10 Car Audio Build Hacks everyone forgets!

- When building a custom car audio subwoofer box, amplifier rack, or speaker adapters there are many time savings techniques we can use. Although each technique may save just a few seconds, multiplied by a few thousand times throughout a build, these "build hacks" can result in significant time savings. Here's 10 that I love to use often in custom car audio!

As a cabinet maker, I knew all of these hacks. The washer trick is a great tip for fitting inside odd shapes too. Gets you closer to the shape while still leaving enough material to fine tune it.
As a first time car audio builder, your videos have been a great help
Glad to help
I haven't done car audio stuff in 20 years and I love your videos.
I appreciate that!
I recently made some foam speaker rings out of a piece of those interlocking foam garage mats. Lol. Took some measurements and cut them out on a laser. Needed something between the door panel and door. Was the perfect thickness.
Another Quick-Step that I like to use, when you were making the cardboard compass to draw the circle, anytime I'm using a measurement that contains fractions (everybody hates dealing with fractions) like a hole that's 9-11/16", I just draw out 9-11/16" on the cardboard, add an inch, then I fold it in half to find the center. That extra inch just gives me a spot to push my pencil tip through.
Very interesting! If you do part 2, please include your favourite hack to transfer factory hole pattern to a mounting plate. For use in a case you want your amp rack mounted to the car using factory holes in the car body.
I guess it’s not just car audio specific. But I like to use house wire to fish wire behind stuff in the car and around stuff without having to remove panels
Hello and thank you for all of the unbelievably clean and superior work. Also thank you for all the advice on different vendors for quality gear. I live in Anaheim Ca and am planning my classic car audio insall. Please (if possible)could you consider doing a video on a classic car(1950’s-60’s) audio install/ recommendation.
Rear deck, sound denting, amp rack,ect. Thanks again for all of the great content.
Great videos and information
Great video Mark.
Thanks 👍 Appreciate that.
You could also use a protractor to make those circles
less than 2 minutes in 🤯
after watching whole video 🧙
I love watching your videos it’s helping me a lot with my personal audio build however I feel like I hit a wall trying to find out how to wire what I think is very common which is the Lc2i pro from factory head unit to audio control epicenter and finally two Amps I’ve been looking everywhere first your channel then other videos finally audio controls page for diagrams and not one place can I find a diagram for that or explanation on step by step ID APPRECIATE IT A WHOLE LOT of you would make a video on a set up like that or a diagram explaining it thank you in advance keep the good stuff rolling 💪🏽
Excellent work congratulations is the best.
I wish if you could make a video for a W210 mercedes installation of a super system!!!
Your videos are really awesome
Love from india
Do you have a custom 10"sub box for 2021chevy colorado lt with chevy light on it.
What if you for example put a 15" subwoofer in the car to get deep bass, and at the same time a 10" subwoofer in the same car to get tight bass. Could you combine the two subwoofers to get a more complete bass sound?
That’s kind of what I have I have a 8” and 10” plus just added 12” all have there own amps and I think it sounds good not sure if it’s frowned upon or considered stupid or not
Have something puzzling me a while now, let's say I have two 10" at 500W RMS each vs One 10" at 1000w RMS which would be better?
In terms of voice/midbass!
Why not both?
@@FiglioBastardo I was curious which would be better
@@ArchangelMicheal-vk6jm oh I know. I should have put *insert-why-not both-meme.png"
@@FiglioBastardo LOL
I've got two full-size 12s that im having to put in a box that only has 2/3 the air recommended for them, i know they wont be performing to there full potential but will they still be fine
Maynard James Keenan would be Proud. 😜
I was thinking buying the epicenter micro for a subwoofer amp for my 2015 ford focus ST with the OEM Sony sound system but I don't know if the epicenter micro will work on my car.
Hi would 4 midrange speaker of 180rms each do good in a 500.4
Do you make and sell custom sub boxes for trucks.
I have put 2 15 in subs in the spare tier localtion

Definitely a capacitor
Where did you get the speaker hole template, im looking for 12tw3 specifically?
I been looking for them myself. As i install and build all my friends systems and my own. And making boxes would be alot easier that way. But never a link to them
Do rear speakers in a MDF table for a hatchback car need to be in a closed inclosure? or the back of the speaker where the magnet is can be open?
Whats most important is that the rear wave is isolated from the front. Many car audio speakers are designed for an "infinite baffle" application, so in a car a really large air space essentially with a baffle separating the front and rear. For simplicity sake though a sealed enclosure can be made, but not required
@@CarAudioFabrication How do I isolate the rear wave from the front in a hatchback car?
Make sure that, behind the speaker, anywhere that air can get through is sealed. You can use either permanent sealants or effective (probably custom) gaskets. Also, you may need to make extra walls for the speaker(s). It would end up being something like a mini trunk.
Note: Keep in mind the importance of the car's pressure-relief vents.
@@romano5785 it depends where speakers are mounted....on old hatch back some had a package tray that opened with rear hatch...it also would separate the front and rear of speaker mounted on ....just make sure rear of cone is sealed from front...they make foam baffles that can enclose rear of speakers.....the better the seal the better the sound
@@luchvk can you explain more about the pressure relief vents? Which are those?
Can you build my box
👍👍👍...
Clean up what's that
First!
Thanks for watching!
