup and i am looking to boost some output via new box designs BUT i have realized that Basic L Port enclosures seem to be the norm with Home audio so i want to ask is it worth it or not to build a 4th order for my sundown cause if not i will stick to my box i have now especially seeing as i can play down to 8hz up to 60hz+ easy at crazy volumes.
Hello! Do you think a couple of these plus a couple of your "Cinema 6" on top would make a nice combo for a hi-fi loudspeaker for small events?
Wonder how that’s would go as and outdoor cinema sun??
Your neighbors must love you...
Haha! I don't have any neighbors. They all ran off. In all seriousness though, I actually don't have neighbors.
Lucky, I'm pretty sure every time I play any heavy bass the neighbors houses rumble. Only 1 has ever said anything, but he just wanted to come over and watch a movie.. 😆
I am thinking about building two of these with the UM15-22 Subwoofer. But I want to build it ported and not as with one of the available sealed boxes. Do you have drawings available of the box you build or any recomendation, where to find something like this? It will be the first Sub I build and if I would design a box myself it would be awefull, since I don't know how to calculate anything for it.
Hie please can you do a video on how to calculate different box types using Hofmann's Iron law...wanna try it but i dont know how ....
Are you familiar with the tunable feature of the Decware Deathbox sub and Pro-12 Loudspeaker designs?
Holy earthquakes Batman! Love that driver, and all of that bracing. Great looking sub, great work on the video!
Thank you. It was fun building. And in really enjoying it in my room. I did DSP it for a nice flat response. I'm loving it.
@@Toid Thank You much for the reply!
Holy crap that's some strong ass mustard!
Haha! That's hilarious 😂😆😂
Can you explain how you wired the woofer to achieve 20hz
Where can I find the cnc plans for that enclosure?
Didn't drill holes symmetrical which would drive me crazy ! What receiver do you have ?
I love this design. Would fluting the ports on the front of the enclosure cause any negative effects to the sound?
I've never tried it, so I couldn't say for sure. It might mess with tuning frequency a little. The only concern would be that they would try to push a lot of air through the flutes that might affect Port noise. But I honestly couldn't say for sure.
is tghat how port lenghts work? in winISD wheni put more ports, the length needs to be even longer
Does any1 know where to buy rubber for a 18" woofer from kenwood
its becouse i have some 90s 5way from kenwood and i would like to fix them
We're the plans on the website yet? I looked but didn't find them.
I can't find the plans for this build on your website. I really would like to get my hands on it.
Hi, its a nice channel.
How important is the distance of the driver from the vent? Wouldn't it be any better if the woofer was possibly furthest from vent? I'm thinking about delivering the less turbulent air to the vent and symmetry of air pressure behind the membrane. I imagine the air pressure would be a bit higher on the furthest side from the vent. Thanks in advance.👍
Nice,the others subs one of them looks 15 inch does it go 20hz, the orange one is to large for me
Will there be plans available for this on your site?
You need to play Decaf White Cloud on this sub really loud and tell Mr what you think. Played it on my RSS390HO-4 15 we built with my crown XTI 1002, pretty sure my basement door will never be the same..
That's a pretty old overplayed song imo. I remember years and years ago playing that song. These days for 30Hz+ Geoxor is more fun. "Turn Around" might be one of my favorites (they're all pretty good to me at least) as it dips to 20Hz which is more fun.
Nice sub. I would’ve extended the port up the back wall a lot further. I ordered a new amp for my mfw-15 sub and getting the mx15 driver for it. Hope the mx driver does well with my enclosure. I have two rss390hf-15s in two mfw-15 subs powered by an inuke 6000 with dsp. They go below 20 with no problem.
What CNC table is this ? Did you build it?
Great vid. What is the intro music called please..
Had one in the box a while from PE, I need to build an enclosure for it, seems like I figured it up to 21-23 hz around 5 cubes maybe but I don't remember
My TC epic 12s in sealed with 2400w just seem to do so well I haven't gotten around to it
CE4000 on 110v 😂😅
dont see the plans for this on your site? anyone got the link?
Interesting my Ultimax 12 box is bigger than this enclosure. But I went for 5.4ft³ net tuned to 19Hz in my case.
Also I see you painted to port black but missed the sides. (Or maybe that was the effect you were going for?)
I painted (Sprayed) my ports after my box was assembled. Spraying into the port covered enough to never be visible unless you get on the floor and shine a light into the port.
And you can never have enough clamps. :) (Though I like nailing as I like to zoom though building the enclosure... Which isn't always a good thing haha)
Lol, no. I completely missed the sides. My bad.
Where can someone starting out find good resources for building speakers?
Where do I get the plans for the box?
Hey, bro! GRS just released the 12sw-4HE a little while ago. It feature more Xmax, stronger cone of paper, 250W RMS rating, and from winisd it looks like it can did into the 20s no problem in about a 3.5 cube box tuned lower 20s! Super cool budget upgrade in the GRS lineup
Cool video as always though
Are the build plans available?
Maybe I missed it. How tall was your slot ports?
