I know this is an older video but I love the quality of work you do, I have been building furniture and other projects for a while but I want to start making subwoofer boxes like this and others you build now. I am going to build one and take pictures maybe make a video and bring it to a couple sound shops and see if they want to buy my boxes and I’ll make them specifically for their clients and see what they say. As always amazing craftsmanship

[@unclejimmygaming9001]

I destroyed so many boxes with these speakers. I had 2 tropos in the trunk of my mustang and they sounded amazing

[@CTSounds]

nice...

[@HammyTechnoid]

I'll bet that box bumped pretty good.... a sound sample would be icing on the cake.

[@dailyfilmfix469]

That's the cleanest looking subwoofer box I've ever seen

[@VivoVivo-ib4qk]

Nice DIY Speaker Design

[@theuncanspan]

the best box build i've ever seen. maybe i'll give box subs another shot.

[@MSTR-DTH23]

anybody else start watching this and start thinking " I don't know why I watch this knowing all I have is a damn circular saw" lol

[@FuskyTheHusky81]

thats enough to make this lol

[@ngaudio9143]

+Fusky The Husky And a jigsaw. Need them holes.

[@FuskyTheHusky81]

NGAudio ud be surprised what ive done with a circular saw XD but cricles are not easy.. lots of sand pepper and time..

[@jamiewickens1014]

i have a drill and a hammer haha

[@sharkfatrccustoms]

Yep! I've not seen one youtube video yet where the person does not have a table saw and router.

[@ivangabriel3472]

Awesome, thats a beautifull looking box, looks strong, looks smooth, looks heavy, looks professional.

[@toddh4133]

Very clean and solid Mark. Be sure to mention the importance of using new blades to cut the carpet to prevent fraying and pulling. Great work as usual!

[@margaretedesouza2577]

Ķys v íñn

[@JoeRey96]

I did this project myself. Man, did I get a lot of compliments on the window bracing and the 45's. The box is heavy after but I wont be moving around. Thinking of making them and selling them for a good profit

[@bushes4129]

Jose Reyes how much wood did you have to buy?

[@dionwalcott9677]

that subwoofer box is SWEEEEEEEET💓

[@awaahaab]

I love those tools. When I have a house with a garage, I will make sure to have all these tools for my weekend DIY jobs. :D

[@squirtmph]

First time I see you have posted a free design! Thank you

[@williamdawson4023]

that box is a professional grade build good job

[@iamlegend81gaming]

I love the tropo line very budget friendly and quality subs can't go wrong with these. Keep bringing that bass.

[@carzoneaccessories1611]

i showed it this full video to my carpenter. he can make it fast n easily.

[@RavsAjay]

I don't build this, what you show here but I love watching your videos. But now it's time to make one 12" sub-speaker box for my room. You use MDF wood for that box.

[@mayuradoolwela9717]

Superb craftsmanship. And a workshop I dream of

[@JackCarver10]

Video should be called "Buy Yourself a Router and Then Build a Ported Subwoofer Box for 2 12" Subs"

[@necroodin]

then go buy one for 60 bucks

[@BeaterJeep]

This should be “how to assemble a sub box” video. I would’ve liked to know more on the box design concept and specifically, more on the port design.

[@JustSub2Me]

This is for everybody who keeps commenting he forgot to put terminals on there how do you hook the speakers up! The name of the video is how to build a ported enclosure for 2 12s everybody knows well I thought they did u can just drill a hole through the back of the box run the wires out the back then seal the hole or use your imagination and cut a 3" by 2" square and buy box terminals! I mean do you need him to make a video to show you how to pick up a box and carry it to your car then he can make a part 4 video the difference between a Phillips head and a flat head screwdriver and he could finish up the series by making a part four showing what's the difference between positive and negative.... No matter what video somebody makes there's always going to be people that's going to find fault with it

[@Brock_Landers]

While I give your box building skills (from an exact blueprint) much credit, I have to say that for the basshead enthusiast, I cannot afford all of that stuff. Now, the final product was badass, and I know that it took your skills to make the final product what it eventually became (and it was an awesome box), guys like me that just want to hear some deep bass don't have all of those random tools like a table saw and router table in his garage, so we have to make due with what we can get our hands on at Harbor Freight. That being said, I am sure you know what this is like because I am sure you built your way up to using these tools and didn't start out with a nice table saw and routing table, so you can understand what I mean when I say this. Also, I'm sure that you didn't have that software that allows you to create and blueprint your own subwoofer box down to the millimeter, so you began like we all did, with a circular saw and a tape measure. I apologize if I sound like a douche bag, that was my intention, because I am trying to create a beautiful fantastic sounding sub box for two Sundown 12s from a 3/4" sheet of MDF and I dont have a CNC cutter or even a table saw. Shit, I don't even have any wood horses, just a trash can and an old rickety step ladder.

[@hakont.4960]

Wood horses are easy to make, and you don't need a fancy table saw or router table, a regular circular saw and jigsaw will get the job done nicely. You also don't need to do that fancy "window" brace, a couple regular old boring straight braces that connect the walls is good enough. I've gotten more advanced lately, but earlier I'd just use scrap wood for the bracing.

