[GoZito75]

OR YOU COULD JUST BUY A BOX

[chieftech100]

[seansaccount101]

Waaay too much trouble for what amounts to about a $50 box at Walmart :\

[ilovenippleslips]

8:26 SEVERAL YEAR LATER? YOU SAID MINUTES>

[ernestov]

cool vid. Exactly said this is for the hobbyist. Cuz you can get some pretty cheap enclosures on Craigslist or your local swapmeet.

[bompidom]

Damn... I thought they made the sub itself -.-

[burn1800]

LOL 10:27 soo neehh!

[Bbendfender]

Guys, too much talk. Just show how to build the box and how to mount the speaker. Past 6:00 and still waiting.

[fakelube]

How to build a subwoofer

Ok first go by a subwoofer

WTF

[lyokofans]

It may be cheap, but its also gonna sound cheap.

[flopez425]

so this is how to build the subwoofer enclosure or box.... not the speaker its self... =/ missleading title!!! there gose 13min of my life lol

[Herbalisious420]

Is that some passed out dude with a shirt over his head when he's cutting the subwoofer holes???????? O_O

[Jangaid]

idiot

[MonkieVlog]

200-400 watt amp LOLOLOLOLOL

[nadhilqwer]

i wish i understood what hes talking about xD

[KCNofear]

cuantos wats rms tiene?

[dirtbikernick]

JL sucks,

[BrUt4LSm4cKDoWn]

OR you could go to walmart and buy a box already made for 25 bucks

[Myddraal1]

God all you fuckers that are replying to Surgical5Stalingrad dont know shit about car audio. One of the most important things is a solid ground from amp to your chasis no more with a wire no more than 3ft. unless you have extra batteries sittin in your trunk i doubt ur ground is 3ft long. plus if you put it to your battery thats just another with a chance to short and fuck ur battery and possibly ur whole car electric system up.

[Surgical5Stalingrad]

@Myddraal1 thank you obviously none of these people know what they are talking about. at least one person knows their shit thanks again

[Myddraal1]

@Surgical5Stalingrad Your welcome sir always happy to aid a fellow car audiophile. Cheers!

[ads861]

@Myddraal1 for higher power systems, connecting directly to the chassis (boot of car) only works if the battery is connected with the same gauge wire to the chassis (near the battery) also. Otherwise you run the risk of a bad ground connection and can damager your amp / speakers that way also.

[Myddraal1]

@ads861 Good point but any audiophile knows if your gonna have a high power system before you even think of installing it you need the Big 3 upgrade, thus solving the problem you have presented.

[Mattcoloris1]

that guys head is way too small

[motocrossking731]

@Mattcoloris1 no hes just fat

[adrianhmartinez]

cheap?? u gonna go bankrupt after u buy all the stuff u used to build that........

[charlee420]

these fucks are retarded

[MrTootmanonfire]

whats up with the guy on the left's shirt

[StolenSprocket]

Thumbs up if you watched this, knowing you would never make it...

[talharuguta]

@StolenSprocket suck me!!!

[abengyu112751]

hi guys .. never heard you played the subwoofer ,,,you both only whistles

[petemk1966]

yap yap fkn yap-gettin paid per soundbite for talkin shite

[DDFJ1230]

These people are so stupid..

[Newman4434]

What a fucking waste of time!!!

[beatzfromchicago]

WHO WANTS TO DO ALL THIS CRAP, JUST BUY A BAZOOKA, JESUS! 

[mrbhendee21]

nice



[iceman977th]

So nyeh.

[april97cobra]

5:01 Nice hearing protection!

Too bad the same cant be said about your eyes...

[maxdavis360]

WTF ok 20 $ amp = does not exist, 120 $ amp is like 200 to 300 watt, this video is stupid

[enticed2zeitgeist]

Seems awfully involved. I guess it is a hobby!

[71970eli]

Fucking wasted my time I could build an enclosure and a subwoofer in five minuts with I doller

[nomilkforsanta]

instant thumbs down for the advertisement

[canipplecorpse]

helpful thanks

[djstifler1985]

bulshit build subwoofer is not easy

[KeanuNzuuu]

Sorry, i don't have 500$ worth of equipment (saws etc.)

[juliodj1408]

niun brillo fome



[Akkuetj]

too much talking.

[Bassotronics]

Just take the 2 foot long 12" sonotube, put 2 round wood on top and bottom of the tube and cut a hole on one of the wooden sides so the sub can fit..make a little hole for the cable on back and thats it! Easier than in this vid! lol

[Visnitchi]

A little bet too small.... WTF? I know that is correct: 'a little bet smaller' or 'too smaller'. How can you cut 'a little bet too small or big?

[Aphyxsiate]

It's a good demonstration, but the time, commitment and money is not worth it over just buying it in a shop. Yeah, hobby-wise this looks great, but hey not for me.

