I love how he claimed that noise was the soldering iron even though we all know it was a bong
Maybe his soldering iron sounds like a bong.
what noise?
GavinGaming it is a butane soldering iron it makes that noise when the gas is getting burned or pushed out of the tank
I thought that was a vape
Lol it was a joke why all you taking it so seriously
come on man pass the soldering iron
solder solder pass
Aight (passes bong uh i mean soldering iron)
My Soldering iron was making kind of a bubbling noise and was blowing smoke
This dude is so unpredictably weird. I love it.
I did the same with mu Sharp system which has 8" woofer. I stuffed a lot of glass wool to reduce the resonance arpund 580 Hz and the result is highly encouraging
the only effect of insulation is lowering the bass reflex frequency tuning and reducing its efficiency. Bass reflex is a resonance between the air volume of the box and the air volume of the port. By applying insulation you reduce the resonance.
Nice 👍
On the other hand, reducing resonance improves bass clarity.
Sounds cleaner after filling it. Less high frequency vibration, and brings out the lows better.
So glad to see that the speakers i am using atm appeared in your video.
I actually have two 4ohm pioneer 6x9" car speakers wired in series to an 8ohm amp as a center channel and they work great.
The capacitor is probably being used as a simple low pass filter to make the bass driver more efficient
capacitor is in high pass filter, it blocks really low frequencies (probably under 40-50hz or so) unless its a inductor then it could be used to filter out higher frequencies, but that wouldnt really improve bass
capacitors are high pass filters, inductors are low pass filters
a typical 12db per octave low pass (to send bass to a woofer) would be an inductor in series with the woofer and a cap across its terminals. For a 6db filter leave off the cap. In general if you have an 8 ohm driver/woofer that you want to cross at 1khz you would pick an inductor where the inductance in millihenrys would cause it to have 8 ohms of inductive reactance at 1khz and a cap that has the correct amount of capacitance to have 8 ohms of capacitive reactance at 1khz.
its a high pass filter, anyways, ive found out that aiwa speakers capacitors are not as good as their speakers
drumbeatP its an inline crossover. Its you're partially correct. Its made to filter out the higher frequencies actually. The subwoofer is for low end frequencies of 120hz and less. Its purpose is to keep the subwoofer's voice coil from cooking from too high of a frequency.
It sounds like the box's resonant frequency is shifted to a lower frequency...which is to be expected. Sounds smoother and less boomy.
The capacitor is to stop the sub from popping under high volume and the pop that can be heard from the subwoofer is the voice coil hitting the magnet they put the capacitor on to add some resistance so when the amp sends the signal to the speaker it does not send the voice coil straight into the magnet
No it's to stop bass going to the mid and tweeter. It's only first order though.
Ty brother very enlightening ✌️🖖
There's a little difference between the two speakers, the one that has crossovers and without. There's a little mid range when the crossovers was taken off. Crossovers usually removes certain frequencies of a speaker for a specific application. In that case on your aiwa I think the crossover is for removing some of the high frequencies on the woofer but its not that noticeable because its only passive.. Great videos as always and enjoying it.. Hows peanut and pancake doing by the way? :)
I think the insulated one cleaned the mid bass up a bit although it does seem a bit quieter. From all my research adding batting to a woofer box kind of tricks it into thinking there's a bigger enclosure? I could be wrong it's been a while. All though you might have to pump yo the volume a bit I prefer the batting sound. Might have to tweak the EQ a bit after. Keep the the smoke in your lungs and out of your woofers!
bingo. Cheers!
Those damn smokey soldering irons! :D
Darth PuffMaN mine too dang it ...ll puffpuff ,,, pass ... high!
Smokey puff puff.
Bong
Holy moly the soldering irons my dad uses does not make no sound and smoke....WTF
Disregarding the youtube audio compression, in my sound system the original box had more amplitude in the bass than the modified box. I believe this happened because you used a very wide insulator. This caused a large decrease in internal volume. Which I believe to have been calculated correctly by the manufacturer.
To get a significant improvement, you should have used a thinner insulation, or even made another sound box considering the volume occupied by the insulation. Taking into account a margin of error of 10% in volume, due to the insulation.
I agree somewhat. The bass IMO has improved. The other box has a little less insulation and is not centered correctly and I doubt they measured the insulation accurately.
Usually insulation in the enclosure actually helps the speakers performance. In a sealed enclosure, it fools the speaker into thinking it is in a larger enclosure so if your enclosure is not the correct size for the driver is more forgiving. It surposedly also helps prevent standing waves in the enclosure. Now seeing how this is a ported enclosure , the insulation must be something more secure, so the movement of air doesn't blow it out through the port. If you replace a resistor used as a filter. If you don't use the same value it will change how the sound is filtered. So the frequency that each driver receives may take it out of its performance range. So tweeters can burn up, and woofers will blow. Because they are not playing in their optimal frequencies. When you disconnected the cross over network, you killed the sound of those speakers.
