nice skill in making boxes, I am a little behind in that, I made a 10 ct strato treo box, it's just painted black, and I tuned it to 35ish, the port is on right side towards the rear, rear seats delete coupe, put foam padding behind the box, with the subs facing forward and it sounds like it's tuned lower than 30, but again your box making skills are elite.
Your enclosure looks real nice. Nice edges on the carpet. I like the wood grain being shown off a bit. However, I've got to say, 1800 is an awful lot of power to get a 138. Honestly I think you would go further having a sealed enclosure with two passive radiators. Willing to bet your SPL and your perceived volume would increase using less power having just one woofer... Would love to see you prove me wrong!!
I had just one. Then 2 and now 3. Yes this is really just an expensive experiment. However, it's an experiment that was relatively successful. As I stated in the early part. Losing some volume and adding power makes it have a flatter curve and still adding a bit of DB. It's hard to load just one of these woofers and be loud. The box I made for 2 was actually amazing. Every time I turn these woofers up, I'm impressed. As I've built heavy hitting builds, this one still amazes me.
Great job Trevor. Just for kicks can you check the spl with the back seats down? I am just curious as to the difference you are seeing. I have (3) Sundown 10’s in a sealed trunk and found a 4db difference when the back seats were folded down. I sold my Meso 6.5’s and went with the 10’s but wish I would have just bought 2 more 6.5’s. Should have asked Bart for advise. :)
Give me your true opinion of the six and a halves please!! Kicking alot of different ideas around in my head before starting a build or ordering subs. Looking at sundown and skar 6 and 1/2s also. Considering 8-in CT and skar. As you can tell I'm kind of all over, so kind of would like some input. All my friends have 12s and they tell me I'm going to hate the 6 and 1/2s. , But I want to do something different not so boring that everybody has. Also My build will be in a four-door truck with almost no space under the seat so looking for some ideas there as well!! Thanks in advance
Trever if you lean your box on its edge the glue want run out there pal, so you don’t have to keep lifting it back up over and over, lmao and lol. Great comedy bc you make me laugh
Hi Trevor awesome video and setup. Just curious to know how much would a box like this cost to build? I want to go with this same subwoofer and 3 seems really sweet.
Whew, my baffel was close between the subs on my last box....I almost cut it like that, so GLAD I made it work! Was going to use the damn grey stain on my next box, even bought all the stuff already, now Im not so sure....what kind of wood did you get? I bought Birch, sorry if you said already, i confess i FF at beggining!
Bad ass brother can u post the cut sheet I would love to build that same enclosure for 3 sundown u8s for my suv thanks box looks phenomenal love the stain as well
A lot of the Lowes and Home Depots near me will not cut wood for a speaker box. A couple even have signs up saying as much. Most of the time that I can get them to cut it, it's been nowhere near accurate (usually crooked because they run the saw down and then back up without sliding the wood out of the way of the blade) Nowadays I just have them cut it like 1" over and trim it up on my saw at home.
Can't you just tell the store that won't cut sub boxes that you're building a cabinet for your travel trailer's bathroom. Seems legit! It seems shady that they don't want to provide service to all their customers, doesn't it? I would call the corporate offices on the offenders!
In the video I talked about how I compensate for the kerf. I added 1/8" to my depth during the plan phase to allow me to take this space away. Worked out perfectly. Box has an exact tune of 36hz
@@ATCA I must have gotten distracted. That's amazing! It's the same tune I'm going for with a single Sundown X15 V1 build. Need to sound good playing a wide range of music.
@@v3zMedia Note that he said the kerf makes the port length about 2" shorter. You don't count the flared ends of a port when calculating the port length.
