When building a car audio system we have to add the bass! And the best way to do that is to build a custom subwoofer box bass enclosure! In this video I go through some things to watch out for, and the build process for making this sealed enclosure for two JL Audio 13W3v3 subwoofers!
Thank you to JL Audio for providing the speakers and subwoofers for this build!

I have built a box in the trunk, it's a pain, but you get all the airspace available, and no one is going to steal it! 😆,

@HifiVega 3 года назад

Wedge box for the win! Every time I consider building a wedge box this little guy pops up on my shoulder saying “It’s easier to just build it square bro!” Then my lazy little guy pops up on the other shoulder and says “He’s right man” 😂😂. Excellent video as always! I know a lot of people struggle to build these types of enclosures so it’s good for them to have a nice step by step video.

@CarAudioFabrication 3 года назад

Thanks man! The angles definitely add some extra time, but not a big deal, that little angle finder cube is clutch but the sticking the board to the piece you already cut is my favorite table saw trick.

I used the 12W3v3 version in my step son’s 1997 Buick Skylark. I used an IB/trunk install and they absolutely rocked.

@504CreoleCrystal 3 года назад

New follower here....I spent YEARS where I had A LOT of sound in a few old school cars I’ve owned. Trunk opening was no issue in a 92 Fleetwood, 83 Delta 88 nor with an 84 Cutlass Supreme 😆😂. I now own a Silverado 1500 and after adding 4 6x9s in the back doors, new head unit and an amp...that’s where I’ve stopped. I’d love to get back into it by switching to better amps as well as shallow mount subs. I’ve been planning on building my own sub box this time and your channel has sooooo much useful info! Glad to have come across your channel 😃

@markphilpot4981 3 года назад

Like that design Mark and those details. Some people don’t get it. The little extras that you do on a build add up to more business for the installer. Common looks mean less for your bottom lines and less return business. Anyone can build a boring box. A little more effort will keep you busy and your pockets full. That’s the way it is. Don’t believe me, ask Mark! Stay safe mates!😊👍🏻😷

@jayflores750 3 года назад

Can you go over how you made the angle cuts on the baffle in more detail? I understand making the cuts on the top and bottom to match the angle of the side pieces, but it gets tricky when you put the last piece on in order to give it a flush look.

@mikekeenan370 2 года назад

@jekinneys 3 года назад

Great table saw, one of the top brands at least, but I picked up a track saw and I always suggest them now as a set with a less expensive table saw (think smaller more than less features). Once you master the track saw your table saw usage will drop significantly. In my opinion, more accurate, cleaner cuts, and a lot safer. It'll handle those angle cuts a lot more efficiently. I went cordless dewalt and invested in a larger track and can process a sheet in minutes where it would take at least an hour before. Just a FYI, great stuff as always!!!

@GenuineRage 2 года назад

Yes sir! Never fucked with the tablesaw unless i REALLY needed it but a tracksaw is a lot safer of an option imo and its not at all as hard as some people think it is.

@TickleFingers 3 года назад

If you double or triple up your MDF you can cut all of your sides at the exact same time so they will be exactly the same.

@johnsteger 3 года назад

You should of done a infinite baffle with different subs ....but I respect all your builds it just would of made for some awesome content 👌 👏 👍

@Willy_Milano Год назад

Hi, Mark. Is there any way to fit the subwoofers on top of the rear tray/deck? I want to upgrade my system, but I don't want to sacrifice a lot of trunk space, so do you have a video that shows how to do that, or any advice on how to do it or why not to? My car happens to be this exact Jetta, so all of this series of yours can't possibly be any better or more suited for what I want to do. Thanks a lot!

@onewheelup Год назад

wedge shaped enclosures are my favorite they always sound amazing,you want enclosures with each side a different size,like a perfect cube box is the worst,a box shaped like a snow cone or a diamond where it goes down to nothing should sound the best,haa rumor has it,but yea wedges jam for sure

@jamest.5001 Год назад

Ever do a 08 up avenger, I would like to build a optimized enclosure for a single 12", I had 2x 15" kicker comps and solo's back in the late 90's the small amp on the comps did 142.7db, and sounded good, in a sealed enclosure, I'd like to get that and then some from a single 12, in a good enclosure, and tune a range of 25-30Hz to about 80-90Hz maybe 100Hz most likely a ported encounter, I always did sealed back in the day I'm thinking a just above entry-level sundown sub, if this was 20 years ago, I'd want to use the trunk for batteries and amps, put about 6x 18" subs in there! But now I wasn't a trunk, and back seat, I have thought about using a couple truck boxes, and shallow mount subs, something cheap, but if I'm going to do it , I want it to sound good, a pair of boss 12"s ain't gonna do it, I learned years ago, you would be better off with a good sub and the boss amp, (then get a better amp later!) I'm thinking a single 12" with about 600w should do fine, (maybe I'll add another 12 later!

So I am going to step up to 2 JL audio 12 W1v3 4 ohm. The box is going to be sealed my question is, do I have the chambers separate or shared airspace?
