Kerfed MDF Slot Port Subwoofer Box - Paint and Carpet Combo
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 พ.ค. 2021
- Bend and curve a fresh 3/4" MDF sheet and turn it into a beautiful L-port for vented car subwoofer box of a small but powerful 8 inch subwoofer.
Before watching this awesome subwoofer build video, please watch the previous video about the Lightning Lab XLS 8" 500w dual 2 Ohm car subwoofer to know more about its electro-mechanical data or so called the theile-small parameters in this link - • Lightning Lab XLS 8" D...
This small but beefy subwoofer has a very nice Kevlar cone and weighs about 7 kilos, very heavy for a small eight inches subwoofer. And is pre-wired with 10 gauge cables in each voice coils.
Ok, let's start the project by shopping a fresh sheet of 18mm MDF (medium density fiberboard) at a local home depot. Calculated and designed the box dimensions against the woofer's parameters using Bass Box 6 Pro, updated to the latest version. I've calculated to have a target box resonance of 47Hz just to give justice of the woofer's Fs which is about 54Hz. For the schematics and dimensions, proceed to TinkerCad on this link - www.tinkercad.com/things/2bli...
At 01:00 mark, cut 12 kerfs with 10mm gap distance in between them. Then wet before bending to prevent the board from cracking. We will use the old wood glue in strengthening the kerfs together and apply generous amount of No nail all purpose adhesive to further strengthen the kerfs. Once dried, cut 45 degree angle on every edge of the port to promote smooth air movement within the sound box.
Glue and nail all panels together and let dry. Use the table saw in cutting a little notch on the front baffle sides. This notch will be the place to tuck in the carpet seam for a more seamless look.
Paint and cover the rest of the box a charcoal black carpet. Use 4mm T-nuts and Carbon steel Allen head bolts in securing the woofer.
Once finished, test and measure the subwoofer system using Dayton Audio DATS v3 to verify final system impedance, which is about 41Hz. Not bad for a fresh, out-of-the box brand new 8 inches woofer!
And as always, please subscribe to get notifications on new uploads and watch out next week for the subwoofer bass test video. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Badass way to cover/coat the box. Wish I would've seen this video earlier. I like the radius on the port and you made it look simple too.
Thank you POE.
That box is BEAUTIFUL!!!
🧯😎🔥
This would be perfect for my room, great job! Also, love how church is just vibin/snoozin😂
thanks brother. 😁😎 doggos are very helpful as usual 😂
Absolutely amazing build !!

Very tasteful and quality wood working combined with sub box design skills. I had to subscribe to see more. Thank you for your videos.
Thanks for the sub, Greg.
watching here from Brazil, incredible video, well built box, perfect project.
Thank you Marcus.

Many thanks. 😎👍🏆
Nice work..
Hope to see more
Thanks a bunch. Yes more builds soon.. 😎🥳
More stylish and most beautiful unique enclosure ever 😃😎
Thanks tina
@@chrclmnky most welcome sir😀
I love the way you did the double baffle that is the way I'm going to do it for my box as well
Yes I need to double it because the sub is very heavy and very powerful.
@@chrclmnky most of the builds I see do double baffle with a top mount by just doubling the entire layer. I prefer it this way so as not to need to do that
Awesome work
Thanks a lot 😊
Great job 👏
Thanks Chinna 😎🏆
Melhor acabamento do youtube !
thanks
VERY NICE!!!
У Вас так просто все получается на видео, хорошая работа!) Приятно смотреть) Жду видео с проверкой сабвуфера)
Хотел спросить у Вас, вы делаете разминку динамика перед замером параметров? Или делаете расчеты короба используя заводские параметры?
@@pixiedixie hello how you doin. I measure the speaker right out of the box brand new.
@@chrclmnky понятно, спасибо за ответ) после разминки бывают значительно уплывают параметры. Я в порядке, спасибо. Надеюсь, что у Вас тоже все хорошо)
good box sir,continue your skill
🔩🔧📐🌞😎

Great Video keep em coming How deep (leaving about 1/8 inch to bend) and How wide on your kerfing cuts That damn paint job is spot on !!!
10mm gap each kerf cut, and about 12 kerf cuts.
Good wark
Your build skills are awesome. Be curious to see a video with flush mount subwoofer. Maybe you've already done one and have a video link.
Thanks very much. Here's some flush mounted sub box I have built.

