[@woofer2121]

yes turn the magnet around to open it to the air and moisture

[@SoundsFantastic]

The ground has regulated temperature, the outside does not. Seems ass backwards I agree.

[@YT-MasterAdmin]

@@jamescollier3 Where's Vagus?

[@BinaryzeroNYC]

Look there's filters

[@BinaryzeroNYC]

​@@YT-MasterAdminbut moisture idk

[@DaBrute]

Underground sub? I didn't know this was even a thing...

[@jakematthes1487]

Its a sub-subwoofer

[@malicious1111]

neighbors gonna love it, buying now!

[@robk9563]

I wonder if they make a casket version!? :- ) Geeeze!

[@xephael3485]

Rich person speaker... can't just enjoy outdoors, needs to have outdoor speaker system with inground bass.

[@bolter99]

Exactly...why is it even a thing lol

[@alexsworld6076]

We have installed several of these and every time we are impressed. Don't be scared of greatness.

[@wadeguidry6675]

Great idea. I want one in my coffin when I'm buried.

[@SharkFishSF]

Wade Guidry You can use this, it's a 'burial' sub.

[@saltysoysauce954]

Good idea. Let it play thriller every midnight!

[@mrsandroks]

Laughing out loud a lot hahahahaha

[@jarrod1687]

Ive been into audio for 20 years, why am i just hearing about this now?

[@lunatrics]

the mice will love it. the other day a saw a rat with a glowstick

[@DeadlyVenomKing]

What u trying to do Wake the Dead?

[@Assimilator702]

I bet rodents and birds LOVE that enclosure.

[@DiegoSilberberg]

Joe Rico there is a grill for that.

[@RatonTM]

je love car audio not this ;)

[@robk9563]

Two grills in my yard - for cooking and drain!

[@speakerman5286]

If you use it at least once a week, no birds or rodents will go near it, with or without a grill.

[@timgermanyjr]

That's a cool Idea. I'm stealing it.

[@garciajose1973]

Tim Germany good shit

[@famousmidnight]

Same lol

All fun and games till the Graboids come.

[@lostonlongisland6845]

i had never though about putting a subwoofer in a bbq before, now thats innovation

[@bossoholic]

BBQ sub beats brisket

[@LegendaryGarageYT]

an underground 4th order good.... but how do you keep humidity out of the enclosure causing the voice coil to rust and the parts to corrode over time this wouldnt last a year in the south

[@gregkramer5588]

voice coils do not contain iron so rust is not an issue.

[@TheBestOrion]

Greg Kramer copper still oxidises and plastics/rubbers break down.

[@GlennnD]

You have to keep it playing loud to get the coil warm :))))

[@Bob_Lob_Law]

Orion VanNortwick Copper is coated in enamel.

[@TheBestOrion]

Bob Lob Law I didn't think about that. good thinking sir

[@volksrod6926]

Your diagram is off. Plus it would last longer with the cone facing out. Heat won't damage it as much as moisture and hotter ambient air.

[@jeffl119]

Be nice to know the rms wattage and ohms. Actually any specs would be helpful.

[@denisschneider5642]

GROUND SHAKING BASS!!! *low vibrations

[@robk9563]

Lets build a 48" one and have our own earthquakes.

[@justaskdad]

Now the ants can dance.

[@Mr.WellingtonVonDukeIII]

Paint it like a mushroom

[@daArchitect-]

Then add a yard gnome next to it.

[@YT-MasterAdmin]

Genius!

[@formentorvz5]

Can you do something like a bass test with this sub?

[@destinysremorse6316]

never thought i would ever see technology like this....AWESOME

[@10acebikesjodybennettii19]

This is absolutely amazing I am into car audio but want one of these

[@shfeddy]

So, you face the magnet towards the opening so it wont overheat and fail?? what about all the other subwoofer boxes out there that are built magnet facing inwards yet never fail?

