I have a jeep CJ5 and I am planning to build a very compact box to go under the back seat. It will only be 5X17X23, I'm going to try two three inch subs. I use your channel to learn about box construction. I have been building things for 30 years and you have totally changed how I use my router. I went from one router I used rarely, to having three dedicated to table mount, jig use and free hand. Thanks Mark! keep building!
That is a beautiful box! Sometimes you just need good sound; it doesn't always have to be neighborhood-shattering insanity! Heck, my media/home theater setup uses four 5.25" drivers for the lows. I live in a cozy little studio apartment, so I needed to play deep and fill the room at low volume, so the neighbors couldn't hear it. It's all about the application!
That box is one of the coolest builds you have done yet. Looks like an art deco furnature piece from the 30"s. Would look super cool built out of some red oak, or other hardwood, and just poly'd.
I did car audio installs in the late 80’s early 90’s. I with i had your channel back then you do awesome work. I was able to build several cars that made it IASCA Nationals back in the day but with what is available now a days we would not stand a chance against the likes of you. I have to say my six 15” Kicker subs in a toyota Tercel was pretty loud. 😁 I had 3 Phoenix gold Route 66 amps along with an M100 and M44 (Look that up on google) they are considered “vintage” now and even then the were a very limited edition. I own 3 of 4 solid in the southern US. For mids and highs I ran all Image Dynamics including the under dash horns that sounded amazing. (Look thst up too..haha) Any thanks great channel
I am building a single 10" downfiring sub enclosure for kicker comp 10 and I am using a labyrinth style port system to attempt to get some good lows out of a small under seat enclosure. Ill keep you posted this is my first box! Following your videos has helped me immensely! Mahalo from the 808!!!
Not waxing your car, but you are probably one of the top 2 or 3 fabricators out there! Everything you do is DOPE! I even saw a video where you did one of Price’s boxes! You are the man! Just subbed
Lol . You have had my subscription, but let’s be honest . Most of us will never be as good as you and sometimes I feel like your flexing on all of us out here with you super power car audio brain! I love it ! Keep it coming
Have you tried spray on truck bed liner? In place of carpet. No pet hair stuck to it. Wipe it off easy with a damp rag. Water proof coating. Take a lot of damage from things sliding around. Easy to repaint and do touch up repaires.
I had a pair of 15" orion 2ntense subs in a sealed downfire enclosure back in 1997. Powered them with orions "the beast" amp. It produced phenomenal accurate bass with no distortion.
Man that's a great looking box. Wonder if CAF would be willing to start making videos with recommendations on subs and enclosures to maximize space available in a wide variety of vehicles? That would be useful to truck owners like me who are fishing around trying to get the right sound but have a hard time finding the right equipment for the space available. If CAF ever picked up on that idea I'd be watching those vids for sure. We all go through different vehicles in our lives so it would be helpful sooner and later to have a library of various vehicles and system setups.
I use that adhesive at work extensivly. The charcoal filter that you showed have a useable life of around 3 days outside of the package. You should put new filters on every time you use that adhesive. Also, if you have a batch that gets a bit clumpy you can kick it back with MEK.
The finished box looks very good, keep up the good work, as always if there are any new templates please make a video, I've learnt alot of handy techniques from you great stuff.
Some people don't want the earth shattering bass that knocks pictures off your neighbors walls. I just want enough to have a good sounding bass without having to find every loose nut and bolt on my car to stop rattles.
I always loved audio control products they are always a step ahead,even oldschool xovers i had in the past were the best.quality for a price.if i can afford a 5 channel a.c amp i would get it a long time ago
Amazing looking enclosure man. I've been trying to decide what my next build will be and I think I'm going to try something like this. Great job on the build and video. Thank you.
@@ThatSoto not even close. Instead of more compact and detailed, I went with huge and basic lol removed the back seat from my SUV for a ported box housing 4 15s.
What would be the minimum space required for the bottom open space below the speakers? If the space was too small, wouldn't it act like a port and effectively turn the box into a 4th order bandpass?
Dammit Mark, that box looks amazing. I'd love to know what it really sounds like because there's no substitute for being there in person. If you could give an indication of SPL it would be appreciated (I know it's not the purpose of the build, I'm just curious what that rare combination could do).
i once used super 77 do do my door cards in a car i previously owned. it was great all through fall, winter and spring but as soon as it got hot the super 77 let go and all 4 door cards started to sag... try headliner adhesive, it has about the same bond but with a higher temperature range