Great build!! I bet it hums. I install cinemas for a living and we generally install 4 to 6 X 18" ULFE and 6 to 12 X 15" LFE for the average install. 😳
CRAZY! 😱
Do you have any videos of it? Sounds really badass. ✌️
@@DubHead69420 Not videos. But lots of pics. Ha. No, not really. Sound is amazing. Job involves hours with your head in a rack.
@@rykerhasyounow, alright.
And I was just thinking of the finished product. ✌️
@@DubHead69420 Aaaah. I see. You were being sarcastic? NPS.
@@rykerhasyounow, no, I wasn't?
And what does NPS mean?
Lucky woofer going on maximum excursions while we are I COVID!
In Covid 😵 woops!
Had a question about the sub that Justin couldn't answer. Would the box benefit from a Passive radiator? And have you tried to put the orange box in a car and test it. I'm trying to figure out what sub I want (12, 15, or 18; at 1 or 2 each), and what sub to use.
I don't see a benefit with the passive radiator with this setup. Sure it would cut down on port length (aka box size) but you also would have the added expense of probably adding at least two passive radiators. And at that size, that's not only going to be expensive, but take up just as much if not more room. But no I've never tried it in a car, so I can't speak to that. However I do think it would work well in the car.
Paint type is a oil imelsion or water soluble paint
Do you have plans? I cannot find them
I have the Max x 12", if I wanted to clone this box what dimensions would you recommend?
I'm not sure, I haven't done anything with the 12". But you could ask on the forum www.toidsdiyaudio.com/community
Media offline screen at 3:15... Love your content but you need a video editor to give it a once over at the end. Looks like you use final cut. Happy to help 🙂
y el croosver??? o no necesita??
Ford vs Ferrari in Atmos is one of my favorites too!!
It's so amazing, right? I just showed it off to family member who came on and never experienced Atmos before. They left impressed.
@@Toid yes! I think honestly my favorite part is subtle but when they are testing the fast GT40 and the two are talking in the middle of the track while ken drives. He passes them and the camera stays on them as you here the car continue down the track behind you and slowing turning the corner from your right to left! It's just sooo smooth and has such depth.
do you have the cut list ..?..
Boss how much 15 inches l box lang marine flywood
That background music was highly unsettling 😂
Would an enclosure within an enclosure be an effective way of reducing enclosure sound.
Some people will do this with a constrained dampening layer. Basically it's going to be all the way around the enclosure with a dampening material constrained between them. You can take a look at it, it is an effective method.
Hey man, this is a 2 ohm per coil DVC driver right. Wired them in series yields 4-ohm. How did you decide to use driver with lower than 6-ohm impedance to match with your amp? Is additional resistor needed? I was under the impression that home theater amp usually requires 6-ohm or more. Is it because this is an active subwoofer with dedicated plate amp? Newb here 😁😅
Most Home Theater Subwoofer amplifiers handle a 4ohm load. So there is no worry there.
where can i get the build list.?..
I have a Klipsch SPL plate amp, that has 400w RMS, and 800w max. Would it be perfect for this sub build?
It would definitely work on this subwoofer build.
@@Toid thank you sir.
How can I get plans
I build a sub last month. I had 4 bose ds100F woofers they are 5.25”. Put 4 of them in a box. Bought an 4” port of Soundimports. Did have no parameters or whatever. Build the box put evrything in. Perfect tuning at 30 hz and it shakes my entire house. Whitout any calculation Pure luck i guess. It sounds absolute clean. Loud and pure hifi sound Can play easy 25 hz whiteout any problems
Nice! It's always great when a plan comes together. And DIY is just fun
I had to stop a minute to check out Umer Therman scene, sorry carry on.
Damn... Now I know what to do with this old SVS ultra 13 amp. Now just need to find someone to build the box. Lol
Makes me wish I had more of a workshop. I suppose I could have the shop cut a flat pack. 🙏 ..box is so big tho.. haha.
Yeah, this box is huge. I'm thinking of trying an auto DSP amplifier on it. See how it works out.
@Toids DIY Audio .. Im fixated on doing 4x 15s. DSP amps.. but smaller boxes. I like sealed.. but dont want to miss those low low flutters. Grr.. I cant have both?!.. damn physics
@@psyphonyxaudio haha, seriously
Beautiful sub! What amp do are you using to push it?
I've used both an inuke and a crown. Currently, I'm using the crown amzn.to/3dgDzmr
@@Toid oh ok. I have a question. Is that Crown a dedicated subwoofer amp? Does it have a built in crossover? Can I use a regular power amp that's plugged into my AV's subwoofer out?
@@raineycharles9 it's a pa amplifier with EQ adjustment. I've added a fourth order crossover slope at 20 HZ and 120 HZ for this subwoofer and have done since simple EQ for the room.
Have you ever used that Crown XTI amp on some tower speakers? If so do you have a video on it?
I heard that they are a really good amp and are better than the Crown XLS 2 with the drive core.
