Designing an underseat subwoofer box for AWESOME BASS using four tens!

- When building a subwoofer enclosure for an aftermarket car audio system in a truck we need to make use of a minimal amount of space. This makes the design of the subwoofer enclosure for this application very important. In this video I take you through one of my designs step-by-step to show the design process and what I came up with for this four 10" subwoofer system.

Hey Mark what softwares do you use to design the enclosures?
You are actually living my dream life. Modelling things on solid works and installing speakers. More importantly get to know how each speaker sounds!
Love Crutchfield! Have used them for many many years. Top notch customer service!
Glad to hear!
Your expience, both in designing and building is on full display here ☺️
Thank you so much for bestowing all this knowledge on us viewers. Your videos are an absolute gold mine of experience!
A lot of changes from building a box when I was younger to now.... I can definitely see with the more costly materials where you don't wanna make a bad cut due to improper measuring (measure twice/ cut once) but this does allow all the potential hangups to be dealt with before one has to put pieces of wood in a whoops storage bin to be repurposed as for another build or for the firepit. You definitely are a wealth of info in the car audio realm!
haha reminds me of when I was in middle school and got the speaker box design book from Radio Shack. Taught myself a lot of algebra and geometry that way. In my 8th grade math class the teacher gave us a pre-test. I was upset I didn't have the time to finish the last 11 or so questions. The teacher about flipped her lid because I was teaching myself stuff like cross multiply and divide while taking the test and resulted in like an 11th grade score on the test. I wonder if modern tech would have the same kind of impact on someone or if the computer doing the work for them would dull it out.
Nice work! Also, thank you so much for actually sharing a true time estimate.
Awesome Mark !! Glad to see some new videos coming out.
Wow. Great attention to detail. I’d love to hear this!
Great point on proper sizing of drivers. A properly designed pair of 10 inch subs will blow away bigger but poorly designed and constructed systems. Bigger is not always better.
That's facts... I got a custom 8 inch sub in my Car and it sounds like a bigger build, because of the quality of the box and sound treatment!
Just look at oem designed premium systems. Often using a couple 6's or an 8.
My thx sounds great.
Tuned in from South Africa. Great work.👌👌
I’ve been using 2 12’s on 600 watts. And door speakers that aren’t amplified yet.
I installed them myself and followed every rule I could find. People find it quite shocking when they learn that I’m only using a 600w amp on my subs and nothing on the door speakers.
Thanks for all the lessons!
You don't need a lot of watts to push the right subs my wife's blazer is running 2-12in kicker impulse they are kicker subs from late 90's I had bought 20 of them when I did budget SPL competitions if my memory is right I think I paid 89.99 each back then i had 6 left so i put 2 in and one of the old Rockford power punch 360a2 that pushes 90w by 2 channel we tested it at 152spl and as you said no amps for mids and highs, awia dub din head unit and modified in 2- 6.5in Polk audio component sets in front & rear and that's it and it sounds awesome. you don't need to amp everything nore do you need to spend a arm an a leg if you just want some bump and to sound good and in mid speaker picking ones with higher sensitivity take less power to push.
Definitely want to see you build this thing. 100%.
Stay tuned!
Nice job! Can't wait to see build video!
Awesome job, i had similar design much more complex than this due to.the seat brackets, this is very simple design nicely done. I have used two JBL GTO 804 drivers. I designed 11 years back when i had brought my new vehicle that time in 2011
This is just Awesome bro.. 💯💥❤️💪👌👍
What software do you use to design the enclosures? Thank you 🙏
this channel has alway been awesome!!!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
👍👍
Appreciate it, thanks for watching
Very nice video, that should look and work good on finished .👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you! And thanks for being a CAF patron member!
Good tip with the scaling of the sub cross section picture, used to do the same thing back on the day before the availability if good online 3d modelling software so just had to scale the technical drawings to real size and then print it out so had something to check fitment etc when didn't actually have the part on hand 😃
Thanks. Unfortunately with all these manupackagers out there now a days there are rarely technical images to use. Luckily though quality manufacturers like JL are still around.
@@CarAudioFabrication haha haven't heard the term "manupackagers" before to describe all those brands that just slap their logo on some generic product 🤣 Yes as you say its nice that there are still some brands like JL that stay true to their design philosophy after all these years
That's a gorgeous box, would love to have one! You are a master of sound and have enjoyed watching your videos for years!! Do you sell these boxes because I am not that talented like you?