I watch your videos A LOT!! First, I wish I could afford some of the setups you do. Secondly, it would also help if I actually lived near you. Love watching. Slowly learning a lot about car audio quality!!
Whoah! That DM_RTA is awesome, but whoally moally it's got a gold star price tag .. Great job on the videos though, I'm absolutely stuffed with good ideas (a few things are still in the mail but maybe by the weekend I can start building) ..
That came out great. I’m working with limited space in my 17 Ram 1500 quad cab. I’m trying to plan out a build with good bass for under the rear bench seat.
I’m working on getting some measurements for under my rear seat in my crew cab Colorado to maybe put on shallow mount 8” under the seat. There is maybe 4” of height under the seat. Not sure if it would be worth the effort.
I have a yukon xl 05 and had a big box with 2 15s then I had to move so pulled them out plus I'm older now and been trying to do something like this just a lil bigger need the space kids are older and into sports
Quick question. I’ve got a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JKU w/ the Alpine Premium Audio System. It has an 8” floor-mounted sub in the back, but I bought a JL T10W3-D4 shallow-mount sub to put in its place. If you take out the factory sub enclosure; the well in the floor is about 5.5” deep, 12.5” long, and 26.5” wide. I want to maintain my cargo area without a box protruding too high up off the floor, because I use the space a lot; such as sleeping in the back (camping), loading snowboards, etc. However, the audio shop installing it said that if I use this sub, there won’t be enough space for it without building a box that rises 6” above the floor level. (That’s weird, cus it’s a shallow mount sub). They said they’ll have to install a standard JL 10 because the conical shape will somehow fit better, and then they can build an enclosure that only rises 1-2” above the floor level, so it’s still relatively flat in the back. Also, that the full-size JL 10 will perform better than the shallow-mount. So my question is … How does this make any sense??? :P Are they just trying to sell me a new sub, since I already had my own equipment to be installed, or is what they’re telling me the truth? I feel like perhaps having all my own gear, the shop will only make money on the install, which in turn goes to paying their techs; whereas if they sell me a new sub, then at least they make some profit. Am I right, or are they right? It just doesn’t make sense to me how the shallow-mount won’t properly fit, and would need a bigger enclosure, versus a full-size sub that wouldn’t??? That just sounds paradoxical; the whole point of the shallow-mount is to save space. So, wth??? Are these guys ripping me off, or is this about some audio-expertise stuff, I’m not aware of? I admittedly don’t know anything about electrical/audio etc. but I don’t wanna be taken advantage of for $1500+ either :\
What to say, amazing story!! What about the center channel, the speakers cabling and the source connection to the new amplifier system? I have a Grand Cherokee :-)
Hey Mark, long time subscriber after I discovered your Jeep Wrangler build (at the time, I just bought my own Jeep and learned from you how to build my own car audio). I was hoping to buy the new Jeep Gladiator now that it's finally out and was thinking on re-building it's sound system too from the ground up (keeping the 9" touch screen navigation system though). Would you ever consider doing a video showing your version and how you would customize everything?
Do you have a similar design just without all of the accountrement? I need a dual 10" for my 5th gen 4runner and I love your design. Just trying for a design that has more stealth and easier to build.
Is there any advantage to only having the front of a down firing enclosure open vs front/sides/back open? Base is non-directional, right? So it shouldn't matter?
I also have a Jeep Grand Cherokee and am considering a 300 watt downfiring sub. Would you recommend it? My husband says downfiring isn’t that good but I want something that leaves me space for cargo. Great video!
Mark I have been following you ever since I had a stroke I love having base in my cars but I never thought I would drive again . I had to make some adjustments but I have been thinking on what rote to take. But I had to go for a smaller car and higher. So I ended with a ford ecosport ses 2018 I would like a down firing. And would like it to be the entire floor just because I have a walker to transport. What you think?
Did you see the build of this box? If not, check it out here: th-cam.com/video/ZFWCRMa2zFo/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for watching guys!
Saw this one, already. I was inquiring about, how do you fasten the enclosure to rhe vehicle? Is the enclosure fasten to the vehicle at all?
I saw the videos but was curious if you also sold boxes like this.
What's the name of the first test song
Name of beat @6:07
How much space needs to be between the speaker and the floor, 1 1/2"? 2"? 3"?
dude this thing looks like it could have been purchased as an optional feature when you buy a new car. great job, it looks amazing, as allways :D
Mighty impressive for a guy who doesn’t install for a living, I love watching your videos, so well done!

