The quality of the videos on this channel is insane!
Above standards !! 100% this guy is good ! So much effort ! Hat's off to him !!
The audio as well.
Agreed! First video I've even seen and first time I've seen this channel at all.
Subscribed with all notifications straight away.
Stellar content, narration, workflow, camera angles, and even comic relief in the beginning with the 'angry typing' 🤣
The memes inserted are a done so with the proper balance as well.
One very _very_ minor critique: the background music being the same for the entire video, did kinda get old. It's not that it's bad, but the same music the entire time I think would be greatly improved even if only varied by maybe 3 different songs vs just one. Just my honest opinion.
Cheers!
Couldn't agree more mate!
@@HexiBase what is the 2nd test song please? PS Love your videos.
Well placed giggity lol
15:29
Screw... giiggggity
Came for the cool print. Subscribed for the giggity.
HOLY SHIT, MAN- 136 dB?!
Hands down: THAT is amazing.
and from that tiny sub!!!
thats shit , some 8s do 171dB-A
@@redford6110 as he said. he could have get higher if he made a SPL Specific box. also he doesnt have any modifications in the car to make the SPL higher. This box is extremely good still for being an all around box. Decent SPL with good bass response.
@@Majorowsky1337 ye sorry i was pissed
@@redford6110 That's a 6.5 inch though.
I’m so happy that such a skilled audio professional has a channel to share with us. So technical and complete with explanation I love it . Thank you
25Hz, in a car with small trunk, from a single 6.5'' ... i find really impressive
50hz
Need a 10" in the enclosure
@@chickenman7032 Na, a 12, 15, 18 ect ect. This is VERY good for its size.
@@bdc211 it did 25hz in the frequency response graph the 50hz was the spl test
Every time I watch one of your epic videos, I'm blown away by your combination of audio engineering, mechanical design, prototype-production builds, and audio/video production capabilities. I've spec'd, built, and installed several car audio systems in my 20 years of tinkering, and like any skillset I'm proud of, I love finding out one day that I don't know shit! That means there's a whole new world to learn, with more project rabbit holes to dive down, and many mistakes to make on the way to building something epic. Bravo Sir!
Nice. Definitely better looking than the typical bass tube.
@@HexiBase Manufacturers should work with you to mass manufacture some of your designs! Even put your name on the product as the HexiBase line of enclosures.
Once again well done. Model. Printing. Video, editing, and testing. Seeing this come off a printer is exciting! I can only imagine what the future of these printers hold!
Design, Execution, Review, Presentation, Video and Edit. All on such high level.
Must say every time i see that you uploaded a video i am hyped to watch it , love your content .Greetings from Germany
Grüße aus Essen😂
I've watched this guy for years now he knows his shit....
I've watched since the walled w7s in the suv
Once again Pete comes through with some of the best content on youtube. Thanks for making such high effort videos! I don't care much for 3d printing but you make it interesting enough to watch. I'm always along for the ride.
3D printing is the future
Outstanding! Thanks for your transparency, dedication to presenting a quality video, and contribution to progressing the 3D build community . Really impressive build and final result from a 6.5”.
Can I just point out that it is a treat to listen to your videos.
like, it's obvious why your videos sound so good but they really do stand out!
You just continue to impress more and more with each video. This is your best yet and the results were unreal. I came here from the 3D Printing side of TH-cam and have always loved audio too. You just sold a TON of those subs! I picked one up and plan on doing this print with a larger nozzle. Thanks for providing the files.
Man, I was stunned and amazed by the kind of deep bass it could produce. This is very portable and cute.
Thank you. Can't wait to own one because I love music
which part was cute? Your comment is very confusing.
Another truly enjoyable piece of content. 136dB with a reasonably flat response (where it matters) from a single 6.5in is an achievement and must have been fulfilling after all your hard work. Thanks for sharing 👊
So much information, I can't even process it all but I love coming back to this channel again and again!
Not only is the 136db off the hook for a 6.5" sub, but the fact that at 20hz it's playing 10db louder than your 139db 10" printed sub is mind blowing! It also plays deeper and smoother than that 10 with much less cone excursion. Nice work!
Because I'm "that way" I would probably want to try and tweak things a little bit to bring up that 20-30hz dip and kill that 50-60hz peak. But that's being super super super picky and like I said something probably only I and 2 other people on the earth would bother with.
That is awesome! I just got done printing the dual 3-inch subwoofer box you designed. Looking forward to getting it put together and hearing it tonight! Going in the golf cart!