Matsalams sir
Fantastic bro 🤜🏼🤛🏼
😎👍🍾
@@chrclmnky do you sell them also? Or is it just 4 youtube?
@@pimpdaddy8551 yes they're for sale. 😁. Previous projects were orders from clients to different parts in the Philippines.
@@chrclmnky okay but i think you do not ship to europe do you?😅
Sure i can buy a good box here but its not a unique masterpiece like your boxes 🤷🏽♂️
@@pimpdaddy8551 shipping boxes to EU from third world country Philippines will cost us ridiculously high.
Super bro
thanks midhun
Pogi ng gawa 👍👍
🕺🐕👍😎
Great project, IMO will be much better with a 10" competition subwoofer.
Most definitely
Awesome
How you doin brother
I need a box like that 😬😬😬
Excellent work, I just have one question. What is the intonation of the box and how many cubic feet does it have? Greetings, I love your videos
Hello Sebastian, box has a net internal volume of 24.5 liters and a total volume of 32.85 liters. If you like to know the dimensions, there is a link to the TinkerCad schematics in the video description. Check it out.
You favorite subwoofer brand
Yes kinda
Hey man, super nice build, I have a question ! why are you screwing the screws first, unscrew it and then screwing it again ?? :)
Thanks. Nice question. I need the T Nut to bite under the MDF so it won't move when I attach the subwoofer. This is very important. You don't want the T Nut to fall loose when fastening the subwoofer.
There is a better alternative, use threaded inserts. They are a piece of mind versus T nuts.
eyyyy chadaha ana Lods
Matsalams sir
I think the box turned out very well, but it must have been very expensive, a lot of wood and a lot of handwork. but an excellent job congratulations.
Thanks for the feedback. Yes somewhat expensive.
Superb
Thanks 🤗 brother, how you doin
Welcome brother . I'm fine... you???
@@brokeyhub4482 just surviving.
Take care brother
Excelente trabajo amigo, felicitaciones, por cierto cuantos litros tiene esa caja?. Saludos.
Hello Jairo. Thanks. About 24.5 liters net internal volume and 32.85 liters total
I need some advice....I am wanting a single 8 in a box for my fusion, just to add to the factory Sony system for some punchy mid/low bass. I listen to all kinds of music. What configuration would you recommend? Love your builds, keep going man!
Thanks for watching. A ported box tuned to 40-45Hz for your 8" sub will do very good. This box has a verified tuning of 41Hz.
@@chrclmnky perfect, thanks man
Great Video !! Can you shoot for a 35-37 final tuning ?
You do wonderful work sir may God bless you!
Appreciate the feedback. 😎
Boss anong bolts po ung para SA sub at San po poydi makaka order?
Muito top
🔥🛠😎
Could you please make a video about customized crossover
( home made)
Yes sure,.
Is a double baffle really necessary for a 8 inch speaker?
Not necessary for 400w and below. This one's a 500w and can peak to 1200w.
Boss San po poydi makaka order Ng Hanyang bults para SA subwoofer?