For a lot of builds MDF does work fine, the other gentleman is correct. However, in high pressure situations unlike this build, you would be better off going with Baltic birch or something of that level.. In situations with subs taking over 1,000 watts each I would certainly recommend going with the plywood, Double stacked. Maybe 3 layers deep on the baffle
Know what’s good for making a radius (actually it’s an arc)? A compass. And they’re inexpensive…and infinitely adjustable. Beats using Tupperware and paper plates
Nice work man! I might of missed it. But did u account for putting the thickness of the second baffle on? I just saw that you put it on the interior of the box. Just curious. Such a great video.
best channel.....I subscribe to very few channels due to time...and this is one....how much of a difference did you notice adding the super cap....and would there be any benefit to running 2 super caps? thanks and god bless
Is bracing "required". No. Would bracing help? Yes, it usually can. If you look at his design you'll notice there are not any large panels to flex in the first place. Its a narrow rectangular box. If you look at 10:40 you see that the inner section of port wall is helping brace things top to bottom. All the panels look pretty stiff. Maybe the one place you could add a brace would be top to bottom behind the middle sub. If it were a larger box you'd see big gains by adding extra bracing. His small box almost doesn't need it.
So changing the port shape part way through the port (as long as you keep the same area) will not change the air velocity or increase turbulence enough to noticeably effect tuning, output, possible chuffing, etc? Is this dependent on the amount of change in shape, how much power you’re pushing or any other factors that you noticed? Any rules you follow to make this work every time? Interesting idea as I’ve always been told regardless of the shape the port needs to maintain that shape throughout the length.
Hi Trevor, Great build! I have a question for your thoughts. I have 3 Meso 8" subs that I will be getting installed in a few weeks at a local shop in Charlotte NC. My question is about the box build. I have heard that for a small SUV like I have, 2022 Mazda CX5 Turbo, that a box with dubs firing up and port firing rear may produce the best all-around sound. Is there any truth to that and also how does that setup compare to subs back port back, subs up port up? Thanks for your video and sharing your expertise! Thanks! David Ridgeway
Is that the harbor freight router? If so how do you like it? Also what bit are you using on the router to cut out the circles and what model jasper jig are you using?
@@ATCA lol ok.. I’m just looking for one that I can use to cut out the holes for my sub and maybe round the edges of my box so nothing crazy but it would also be good to have one to use for other stuff on future projects.
@mikeganard6751 This one is terrible for cutting holes. The collet doesn't grab tight enough even tho I have it as tight as humanly possibly. The bit will work its way out and ruin your holes. It also broke the latch and will spin and change the depth while cutting. So I put a grade I bolt in ot and I have to use 2 wrenches to change my height. Okay, so you managed to cut your holes without the bit falling out or the depth spinning.. Great, now you just want to change to a round over bit. 4 different wrenches, a hammer, and a chisel later, and you're good to go. That same collet that doesn't grab for shit also won't come out for shit. That's why today it is used for only cutting holes and its still not perfect.
I asked customer support for some advice but they said that because doing so would void warranty they wouldn't talk about it. Does anyone know if a custom subwoofer box for a 12 inch round subwoofer works for an L7S12? The Air Space cubic feet and the mounting depth all match. If I modify it by cutting the mounting hole to the shape of the Solo-Baric. Worst case scenario would be adding a thicker board over the mounting to give the subwoofer more depth to sit on. That all sounds like it's no problem. But would it affect the way it sounds in a negative way?

