When applying a wood veneer, it's good the day before to go and flatten the veneer as much as possible with weight like books. Be careful to not crack the veneer and add too much weight.

If you put threaded inserts in the back of the baffle you can use them as clamps to pull it down while glue is drying on fixing to the front (or not glue it). This is a nice way of doing the front baffle for perfect alignment - especially if you have oversized it a bit for a shadow line or some such :). I had a double thickness baffle - so I lay one layer on the front of sub where it was to attach, drilled holes through both. Place threaded inserts in the baffle, then glue the two baffle layers together and do the finishing (threaded inserts exposed out the back).

Great video! Your mixing of all the audio was equal level! So many youtubers have a crazy loud intro then their voice sounds like a whisper after you jumped and ran to turn the volume down. I had some bad experiences ordering some Parts Express speakers and plate amps like 20 years ago. Now I do not mess around. I use only Crown XLS amps whenever I want to build another sub setup.

Wood glue and water works for a lot of stuff, most of all it’s really good as a bonding layer, especially between incompatible chemicals. I’ve used wood glue as a primer to spray paint polystyrene foam with solvent heavy polyurethane spray paint. The trick when adding water is remember a little bit of water goes a long way, and that it’s difficult to be consistent with it. I use an empty inkjet refill syringe to test the thickness of it. If the blunt needle can suck it up then it’s thin enough, if it can’t then I add more water. I add just enough so that it can draw, not a drop more.

First I want to just say the quality of your video is so top notch I have really watched it a few times. The way you speak, your angles and your transitions. Just A+ and how its suppose to be done in my opinon. 2nd the sub design is amazng. So much I am following your build for my own. May I ask what software you did the design in? Is it in Sketch Up? If so do you share your Sktchup files? If not I understand.

imo, as far as not being well suited for some genres of music, just adjust the volume and or frequency on the amp higher or lower. I have a Polk Audio sub and this works just fine for me.

Sound quality for this video was good and you have nice microphones. That works, and good video. Cool sub. It seems really the big difference between building your own instead purchasing a sub is the outer appearance. This sub looked pretty good. But are you looking t it or listening to it? I'd be happy if it sounded great rather than looked great so DIY is I think a good way to increase performance.

Did you factor in port air velocity? Sub-box Pro will give you the correct length for vents, but that's it. Great build but port chuff is an easy way to ruin a subwoofer.
@chrisferris3303
@chrisferris3303 11 месяцев назад
Hey rohcycling5646. Thanks for watching. I was fortunate that there is little to no chuffing with this design. I’d be lying if I said air velocity was a consideration :). That’s the best thing about DIY builds always something new to learn and consider. Thanks

Subscribed. Nice build. Between you and Toids I’m gonna have plenty of builds. How well would this work as a sealed build? I like the look of it. Probably need more internal bracing as a sealed. Would this woofer work in a sealed environment. ? More for a dedicated 2 channel setup. Anyway, great video , clean production and good narrative.
@chrisferris3303
@chrisferris3303 Год назад
Hey Kodiak. Thanks for watching. This driver will work in a sealed box. Dayton recommends an internal volume of 0.53 ft3.

Hey man, excellent video! Enclosure came out very nice! Like the editing style as well. Curious if youve done tests between going only to 2000 grit vs 5000? Since you're applying another top coat (instead of polishing the finish) you may not need to go as smooth to get your final coat looking good. Shoot, we only went to 2000 before cutting and polishing cars when i was doing them 😅 may save you some time? Also, if it measured better... I'd say you built a better sub 😉 well done!
@chrisferris3303
@chrisferris3303 11 месяцев назад
Yeah this is the first time I’ve gone all the way to 5000 grit. My brother swears by doing it this way so I thought I’d give it a go :). I’ve made some other furniture using 2000 to smooth out the finish nearly identical but there is a slight difference…even if it’s in our heads lol. Thanks for watching @LifeofBliss .

That is absolutely a beautiful furniture grade sub cabinet. I enjoyed the build. Why are you using foam in the cabinet? I was taught to use an amplifier with at least double the rms of the speaker, so you have some clean dynamic headroom for the speaker. Anyway, great vid
@chrisferris3303
@chrisferris3303 5 месяцев назад
Hey thanks for watching. I went with foam based off of products I’ve had using similar material. As for the amp. You’re probably right but the combo I’m using is giving me great results.

@TokeBoisen
@TokeBoisen 8 месяцев назад
It's worth noting that more or even excessive output at deep frequencies can make a subwoofer sound "slow" or "boomy", when that is more likely a problem of the room's interaction. My guess is that objectively the Klipsch performs no better than yours with regards to transient response or damping

If you have a good Hi-Fidelity Stereo or audio system at home then "Yes" you can hear the different nuances between subwoofers and speakers. However, that's assuming a good microphone is used to record the subwoofer instead of your cell phone. It's like when people may shoot a decent video with their cell at a concert, but sound quality is horrid, and you wonder "why bother" it sounds like crap.
@83hjf
@83hjf 11 месяцев назад
looks great but your amp is underpowered. you should always use a much larger amp than the subwoofer is rated for. it's perfectly fine to have 1000W transients on a 300W RMS sub, and in fact, this is what you want. As long as, of course, they're just transients.
@TokeBoisen
@TokeBoisen 8 месяцев назад
Unless the amp or his source has a high-pass filter, he'll be running into excursion limits at a fraction of the power, so it's unnecessary. Regardless, if this can get as loud as he wants, more power is wasted
@07wrxtr1
@07wrxtr1 7 месяцев назад
Agreed - I have made that mistake in car audio with even some higher end rockford fosgste amps… they will deal with clipping for only so long before both the amp and sub (jl audio!) will self destruct…. Worse: the electrical smell will be so bad you will end up throwing away the enclosure…. So lesson learned 2.5-3x the wattage I think I will need… I would rather have a blown sub than a more expensive amp!!! Same story with brands like M-Audio - internal plate amps = garbage components made in Chinuh… you get about 5-7 years and then you’re SOL… sad because I absolutely loved the smooth sound of my m3-6’s for near field use… they were sleepers for 2013 era speakers
