I don't normally take the time to comment on KZbin videos but I've watched several of your videos and I wanted to thank you for all of your videos. I've been a car audio addict for over 15 years and professional automotive technician for 10 years. Your videos really inspire me to take my skills to the next level. Thank you again for all of your videos. You are truly a talented fabricator.

[@CarAudioFabrication]

will willis Thank you, I really appreciate that, glad to hear you are enjoying the videos. :) The comments and "likes" really help the videos to show up better in your feed so if you could help me out by doing that it is appreciated. :)

[@TerryPullen]

I have watched about 20 of your videos and I have yet to see you cut any corners or half ass anything. Awesome!

[@Drizzle420]

That's not true, He actually cut a few corners just in this one video.

[@spyplane8]

Mark, I listen to literally all music types. Frank Sinatra, Country, Alternative, Rock, Some old school rap (NWA, Ice cube, Easy E) Heck sometimes 16 year old daughter plays something she mistakenly called music. Initially I planned on firing the subwoofer up into the rear seat or down into the floor . But without a seat lift my needed mounting depth and X-Max wouldn't have enough clearance to play freely. I have a DC Audio M3 8. The generic recommendation from DC Audio is .75 cuft While playing around w/ multiple Airspace options in WinISD and Speaker Box Lite via Android app and the Web version I come up with a nice looking curve using .94 ft cubed. I have up to 1.3 but have settled on .94. The programs are recommending a 4x1 slot port at 17.9 inches long. This gives an FB of 24hz and a F3 of 20.7. I know sub box performance can vary based on vehicle and physical location. My vehicle is a 2011 f150 supercrew and it being installed under the rear seat firing forward directly in the center of the rear seat. Question 1. Should I select my own tuning frequency or is the Algorithm used by WinISD calculating the the only tuning based on the subs TS parameters or is it just a middle of the road option that is recommended? I know that certain vehicles like hatchbacks can give a few DB increase if firing back or up at the glass. When porting this subwoofer I had planned on firing the port into the space behind the rear seat in an attempt to get a possible db boost. Question 2. Should I fire the port and subwoofer both forward or is my rear port idea into the open space behind the rear seat valid? I appreciate any input you can provide me.

[@ResurrectionUph]

Great tips. Love your videos. You should thin your glue w lacquer thinner. It will spray way better. Also using foam to emboss is kinda squishy. You get better results from something hard like wood or bondo or even an actual bronco logo. Thanks for sharing you have improved my work.

[@kabarrion]

Thanks for the tip on cutting the 45s

[@ItalianStallion1415]

This is awesome! I'm trying to design a system for my semi truck. I have a lot of room inside the cab to work with.

[@esmokah]

This is a great video. I think it would be good to add since this is about making BETTER boxes, as you put it, that Birch plywood is a better alternative to MDF.

[@kalutecpowersolutions9523]

wonderful work we are waiting for more

[@ColinCochranT11]

You are the router table king.

[@Le_sorcier_888]

Thank you ! For seat ibiza cupra 6j its ok to put dd audio 712d (1200rms)with gzca 1500m1 (1350wrms) and condensator 5 farad with the original alternator off the car ?

[@kacpergotner2138]

Yours perfections is awesome of your videos.🦸‍♂️

[@kylegohawks8604]

alternatively if want bolder raised letters. brush the contact cement into the vinyl and under design quickly. use tool with a rounded edge. to make the material get tighter into the corner. will hold a lot better than spray glue. use a heat gun with armor all on the vinyl to reactivate the cement if starting to set up. armor all will protect the vinyl. heat will soften up the cement. speed is key. if do it will have more pop

[@mikeyj5383]

Do you recommend epoxying or spraying any kind of liner on the inside of a subwoofer box? I've heard that it can help the output of a sub. Great videos btw👍🏼

[@noelsantiago3159]

You make it look so easy! Thank you for the video!!

[@makhosinomawa7885]

I like this design. Can you please do a video of how one would design a 3 12" subs with a slot for mounting 2 amp 8000 w for speakers and tweeters and a single monoblock and on top of that box build something similar to a Phoenix Gold ZPROB654 High SPL Audio Speaker Box 6.5" Mid Bass and 3.6" Tweeters and on the sub box mount 6x 6x9 speakers. How would you design this and would it fit into a Suzuki ertiga boot..? I see you have done plenty of sub boxes but they all somewhat minimalist so I'd like to challenge you to design a complete sound box setup with 3 subs, 4 bullet tweeters, 4 mid range, 6 6x9 amps mounted in a slot on top of the sub box below the phoenix like box for the mids and the tweeters

[@joses.salmeron4181]

Thank you very nice I love Nice work

[@Toyie]

What do you call the black stuff all around the box, is that just plain carpet? Because I look for carpet and a different results comes out. Can you help?

[@dollyjohnson28]

What’s the measurement for the inner port wall?