Hey Mark! How much would you charge for a box built like this? LABOR AND MATERIALS
I think a nice tutorial on the basics with regards around design stage’s, perhaps focusing on where to start in Fusion360
I’d personally like to know more and any tips would be greatly appreciated from your patrons
Keep up the good work Mark 👌🏾
Nice!
Love to know what design program your using. It would definitely help me with my project truck.
Very nice
Thanks
Great Video! thank you for walking through the process. what software are you using to create the 3d model?
It looks like solidworks to me. But I’m not 100% sure
You're the reason why I want to make my own stuff. Door speakers? I'd probably go overkill with them because I know better from our channel.
can you do video on what software you use for your blue print of your box design.
What's the name of the software 👍
wondering this my self
Same… always wondered what software he uses but I’ve never been able to find it
@@ReEvoluion thank you!
Watching system build videos, I always wonder how much money a high end system like this costs. Seems like it would cost as much as the vehicle itself sometimes.
Its all labor. You can do it yourself if you have the time and patience. Mark is showing of his skills and chops. Its not really that expensive. Even the equipment is dirt cheap.
But as an installer, you have to go with name brands since your are liable for the warranty and the entire work done on a car. So there is so much more overhead involved.
there are lots of ways to cut costs and get to where you are happy with your system
Started fallowing you when sound deadening was my issue. Since now it's time to step it up. Which modeling software are you using? Looks like it could be used with other woodworking projects as well.
For your F150 build with this size of install did you have to upgrade anything on vehicle power side? I.e battery, alternator etc.
I'm looking at a similar install for my Ram. I already upgraded to a larger battery from the Diesel model but wondered if that would be enough.
Any advice on sub and amp upgrade for a Rivian R1T?
I can't find the video you were talking about where you do the measuring of the you truck box
When is ready I want to hear it to see if sound is balanced.
Also down fire will always muffle the sound. But someti you do what the customer wants regardless of what the professional suggests
Do you own a cnc machine? Looks great design
Question, if your subwoofer say it needs a 1.25 cuft box do you have to double that if you have 2 subs?
I have a stealthbox under my back seat of my 2015 Silverado crew cab with 2 jl audio 10w3d8 subs in it and 1000 watt 1v2 amp. I would really love to get 2 more 10w3d8s and hook them to the same amp but my whole middle seat and center console be turned into a sub box and center console of my own liking.
How is the stealthbox, did you upgrade everything else, or just do a dsp and stay factory?
@@skyychaos26 I have a loc hooked to the stock bose amp and yes the stealthbox is amazing I don't even have it turner up all the way I want 2 more speakers before I turn it up again. I need to get big 3 upgrade and new alternator before I do and I would like to upgrade the factory stereo and interior speakers. Just do your research to anyone that has bose systems in your vehicle since a lot of stuff either won't work with bose or you have to replace and bypass stuff but yes I want a new amp for interior speakers when I get them as well I hope my bose system is still good enough to sell when I get to that point. Bose is nice by itself but I definitely need a new head unit to power them better or like I said switch everything. Would be nice to go with all jl audio amps and speakers idk what head unit I want. Gotta save money n got tons of other bills right now like 60k worth 🤦♂️😞
Can you make a video building a under seat box for a jeep gladiator?
How much do you charge to make one of those boxes for a 1500 Silverado crew cab? And it’ll be for Four 10’s just like this box. Would love to purchase one from you ASAP for my truck.
Will this design be available for purchase?
What cad design software are you using?
There is a VERY good chance that two 8” subs with all that volume would sound even better!!! JL, Infinity or Alpine Type R all would reproduce more bass and be just as accurate
so how would this sound with just 2 of these w1
Can you design a sub box for a 2011 chevy silverado crew cab
Someone know what program is he using to design that?
Link to modeling software in description?
What CAD system are you using?
Hey Mark. With a design like this, how much of an air gap do you need between the subwoofer and the floor? It’s something that I’ve always wondered about. Apologies if you mentioned this in the video already. Thanks!
I have two JL Audio 10WOs down firing in a 2020 Chevy Silverado that I had my local Car Toys build with the JL Audio SGRU-10 grilles with 1.5" of clearance from sub bottom panel to the carpet. There is 0.5" clearance from grille face to the carpet. All of the energy released through the slot on the back of the box because they had to cut the full rubber floor mat to the edge of the front of the box. All of the energy basically goes backwards into the cab back wall. Sounds great and does not sound restricted.
