Ammo Box Speaker DIY

[@tommygarcia6362]

Co worker built one for him and I asked for him to build me one. After watching this video I can do it myself. Thanks new friend..

[@TheSixxstar]

Little tip, loosely stuff the inside with a wool or Cotten and it will allow for a cleaner sound as well will take out any possibility of vibrations. It’s something that a lot of guys do in sound competitions to get a better sound quality

[@taswesty]

Thanks mate, great idea. I will give it a go and see what happens

[@JosephQPublic]

It adds volume to the box, if I remember correctly. If the box is built to the specs of the speaker, poly fil isn’t necessary.

[@DavidS-iw4ei]

Great Job.. Yes you can and should fuse the neg in this build.

[@illk1978]

This is awesome mate

[@waynetate9895]

Nice clean builds.

[@lugoj7181]

Good job.

[@taswesty]

Thanks Mate

[@alaincaron4524]

wowww nice job ,very clean,

[@taswesty]

Thanks Alain, It's always nice to get positive feedback. I appreciate it.

[@TonyAlvestad]

Great video! Thanks for going through the wiring process, it has given me some ideas for my speaker build!

[@taswesty]

No worries at all Tony. Are you going to make a video of your speaker build?

[@TonyAlvestad]

tas westy I don't know man, I've never done any kind of tutorial videos so I wouldn't know where to start. I'm looking to do a set of 6.5 components and an 8 inch sub in a 20mm ammo can, is there a specific amplifier you would recommend? Thanks

[@taswesty]

No need to do a tutorial. Just film your build and upload it. It would be great to see. Your build specs sound great but unfortunately I don't have the knowledge to recommend an amp. Might be worth shooting Kirby Meets Audio a message. I've learnt a lot from him, he knows his stuff.

[@LC-ue6mp]

Your new fan and sub has arrived!

[@taswesty]

Haha, awesome, Thanks Mate 👍

[@ruffleshow]

looks very nice. are the two mdf pieces enough to stop the metal from resonating?

[@taswesty]

Thanks Mate. The MDF alone is not enough. Off camera I filled joints and gaps with sealant to fix the resonating

[@kylewilliams3306]

What would be a good plastic ammo box that 2 6.5 1/2 150watt marine speaker will fit on the front of?

[@davidlaskowski8304]

look good great ! nice built wow!!! :)

[@taswesty]

Thanks David, I really appreciate the complements.

[@jordee7069]

Hello. What calculation did you do to determine the size and diameter of the bass reflex?

[@KyleWilliams-x8u]

What kind of plastic box should I get for plye 6.5. 1/2 150watt marine speaker? To fit on the front

[@pouf64]

Thanks mate for the video! I'm building my own speaker ammo box using your design and similar component. I have a question about the power bank. Mine won't deliver power on the 12v port unless i press the bank push button "on". Is it the same with yours? Is there a workaround so I don't need to press the ON button to get power? Thanks a lot 👍

[@pouf64]

@@jordee7069 thanks. Do you have a model to recomend?

[@jordee7069]

@@pouf64 Yes. Toogle Switch Yes, it is possible to connect a toggle switch to turn the battery on and off. However, since you mentioned that the battery only works when you press the "on" button, it's important to understand how that button works. If the "on" button is a momentary switch (which only sends a signal while it's pressed), you might need an additional circuit, such as a relay or a latch circuit, to keep the battery on with a toggle switch. If the "on" button is a traditional on/off switch (which changes state when pressed), then you could replace or add a toggle switch in parallel that performs the same function. In summary, it is possible, but the solution depends on the type of button you are currently using to turn the battery on. If you're not sure what type of button it is, I recommend checking the battery's manual or consulting the manufacturer. There is a switched electronic board that automatically changes the power source when an external supply is connected, but it's not necessary to install such a board. I do it manually. : "On/Off to connect and disconnect the battery. My goal is to remove the XT60 terminal from the battery when I get home and connect the correct external power supply to work at home." I have a custom-made battery. LifePO4 Lithium with BMS protection and an XT60 terminal.

What would be good plastic utility box that fit 6.5. 1/2 150w speaker on the front

[@KyleWilliams-x8u]

Could you help me find a good black plastic ammo box that two of these PLMR60W would both fit on the front for Bluetooth build? Thanks

[@kylewilliams3306]

On amazon PLMR60W Product Dimensions says 7.4 x 7.6 x 7.1 inches so I was woundering if a plastic ammo box with theses dimensions 15.75"L x 8"W x 10"H. Would fit those speakers I listed ?

[@soundedo]

very cool! but you could paint the instrument panel side in green too

[@taswesty]

Thanks Mate, that would definitely add to the finish.

[@rosskilpatrick934]

What is the brand of the battery? I checked your parts list but its now not available.

[@banana_phone4228]

What happens if you don’t cut off the little box on the positive side of the jumper cables

[@taswesty]

Nothing at all. The box contains diodes that stop current traveling in the wrong direction if you accidentally connect the terminals around the wrong way when jump starting a vehicle. I removed it to make packaging easier and because I was pretty confident I would wire it in correctly 😁

[@banana_phone4228]

Ok thanks man

[@taswesty]

@@banana_phone4228 No worries at all Mate. Anytime.

[@ElectronicsForFun]

instead of reprinting the port with black plastic why don't you just paint it black?

[@taswesty]

Yep, I could definitely do that. Either way would work.

[@NOAC91]

I dont see the link for the speaker grills? Nice built.

[@taswesty]

Thanks Mate. Sorry I missed adding the grills. You can get them here: goo.gl/ypCjuU

[@NOAC91]

thanks alot

[@taswesty]

No worries at all, happy to help.

[@fuze59]

How long goes battery last?

[@taswesty]

The longest I have ran it on the battery was 10 hours and it still wasn't flat. So I'm not sure what the full battery life would be.

[@RetroMechanic]

It's not a good idea to show finished product in first... I hate that.. Like motorcycle program OCC do :D "In this episode" and then they show everything, no suprise moment.

[@taswesty]

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately I've had more people tell me the complete opposite. It just comes down to personal preference and it's impossible to please everybody

[@robertsample42]

Retro-Mechanic DILIIGAF!!!

[@JosephQPublic]

Robert Sample - And you are?

[@dylanrietcheck6547]

Run time?

[@taswesty]

G'day Dylan, I ran it for just over 10 hours yesterday on the battery and it was still showing 12 volts on the meter.

[@KyleWilliams-x8u]

What be a good small plastic black with handle that fit theses 6.5. 1/2 150w marine speaker PLMR60W I do not want an ammo box ?