[@ilpatongi]

Ported boxes have the same principal, the port allows air to circulate thus cooling the magnet and coil. In sealed and passive radiator boxes the coil cools itself In this application, there's an higher risk of fail due to the sub being underground. Imagine a hot summer day, the grond absorbs the sun's radiations and basically insulate the sub in a heat chamber. Doesn't matter anyway, the sound won't be affected

[@RandoManFPV]

What about all the ones that do? When a simple sniff test on a ported enclosure would have told the user to turn it down and save their equipment?

[@robk9563]

Do you have one to take to the beach and put under water?

[@barsaf9989]

Thats actually pretty cool! You would just have to hide the cone thing behind some bushes or something.

[@kingkilla421]

seems like a joke

[@garychandler4296]

iMO it looks to me like you save making a solid box with a ton of bracing, etc. by being able to tamp into the earth, creating a 55- degree nominal, responsive, disharmonic-free unit that may or may not be hard to steal?

[@therealpeterhorvath]

to entertain neighbours :D

[@marcos250790]

para que entierran el woofer ? For what you bury the woofer?

[@artie2099]

Okay an actual DEMONSTRATION of it working should have been done in this video, instead its more like a sales pitch.

[@matthewmckinney6745]

Exactly. Waste of a video

[@gregkramer5588]

Why would it not work, there is nothing revolutionary at all here!

[@YT-MasterAdmin]

Because cameras typically don't pick up the low end frequencies that subwoofers put out.

[@Dev_skoll]

I am building one of these next. Who needs to buy one! Thanks for the design~~~

[@madmaxinthunderdome]

Great until your yard gets flooded and fills with water

[@DaCracky]

Well that's risk that you'll have to take if you wanna have a subwoofer in your yard anyway. Also it'd've to be about 12 cm high. to go in.

[@jay_tarantula899]

can only imagine if this has its own amp. that they would sell at a huge markup. or if they want u to fry ur house wiring. or burn it down. this literally is a bad idea anywhere

[@kevinpedersen5290]

Obviously, if you live in a flood hazardous area, you don't dig down speakers in the yard. If you do, you should get the penalty of a broken speaker, for being that fucking daft. However, I'd still prefer anything else over this.

[@theone148]

Watching this video made me think of when I was a kid. My mom HATED my subwoofers. I literally can see her telling me to go bury my subs im the back yard like this video. Hahaha. Lok

[@bigpat_4295]

Wait Outdoor and Underground speakers are a Thing¿

[@austinkuipers6087]

Tamped properly in clay heavy soil you won't have much of a cabinet resonance issue heh...but that's why we build well braced & damped boxes. They should have the active driver sealed with a passive radiator rather than a capped port. With weather sealed PR it's be much more reliable against humidity and if the PR ever rotted it's a cheap replacement. Sticking a bunch of desiccant packs inside would help keep the coil-corroding humidity at bay. Apparently the brand sucks, looks cheap at any rate. Might be fun to copy with a saturday and spare woofers...rain barrel buried sub? lol.

[@enescakr4203]

What is it for?

[@StrangeDuck]

its neat, but i hate that term "unmatched performance"

[@ellisgl]

I think the only sub that can really say that is the TRW-17 rotary subwoofer.

[@StrangeDuck]

ive never heard one, is it musical or just a low end monster?

[@RChero1010]

Yeah, "unmatched performance" would be a live concert in your back yard with deafening SPL.

[@ellisgl]

Hits low, very low: www.rotarywoofer.com/index_files/image002.jpg

[@MrBluzhound]

How is it wired?

[@brickblockster400mystery8]

not lying this is exponencial! im sorry for taking out your time !

[@toysareforboys1]

I love inverted :)

[@hydrogenix]

nassssty lol >)))

[@smackface6]

well that was awkward

[@DJSNT]

When you all realize that is a Guy... LMFAO

[@toysareforboys1]

haha DJSNT :) You should see all the marriage proposals in my inbox! I'm glad I'm not a pretty girl, the amount of harassment they have to put up with :(

[@hydrogenix]

well... if this picture in your profile is yours, I understand why! hahaha (i don't support them, I only understand their logic lol)

[@Name-cp5xh]

I wonder how it would do on a 40Hz burp...