Hey I’m in high school and I’m new to making boxes well….sort of, I am but I have made a couple and I have done probably upwards of 2 days worth of time researching note taking and etc… I am a quick learner and easy learner I like detail oriented learning, I am wondering would you be willing to videocall and teach me, like yoga did for Luke?

@@ATCA did you ever test what you were actually giving those subs? They 800rms a piece. 2400rms on stock seems not realistic. But the build is nice . I almost bought two myself
@julesbruchez-outperformtra2020 watch the "how lous is 3 8s video. I clamped over 2k. I think 2200w or 2300w at 36hz. But I clamped right at 2k at 47hz There's a few factors at play here. I have a capacitor and factory agm. I'm running at .67 ohm. And the amp makes 2300w at 1 ohm at 13v. So at 14v, it makes about 2700w. At .67 it makes almost 3k. So after impedance rise of around 1 to 1.25 ohm, I'm seeing around 2k-2.3k
normally general rule of thumb you want your face plate of your box to cap your top ...bottom .. and sides... makes for a much stronger box.....it says very detailed... but never says how you tunned the port due to a triangle in the rear and rectangle in the front.. also did not mention what you think the box is tuned to....
@@ATCA interesting... how may square inches is the new port... didn't mention... how long is the port.. didn't mention... you said you shortened it... or how you calculated the port size with the triangle shape in the rear.... but I guess by taking one inch from the top... and adding it to the bottom makes all the other changes the same 🤣
@thomasstott527 port is 30 in2 from opening to the inside. It's whatever length the subbox said minus half the Kerf Radius. Thos box is 36hz wh3n built which I think is exactly what I modeled
First of all if you want it to look good don't use carpet don't use stain you want to use wood it's got a closed grain to it so you can work with it better on my worst box that I ever built it was still awesome to everybody who saw it just saying
@@ATCAdude this box turnt out beautiful…….job well done son!!! …id be super proud of that box if i built it…i actually need to build another box for my 4) audiopipe 6.5”s I have under the seat in my duramax…they are foward firing and sound wayyy better than both up firing and down firing 12’s i had in there previously…..i even used a 4” abs pipe with toilet flange to make a port on the 6.5” box….looks crazy but sounds clear and hits hard, but i know i can build it better if i had a plan instead of just throwing it together!!!….i also have 4) audiopipe 4 stack 12”s in the trunk of my nova in two prefabbed ported boxes…..2) 12’s in each box and those things bump with one skar rp2000.1 amp for each box……for the price audiopipe subs cannot be beat, plus they dont have funky dust caps that end up getting dents in them😊😊😊…..my truck is running a taramps 1800 watt amp for the 6.5”s and i have to turn the amp all the way down to avoid clipping!!!
30sq is a lot for 2 8”s lol.. you should be around 21-26sq given that box size lol.. 30 might be about right by the time you increase the box size and add the third sub.. Should’ve gone to 2.25 net @33 with 34-36sq that’s the honey spot for that setup. Way overthinking the inside of that port entrance.. you don’t need to do all that.. just throw a 1/2 round bit in the router and hit both sides of the end so it’s not square.. even still the amount of difference that is going to make you are never going to hear that anyways lol. You keep adding more and more crap to this box.. keep the port making it shorter and all the while you actually want to be gaining a little volume here.. you need to .75 each net so 2.25. All this over building is actually making the box sound worse then it would if you just focused on the people box with the proper tuning and proper port area. Good job and all and at the end of the day it will slam.. but if you dropped to 2.0 net you should’ve also reduced your port down a little as well. That’s said as big as your orginal box port was this one actually started a little on the smaller side at 31-32 which is where you want to be anyways at 2net. I’d actually argue down to 28 for little more peak and maybe tune it up to 35-37 from my normal 33.. All in all good box lot of work and not a bad design but you got too much software you’re using and not really understanding some of the basics of box building. Kinda a too smart for your own good kinda thing. Oh man I said that and now you’re baffling the inside of the box losing more space.. baffle the outside not the inside 🤦♂️. No one baffles the inside cause it takes away a lot of air! Messes up easy math trying to calculate it just add the board to the outside.. you’re way to overly focused on matching up with that shelf in the trunk that is so irregular anyways lol.. Bro you don’t calculate port area by drivers.. this kills me when people do this it’s simple based on the net of the box nothing else! 14-16” square per cube.. use 16 for bigger xmax subs.. drop to 14 for smaller xmax subs.. but that is the sweet spot and it’s based on volume of the box nothing else.. you could put 20 15’s in a 1 cube box you’re port area is still 16.. or you could put one 6.5 in a 10 cube box and your port is still 160 lol.. this is truly what makes some boxes absolutely slam while others just sound good. If you’re going for high end sq then you need to run calculations on cone area, to volume to mechanical moment of the drivers etc.. but that’s cause anytime you’re doing sq with ported or boxes it’s cause you’re doing more like a home thwarted build and tune it to like 22.5 and then you try to flatten out the response as well as the range with the port. You don’t see many do this is sq for a reason.. its very complicated and needs a massive t line box basically making it the worlds bidders boss stereo lol.. If you’d gone 2.25 34ish sq you’d have been 143ish lol In fact that old box with a redesign on the port t the proper size with just the 2 should be where you’re at on music. Much less burps..