Can’t wait to see the evolution of you taking on 8-12” subs with 3d. Always Amazing depth and coverage for your projects!
3d printers are definitely game changers
I really wanna try and make this box in mdf, since i no 3d printer have. i just have a hard time getting the dimensions and make a blueprint that i can print out to start cutting the wood for each layer.
but i really love this, almost makes me wanna pay 3x the amount of money it will cost for me to make it in MDF to go get it printet from someone
I see an upload from Hexi... I watch asap!
That is an enclosure anyone would be proud to have, well done sir
Your patience on waiting for a print to complete is amazing! Very cool and thanks for sharing. BTW, Happy New Year.
I love this channel so much. Its really cool to me the idea that if my sub and speakers provide a near flat response across the full spectrum, your car test should theoretically sound like I'm really there. Of course my setup isn't quite in the major leagues (*yet*) but its cool to think about lol.
despite the problems you had, it's really impressive that your first real print was an 8 day long print and it came out flawless.
That little sub goes hard. The bass notes are defined crisp and unmuffled
Young man you have a GOD given talent. Your detailed videos are by far the best and being able to share your knowledge with this kind of detail where everyone can understand. Is spot on. 👌 TY
Extreme respect from a UK pensioner 50 yrs in audio
Bass wave on the woofer is soooo satisfying....👌😊
Pete - you never cease to impress, and Sophie makes a great hand model. Thanks!
Impressive (again).
Well about the printer: I think it depends on your desires whether this is a good printer or not. If you are a technician, this printer is a good starting point.
You can gradually transform it to a great printer. The low price of the printer already indicates that this is not a printer that will forfill its promises instantly. ;) .
When one needs a printer that just does its job an can print objects this size, be prepared to spend 20 times as much as this one.
Once I started with a sub $300 Ultimaker clone. Now is has turned in a very good production machine. But.. At a price. The benefit on the other side is that you learn to know your printer by heart. Which comes in handy when you need to do some troubleshooting. Which will happen. ;).
Anyway I enjoy your analytical approach a lot. Your 3d printed Tangband design gives me a lot of pleasure as my favorite couple of desktop speakers.
Patience, skills and time allocated to do this is kind of a video is really impressive. Great job, keep up!
Clearly a professional at work here. The knowledge that he so easily voices and demonstrates by bringing those ideas into existence is just absolutely amazing to me. So great to see such professionalism
There’s nothing like your videos. Honestly I haven’t watch a video from you in over 3 years and I regret it but mainly due to not having much time. You are a master sir, I’m normally into spl but watching you makes me want to build a system for Sound quality as the major object. You’re awesome. Thanks for all your hard work.
Pete- You videos and content are excellent! Always look forward to new postings from you. Keep up the great work!
Not only is this incredible design and inspiring as all hell, but the audio quality of this video (redundancy!?!? Haha) is remarkable. Your bass test sounded and felt amazing on my home system. Your voice volume compared to the audio test volume shows how loud it was in real time. Just.....WOW. Amazing job. Thanks for uploading the project, too!
DIY TIP of the Day... Next time you need to use time sensitive glue or epoxy, mix the two parts as one does, scrape it all up and wipe it in to the corner of a plastic sammich or heavier bag if the mix is thick. Ring it all to the corner as best you can. Then right behind that, twist the bag several times, to pinch off the epoxy and cut off the tiny corner of the bag, approx no more then to create an 1/8" hole. As you continue to twist the bag behind the epoxy, it will squirt out in a fine line, as if you are running a caulking gun. Allows the installation of the glues/epoxy to be much cleaner, instead of a toothpick or pop sickle stick.. if you cut a really dinky hole, one can get very precise with the placement of the line(s)... good luck

I’m a 52 year Retired old school car audio installer ran into this channel, amazing job very creative you youngsters have so many resources,I had to use scientific calculator and a RTA wish I could use this technology back then .
But you can use it now! Don't let age discourage you! Just experiment and have fun :)
Listening through Beyerdynamic DT880 Pro's going through a Benchmark DAC2 HGC, but I'm going to have to listen back through this video on my studio monitors and sealed 15" so I can feel it! This sub sounds incredible! I can't believe how smooth the response sounds and how balanced it is across its target frequency range! Love your content and I can't wait for the next Video!!!
14:52
That was a good idea, thinking about a fill spot for the epoxy to "sit in" where it seals the space around the speaker wire.
Nice!
@@HexiBase I imagine that it did.
But- the results- Wow!
Such a good efficient design, too.
Job well done, sir
Shit.....the built in wire-splitter/router was awesome.