[@charlesnorris3449]

Whats to keep bugs ie termites from eating the woofer?

[@Californiaaa]

soo.... whats the point of putting a woofer in the ground?

[@nickadz5490]

What you got I got two 15in Sundowns buried under my yard

[@travisgulley2652]

If you have noisy neighbors and want to get even with them this is a great thing to use to get even with your noisy neighbors

[@wildfireman13]

Can this be used as a weapon?

[@evilutionltd]

I'm not convinced about the air flow cooling the magnet. There is no way the speaker has enough movement to evacuate the air from the box to then be able to replace it with cold air. Convection will play a part and radiation of heat from the hot to the cold area in the top of the pipe where the air is being replaced but there is no air flow from the outside to the magnet.

[@timgermanyjr]

Regardless, having the motor assembly in the ported section helps with cooling more than having it in the sealed section.

[@evilutionltd]

I totally agree with that. I just don't agree that it happens through convection as alluded to in the video. I would guess conduction of heat through the different heat potential of the low air compared to the air higher up. There isn't a through flow to create air flow from the chimney effect.

[@timgermanyjr]

It's a positive/negative pressure effect that causes the air to 'dance' inside the ported section. How much heat transfer there is is arguable. I'd say that the air movement alone is what helps cooling in the same way a fan keeps you cool. There's def not a huge exchanged of air happening from the driver to the outside air.

[@stefankoopmans2200]

When the air inside the chamber raises in temperature, it will also expand and rise to the top to vent out. Also surrounding airflow outside will create circulation so it's is definitely better to direct the magnet this way.

[@StrangeDuck]

the cone moving is actually how subwoofers cool the coil. its just basic woofer design. like, pretty much all drivers work this way,

[@ricksalt6860]

I thought this was a comedy sketch . It's a cool idea if you don't have neighbours close by . I could see some neighbour taking a large rifle and blasting the top off the thing .

[@jccuchvjvj]

is this mole repellent?

[@UniCrafter]

Neighbours wonder how this mushroom could produce so much bass!

[@M3533ghost]

I’ll speak for everyone who’s intrusive thoughts of Putting this in their vehicle is insane

[@kix5457]

What about floods?

[@Vrylonely12]

so, no sound test?

[@turbolq4]

Looks like the air cleaner from an old semi truck.

[@RayTitske]

can u prove its have a good sound becose i am not hear it

[@lyokofans]

They don't make anything worth owning.

[@gregkramer5588]

Hearing it over your recorded and then through your device would be pretty meaningless. It is a standard 12" sub in a fourth order enclosure. It will not have a wide frequency range but should do well in the range it was designed for.

[@pimphandgamester]

I want to smoke some brisket's in that thing.

[@treymixon3618]

Installed 2 and they're actually not bad

[@Carlitosway211]

Welp, can't use that in Houston.. Too much flooding.

[@learnerlearns]

Buried VS burial; Know the difference.

[@ObviousSchism]

Isn't it about time that these things were installed in passenger planes?

[@Stig007]

This is cool but these are really expensive for what your are getting.

[@alwinjoy8374]

Can yo make a test

[@suzesiviter6083]

Nice idea an underground sub, reversing the driver is hardly a new idea, also whats stopping insects climbing inside the tube?, i can see late night insect parties.

[@VerdialMusic]

What would you need that for?

[@gallardo360]

to make the neighbors think 🤔 it's a earthquake

[@SALAM4]

Dude where is the sound? U didn't show how it sound?

[@BinaryzeroNYC]

Make it under 500$ and I'm in. My LG 400watr system is dope enough kid.