[541v4d0r]

subwuffer

fucking noobs, i was like "no fucking way" so i clicked and am now like "derp herp, tards"

[P90xFitnessExpert]

Nice Set up...

[ACDCdude953]

this is so much freaking harder than just a regular square or rectagular enclosure

[CrazyPudgyThing]

fuck... why did i watch this...

[Aussieton]

Wankers

[crazykano666]

@Aussieton You have to be english. Last time i called someone a wanker on here, they really didnt understand how offensive it is haha.

[berserkronin]

@Aussieton Tossers!

[samuelsantana]

fucking youtube ads, hate the fuckers!!!

[jdxcc]

Looking to build a SUBWOOFER, not a BOX

[206robert206]

1:33 I would LOVE to hear a 18" sub in that bitch.

[Jobanavastoss]

i hoped i see how to build speaker itself.....

[pr0duckti0nz]

OMFG the hidden advertisement of COKE made me buy them... i fckin hate that..*burp*

[jrecio325]

WTF! Flagging is disabled for this video. MESLEADING TITLE ASSHOLES!

[clownbow1]

@jrecio325 dumbass

[Infuse16]

@Surgical5Stalingrad soo... are you saying the negative of the battery doesn't connect to the chassis of the car? the only reason you would run a wire to chassis and not the negative of the battery is too save running and extra wire th your boot of the car. either way you do it you always have to connect the ground on the amp to the negative terminal on the battery.

[Revo954]

@Surgical5Stalingrad That only works if your "ground" is bonded to the negative post of that battery. So you're the dumb ass.

[jasibley1993]

@Surgical5Stalingrad Where do you think everything else grounds to? The battery.

[xxph4nt0mxx]

@Surgical5Stalingrad

the ground is connected to the frame, which is connected to the neg terminal of the battery... dumbass. even if you connected directly to the negative terminal of the battery, still grounded to the frame.

[checker9020]

@Surgical5Stalingrad

equals the same dude!!! xD

[1withmyself]

@Surgical5Stalingrad i thought in cars, you use that as an artificial ground though?

[steve26180]

@Surgical5Stalingrad the negative end of the battery is a ground

[kolton5543]

@Surgical5Stalingrad

Hmm. What do you think the ground is?

[GrandDanois]

@Surgical5Stalingrad - haha, so you wan't to drag a car into the studio, just to use its chassis as a negative wire? :-D

[ads861]

@Surgical5Stalingrad the negative end of the battery is grounded in the front bay. with higher power subs, it's actually recommended to connect direcly to the -ve end of the battery

[SDUndisputed]

FAIL , dude I just bought a KLH 500watt powered 15" subwoofer for $160 bucks , makes the windows in my living room shake !

Your method is expensive and unnecessary unless your a tweeker !!!!!

[jimlupi]

LOL. A sonotube is going to be worlds better than a 40$ store bought "enclosure". In fact it could blow away most high priced name brand subs. Check out the early SVS subwoofers.

[13098519]

I bought two enclosures for my 12" subs, $40... They even have the material on the outside to match my truck interior.. took me 20 minutes to drive to the audio store, buy them and come back home.. You guys failed..

[MrDoby5]

u freacking idiout ITS NOT HOW TO BUILD A SUBWOOFER ITS HOW TO BUILD A SUBWOOFER BOX DUMY

[NoGoOdDeEdS]

this sound really expensive to make

[crxdx88]

def not worth it!!!!!!

[scorchers18]

i watched 2 men whistle for 40 seconds. wow

[scorchers18]

13:05 is where i wanted to shoot myself.

[DeltaNineTHC]

JL Audio is shit, that's when I stopped watching.

[scorchers18]

@DeltaNineTHC your retarded JL is one of the top car audio producers around.. so put that in your pipe and smoke it.

[yamaharida226]

@scorchers18 ban wagoner its all about AudioQue HDC3 10 aka th W7 killer

[SwatbotDubstep]

You should probably change the title to subwoofer ENCLOSURE, dumbasses.

[NihilithMusic]

@SwatbotDubstep What did you think! You were really going to make a sub out of cardboard? ha

[freddybgbg]

@SwatbotDubstep They're acquiring more views with that title, that's a pretty intelligent move and I doubt they'll change it.

[SwatbotDubstep]

@freddybgbg Yeah, more views. Also people getting pissed at them for bullshitting, so more dislikes and less subscribers. Sounds pretty intelligent.

[freddybgbg]

@SwatbotDubstep I don't think you know how the YouTube partnership program works. Likes/dislikes don't earn any money, and subscriptions don't either, it's all views. this is the most viewed SYSTM episode, by far. I doubt one misleading title would cost many subscribers either.

