    Love watching these box building videos. They are a prime example to show customers how much work actually goes into building a subwoofer box. In my shop people aways ask me "why so much"& "it's just a box why do you charge so much" and my favorite question "does the box even make it sound better" and all of these are great questions to ask a installer. As a installer I bought a eBay special $45 box for a single 12. And I built a box for a single 12. (Rockford fosgate p1) both boxes use that woofer. That way when people tell me it's just a box and it makes no difference on how the speaker(s) sound I show them a example of why you need a custom box built for your exact subwoofer.

    I plan on a center port with a similar box. I have my pass through the trunk and the armrest is removable but is still functional.
    After watching you load that one into the trunk I'm inspired to build it in the trunk. That was a job in itself.

    Nice video. I haven't built a sub box in about 13 years. I use to have 3 12's JL Audio W6's and I made a sealed box for them. Each sub had it's own chamber. The one important thing you want to do first is take measurements of the inside of your trunk. This of course is to make sure your box will fit in perfectly. The last thing you want is a box that's too big for your trunk. Take in consideration the trunk lid/door hinges and trunk hatch cylinders. They can get in the way when closing the trunk.

    I'm new to bandpass boxes but I have been researching 4th order enclosures today. Couple questions:
    * Why did you do double wall speaker walls?
    * Why did you use such a large port diameter? The larger the port diameter the longer the port has to be.
    * What is the air space requirement for the front chambers of the speakers? Doesn't look like much.

I would love to get another box built, I like that setup.

The subwoofer is a fi sp4 18 v2.1 dual 2 and im going to be running it on a taramps smart 3k at 1 ohm with a 350 amp alternator and 40 ah lto lithium battery. The chambers are pretty close to 1 to 1 with the sealed chamber being 3.60 cubic feet net and 4.43 net ported to 40 hz. Im hoping for at least a 140 to 142 db at a burp.

    Nice build... from a construction standpoint if you want to add rigidity to a box like that rather than drilling into endgrain you can cut a dado in the top and bottom pieces to receive the vertical pieces. You could use biscuits for alignment and a 1x1 firring strip down the side of each panel to screw into from both sides so you avoid endgrain.

    Nice setup, guess that's why you're going to Goodwill for a shirt.
    Seems Bandpass is once again slowly making a comeback. It's a lot of work to do just for something you'll probably swap out next year if that long Exo.
    Although I don't get the fascination of having a 200 lb+ loaded enclosure that takes up the entire rear space of a vehicle and lower gas mileage just to have more bass. I think the point of subs is to complete the music, not to over accentuate it.

    @iskavankritz229 9 років тому +2

    Hey Exo, getting ready to do a 4th order build in a month or 2. I have 2 questions.
    1. Is it better to have the speakers in the same space in the sealed section or have a wall in the center separating the 2. A wall would add support from flexing, and maybe sound/work better?
    2. Square or circle port? My first enclosures where square and they where more vibrate, if that makes any sense. where my circle port was more blaaarrrhh! Which from what ive read as long as there tuned the same shouldnt make a difference, the difference between the square and circle ported enclosures i made is the circle was not sectioned, each speaker could see each other, all sharing the same air. Whereas the square ported boxes where like your standard ported boxes each having there own ported compartment. So this kinda plays into the first question, would a wall in the center, separating my 4 12s, add to the vibrating? Ive done a ton of searching and i cant find answers. Thankyou!

    if I wanted to build one too, idk if anyone has asked. could I build a 4th order box with both of my 12s in the sealed portion at their combined cu ft, then continue the build as you would for the ported section? or do they have to be in separate sealed off sections. I only ask because I'm running my subs wired together in parallel at a 2 ohm load and want to keep it that way with the amp I'm using. thanks for the help if you have a second!!!

    I need a recommendation,i have 2 JL audio 12wxv2.... im running 1 at the moment (@150w rms)and its not enough. Its sealed. Amp is Fosgate p300.1. It can do 300rms at 2 ohms. These subs are 4 ohm
    I am wondering if a single 15" could sound as good or better on the 300 rms?
    I kinda feel i should build the box for 2 12s i have before a purchase but dont 2ant to for a let down.
    I had a bigger system with 12w6s...
    I want loud deep SQ out of 1 15" or 12"...or 13"
    Guys?

      First get a 1ohm stable amp then find out if your subs are SVC or DVC than if they are 2ohm or 4 ohm if SVC 4 ohm run in parallel and bridge at the amp for a 2ohm load at the amp.