I have never really liked using insulation for the padding myself. I have always just cut a pillow open and shoved in loose stuffing :P Maybe I am missing something, but it has always sounded great to my ears without causing a heavy reduction in low frequencies.
@@meademorgan6614 Speakers cannot be "Fooled." Sound waves are simple and predictable. All you can really do is affect which frequencies go into which drivers, and the surfaces the waves hit inside the enclosure and at the points they leave the enclosure.
less boomy bass in the isolated, more flat response to my ears, and less boxy sound, more presence and forward sound.
If you want a great, cheap upgrade? Get Skar Audio FSX8 8" pro studio speakers for these cabinets. You wilp hear a big difference honestly. (And yes, they are car audio speakers. Lol) They are available in 4 ohm and 8 ohm impedances. 150 watts RMS per speaker too. I have 2 10" ones in my Suburban and they sound amazing on a 4 channel A/B class amp on fullrange.
the missing screw is more then likely stuck to a magnet of one of ur speakers
I love how you say "modification" like your voice and i like your channel
The standard was more boomy and the insolated was more clean and smooth
insulated
I love big, deep bass sound, just like the bass sound that I used to hear from the records of Gentleman Jim Reeves's Music Videos, when played.
To others, it may not be so as they expected it to be, but for me, it's just great.
You've done a great job for me, though, your explanations seems to be so simple, still it's clear enough for me to understand.
the original box is boomy because the tuning frequency is high (around 60 hz i guess). Most hifi manufacturers apply one layer of foam just on the back panel of the box. It reduces medium and high frequency resonance without reducing bass reflex efficiency that much.
Its a LC low pass filter(that wire which is basically an inductor, and capacitor),its used to allow low frequencies to the the driver....
Aiwa speakers are cheaper,but had a great bass,speacially the models with "super woofer",my old NSX S910 had these speakers.
Nice video i like it !
filling a ported speaker is good . less Box resonating when some types of lows hit and lessens vibration and doesn't sacrifice the speakers sound quality at actually improves it tremendously. i had to do it to a few of my polks and a set of kefs
I've been here 2 minutes and 30 seconds and you've already ripped the bong now I'm subscribed I'm surprised it wasn't the intro
Your videos are always so well done, the quality is so good. I don't know why you don't have more subs and views, your content is higher quality than channels with 5x the subs.
Thanks man! I don't mind though, I do this because I enjoy it and tbh I much prefer having a small channel. It feels like a family, haha. Cheers!
The insulated one sounds a bit punchier on the lows, but the standard speaker sounds boomier. I don't know which one I like more to be honest 😂
wow those are some nice speakers! would love to find some here in poland for cheap :D btw if you puncture the membrane/faom on the speaker you can use some glue to fix it (make sure its the right one) or use some verry special tape. btw the capacitors are for the high pitched sounds usualy so the tweeters would only be afected if you removed the capacitor.
ps if you are bored with your subwoofer you can make a conversion to it so there is a smoke machine inside you can togle on or off so when you are using it then it starts blowing smoke (the port size and shape sometimes can cause your sub to blow smoke rings)
Nice idea
Naz95K i’ve been wanting to invent a speaker/bong , 2 in 1. 😁.
Im conflicted. The standard speaker has louder bass and the modded speaker has the bass a little deeper, but not as loud as the other one. I would isolate them both, I think the standard had a little mid-bassy feeling
Super good I love it man
It's add some smooth and punch (like more high-mid comes out and bass don't distorted). Здрасте.
Strange NOISE? YOU HAD ME DEAD! I was ripping my bong at the same time.
The copper wire connects with capacitor which prevents the speaker from taking over voltages and from blowing.
I just did this with a set of pa speakers from the 80s i picked up on craigslist. I crammed those fuckers full with as much rockwool as i could and they sound pretty good.
Aiwant more bass
STEve Beats don't we all
Badum tsh ! :p
Lol
Among F&D T400X and T60X which is better in bass and clarity?
Regards
It’s hard to tell on the video but I know it sounds better with sound deadening material... It actually sounds quieter but I know its just because it doesn’t have as much vibration it it now... 👍
I personally think that standard sound just a tad bit better than modded, but that might just be my taste, id like to know what your opinion is
In my opinion, I'd like to hear them in another room before I decide. Haha!
You're my new friend once I heard Blame by Korn playing.
I just bought the installation and it sound way better it added some more bassthank you
Whats the name of the in installation material
I think what you disconnected was some sort of crossover (lowpass/subsonic) for the woofer
Pancake, what an awesome name! Subscribed!
Hmm, correct me if i'm wrong but isn't there a lot more energy in the bass frequencies? Then it would make more sense if the signal goes from the amp via the bass to the mids and high with a high pass filter between bass and mid than via the tweeter to the mid and bass with a low pass filter between mid and bass. The point being that the crossover is used to make your system more efficient and prevent blowing out your mids and highs. Not the other way around.
The woofer and tweeters are connected separately to the main input.
DEFINITELY Helped reduce the annoying Boom!