add a tactile transducer!
5.25"s are crossed over at 120hz, with a 2'x4' DMT panel for the mids and highs. :D
That box is one of the coolest builds you have done yet. Looks like an art deco furnature piece from the 30"s. Would look super cool built out of some red oak, or other hardwood, and just poly'd.
I love it! Wish you would do a oldschool install. With what and all you know now, it would be incredible!

Killer enclosure as always! Those are actually 2 of my favorite TH-cam tracks to demo with as well.
The finished enclosure looks excellent, fits perfectly with the trunk design!
This guy is a real expert. My respect from México.
What a beautiful build. Great craftsmanship
You’re a true pro. Your work is art. Thank you for showing us your work

thats actually really clean looking. I like it
It looks amazing. Really like how it matches the vehicle interior.

Looking forward to seeing the rest of this build!
You are the best mr Mark 👍👍👍
The box looks amazing!! You have mad skillz my friend!!!
Dope work brother. Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming thru
I haven’t found anyone in Chicago this good. Most here don’t pay attention to detail.
Gorgeous as always Mark! It came out amazing
I always loved audio control products they are always a step ahead,even oldschool xovers i had in the past were the best.quality for a price.if i can afford a 5 channel a.c amp i would get it a long time ago
Massive design
Very nice box. I bet it sounds really clean in person.
You have to be one of the cleverer installers !
Amazing looking enclosure man. I've been trying to decide what my next build will be and I think I'm going to try something like this. Great job on the build and video. Thank you.
Did you ever make something like this?
@@ThatSoto not even close. Instead of more compact and detailed, I went with huge and basic lol removed the back seat from my SUV for a ported box housing 4 15s.
You are so sick at this I wish I knew as much as you about audio
Very clean work. I want to do something like this in my 19 f250.
I love what I have seen you done it’s beautiful
When you make the last trim panel you should add the SMD neo magnet speaker connector
Wow - that carpet+vinyl wrap looks absolutely incredible!
What would be the minimum space required for the bottom open space below the speakers? If the space was too small, wouldn't it act like a port and effectively turn the box into a 4th order bandpass?
What an install
Your work is always top notch!
Great info as always.
Dammit Mark, that box looks amazing. I'd love to know what it really sounds like because there's no substitute for being there in person. If you could give an indication of SPL it would be appreciated (I know it's not the purpose of the build, I'm just curious what that rare combination could do).
i once used super 77 do do my door cards in a car i previously owned. it was great all through fall, winter and spring but as soon as it got hot the super 77 let go and all 4 door cards started to sag... try headliner adhesive, it has about the same bond but with a higher temperature range
I watch your videos A LOT!! First, I wish I could afford some of the setups you do. Secondly, it would also help if I actually lived near you. Love watching. Slowly learning a lot about car audio quality!!
beautiful,this is what i need for my outback
That is incredible fabrication. Well done on every detail!
Mark, great video. One question though. I wanted to know, how did you fasten the enclosure? What fastening system works best for this type of install?
Whoah! That DM_RTA is awesome, but whoally moally it's got a gold star price tag .. Great job on the videos though, I'm absolutely stuffed with good ideas (a few things are still in the mail but maybe by the weekend I can start building) ..
This is amazing
A good sharp razor blade is also very important when doing vinyl and carpet work.
How about some vids for routing by hand for beginners?
Damn that box looks beautiful
That came out great. I’m working with limited space in my 17 Ram 1500 quad cab. I’m trying to plan out a build with good bass for under the rear bench seat.
Wow, that came out beautiful.
Very NICE build bro!!!
Came out awesome as usual bud 👍🏻
Simplesmente o melhor acabamento em caixas de som para carro 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻.
I’m working on getting some measurements for under my rear seat in my crew cab Colorado to maybe put on shallow mount 8” under the seat. There is maybe 4” of height under the seat. Not sure if it would be worth the effort.
Do down firing subs have to be on the floor or can they be mounted to the back of some rear seats?
sounds good
Awesome video Mark! Thanks!
I have a yukon xl 05 and had a big box with 2 15s then I had to move so pulled them out plus I'm older now and been trying to do something like this just a lil bigger need the space kids are older and into sports
Awesome and professional
If you mass produced these, I would totally buy one. Just picked up my 2019 Jeep Rubicon 2 door and want more bass!
There are some companies making these style boxes for trucks and such.
The box came out very good looking. Professional status
Man that nice work.
Damn this guy does some beautiful work
Awesome work bro !!
Awesome work mark. Is the top panel covered in vinyl? it looks rubberised
You have similar configurations for 2012 Buick Regal Turbo? Like the upgraded "stock" look 👍🔥💯
Nice work Inspiring! That new Audio Control is a must have..
Someone from kicker must have scene this then they made there trtp downfiring comp Rt clean work my man
I need to have this built for my grand Cherokee, but with dual 15" subs.
U could use the same applications to build ur own... Just find some material that match ur vehicle and go from there
I wished I had about the built like this one
Nice box!

Killer work my man!

you are very good and meticulous !
Do you have a similar design just without all of the accountrement? I need a dual 10" for my 5th gen 4runner and I love your design. Just trying for a design that has more stealth and easier to build.
Please make a series for the type of build to music genre. Thank you.
Does it matter if it's over carpet or is it better to put something under it like plywood? ( if you have room)
Nice
Can you make an entire detailed video on a full basic installation on tweeters, door speakers, amp, sub?? Or do you already have a video on that?👍👍👍👍👍
Big fan! Can you provide your opinion about using a TW5 instead?
Would love something like that for my regular cab Ranger Edge.
No much room and the single kicker sub takes too much room.
I'd buy this
Looks nice I need you to make me one. Maybe 4 8’s instead
Is there any advantage to only having the front of a down firing enclosure open vs front/sides/back open? Base is non-directional, right? So it shouldn't matter?
I also have a Jeep Grand Cherokee and am considering a 300 watt downfiring sub. Would you recommend it? My husband says downfiring isn’t that good but I want something that leaves me space for cargo. Great video!