Nice build very neatly done, but do you think the small hole would have made a difference over-all ?
@@gagreeneeee I've witnessed small air leaks between chambers on many of his designs over the years. In multiple cases it made enough of a difference that it was easy for him to model & even predict where the leaks were, even if external to the enclosure.
Absolutely an amazing build. I really admire your skills brother!👊🏼
Great videos! Alot of us could only dream of having the tools you do to build the crazy cool enclosures you design. Amazed
I'm totally stunned by the high SPL of that enclosure. Well done sir!
Future Video suggestion:
As you mention in this video your test of infill percentage shows that higher infill gives better results.
In Cura you have a setting called "infill line multiplier", what is does is that it makes the infill walls thicker by making the "infill walls" multiple lines. A test of how this effects acoustic performance at the same infill percentage with higher infill line count could be very interesting :) (Keep up the great work)
Amazing video quality, nice engineering and crazy loud sub mate. Keep it up!
one easy mesurement tip: just place your hand on the subwoover enclosure and play different sub frequencies loud.
if you can feel no enclosure vibrations, you did a good job :)
3d printing is about to change the world of Bass box building as we know it. Way more complex box builds than we could ever hope to do with wood. Even if you cnc and slab build a transmission line. Theyll get smaller and be way louder. Amazing video. Watching as i print the bass section for a home stere tower now! About 5hrs left and hopefully it doesnt fail and i can test it with a 4in dayton audio sub. Then start in the upper with 4 fullrange 2.5in dayton also. Douk audio amps and eq. I use to do car stereo in HS. Kinda brings back memories!
Awesome new design for the bass tube. Would love to have one if it would fit in my ranger.
Absolutely love the channel!
I see that you're perhaps more car-audio oriented.
But as a home theater guy I would absolutely love to see a project surrounding that.
Sub, Center, Satellite (L/R/Surr), Sealing ("atmos").
It would also fit nicely with the "big sound out of a small enclosure volume" that seem to be the overall theme of the 3D-printed enclosures.
this guy really knows what his good at, and of course the team. all are in great detail. wish i could have that in my place.
As always, thank You for Your video! It's always a pleasure to see with what ingenous designs you come up to print.
I build 3D printed speakers myself, but as they run with 4 inch drivers they of course don't produce such deep bass.
And again, you inspire me incredibly to go more deeply into sound reproduction and as I'm currently a post graduate in mechanical engineering, I'm passing a couple of courses on
audio and vibrations.

Wow- That really came out well
Very nice! I could really a lot of low-end from my earbuds. Well done 👍
Really incredible performance. I love the design! I honestly couldn't tell you how I came across your videos and channel, but I'm glad I did. 3D printing is something I have always found interesting. Your content is very very informative and descriptions are very complete. Being an audiofile myself, I really appreciate everything you I've seen thus far. I look forward to seeing what's to come!
By the way I'm usually watching your videos in my off time at home on the big screen, with the surround sound. The format and the quality, makes for great informative entertainment.
Dude, your videos are soo high quality, informative and just down right amazing!
You could half the print time.
Just RMA all the parts untill you have a second printer!
That is amazing. 136 from a 6.5?! Great job man.
That's a really neat box! Definitely one of the best looking bass tubes I've seen!
Awesome design and color choice. Always a joy to watch your videos!
The only channel I recommend, Hexi and D'amore engineering need to come together and surprise us.
This takes the "what's in trunk videos" to new level. Amazing work, Hexi!
this was amazing.. haven't watched you channel for a long time.. nice to see you kept up the quality and then some..
that being said, i loooove big speakers.
This was an awesome video showcasing the feasibility of 3D printing!
The dude is so smart I feel dumb after watching his videos
for real
@@bdc211 I'd like to get him high one time
Every time. But it’s so cool!
@@Psy6o oh man somebody send him some gummies! Time for a present!
@@johnnycorn7225 he is the man
Well done and designed. You need a faster 3D printer so that we don't have to wait a month for an update!
Top notch content as usual. Thanks for all the detail through the whole process.
That's a cool port design. I love that smooth flare on the inner port.
How to make an audiophile interested in 3D printers 101.
Nop
basically no
I've used one to make speaker parts. It's great being able to make custom pieces/designs.
Yeah, seriously.
Exactly. Ive been looking for a reason to get into it. This has done it.
Beauuuuutiful video, man. Well done!
I am so glad you posted the printing times, because I now realise I have no patience to replicate this thing, despite how impressive it is. Saved me a month of my life + whatever the printer cost ;)
off topic but it is nice to come back to this channel after 6 years and still seeing yall together and well
You, my friend, define “Next Level”
congrats on 100k!