The capacitor is there to help save your amp from using excessive energy when you're listening to heavy bass music
2 of my soldering irons do that weird. :v
a capacitor is connected to a speaker to reduce the distortion or bass of an audio signal
That cap between the woofer and mid/high is probably to filter out the low freq's to the mid/high or to filter out the high freq's to the woofer
Replace with a Faital Pro 8PR200. That would give some output and you wouldn't need the mid either.
i like speekurz
youre my favourite youtuber now
This video is just surreal
Put speaker in closet or cupboard, (or just any box with 1 opening) and play any song, thats how i made my JBL Flip 3 into a subwoffer,
no joke
it's a woofer rather than a sub the flip 4 doesnt go that low
I would assume that resistor thingy was there for damping or for some sort of safety / clip protection . those are a " bass reflex " type speaker and the aiawa amp had a section to it that acted like the old Kenwood amps and would control all movement of the driver . so its possible that resistor was to help qwell any free movement or " sway " of the woofer . they still sound pretty sharp for how old they are.
The right side speaker is slightly moving more than the left one there is a difference
I could hear a great enhancement in bass. Hope it is true. I will try it. Meanwhile would like to know what was the stuffing used.
“At the end of the day, they are all speakers”. I mean hey, I’m using door speakers as a center channel speaker. Plus a Sony center and a guitar amp speaker. All on the same input because I’m a god
You are so funny. I love your style
He is as high as his speaker frequency’s
I fine it's more flat respond ! Good for studio use when u put in thick insulation !
6:14 my favourite part :D
Is exciter enhancer can do also the duty of bass enhancer? Or they separated only the bass enhancer from exciter? Please answer
Maybe it's just my headphone, but for me, standard speaker sounded deeper :D
The capacitor and mystery black box is probably a volume/bass clipping control to prevent over powering the speakers
What you disconnected is a high pass filter, it blocks the bass from being played through the tweeters
They have their own.
it was a low pass it blacks the highs form the woofer
I don't think that soldering iron has a proper percolator 🤔😂
You can but that suspension surround part of the speaker you pierced accidentally in the other vid. They are held with adhesive. I saw a vid of changing them on TH-cam.
most home audio speakers are 8ohm or even higher.. most car stuff is 4ohm but u can get 8ohm
Seems like there is just a slight a bit more clarity in the mid and tweet
Well it did make a small difference but if you want more all you need is a bigger box and copy the cut patterns line the entire box and post a video of the quality
I guess the capacitor is just a simple crossover so the big woofer only gets lower frequencies
Hahaha! Soldering iron joke had me man! Your're a funny dude :D
What's the wattage of those aiwa speakers?
I have a pair if aiwa SX-N999MKII 150W 6 owms (? might be misspelt)...
Thx for the video I don't seem to detect any difference between the insulated and standard speaker.
I prefer the standard one, sounds like there is more middle range and louder bass.
Dude!!! That was Let's Do This Now, by KoЯn!! Billion points of respect!
Those other wires are a type of crossover. You unplug those, no low end sound.
So you change the speaker parameters when you put so much acoustic material ! The role of acoustic material is increasing the volume of the box and the speaker will always sound dense ,but there will be more group delays.
totally! I'm glad some people watching actually know this.
Nice video but can i get the music title from 10:16 please?
Definitely the standard speaker sounds better than the isolated one, when you put the isolator inside the speaker box the volume of the box get shrink and loose bass.
Any legal way to get flac music? I finally got av amp that supports flac files so it would be nice to compare flac to mp3 :)
Damn bong hits i mean Smokeing sodering irons
where to get or buy those insulation? or can I maybe use some alternatives?
capacitors are usually used as low-pass filters
It was probably brigded that looked like high pass filter if so it should read 100v+ and 4uf
It's protect circuit it shuts off speakers if over loading or getting too hot
10:17 wahts the name of that song?? it's not in the description
I love this dude 😂🎉
bruh my laptop went into blue screen of death and i was like man, my computer is now toast but somehow it works again, but i had to still watch your new video lol.
lol
87 likes and no dislikes, well done
it sounds like your soldering iron is stuck in water bong mode. there should be a switch on the back that changes it 😎
Look on parts express .com they have a full range of speaker sizes and types, you want a Korean made 3 inch high excursion sub woofer? They have them. At low low prices as well.
You basically made it uneven with the mod, it just has one bass hump where it's strong and the rest is recessed, the stock had more even bass response without such peaks and dips.
Crazy how so many people say different things
So your solder iron is a huka ? That is prolly one of the most.........awesome things ever !
i like the cover up about the bong
name of the second song plsssss. Is it some kind of remix on obeson-drugs ? Btw this was released on my BDay lol :D
Instant subscriber right here!!👌✌😁
🤘😁
I sounded like the bass is more deeper after the modification. Well idk but nice vid love it as always:)
Thanks dude and yeah, it sounds like that to me too
Literally the only difference between home audio speakers and car audio speakers is that car audio speakers are sold as individual speakers and not any sort of casing.
And as cats usually do, stroke the base of the tail and Pancake shows her coconut ring! Hahaha 😎