[@fox10169]

Speakers don't really get hot. You ever seen subs in a car? Their normally in sealed boxes

[@volksrod6926]

Fox they still get hot. Usually they aren't being pushed full tilt at max wattage so its hardly an issue. I've had ported subs get hot with the ac going

[@fox10169]

volksrod69 not hot enough to make a difference,. especially with this cheap home model, and stereo

[@fedgeno]

Speakers literally light on fire. Almost all the energy you put in them is converted to heat. They're very inefficient

[@mikejonsson7235]

i like the idea but what if its snows hard or Rain hard ? The subwoofer need rust protection and water protection. I think it would be more easier and cheaper to just put the usual home audio in The window and open it than this. I dont believe that the woofer will sound good.

[@RandoManFPV]

Just lube that baby up 🤣 I think it would sound good but I think output would be lacking.

[@PrinceVince007]

WHY???

[@Tony-hx2fj]

will this get rid of golphers????

[@capnmoench]

Or gophers?

[@capnmoench]

Or Cricket players?

[@Tony-hx2fj]

yea, gophers i thought it didn't look right, and with as many as I have I should have known HA!

[@capnmoench]

I think it would chase golfers away too! They don't seem like the type that can handle bass.

[@deimosphob]

I would have done a 2 port design tbh, as it makes more sense to keep a direct air path so that no noise is lost when bouncing off of the inside of the chamber.

[@volksrod6926]

Deimos Phob there would be very little in this design. Subs almost always reflect in there box in this box type. It's air movement that's important

[@leather8142]

A supplementary sub that vibrates the earth under festival goers feet as they rock out, yes please i'll take 5. (that's not a formal order, yet.)

[@tennicktenstyl]

Or you know, you can use normal subwoofers instead.

[@tangomantactical]

Ok, didn't get to hear it....

[@blueribb99]

I think this video was posted 10 days too soon

[@terry1427]

who invented this

[@herdumderdum1764]

SCAM the website doesn't work anymore

[@christianaldrich3885]

fuck yea,underground subwoffer..... I bump two 12s in my back yard and 3 next to the tree in the woods. thinking about getting some more to put underground

[@glennramage164]

Is this for real? If so...why?

[@markgildo85]

Best house for ants, insects, rats, snakes

[@cup_and_cone]

I worked​ at Universal Studios and Disney theme parks and we didn't even use burried subwoofers....

[@runaway6842]

Damn that is cool.

[@shobud71]

Next Bury your HDTV and personal computer for the best underground quality

[@pawsthecat9575]

i would buy this

[@jaypeepasion]

Does your neighbor get angry?

[@jaymercha3859]

Keeps gophers out too.

[@modus9686]

(sarcasm) so life changing by reverse mounting the subwoofer its going to work 10x better

[@WiiNV]

Ear shattering Bass to cause Earthquake's! 🙉😱

[@RennieAsh]

There is one problem with facing the mechanicals out - what happens if insects get in there?

[@Cookingforever581]

why??

[@danielesbordone1871]

That box will fill with condensation before you know it.

[@sniperpronerfmods9811]

Those are some thing wires for a subwoofer

[@SirFrag32]

These aren't car amplifirer power wires, they're standard 14 or 12 gauge speaker wire, plenty.

[@keith6743]

I like this

[@All2Skitzd]

Shit, 4" voice coil? what is the power handling? what kind of x-max? single VC? ohms? Instead of just 4th order they should design a 4th order and 6th order option.

[@WannaPoop]

Under ground sub, interesting

[@Jimbolaypipe]

I have never heard of a underground subwoofer

[@soosaisteven3984]

To wake up the deads?

Wow I didn’t think of flipping my underground subwoofer- wait....

[@nickwoodruff3321]

I’ve never even heard of such a thing....

[@StarsWithScars]

What the heck is this?! Anti mole system!? Earthquake maker?! Just audii system?

[@MakeAnything-]

looks like a perfect home for a rat