Plexi glass front would look awesome with leds.
🤔🤔🤔
@CarAudioFabrication nothing like watching subs move inside its a thing of beauty the inner workings.
Do you do any custom boxes for people and ship them. Ive currently got a q logic box with a single jl w3. Its served me well but would like to add another 10 when i buy my new aps but a cant find a dual 10 box that offers 5 7/8 mounting depth for my application
Is an 06 silverado crew cab. Couple companies do offer a behind the seat but they are all about 3/8- 1/2" short on depth and noby makes a dual under the seat for a crew cab. And I've yet to find a shop locally I trust to make a decent looking one don't want competition level or anything but it's gotta atleast look decent and due to garage space at the house with other projects I'm I'm no position to try and do it myself, got the tools but not the available space or time.
Just in case you and wood don't get along to well? Dual has a great Down firing subwoofer you can get at Advance Auto parts for less then $82 bucks for the pair without tax. These were the secret sauce for me to get that Mid-BASS kick and I mean KICK drum and Tom Toms a plenty!
I have room for my main sub woofers in the back, but this gave me something that I just could not accomplish in my car due to phase issues, and cancellations. The boxes are very well made for such a good price, I could not say no. Buy them in a pair since that's really how they need to be used. I run mine in stereo right behind the seats and since they tuck up right next to it? It also feels like I have a Tactile transducer mounted to the seat back. Pretty cool.
It won't work for everyone, but for me? It was either this? Or start cutting my car in order to install a Mid bass on the floor PSound style like Peter often does. That would have been killer to do, but just not ready for that amount of customization a this time.
And I love Water puddles.
For everyone else? Have Mark or someone else build the box for you and forget about the intensive labor and time doing all the hard work it takes to put something like a custom box together.
having a pro do it saves you so much time and grief. Mark also knows a bit about cabins so he could probably be able to get the most out of your box he makes for you. And the dude does some AMAZING looking work. It looks more like Furniture then a Box if you ask me.
ask yourself when is the last time someone made something custom tailored just for you and your vehicle? People used to get suits and clothing made just for them and tailored to their needs this is basically the same thing but with car audio.
@Mark: Any advantage to having each sub in its own enclosure within the box? So instead of having open braces make the braces solid and give each sub its own air space.
No benefit.
what software u used
This looks to be a Ford F150 ypu built this for. Any plans to sell the plans to the public?
What modeling software are you using, and where can I get a copy?
3d modeling software is a tool and there are a hundred options. What works for me might not be best for you. There is no car audio specific modeling software and the designer does the work.
What is the name of the application you're using for the box design? I'd LOVE a video about just that and how to use it.
3d modeling software. There are a bunch of different programs out there and they all work about the same. It's the designer that does the work.
@@niagaravdub maybe he doesn't want to advertise a paid software for free so prefers to keep it un named.
hi Mark, wich application do you use for designing?
I would love to know that too.
3d modeling software. There are a bunch of different programs out there and they all work about the same. It's the designer that does the work.
Something that you recommend?
@@CarAudioFabrication if I shoot you all the measurements needed could you design me blueprints for an enclosure? What would be you're fee.
Solidworks
Can someone order all the pieces and hardware for a box ?
Will this same box work for 4 8's
It wouldn't be optimal because its not designed for those. To get a custom design for a truck check out our website here: www.caraudiofabrication.com/truck-subwoofer-blueprint-designs
What program did you use to design box?
Any 3d design program can be used. They all do the same things. It's the designer that does the work.
@@CarAudioFabrication true dat
sad so nothing on a nissan 100nx :P
What do you mean when you say extrude. Are you 3D printing this design?
It's a basic 3d modeling term. You create a profile or sketch in 2d and "extrude" it to add 3d dimension.
For saving space in trucks 6.5, 7, 8, and 10 subwoofers are Ideal and offer good bass so why are these sizes always overlooked.
Crutchfield looks very useful, but doesnt have Skoda
US based company isn't going to have vehicles not sold in the US
I wonder if the anunnaki would like subwoofers.
Meanwhile, in India...
Mark .Esti atat de disperat dupa banet incat ai ajuns sa ceri 25 de dolari pe un episod, si inainte ziceai ca e gratis, mare MELC esti.
