very nice job indeed, but i might suggest that you counter sink your screws, when driving them in. this prevents the basket of the subwoofer from getting warped. you seem very intelligent, so you probably knew this already. keep up the good videos, you earned another subscriber.
Very cool man! Transmission line boxes are the way to go. I have 1 SKAR AUDIO VVX-10 in a box I built like that and it is beating harder than two 12's. Great job on that box too.
It's nice to see a car box builder incorporating some of the more efficient designs. I just built two towers like these with twin 5.25" woofers each for my home stereo and they are impressive.
TL boxes are absolutely amazing if you can afford the space. Your design fit the cab nicely. I'm going to try a TL or a 6th order in my truck next i think, but for now my AQ 12s vented @ 36hz is enough - but I have a 4cuft box.
My current project is 2 tapped horns with 6.5" drivers that go down to 25hz
Hey Hexibase I have a 91 Chevy truck and I have two Kenwood 12 subs I have the box in the back sit on the bottom and it seem that I don't get loud base and what can I do to get samo loud base do I need a difiente type of box can you tell me what I can do thanks and like the videos that you do
HexiBase, what are your thoughts on the Excruci8's? I live here in Fresno, CA where Addictive Audio Headquarters reside. Most locals love them, but many more hate it??? I can't make up my mind from Sundow, DC or Addictive 8's...?
@BaggeDNDragged90 Realizing that it's predominantly the enclosure that determines what a speaker sounds like, is it really the subs that they love/hate or the enclosures that they're in? You saw what I was able to do with that little pair; they're good subs.
@HexiBase Sweet, thanks for the reply! That makes sense, I'm a newb so I'm easily swayed with sub choices mainly from the lack of actual experience with them and forums don't help much with my decisions lol! Again, thanks for the reply I really do appreciate it and keep up the great work! I love this channel I'm always looking forward to new videos!
it looked like they were digging in your trash when vid started. Better get those guys to invest in some deadener and mlv next that small of a cabin should be easy and cheap to prep correctly
@realmofexcursion Ha ha. It did kind of look like it, didn't it? And yes, they are going to be sound damping the hell out of that little cab. It needs it desperately.
Hey, I am wondering if you ever heard of the Dayton Audio 18 inch "classic" woofer, it's 4 ohms and it costs around 125$ shipped on parts-express among other sites... It has a 25Hz FS, pretty good sensitivity, "paper" (composite?) cone, only 300 watts RMS, but supposedly the sensitivity is high enough that it is good enough. I want to buy one for my room, to really be able to hear and feel 25Hz~ do you think it's a good choice? Probably going for slot ported enclosure..?
@cotyballs That would be a rather tall order for a pair of 8s. I just barely scratched the 150s with a pair of DD1508s in my CRX in Georgia, and that's in a strictly SPL enclosure; no hair tricks. I don't think that it's something that these gentlemen would be particularly interested in.
@HexiBase out of 8's yes extremely difficult but I meant a decently equipped 12 or 15 build. They probably wouldn't be interested in it but I bet they would be some great reaction shots of a hairtrick
@brandonscarinfo No need to downgrade, just get a better enclosure for your 10s. As for the amount of power the subs were getting, I have no idea; I never measured, but it couldn't have been much.
@HexiBase well, I am also having some space issues, they won't fit haha. Can't put a box with enough airspace in my trunk for them, so I am downgrading to some 8"s...thinking maybe 4 SA-8s, or 2 DD 508s....not sure though, I am looking to go pretty low powered if I can. I am most likely gonna request a box from you soon :)
@walkingfreak Not necessarily. Depends on the amount of space that you have to work with, and the shape of that space. Though a transmission line might not be the way to go in your case. It really depends on your woofers' T/S parameters, your cabin geometry, and what you want in terms of output.
@HexiBase it does look like thinking would get him in trouble, but who am I to say. Going back to playing with my 33.9TB SAN for the night before I finally crash after 2 days with a ~2.5 hour nap. Have a good night pete.
@BassDemon420 Well, you wouldn't want this specific design unless you too have a pair of Addictive Audio Excruci8s going into a standard cab Dodge pick-up.
@basslover201 Well yeah. As I've mentioned in the video, this is the most effective design (for the output that we were after) given the T/S parameters of those particular subs and the nature of that particular cabin geometry. Though change one or the other, and a different design might emerge as superior.
i am NOW subbing after seeing this vid and peepin Addiktive Audio's website lol