Thanks 🤗
I Can have a mesuremat for this crate
Cool 😎
Thanks 🥳🌞
@@chrclmnky your welcome uncle 🤩
@@handry92dequeljoe21 🥳👍
How did you manage to paint the inside of the port?
Just sprayed into it. It's not that deep.
sir pwd po pagawa ng subwoofer 8" kasama na ung amplifier
I am srilankan 👍👍👍👍
Hello Pathum.
Could you please give me the name of the software what you using to design the subwoofer boxes...
Bass Box 6 Pro
@@chrclmnky thank you 🙌
Hi, is it possible to use this subwoofer as home theater sub?
yes
My 8" subwoofer 150 RMS which enclosure size ??? Plz tell me
Use the schematics of this box. This is 8
Doesn't the kerfed mdf swell when adding water?
Just a bit water to soften when bending.
@@chrclmnky okay, thanks
nao manda um progeto de sub de 8 pol em pdf ?
Yes, for a few Paypal $
What type of wiring was that and what was the final impedance
Dual 2Ω in parallel is 1Ω.
@@chrclmnky okay I thought that was parallel dang I should have been doing like that type of wiring before way easier than trying to struggle shoving two wires in on the one side
Sir please let me know about the configuration of ported enclosure for SONY NW1202 subwoofer..which has
320wrms power handling
Pay me $10 on PayPal so I can give you computations and schematics.
@@chrclmnky I commented this a couple weeks ago I think suggesting you do build plans and stuff for those of us too far
@@abdomination Yes the schematics are for free. There is a link to the TinkerCad schematics and design in every video in the description. Go check it out.
@@chrclmnky yeah for the ones that you have completed but I was talking about when someone has a specific need or requests like that guy
@@abdomination Yes there were some contacted me through email and I did them calculations and provided schematics for their preferred subwoofers in a particular vehicle in exchange some Paypal dollars. Most just wanted free. Hehe, plotting the schematics and calculating boxes will take me about 4 hours total, and others still complain why not for free. 😁
How much
For Massive titan 15 5000 w 2800 rms, how much should the CAB liter be?
There should be suggested numbers in the enclosed documentation of the product.
@@chrclmnky Unfortunately, I couldn't find it. I searched on the internet, I still couldn't find it. Can we calculate the cabinet according to the watt and rms power?
@@mehmetsabrialtan460they usually work in between 3-8 cubic feet cabinets you can find simple enclosure calculators and port length calculators, but try to find the t/s parameters so you can make it good sounding 👍
Cuales son las mediadas de cada tabla??
Hello, there is a link to the TinkerCad 3D schematics in the video description. You need to create an account and login to TinkerCad so you can start using it and seeing the dimensions. Use laptop or computer web browser to open TinkerCad.
Do you have the link for the screws you used?
They were bought locally and also available mostly everywhere. Just lookup M4 allen head bolts. And M4 T nuts.
@@chrclmnky thanks
I'm from Indonesia
Ok. I think I can ship boxes to your country.
sama
You didnt use screws? Kust brad nails and glue is enough??
They're good. Subwoofer is barely a 500w RMS
Sir anong router bit po ang gamit mo? san nyo po nabili?
Just the normal spiral router bit in cutting the speaker hole. And just the normal roundover bit in cutting the edges. Router bits are sold on almost every online marketplaces.
I need to have you build me a box lol
Sure
@@chrclmnky cool. I live in Dallas Tx but my last box was made by mid mo audio (Ben furlong) it was a really cool box. He’s just extremely busy with personal things. Anywho, I just got this plane MDF slotted vent. I don’t like it and I was just in brain surgery and my sister found a “birch box, Kerf vent” I didn’t get to see it and once I got out of my 8th brain surgery and got to see it, I got a plain mdf slotted box. So I’m a little upset. I just want a single or possibly a duel but for right now just a single 12 with a kerf vent. It’s going in my Toyota. Let me get your Facebook or some type of info to go over this box in detail if that’s ok?
pwede na.pang export
Ano mas maganda lightning lab xls 8 vs 1xl?????
12" sub should be at least a thousand watt to be cool af so XLS.
@CharcoalMonkey Hi I've been watching a few of your videos its quite interesting and beautiful woodwork...but I'm new to the car audio scene, I have a 8" SoundStream Reference R3.8 its 500rms dvc 2ohm, I would like to build a ported enclosure...I need help on this please 😅.
Hello Nitro. Thanks for the feedback. Yes I can help you.
@@chrclmnky Thank you so much for your time , soundstream.com/product/r3-8/ this my subwoofer , can you tell me what the specs my Enclosure should be I'm clueless rite now ... I just want to make full use of it . I'm sorry to ask such a selfish question😅
It's my first ever speaker I bought so yea...I'm a noob

Ok will do. I need to research for that .
@@chrclmnky thankyou brother for prompt reply.i was wondering if i will ever get a reply.
please recommend me.
Logitech z906 subwoofer is rated at 165 watt RMS,8 ohm impedance .
i was wondering if i can use 4 ohm dvc ,if i didn't get any 8 ohm subwoofer.
any luck @charcoal monkey
@@MegaAkshay22 be right back
Qual a medida dessa caixa amigo?
Box is just small for an 8" subwoofer. There is a link to the Tinkercad schematics in the video description. Check it out.
What name of board did you used that box and how much?
MDF (medium density fiberboard)
@@chrclmnky how much?
@@dh4nnt755 why bother?
@@chrclmnky i'll buy sir
sir pwede po ba pakuan na agad yung mdf? or kailangan pa po idrill bago magpako?
Pako na agad. Use brad nailer.
@@chrclmnky pwede po martilyo gamitin pag walang brad nailer? kasi may nakita po ako na kailangan i drill muna kasi mabibiyak daw po yung mdf
Sir gud pm.ano po magandang size ng sub pra po s tricycle?salamat po