Yeah I had to adjust my boxes when I first started because they would mess the cuts up so now I just grab soils sheets of mdf

Be careful with those! I've seen a million of them come apart or blow up all together.. And there's no rebuild kit. so once they're down they're done
if you built the box flipped you could have done a extended port covering that lip on the left side and just had the 3 subs flush on the right side.
Beautiful speaker

That’s good bro nice job , I’m doing a small build Single Skar ZVX 8 not sure what enclosure to go with yet 🧐
Single 8s are hard. Because the port needs to be super long because the space is super small. It's very hard to get right.
@@ATCA let’s see , I was talking with MB enclosures look at he’s vids on a single 8 sub hitting 130 DB
Definitely a vented box of some kind. Perhaps a folded horn or L-port. If the port is too long to fit inside the box, let it protrude on the outside.
When you do the Kerf Port how much does it change your tune? Does it lower it or increase it at all?

In the beginning it has the cut sheet. But its 11 tall. 14/18 deep and 34 wide
I would have sound deaden the top and bottom of your rear speaker deck for a solid sound.
Already done. 2 layers
Did it make a difference for you?@@ATCA
@@anthonybrown6143 it stopped the rattles
@@ATCA i knew it would bro.
@@anthonybrown6143 I did it before I Even put speakers in this car
I do t get it how you build a box with the por on one side and 2 subs on one side.doesnt that create or cause phase cancellation ...
just a pointer. always remember to set QTY to right nr of subs. cause the airspace from them are added to the design ;) just a tip. uses same program
In subbox.pro?
I'm kinda a newb but what software are you using?
Www.Subbox.pro and TermPro
@@ATCA Termpro isn't cheap lol, lil to much for me, unfortunately.
@@0420Junket you can use winisd. It's free. Does the exact same thing
What program do u use to design the box
Termpro
@@ATCA Termpro and Sub box pro are not the same thing.
@clark2293 yes? And?
R u in Atlanta Georgia?
No
@@ATCAWhere u located? Also how much u charge to build that box for me?

should've added some bracing.. overall great work
On stock ?
Stock and a capacitor
@@ATCA did you ever test what you were actually giving those subs? They 800rms a piece. 2400rms on stock seems not realistic. But the build is nice . I almost bought two myself
@julesbruchez-outperformtra2020 watch the "how lous is 3 8s video. I clamped over 2k. I think 2200w or 2300w at 36hz. But I clamped right at 2k at 47hz
There's a few factors at play here. I have a capacitor and factory agm. I'm running at .67 ohm. And the amp makes 2300w at 1 ohm at 13v. So at 14v, it makes about 2700w. At .67 it makes almost 3k. So after impedance rise of around 1 to 1.25 ohm, I'm seeing around 2k-2.3k
@julesbruchez-outperformtra2020 here's a link. Maybe it'll be more insightful. ua-cam.com/video/86DfaFBuZg8/v-deo.html
@@ATCA that’s crazy for stock.
Could I pay you to make one for my car ?
How many speakers are in the car
How many speakers are on the 4 channel amp
Hey
What happened to the black plastic panel
What do you mean
I have a black panel near my 6x9 in trunk
What stain did you use ?
Walmart gray minwax stain
What’s the name of the software you used?
For which part

Subwoofer box 10" port design
normally general rule of thumb you want your face plate of your box to cap your top ...bottom .. and sides... makes for a much stronger box.....it says very detailed... but never says how you tunned the port due to a triangle in the rear and rectangle in the front.. also did not mention what you think the box is tuned to....
Actually, I did. Taking an inch off the top and adding to the bottom doesn't change the tuning.
@@ATCA interesting... how may square inches is the new port... didn't mention... how long is the port.. didn't mention... you said you shortened it... or how you calculated the port size with the triangle shape in the rear.... but I guess by taking one inch from the top... and adding it to the bottom makes all the other changes the same 🤣
@thomasstott527 port is 30 in2 from opening to the inside. It's whatever length the subbox said minus half the Kerf Radius. Thos box is 36hz wh3n built which I think is exactly what I modeled
What kind of car is that? Trunk doesn't look familiar.