@@HexiBase it was literally perfect
That driver has one hell of a magnet! Impressive enclosure design and 3d-print! My puny little diy speaker has had a hot supper as i watched this video 🔥
HexiBASS!
Fantastic design, build, and video. The end result sounds amazing (Jabra on-ear headphones with decent low end). This makes me want to up my car audio and 3D printing game right now!
The amount of dedication, work, quality and soul in these videos is outstanding, Pete! The sub sounded great with my headphones.
Oh, and that 136dB.. From a non wood cabinet. Technology has come a long way!
The KEF KC62 looks interesting as well
I bought a Makergear M3ID on a refurb sale a couple years ago as my first printer and boy does this video make me glad I did. It comes fully assembled and I have only had to level it a few times in the couple years I've had it. It is massively more expensive than this printer, but it's also made in Ohio, and the frame is fully steel. Definitely recommend it for people that have the cash to spend on it and want a foolproof independent dual extruder printer.
Wow, amazing. I never thought this would be possible. Congrats on a job well done.
Thanks for sharing your videos and skills !!!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Idea: Use tesla valve as a tube deflector, allowing at low volumes to behave as a bass reflex and when power is increased it behaves as an infinite closed box, protecting the subwoofer from over excursion and distortion.
Love the builds and attention to detail giggity
simply amazing.
couldnt get enuff of ur vids to explore all the possibilities in designs.
Holy f... I could feel that bass with headphones! hope I can scale down this for a smaller sub and my prusa
Could probably rotate the vents around a bit to do this on a prusa....
If you make it smaller it won't go as low. For most music 30hz is enaugh. Lower than that music is getting a lot more rare. Also you need the right driver off course.
sound demo impressive, listening on tang band set all enclosures are 3d printed, w3 2141 full range drivers and w5 1138smf sub
Sir, you are a mad man for having the patience with problem solving for what is pretty much manufacturer faults & we greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much for these fascinating videos, which I usually have to watch multiple times for the information to sink into my pea brain lol. Stay safe 😎👍
I highly appriciate your videos, high quality in every aspect!
Would love to see this with EU revision as these AD-subs get bongers expensive thrown over the pond.
@@HexiBase whoah! Dont be crossing any ponds, we need you here.
@@HexiBase , because of nostalgia brand loyalty or would you choose other subs for specific values?
@@HexiBase I bet the AD (Audio Development) Vipera F6 would be unreal in that enclosure.
I love to see 12" or 15" version. It would INSANE after see this brilliant engineering! I'm a tech guy but soldering And heat guns that's another level, you skills bro!
Can't believe I had missed this video!
Love your content Hexibase.
Well then! I could get used to this! I enjoyed this very much. Your persistence is inspiring!
Always excited to see an upload because I know it's always really interesting.
What software do you use to estimate (Guesstimate?) your response in the car? And how do you model a subwoofer with more than one ported chamber like this? I'm familiar with WinISD for basic stuff. But don't think I know how to model for an enclosure like this.
This must be your loudest bass print yet. Way to maximize the 6 inch sub
Hello from central NC USA! Been subscribed for a couple months now after looking look some for info on transmission lines. Super great content and knowledge you give us. I'm learning a lot. Thanks for these high quality videos.
I also enjoy the hidden humor you add in. 😂 I read the message on the screen @3.09 Good stuff! Haha
Quick tip. For the JB weld they make mixing nozzles that attach directly to the epoxy tubes. They are super handy to get JB weld into tight spaces.
You make some awesome designs and videos!
@@HexiBase just copy what the extruders do. Retract the handle to relieve pressure and it will stop coming out of the tip. They are actually pretty good.
Awesome build! Unrelated question though, would you recommend putting some type of damping material inside the enclosure?
Now lets see those custom door panels with integrated 8" sub enclosures!
👍👍 This was all better than I expected. You reviewed a 3D printer and made a quality sub enclosure. The printer performed well for what it is and the sub performance was very nice. 135 DB from a single 6" is quite impressive. Well done.
Absolutely unbelievable results from a 6.5" driver. As someone who's recently entered the 3D printing world, the idea of one of these prints failing halfway through gives me quite a bit of anxiety. I can't believe that you just give the design files away. It must have taken forever to create them not to mention how well they work. Thanks again for your quality content. Always looking forward to the next video.
WOW that is seriously impressive! MASSIVE respect for that amount of work man. IT goes loud and low and seems to sound super tight