[@sunny05musicmaniye76]

Air pass side should have some different paint..... Box looks awesome sir

[@CTSounds]

thanks - check-out www.ctsounds.com when time permits...stay safe...

[@armandopanzaspinchicachond333]

Ta vien chingon ese cajon. Felicidades!!! Muy linpio tu travajo

[@makecreativeprojects]

Great build, keep it up. Learned a lot from you.

[@bodybuilding4life67]

Hi you are So extremely talented Very Very Professional Work EXCELLENT VIDEO .

[@themaverick7707]

Great insight!! Those who think they can try this at home, *don't try this at home!!* It's won't work.

[@sethh8892]

You can try this at home. I started doing this when I was 14 and I'm 16 now. I'm building a box for 4 DC Audio Level 1 12"s. So yes you can try this at home if you have the proper tools, and the knowledge of how to use them.

[@DatHondaBoi223]

/b/ Tard can you help me find a design for 2 skar audio sdr 12s? they are wired to 1 ohm and are rated for 600 watts rms each but my amp is giving them 1500 watts rms. my box is way to small right now so i need help building a box

[@TheZombieHunter868]

PurpleSkunkYT go to CT sounds website. That’s how I found my box bluprints

[@DatHondaBoi223]

TheZombieHunter 868 where on the website? all i can find is this video on the website

[@TheZombieHunter868]

Give me your email and I’ll send you mine

[@johndereensy3603]

Almost PERFECT...... But where is the CONNECTING WIRE OUTPUT... You sealed the whole box and everyone watching this video without noticing.... Lame

[@hazelclaire5325]

True haha

[@scr8ppedtm]

i noticed it

[@PremiumAphid]

I noticed lol

[@kumarrupesh4556]

Yes he forgot to cut the wire output hole🤣🤣🤣

[@erochernandez]

[@FirstLast-kr1fw]

thank you for this video. gives me ideas to make life simpler in my carpentry

[@felixplacido2835]

La mejor creación en cajones de subwoofer basss, muy bien realizado, excelente terminación. 👍................................. saludos a mi gente de 🇩🇴 RD.

[@Tom-wq2mz]

Great work. Very inlighted young man and Carpenter.

[@kaufmanat1]

I'm going to attempt to build a sub box, don't really need to, but seems like a fun challenge. Different than the cabinets and tables I normally build.

[@ShadowBikerVlogs]

Hi CT Sounds I am Akhil and I LOVE your Videos and Subscribed your channel also I just commenting here because to say just few word's that I need to tell every time while I watch your Videos but now this time I am opening up You Know What while I watching your videos and the way you explain the way I show detailed work m loving it very hardly and deeply. All thing I feel while watching your videos is like ₹ I JUST BORN IN THIS WORLD TO JUST WATCH ALL THE VIDEOS YOU ARE UPLOADING THATS IT ₹. AND FINALLY ₹₹₹ I LOVE THE CT SOUND SUBWOOFERS I LOVED IT ALOOOTTTT. ₹₹₹. BUT m unlucky that I don't have them and even I can't buy them that's only the disappoint but while watching yours videos I feel not disappointed

[@ShadowBikerVlogs]

My mail id .... [e-mail]

[@Xempt_One]

i wish i saw this video before i started building mine, all i had was 2 quick grip clamps, a 90° corner clamp, a cheap jigsaw, and a palm sander. same sort of design for 2 12's and suede wrapped. easy as, dont need a router, just looks a bit shite with my suede wrap job on the edges. better than the rough plywood surfaces though

[@mendangmendingchannel]

Your job is awesome. Clean, precision and nice looking.

[@JustEnufCustoms]

Great Box love C.A.F and CT Sounds keep them great builds coming. ✌️

[@ratzoy93]

Beautiful box you've made there!

[@benbowden8177]

I am a fan of the Hertz Hi-Energy and Millie woofers. Wouldn't mind seeing a video on these woofers not unless you already have and I haven't come across this yet :)

[@deltamane17]

Nice but not everyone has access to all these tools

[@HelloWorldOfficial]

I only have a hammer. And it was never used in the video.

[@Dat1x]

you can buy a bow for your own subwoofers

[@davidclarkson3338]

yup. guess you cant build a subwoofer.

[@migascustomsounds3054]

Lol. Most know that u need certain tools for certain jobs.

[@CausticSecretion]

Real men have these tools

[@briangtat2]

Nice the homie mark is the norm abrams of car audio haha right on

[@geofftubeyou]

You do great work Mark. I wish I could get you to make my box for my new 2019 RAM crew cab.

[@alvindaggerking9653]

looks great ill be building myself one of those. i don't have all the tools though but the little i have will work, just need the specs...

[@williamanderson5966]

Would love to see a dual 12" Meso Ported Setup

[@necroodin]

some true skills here

[@canaldopizzaiolovandersonv7804]

Parabéns pelo seu trabalho muito bonito

[@verifiedreviews8490]

Thats really cool, Im gonna have to try an make this for my setup it looks awesome! great video.