Crown XTI is a A/B amplifier
Crown XLS is a class D amplifier
Thanks
I haven't used them on any Tower speakers, but I will have a review video coming out on it. So maybe I'll do that for that. But I will comment that it is much better than the XLS series.
@@Toid I know a couple audio members that have sold their Parasound A23 and a PS Audio S300 HiFi amplifiers and kept the Crown XTI.
The PS Audio cost $1,500. I think the Crown XTI was around $490.
@@Toid
The manuals for Crowns show an input sensitivity of .775Vrms for RCA (single ended) inputs and 1.4Vrms for balanced (XLR) inputs.
I’ve seem some reviews of the Crown amps and the reviewer said it sounded too lean.
Come to find out they had the incorrect input setting to match their RCA or Balanced inputs.
After they made the quick change in the settings the amp came alive.
I think you’ll like the Crown XTI on your towers.
Can’t wait to see your review.
I had the XLS 2 amp with dsp. Believe it was the 2002. Returned it and got the XTI 1002 within the 1st week. Man what a difference the XTI made. I want to get a CleanBox Pro though to see if it can sound even better.
@@robbiedh02 Hi Robbie, Did you have the XTI hooked up to some towers or a sub?
What was the difference in sound that you heard between the XLS drivecore 2 and the XTI.
Many Thanks…..👍🏻
I can't help but wonder...Did the measured specs on the MX15-22 match what Parts express states on their website? I have no doubt that you did measure that.
I only measured the TS specs before I built the box. Once I built it I measured the in room response and EQ'd to that. The final response with EQ was exactly what I wanted and what I expected based off WinISD.
What is the measured -3 db hz in your room?
You can see the before and after DSP results here: th-cam.com/video/PjkDGztgxwY/w-d-xo.html
It's great. But DIY with CNC machine?!
Awesome build again brother I have a crown CL 1 amplifier do you think they would pair up good and what's the air space of that inclusion
Yeah. That should be a perfect pairing. I would put a high pass on it. I couldn't tell if the cl 1 had one or not. I'm not sure what you're asking about the inclusion
This things a beast! Will you be posting a cutlist or selling one?
I will have a cut list coming out hopefully by the end of the week. I'm contemplating on whether to sell the flat pack. I have to check to see how much shipping would be on something like that.
@@Toid if it's like gsg, shipping is alot.
@@toolanddie9789 yeah it is. So is material right now
@@Toid hopefully things will come back to normal eventually. A cut list will be much appreciated. I may send my 12-in ultimax back and get the MaxX15 and build it then.
Any update on selling the flat pack?
Can you explain the science of splitting the ports up? I've never heard of it. The principle is that how ever many ports you divide it into, you divide the length by the same number?
If I had a port that was 5x5 and 25 inches long, I could make 5 ports thay were 5x1, only 5 inches long?
There’s no difference in tuning frequency. The main reason it is done here is to add structural rigidity. In your case you would be changing the tuning frequency because the length would have to stay the same so you would want five 1 inch ports that were 25 inches long.
What are you powering it with?
I was using a crown xti, but currently am using a Dayton with Auto DSP that I reviewed a few months ago
@@Toid thanks
Hi I have a question when can you show us or make a Subwoofer that come go down to like 10 or 15 hz please I really want something better then better
This one will hit that no problem in a room. 15 Hertz is probably close to us F3 in room. If you really want to chase those single digits though you're going to want to do a lot of subwoofers and sealed with a lot of EQ. The main issue you're going to have is that pretty much any amplifier that's going to be pushing these bigger subwoofers is going to have a 20 HZ high pass on it. So you're going to have to at least EQ that out without passing excursion of the subwoofer.
@@Toid couldn’t you use something like a car amplifier and a mini dsp I do know that there are some car amplifier that go down to 4 hz and yer like the Arc se amps and I think Orion HCCA 250 go’s down to like 15 hz I all so know they made some home amps back in the day that did that too
The one thing that worries be about powerful subwoofers Is the ceiling or similar light structures cracking.
We do get some earthquakes occasionally. But if I called the insurance company and said I was watching Star Wars and the ceiling came down, they wouldn't pay.
That’s a pretty small box for a 15 at 20Hz. Did you get any port noise? I would think that his would be noisy, no way is that port big enough unless you are under powering it it greatly. How watts of power did you apply to this? Looks real good and that sub has ridiculous cone area!
It was designed properly using WinISD with power and port noise taken into account within the design process. No port noise. It’s just a very clean sounding subwoofer. I recently replaced it with my dual 21” sealed subwoofers. But this is going into my game room. I’m
@@Toid heck yeah! Looks like a project for my movie room 👍🏼
Plans link is 404. Are these plans still available?
I still think you should talk to parts Express and get them to send you one of the 21 inch krakens I think that would be literally structural murder to put that behind the couch in your home theater
You're probably right. 🤣😂
Hey are those my hands in the video? It was fun.
It was fun! I might just end up having to build a second one
these subs should take 450 watts all day right..?...awesome build..
Yes. I'm giving this 800w