[@ashleyedmonds6214]

Just built your box but tuned to 35hz , I'm putting 2 x gto 1214's in there. If I upgrade to ground zero gzrw30xspl would this enclosure be too small? Btw I've learnt a lot from your vids, thanks for the help in the uk.

[@jcadams6]

Awesome video. Answers lots of questions I didnt even know I had about some of the techniques you use to get the amazing results you do. Thanks Mark.

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Joshua Adams Thank you for watching :)

[@bigwilly43729]

I don't even build boxes, but I love these vids!

[@progfool]

what the body filler crack from the bass?

[@ratherbe7]

Awesome. Thank you

[@Latinsonido]

i fucking love your vids bro, you are a hell of a builder!!!

[@CarAudioFabrication]

+Latinsonido Thanks man! Glad you are enjoying them!

[@dajanaywilliams8528]

CarAudioFabrication can u do a video on building a box for a set 6.5" pyle powers

[@ร.ต.อ.สง่าจันทมาส]

...thank you very much... from thailand 13 november 2022

[@antro_oner]

Jesus Mark, great work.

[@yomommajumprcables]

You have SKILLS SIR

[@mytruckinlifeace4047]

Dude I love your work I'm never going to build my systems without consulting your videos. It's going to be a while till I get started on my car but I'll make sure to share my progress with you.

[@lkjyuiop1987]

You make this stuff look fun I have 2 new 15s and going to put them in a small car and do not give a shit It will be overkill but might as well go big or go home. What do you use for home stereo speakers. ?

[@Uplinkpr0]

Man that's a clean box, custom box designs are cool but to the people who cant build its a shame no one is custom building boxes and shipping them anymore Davetheboxguy shut down his shop so now im most likely stuck with a prefab X_X.

[@vermili0138]

Believe in yourself lol.

[@Uplinkpr0]

hehe well living in an apartment believing dont create room lol

[@nigeldan8564]

Does 1 sub move more than d other in this box bcuz there is no divider

[@soundpercussion1545]

Always stunting it mark. U think u could go over how u set up amp gains and what brand speakers amps subs etc. U would recommend? Known ones and not so well known? Thanks mark. Always supporting

[@since-qj4yw]

Very good 👍👍👍

[@lomassoogrim648]

What is the max watts that box can hold

[@kylegohawks8604]

hey a good vid would be. why is air space important. also how a ported box works

[@ILOCANOSINLONDON]

Caf great work but why cant you use a rounded angle instead of a straight 45 degree angle??

[@johnnyhinds1596]

Youre incredible bro.

[@davidhowell6908]

Top notch work!

[@teamletteracing]

So I made it to Mobile Solutions. That’s a awesome toy store.

[@garyblakely2684]

I know this is a old video but still love the box build . My question is with this setup work with Kenwood Excelon subwoofers ? I really hope it can

[@lcmedia2165]

Great video! Keep them coming

[@Afistnu]

What router do you use? Recommend a brand of bits? What router table are you using?

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Afistnu Good questions, I always have a link in the video description for all tools and materials. In this case you can find that info here: goo.gl/GiO68l

[@teyjizzle]

Have 4 12 skar ix for 2018 Ford Focus st. Trying find way to make box and port dimensions. Bracing so dimensions are 35length 23 deep 20 height.

[@timschutte8310]

, very nice professional work

[@rshchahal9510]

does the enclosure make more bass from other boxes??

[@DinasGarage]

CarAudioFabrication Thanks for this Mark! I am gonna be buying a router and table saw this year! I am gonna have to pick up some of the mobile solutions things so I can work on my box for the RSX and I am gonna make a box for my new to me truck 2013 Tacoma double cab! Thanks again for always providing awesome and helpful videos!

[@Sean-snowmanTM]

Great video Mark as always! cant wait to see more! "huge fan from South Africa"

[@johnnycarter6196]

Was this design for 2 12inch subs? I am trying to DIY the same ported box, and i am king of stuck with the port size. my box front panel is basically smaller than the port size (port size: 3inch x 16inch), i need to do the port 3.5inch x 13inch port opening and 44inch L port shape lengh to fit perfectly. This means L shape port 22inch L shape on each side, as the port will be located in middle of the box. Is this correct?

[@donihermawan776]

Nice bro

[@ManofCulture]

Superb!

[@CarAudioFabrication]

+ANTHONY CABALLERO Thanks yo!

[@obi-wankenobi9871]

+CarAudioFabrication Is a longer port gonna give me any advantages if i have the place so I dont have to make comprimizes somewhere else?

[@CebastyanB]

so cool bro.. ive just visited Car toys to get my own custom box along with JL Audio HD900/5 amp and (2)12W3V3-4 Subs , tweeters and mids... wanted to research and learn about the process because the cost was ASTRONOMICAL

[@kkpage01100]

Yeah bro that cost is like half the price of the goods for install and wires is ridiculous

[@albertocarrion1327]

great video

[@arguellesiii]

What is used on the port that makes it that color?

[@Red_Avenger]

Very nice video! Thank you so much!