No internal bracing 😮
@@brentbalkaran7028 I touched on that point in the video. You mustn’t have watched it.
First of all if you want it to look good don't use carpet don't use stain you want to use wood it's got a closed grain to it so you can work with it better on my worst box that I ever built it was still awesome to everybody who saw it just saying
Yea. This box looks terrible.
HAATTEERRR'S🤫🤨^^
@Trevor Moon The box looks great to me, screw the haters😅
The box at first with 2 subs even looked awesome. Almost like a factory option, super clean. 👍
@@ATCAdude this box turnt out beautiful…….job well done son!!! …id be super proud of that box if i built it…i actually need to build another box for my 4) audiopipe 6.5”s I have under the seat in my duramax…they are foward firing and sound wayyy better than both up firing and down firing 12’s i had in there previously…..i even used a 4” abs pipe with toilet flange to make a port on the 6.5” box….looks crazy but sounds clear and hits hard, but i know i can build it better if i had a plan instead of just throwing it together!!!….i also have 4) audiopipe 4 stack 12”s in the trunk of my nova in two prefabbed ported boxes…..2) 12’s in each box and those things bump with one skar rp2000.1 amp for each box……for the price audiopipe subs cannot be beat, plus they dont have funky dust caps that end up getting dents in them😊😊😊…..my truck is running a taramps 1800 watt amp for the 6.5”s and i have to turn the amp all the way down to avoid clipping!!!
30sq is a lot for 2 8”s lol.. you should be around 21-26sq given that box size lol.. 30 might be about right by the time you increase the box size and add the third sub..
Should’ve gone to 2.25 net @33 with 34-36sq that’s the honey spot for that setup.
Way overthinking the inside of that port entrance.. you don’t need to do all that.. just throw a 1/2 round bit in the router and hit both sides of the end so it’s not square.. even still the amount of difference that is going to make you are never going to hear that anyways lol.
You keep adding more and more crap to this box.. keep the port making it shorter and all the while you actually want to be gaining a little volume here.. you need to
.75 each net so 2.25. All this over building is actually making the box sound worse then it would if you just focused on the people box with the proper tuning and proper port area.
Good job and all and at the end of the day it will slam.. but if you dropped to 2.0 net you should’ve also reduced your port down a little as well. That’s said as big as your orginal box port was this one actually started a little on the smaller side at 31-32 which is where you want to be anyways at 2net. I’d actually argue down to 28 for little more peak and maybe tune it up to 35-37 from my normal 33..
All in all good box lot of work and not a bad design but you got too much software you’re using and not really understanding some of the basics of box building. Kinda a too smart for your own good kinda thing.
Oh man I said that and now you’re baffling the inside of the box losing more space.. baffle the outside not the inside 🤦♂️. No one baffles the inside cause it takes away a lot of air! Messes up easy math trying to calculate it just add the board to the outside.. you’re way to overly focused on matching up with that shelf in the trunk that is so irregular anyways lol..
Bro you don’t calculate port area by drivers.. this kills me when people do this it’s simple based on the net of the box nothing else!
14-16” square per cube.. use 16 for bigger xmax subs.. drop to 14 for smaller xmax subs.. but that is the sweet spot and it’s based on volume of the box nothing else.. you could put 20 15’s in a 1 cube box you’re port area is still 16.. or you could put one 6.5 in a 10 cube box and your port is still 160 lol.. this is truly what makes some boxes absolutely slam while others just sound good.
If you’re going for high end sq then you need to run calculations on cone area, to volume to mechanical moment of the drivers etc.. but that’s cause anytime you’re doing sq with ported or boxes it’s cause you’re doing more like a home thwarted build and tune it to like 22.5 and then you try to flatten out the response as well as the range with the port. You don’t see many do this is sq for a reason.. its very complicated and needs a massive t line box basically making it the worlds bidders boss stereo lol..
If you’d gone 2.25 34ish sq you’d have been 143ish lol
In fact that old box with a redesign on the port t the proper size with just the 2 should be where you’re at on music. Much less burps..
