I did my first box because of you and it turned out great. Its tuned to 20hz and the goal was to be as windy as possible with one 12 inch sub (ground zero GZRW 30-D2). Thank you for all your precious information!

WinISD is a super powerful tool once you learn how to use it. I wanted 8’s under the back seat of my F150. Winisd showed me that 3 would give more spl than 4. They are super clean and play way low for only 3-8’s. They are Skar svr.

Free Tip: You can simulate cutting layouts by creating a 48x96 panel, make it a group/component. Duplicate your entire project (select it all, copy and paste) then use the rotate tools to make them all flat and lay them on the 8x4 panel you made before. This can help visualise cutting and find the best cuts to minimise wastage and maximise leftovers 😊

@DIYAudioGuy 5 месяцев назад

Or just use the plug in that will do that for you.

@DIYAudioGuy 5 месяцев назад

@FAKE-NAME 5 месяцев назад

If I set my head unit bass boosts to max as well loudness settings to max and eq to powerfull or super bass then set my setting for my amplifier for sub while those are set like that. Do I then need to worry about sub clipping if I set the head unit to weaker less powerful settings? Like turning loudness settings on headunit lower. Basically heard that if I set amplifier up not to change headunit setting after to more powerfull settings because it could cause damage or clipping?

@YellowSn0man 5 месяцев назад

The help file in winisd gives specific instructions as to which t/s parameters to enter and in which order. This will help avoid getting incorrect data and warnings from the software.

As he said different materials give different results per the application... but just to answer your question...... 3/4" MDF board is probably the most common and economical if youre new to the process.

@JonGotBass 5 месяцев назад

You gotta reconfigure that amp rack and use the whole backside of the cab keeping it relatively thin.....then you can fit a hugeeee box. Although that's not everyones cup of tea, and makes accessing the amps allot harder to tune. Maybe something for future videos.

@DIYAudioGuy 5 месяцев назад

It is on my to-do list.

I have two ancient Pyle New Wave subwoofers, NW1040-4. I've tried to find parameters on these speakers everywhere. I even sent email to Pyle. They are free air subwoofers, but I don't have a way to use them as free air in my van. They still sounded quite nice last time I used them, and I would like to use them again. Any thoughts?

@st170ish 5 месяцев назад

Dunno if you have made a mistake, the design was 2x subs per box with the given port design then you've combined 2 boxes with the 2 ports into 1 outlet, I can see that you've doubled the width/area on the combined half of the port is that going to throw your calc's out isnt it?

@n0tch66 5 месяцев назад

I thought this as well. Surely the air velocity will change when it hits the larger combined port?

@DIYAudioGuy 5 месяцев назад

You have a keen eye. It should work just fine, but if it does not we will find out!

@n0tch66 5 месяцев назад

Will you run a REW sweep and compare to WinISD once done?

@sunnyyyyy946 3 месяца назад

im trying to tune a punisher 10d1 and for the air velocity HOLY CRAP. at least its only for the lower fs and is a pretty instant spike . i have no idea what I'm doing but have a decent amount of knowledge. love the tutorial . could you update it and make a little more in depth like do this for this and that for that or this for that etc XD either way im going to be budling this box one way or another thank you!

@sunnyyyyy946 3 месяца назад

also if we dont have alot of room for our port how would could u make it smaller/shorter. would it just effect the fs response?

@user-fj6yh5uj5y 5 месяцев назад

I just got 4 skar evl-65 and I’m curious to what you think I should do for a box in a single cab Chevrolet

@DIYAudioGuy 5 месяцев назад

What's the mounting depth on those subwoofers? Your best bet might be a box behind the seat.

@JasonWW2000 5 месяцев назад

I would have the box planned out before you buy the subs. These little rascals need 0.6 cu ft net each for a ported box. So if you were going to build a ported enclosure you would probably only be able to use two of these. Try to get 1.3-1.4 cubic foot gross and use a single 4-in aero port. If you were going sealed they only need 0.25 cu ft each. So you could put all four of them in a one cubic foot enclosure. You need to measure behind your seat area and see what size of an enclosure you can fit, keeping in mind that the subs need a little bit of air space to move.

@user-fj6yh5uj5y 5 месяцев назад

@jasonWW2000 I was able to design a 2.4cu ft box for all 4 behind the seat going to try to build it tomorrow hopefully it turns out

@user-fj6yh5uj5y 5 месяцев назад

I got the subs cheap all for 100$ 😂

@JasonWW2000 5 месяцев назад

@@user-fj6yh5uj5y I thought you said you had a single cab chevy pickup. There is physically not enough room for a 2.4 cubic foot enclosure behind the seat of a single cab Chevy pickup. I think you should look over your measurements and numbers again. For that large of an enclosure you would at least need an extended cab.

@catalin94doru 5 месяцев назад

Nice video , like always. I'm using the same programs. I just think you "skipped" one part or maybe you didn't wanted for the video to be too long. And you didn't show how to "translate" the box volume to actual w-l-h , or how to calcule the inner volume of the box. But thank's for all the work that you do to pass your knolage.😊

Yep, cut for time. I try to keep these under 10 min, this one was over 15.

@AllboroLCD 5 месяцев назад

People look down on 6.5 subs, but implemented right, theyll hit and satisfy just as well as bigger drivers. Im upgrading crappy 6.5" Bose free-air door subs in my old trailblazer, I'd like to somehow get the speaker area enclosed so that what takes their place has some chance of making quality sound. Was thinking of working with some thin gauge foam and forming some kind of bag like enclosure as to not interfere with the window glass, .25 cu ft is the min goal and im sure theres enough space to get close.

You could try building out some fiberglass pods.

@@DIYAudioGuy did you ever think of going vertical with the amps, one on each of the 3 sides or even stacked front to back? That'd give you more room for subs.

@20smgreen 5 месяцев назад

Due to space limitations and having four 10's I want to use, I find my answers to using an isobaric pair in a ported enclosure and that's what I'm going to do.

@chickenpotpie4045 5 месяцев назад

It's a really good design, but it has me wondering why you'd use 4x 6.5" subs, you don't seem to have a backseat, why not use bigger, more efficient subs? Unless you got those for free, those little subs might be proportional in size, but they most definitely are not proportional in price.

@JasonWW2000 5 месяцев назад

The actual driver that you use is not really going to affect the port tuning. Port tuning has more to do with the enclosure. This is why you can buy a prefab box tuned to a certain frequency. The particular subwoofer that you use is important in telling you what size of enclosure and what port tuning is going to work best for that particular sub.