[MegaBigman1111]

plywood and mdf are dirt cheap

[comandercool101]

gay............. i only clicked on this video thinking some one made a cardboard sub.

[gobig702]

for 50 bucks you can build 2 sick boxes out of mdf thats not cheap

[vinnnnnnnnyyyyyyyy]

Dude its a hobby, ill pay 10 more bucks if i could build something my self, its fun and you build it so you will build it better...

[ccaabbooooossee]

fuck that i got plywood and carpet! even if they r only $20 i can customize mine to whatever size i need XP

[cypresspeter2008]

Newsflash, Hsu  Research stopped selling that subwoofer.

[1KaLaMiiTy]

I could go to walmart and buy a box for $20

[ThatOneMentalKid]

0:00

[oandy1010]

hmm, i thought i was gonna learn how to build a cardboard sub?

[admiral8toes]

that was cool

[MrBadchoice101]

i'll admit, thats cool

[sunshine4949]

crap justy saw a cod black ops commercial time to go play that and stop waching youtube video :) !!!!

[sgtGrif]

You know...I already have fios, i've got a car, I don't watch tv, I don't need X video Game...STOP WITH YOUR FUCKING ADS IT MAKES ME NOT WANT TO BUY YOUR SHIT KTHXBYE

[MrJamesonStyles]

Unless you're using baltic birch, MDF has better properties for speaker enclosures. Don't disillusion people, you'll have people running out buying exterior grade plywood instead of MDF because it "won't flex". Wrong, dead wrong.

Also, you're recommending people use a router with a $60 jig and a $20 cutting bit to accommodate your stupid project. Explain to me again how this is supposed to save people money?

[frolfordie1987]

fix the title.........................­.....

[brownsuga1212]

the title made me laugh

[MrSpeedazz]

Silicone Cock ftw xD

[BIGGIEDEVIL]

thumbs up if you change vids as soon as ads come on first before the vid

[audiocable]

it cost me 100 bucks to make my enclosure, it would of costs me 30 to just buy one, but the satisfaction of telling people that you made it, is priceless

[N0CatchyName]

I thought you were trying to save money by using sonotube. Building the same size boxes out of 3/4" mdf would've been about the same price (if not cheaper) & a lot less hassle. Also, why does your "plywood" look like mdf?

[Gpgtp38]

WTF an ad in the middle of the vid......

[drik165]

Jl Audio The best !!! thats it

[bloodhoun138]

@drik165 My cellphone speakers are better than JL Audio.

[drik165]

@drik165 ahah yeah right!

[SuperBrandango]

this is kinda like a pillow in a bass drum huh

[marcopacol]

how about if i put a 18volts in my 300watts subwoofer instead of 12 volts that is in the manual.... what would be happen?

[N0CatchyName]

@marcopacol If you are actually serious, you'll probably blow your amp, unless it's rated to run at 18 volts, which I doubt it would be. Most amps are only rated to run at up to 14.5 volts, certain amps can be run at up to 16 volts, but I've never heard of an 18 volt amp.

[deganello1000]

vamos todos juntos para puta que te pariu

[VerumAdNauseam]

lol @ th3 3nd1ng

[whi0019]

where can i get your shirt?

[OldTimeyJunk]

@whi0019 A Tip.

[Nevsky100]

Buying sub woofer from the store would be much cheaper.

[Catzrule1995]

you can make a proper subwoofer for cheaper than that

[Goosebumbsfan]

Silicone Cauk.

Thumbs up if you lol'd when you heard that.

[freakshowboy9]

umm........ cheap.... CRAIGSLIST.... you can buy a prebuilt used or new sub box for as cheap as $10 to $50

[lincolnexe]

use ply over mdf? hells no!

Ply wood is inferior to MDF in terms of sound quality.

I use 3/4 inch mdf to build my 4.2 cubic inch sub box. Its sealed, and im running 2 bassworx 4 series (high excursion) and theres no way that box is breaking. no bracing either =p no resonance from it.

mdf cost less. mdf is denser, allowing tighter seals. it is easier to work with. if you use ply, you love wasting money =)

[zacintoshcomputers]

did anyone actually make this? i couldnt understand eminem over here when he was saying the steps to cutting it, plus, i didnt come here for a stupid enclosure

[zacintoshcomputers]

why did the guy on the left decide to come on the show right afer he got back from hawaii without changing?

[pyrgos97]

so meny videos ...A mistake in one video....1 word.....make the difrance...

NO SYSTM. IT IS SYSTEM

[rcisme1]

ok so if you go to walmart and get a sub and box for 60 istead of 60 on just a box and spending hours on it??? why the fuck would someone do that

[xxph4nt0mxx]

a real enclosure without a port is pretty cheap these days so theres not really a point to making your own. i ported mine and added some light cotton sheets to reduce air noise. i have a crappy amp that i wire up to a computer power supply and bam, self powered sub unit for my surround sound.