[@nameistunbekannt7896]

Satisfying af..

[@TheBeardBlade]

Awesome video, I would love to see you build a 4th order box.

[@santytechlover2833]

This is so beatiful

[@perthamboystick]

Wish I could get one of them for my son for his Birthday.

[@headshotzzz1000]

fantastic video i love those tools

[@likeclockwork6473]

Like my grandpa did everything. Glue and nails. My first sealed box for a 12in kicker came this way. Thing vibrated horrible. When in doubt glue it and screw it. Pre drill, wood screws and glue. Box will never vibrate unless you break the wood. The only way I'd trust a box using just glue and nails is if I significantly increased the surface area of my joints. Finger joints and dove tails go a long way to increase the surface area of your joints.

[@atumnaroa9059]

Please make a video on how to make a perfect 6th order box for the 6.5 mesos

[@deermagic1]

Love this dude I want to build a bow for 2 cf sounds 15in me so wow man you are good (professional bro) will be following you😁

[@MdJahid-jk5gy]

nice box

[@alluhatorrrez3724]

Beauty of a build!!

[@musicworld6485]

Very nice work pro

[@rexramjet76]

Awesome work Mark

[@timothyhinton5665]

no screws? I am worried it will separate on some low notes

[@NaturalBBler]

They use Nails

[@timothyhinton5665]

+Julian Li. nails pull easier than glue

[@vermili0138]

He uses titebond if I'm not mistaking, which is stronger than the wood.

[@KenColby87]

Just an FYI. The glue itself has a stronger bond into MDF then screws ever could. By drilling into the wood you're weakening the MDF by thinning it out in that area. Almost every "Pro" box builder doesn't use screws as they all know it's the adhesive that holds it together not the nails/screws Before you question me on it. All I do is sell Wood/Glue/Screws/ ect all day every day. I've heard the same thing from carpenters, contractors ext al day for the last 8 years.

[@svartahridxhgc]

He used MDF (the best material for enclosures), the problem with this "wood" instead of any other, is that it's not screws/nail friendly, because the edges are very fragile, all the hard work to hold everything together is made by the glue.

[@ctb1690]

Clean interface speaker sub system

[@KINGSLY00032]

very very nice box.

[@ricardolima3650]

[@janbpunktde]

So these are wireless speakers?

[@rayluca123]

[@williamdawson4023]

e-Zee I don't even know how that would work with car sub's

[@coreybear2359]

e-Zee bluetooth

[@vqjay7075]

e-Zee boneless

[@nid274]

oh man...he forgo to put connections in the enclosure for wiring the woofers!!

[@ethancouture2962]

Looks good

[@davidmorales-px6fu]

In my country there is no MDF of 19.05 mm or 3/4 inch, only 18 mm, so that you take it into account when making the diagrams.

[@sharkfatrccustoms]

So how much does the sub box work out at once you've bought a table saw, router, nail gun, spray gun and 90% of the Mobile Solutions catalogue?

[@williamdawson4023]

Sharkfat well if it breaks you can make more.😂

[@majorxdf]

WOW! That was some amazing craftsmanship. I really enjoyed watching this video.

[@dwaraka_sahithi]

[@marcoscope5791]

Was going to build a box myself but then I saw this video and just thought hmmm thats ok I'll just buy one..all I have is a circular saw lol

[@bartthedinger491]

please visit - www.ctsounds.com/collections/box-designs

[@RAW_Reality]

@@bartthedinger491 While I understand that your recommendation is smaller and higher, have you ever modeled out 2 of your 12" Strato subs in a 5ft³ box tuned to 26.5hz in WinISD?

[@josephsorrentino9530]

Great video

[@germanoraiva]

VERY GOOD

[@twozaunt]

Anyway to get the box design. Video notes say that it is coming soon. Thanks

[@halfbakedbean4467]

pretty lights intro nice!

[@kylegohawks8604]

whoops. not air space. just space. space is a luxury in a vehicle

[@albertgriffin2822]

You make a box with four 12s in it measurements to make a box of 412

[@rahulkant9350]

I love the sound

[@djambush360]

What i would like to see is how you connect those speakers. You totally forgot to put in some connector panels. Or do you route the cables through the base port?

[@yogindsoni]

Very nicely done!

[@ip519]

Can i use that spekers for home music system

[@kevinroberts8491]

Love your designs need a design for 2 12" inch ds18

[@sethh8892]

I know I'm a year late for this but if you get this mention, can you tell me the exact specs of your subwoofer?

[@chunk386]

Diablo are the best saw blades. But I swear I don't think I've ever seen anybody wearing a respirator to cut wood. I'm a framer though so id prob get fired if I asked my boss for one so I could go cut plywood lol

[@frost5f]

[@GujjarikiRasoi]

Nice

[@usmankhan7229]

u are genius...

[@warrenfranz7980]

I noticed that you didn't use any caulking? Its ok to use only wood glue?
