I built two passive sub cabinets with two 18 inch sub woofers each for my sound system. The guys at Parts Express were great for helping me pick out the Dayton Audio 18's and the size to build the cabinets plus sub port size. They were 1,000 watts each and I pushed them with 2,000 watt amps each. They went down to 45Hz although I cut them at about 55 or 60. They brought on the thunder.
Would love to have a pair of subs like these for myself if it weren't for the neighbours! I'm actually thinking of building an 18 inch ported sub myself. What amps did you use to power these?
@@DonnyTerek I had a small audio company and supplied PA systems for clubs and medium sized outdoor stages. I believe the amps were the biggest QSC's I could get at the time. They were built for your living room. 😎
If you have already won, I will give you several types for improvement (personal experience). Put silicone under all the screws. On the inner walls, you stick foam board exactly 5 mm thick. from the Bass speaker, make a curved roll of foam to the bass reflex. Screw the front plate even more (not just glue). You will be surprised by the result…
Pretty good for basic loudspeaker kit to start with 👍 One thing - where's the damping material to reduce internal resonances. I would make the front baffle min 3/4" (19mm) thick.
Thanks! Damping material is not needed for these speakers. It would be included in the design if it were necessary. Good idea on the thicker front baffle. Would have used it if I had a few pieces of 19mm thick board.
@@DonnyTerek Up to you to stuff it, but there are still reflection and standing waves which affect the midrange, although the port itself is a source of standing waves as well. For bass reflex I usually fill up enclosure behind the woofer leaving space around port, but these days I like passive rads - more flexibility in tuning, no lengthy ports with 90 deg elbows, no chuffing noises. The price is higher and depending on the passive rad cone material, suspension, it will leave some character. Still to me sounds cleaner in midbass application. For R&D and prototyping I use box with double baffle. The actual baffle is screwed to the front panel of the enclosure. The baffle is divided into tweeter and bass section, so if I want to try different drivers, but their diameter is different or I want to change tweeter position, I replace the whole panel. Saves money on material and space.
Olá Tereck, Primeiro quero dar te os parabéns! Ficou incrível! E a forma com que fez, mostra o quão detalhista é! Disponibilizar o projeto fez bem a minha pessoa! Me deu animo para voltar a trabalhar com amor. Se me permite! Irei adicionar apenas os rebaixo para os componente na parte de trás do painel! Mais nada! O resto é como o seu projeto. Perfeito! Obrigado pelo seu canal! Abraços!
Personal I build tons of sub boxes most people like mdf for a ton if reasons its cheap its very dense its the best acoustically and a couple other reasons but I've never actually used a sealer I built a box for a friend and he's had it for a couple months through the humid summer and the winter and it looks and sounds great still only time will tell if it will keep sounding and holding up but so far I've had boxes that sat in a barn un painted un sealed for about a year now if u get them wet or expose them to too much moisture they will have issues I seen a prefab a guy had that was moldy or something but none of my boxes have had that happen
Nice clean work . Next time try use acoustic foam inside to achieve better sound performance .... and maybe not MDF for body but some tipe of soft and dense wood, So you can have more crispy sound
Hola buenas me gustaria saber como optener todos los complementos de adentro de la bocina ho altoparlantes tambien cual es el costo de los mismo muchas gracias ade ante manos
You can easily and for cheap convert your own (or second hand)(or just any) bookshelf speakers to true stereo bluetooth. Get the awful sounding Roseland dual-split speaker take them apart. and link it to your speakers. for only 20 euro. The only thing you need to make is a new housing for the battery and the electronics. Pro's are 10 Meter apart, USB-C charge ports, SD card holder and line in (minijack) cons are: 10W and 4 to 8 ohms. But still good enough for an easy setup. I have converted my old Yamaha NS-BP 101 to bluetooth and it sound great! Loud enough for a small garden party.
@@DonnyTerek no problem at all. always happy to support my fellow content creators. I am looking forward to improving on my own current video format I have uploaded and, in the future, trying to create content as good as yours in the long term.
I apologize for my poor English with Geogle translation. Probably when I was still a student, I bought this speaker and used it for a while, so I watched it with great interest. I'm looking forward to seeing you in the future.
So either these are not the speakers in the links, or thumbnail.. or I guess I didn’t read the product description very well. I just ordered these, hoping everything came pre cut, ready to go.
What are you mixing up to seal the MDF before painting? And will any wood glue work on the veneer or do you have a certain PVA glue you are using? Thanks!
Hi! I use a two component MDF sealer that I get at my local paint supply store but I am not sure of the manufacturer. I've seen many people use this stuff too: geni.us/9YyKv . I use PVA D3 glue as I've heard this is the best PVA glue for veneering. Hope this helps!
@@DonnyTerek If you ever get a chance in one of your videos, could you show what the two part sealer is that you get from your local paint supplier? I see that MDF sealer you linked up sorta sounds like a watered down PVA glue. While it can work, yours looked like it had a hardener in it to help it cure after you applied it but still sandable as well.
@@tedjacobson7822 Sure! After a quick inspection on the local store's website the manufacturer of the sealer is Hesse-Lignal but I can't find more info on it. Will do some more questioning of the staff once I need some more for my next project. I believe it is a polyurethane sealer with a hardener.
Love the video. Any particular reason you use MDF, which you then have to laminate, rather than a good quality plywood? is it about price, finish, acoustic properties? Thanks
Thank you kindly. Personally I don't quite like working with plywood. MDF is much easier to work with and it is cheaper than high quality plywood. Adding to that MDF has better acoustic properties for speakers due to higher density.
Wonderful build, but these deserve better than a Lapai amp. Anyone with some craftsmanship skills should consider c-notes over most pre-builts twice their price.
Hello very good and passionate tuto for me. Thanks a lot for spent your time to transmit them. Have you the ref for your little tool that you use at 1:51 please ? Sorry for my english.
Many thanks! I do agree that this amp is quite small to reveal the full potential of these speakers. I might try swapping it for something more suitable for these speakers.
Tem módulos mais simples de instalar, não há a necessidade de montar placa, outro ponto é o trabalho com o MDF poderia ser menos oneroso, bastava adesivar a madeira e finalizar com o verniz, economizaria tempo com a tupia e dinheiro!
Everything about this build is awesome. Thank you for sharing this with the world 😄👌

Hi, sorry for the late reply. The C-Sharp speaker kit is basically the powered (integrated amplifier) version of the C-Note kit.
For effectively bass port must place neat the woofer - mid-range speaker near port pipe... according to theory.

Nice build, looks neat and professional. But why the hex screws on the front for the speakers, when Philips screws are used elsewhere?
Because it looks better
As mentioned here, because it looks better (for me at least).
@@DonnyTerek Fair enough, understood. Let's hope that whoever uses this has the right screwdriver bit to service the speaker if necessary.
Well that made me look twice ,I'm sure I watched this the day before... but I still watched it again.

Why is that PVA glue so white?
your cabine desing so good but i think speaker and amplifier weak for it

no gaskets ?

great speakers with shirty amp

24:10 Somehow the metal sheet looks very bend through. Would be for me optical a no-go.
I may have overtightened the screws there slightly using the cordless drill.