[bradlycriswell1990]

175 shipped suck my dick.

dc level 3 for 220 rapes this.

[roseartsucksballs]

i used a bucket lol

[radumbm]

2 words : BIG ears

[owenvennik]

I love David Calkins shirt!

[technoman43]

a cardboard box??? wtf?! who in the fuck would want a cardboard box!!!!!?????

[ezfingerboarder]

I can buy a 1400 watt amp on craigslist for 100 bucks

[16ats]

isn't that box to small for this speaker?

[ali440134]

13:55 eas the best part1

[weda8est]

to be honest, who would randomly have sonotube or whatever the fuck it is?

[hondannyboy]

What a POS video. This sucks. With 60 bucks you can buy a 3/4'' MDF sheet and do an enclosure yourself.

[Swampax]

This has nothing to do with building a subwoofer, just how to make a horrible sounding crap encosure for a car subwoofer (wich is also the worst sound you can buy compared to hifi units.

[L1LJO3Y1313]

losers.

[boomstickkid]

50-60 bucks??? fuck just buy a box they're cheap

[MagicalMrSkylar]

@boomstickkid exactly, you can build a box cheaper than that. anyone thinking about building a box this way is a complete a total idiot.

[bigpun4fubu]

@boomstickkid yeah my 6 cu ft box ported cost 60 bucks

[boomstickkid]

life's finer pleasures? left hand bro

[Dannitor]

americans talk like they are singing..

[kcox669live]

1:30 that i will never get back :(

[AAAHHHCUMMON]

hahaha ur all mad

[Korrupt1991]

just use a 5 gallon bucket.

[truckstopcowboy]

When I seen R2 D2 I new it was gay.

[ThennyDlux]

I would change the name of this video because they do not in fact build a subwoofer, they build a box for a subwoofer. also this is not cheap after you buy all the stuff in the video including the tools. If was going to spend this amount of money I would do it correctly.

[1800Supreme]

Talking about crappy amps i got my 12 in sub to on a iPod Shuffle direct input no amp

[RooFx]

Wow These guys are about 25 years late on this idea.

they were doing this on the west coast (seatac) in the mid 80's

[MrGdgot19]

$50- $60 i laugh at you HAHAHAHHA i bought mdf at rona cost me $8 for  3'X3' sheet and made a sealed box for my new clarion 10 inch and it only took me 10 minutes to cut and another 10 to glue waited an hr and it was done and it is built to specs simple.

[RooFx]

@MrGdgot19

Chances are it sounded like it, too.

I think this video is more intended and compared to having one custom built, anyhow.

[jitjoseph]

guys r clueless.

[boosh222]

The guy from the beach boys sounds like Kip Dynamite

[SARCGDcru]

this is such a waste of money, i got my 2 12" subs (with enclosure) for 100$ im not gonna waste 50 $ to make a ghetto box

[SHAUN269]

Keep pressing 1. lol

[airsoftkid0102]

at 9:17

yea i dont hove that many clips

[iitzSniPeZzz]

Wow I have 2 12" SSL 1000 watt with a pyle "chopper series" 1900 watt monoblock amp

[54321Dh]

@iitzSniPeZzz wow, nobody gives a fuck

[iitzSniPeZzz]

Wow I have 2 12" SSL 1000 watt with a pyle "chopper series" 1900 watt momblock amp

[massimomel]

$175 for a shitty sub and about $30 for 1 shitty enclosure ($205 each)? you guys used Craigslist for the amp , im pretty sure you can find 2 subs already in a REAL enclosure for less than $400

[0akie13]

@massimomel you forgot that free shitty shirt that guy in the right got for free with his cardboard subs

[massimomel]

@0akie13 .... good point , i didnt notice the shirt before lmao . he must of bought it from the same jew that sold him that 40 dollar flea market sub for 175

[xmodsdude]

Use your caulk to fill all the holes!

[fortmoney]

Ok. These guys are talking about cutting costs and making a cheap setup, then telling you to buy JL??!! the most overpriced equipment on the market?? MDF IS cheap, easy to work with, and I had a lot of fun making my enclosure. I made it for my car, but the same principles apply. I bought my entire setup for -$500 and it has been bumping strong for 2 years. I love how these guys are messing around with this sonotube shit and then telling you to spend $800 on just the subwoofer and the amp.

[golfcarters]

i wonder how many parties they've been invited to...... haha

[san5a89]

Do you know if there's someone that can make me a high pass filter in the web? Maybe you?

[EODsplosion]

nice shirt

[KarlErikOlen]

Sorry, but intro is outdated :D

[freebernp]

@KarlErikOlen I think the intro may have been my favorite part, actually. :-p