[@MrTimdtoolman1]

You make it look so easy, the job turned out excellent. Very nicely explained Bro. as always top notch. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@TheDutchman1980]

I have an 03 ford super duty 4 door that I have already moved the rear seat ahead 1.5 inch to make room for a box for 4 8 inch subs behind the seat. Do you have any videos of a sub box build for a truck like this or a recommendation of someone who does. Love all the videos...

[@ethancabrera7841]

CarAudioFabrication Do you guys have the actual PDF file of the box you built in the video. I want to build my own box for 2 12" subs and just need something to fall upon. Thanks

[@ilovetoyotatrucks]

Can you apply heat from a tourch to a exacto blade and cut through the foam or will it just melt/catch fire-just curious to weather or not it's possible to get a cleaner cut?

[@CarAudioFabrication]

randall jr Benoit Possibly, I don't see the need though, once you cover with foam and surface with vinyl the foam edge loses its resolution.

[@ilovetoyotatrucks]

For sure, leather or swade too?

[@ilovetoyotatrucks]

Swede*

[@JWhip804]

How do you feel about spraying the inside of a box with Flex Seal rubber spray? Would this affect the acoustic quality by trapping air in too well?

[@codacain2201]

Nice

[@RK-ci9nn]

I would honestly buy one of these, I don't have the skills or tools required to build something like this

[@CarAudioFabrication]

This can be purchased for $800 + depending on finish.

[@ze_german2921]

I want to build and design myself Hifi Speakers, What are you using to design your blueprint drawings? Autocad

[@harshitburman3352]

Can I use this for 2 subs of 1000W RMS each? Please respond

[@Finite-Tuning]

Man, you have some serious skills! Your videos make me want to work harder though :(...

[@bassfear_9952]

He has good tools

[@dvolada81]

Nice clean work bro!! Liking your style 👍

[@Aikidoman06]

I have a question: I have a jeep CJ5 I want to put a box under the rear seat. Its outside dimensions are 4X20X30 to fit under the seat. I think I can put 6X9s with an angled wall and a single small woofer. Any suggestions? Ever build a box in that tight of an area?

[@ryanperraut3583]

I have 2 subs in my trunk but always have ppl with me so I can't leave the seats down. If I cut a hole in my rear deck will it act as a port into the cab of my car?

[@tyke2829]

Does the space between the vent opening and the subs have to be that far away? I’m working with limited space-_- (32 inches for length)

[@rajeevtmusic]

which wood should I use to make the box

[@raverthug]

I love the videos, do you plan to make any videos using fiber glass or how to do complete (non false wall) builds. Im curious how to do a whole trunk and have it flow together without just slapping up a fancy false wall

[@Dc2_kevoo]

Is there anyway you can make a custom box for a certain car and sell it cause I'm not good with building all this but want a nice custom box for my car

[@sholafemisamuelobadimu5189]

I like it

[@spoogethat]

Can you use and explain different types of commonly used woods in box building and pros and cons, thanks

[@marcoacho]

awsome work

[@lesterthomas3234]

i am looking for the dust collection funnel you have on your router table...can not locate it...is it still made?

[@CarAudioFabrication]

lester thomas Give my buddy Bryan at Mobile Solutions a call, he should be able to help you find one.

[@southernoverdrive09]

One question I have is, does the empty void behind the 45's in the corners have any chance of causing any resonance issues?

[@samuelthabah2643]

I want a box which I can fit a 10inch woofer, and 6inch speakers.. Can you give me some ideas on how I can get some design..?

[@itolond]

what size (thickness) MDF are you using?

[@robb2465]

How about a custom sub box for the spare tire compartment in a 2015 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack? Mine doesn't come with a spare and I think a subwoofer in that space would be sweet!!

[@trojanman22]

Where do you get your carpet and vinyl from??

[@justin-sq7st]

tbh this is what omvlacking with my system i feel...my box amazing video my head is full of ideas u got a sub out of me for sire

[@jacqalas]

I am also trying to build the right box for my old sony sub. Sony XS-L1235 but I cant find speaker specs for it. Is there any way you can point me in the right direction? I have also tried on the sony website but no luck. Best I could find is it's a 12" 200w rms with a VAS 104 liter.

[@MobilediscowirralCoUk]

That is very highly made! Much better then dj world crap boxes being used! Love to make some of these as in active! Do you have any help with making active subwoofer with handles i will pay for a design

[@CarAudioFabrication]

I can definitely help with a design. www.caraudiofabrication.com/box-designs thanks for watching!

[@nicksaluzzi640]

[@RussLyman]

Mark that came out awesome as always. I think I caught a quick glance of some of the used gifts cards I sent you to spread body filler ha. Its finally getting warmer here in CT so hoping to get back to working on the car

[@marklengal9990]

Mark. Is it possible to build a box for behind the rear seat that include subwoofer and amp? I’m limited for space. 2004 gmc crew cab

[@juanmolina2137]
