Imagine hopping in this guys car, asking about his sound system and he says he has dual 3 inch subs lmao

[@Biowolf626]

I’m running an American bass vfl 8 inch sub, makes my roof flex on my car lol . I love small subs

[@GayvonMark]

i have a single 4" sub, and i love it.

Then, after the funny look they give you, turning them all the way up and blowing his mind.

And those mini drivers are as expensive as 8 inch sub

[@Mitchelmp5]

How he manages to increase bass on these mini speakers blows my mind

How does Pete do it? I believe its two things, 'Education' and 'Acoustics'.

Impedance matching. These drivers are so small, the more you can port load the driver, the more it can achieve. 6th orders, T-lines are very capable, I'd like to see what a horn in this form factor could achieve, though I imagine it'd be a nightmare to fit into the build plane of a 3D printer. Folds galore.

In addition to great audio and 3D printing content, the videography, editing and audio quality of this video is fantastic. The transitions from video to rendering/animation, beautiful. I couldn't help but to comment, your production quality exceeds that of most channels with 10x more subscribers. Thank you for the craftsmanship, greatly appreciated.

[@timv9850]

This is by far one of the best KZbin channels I have ever experienced, and I've been using this platform for over a decade now. You're incredibly honest, precise, transparent, and efficient! It's so rare to hear someone speak so humbly on here, this channel is a much needed refreshment 🏝 thank you for all that you do, I appreciate you! cheers 🎆🎇

[@waynenakanishi971]

This seems to be the best solution that I can stick one underneath the front passenger seat. Thanks for your amazing content! Cheers

[@_N_B_0496]

Wow, I love how much bass both setups play, and especially how clean the sound is! But I love more bass so second I loved the second setup more.

[@z3r0x777]

Brother this videos blow my mind every time. I have learned few tricks here and there and I enjoy making my own boxes and stuff but the patience and science you display along with the precision and care are Fantastic. Thanks for sharing this awesome knowledge with the world.

[@SuperRaymondh]

Your scientific approach, integration of new ideas and technology, and willingness to try something just for proof of concept are all awesome. I enjoyed your audio vids before you integrated 3d printing... both of which are hobbies of mine as well. Keep em coming. I suppose I've got to build Hexibase V3 for my kids car now...

[@DanyBoi05]

Watched a few of your videos today, im very impressed, love the detailed information you give.

[@pIotney]

I've just came across your channel browsing through car audio videos. You, sir, are an amazing presenter, very pleasant to listen to. Keep it up!

[@snufalupaghus]

Dude. I totally admire you. Been watching your vids for a small while now... (think I stumbled upon you via some other bass channel). You positively have a music theory degree, as well as a degree in electronics engineering. I'm a prior Navy radar tech, so that helps with understanding the theories you are presenting. I'm also a bass enthusiast, as well as a moonlighting EDM producer, car nut, general nerd. Mad props to you man. Keep 'em coming.

[@Russh1]

Loving these type of videos on KZbin. Properly engineered and tested products. Subscribed.

[@neur303]

3d printing: definitely check out "make anything", cnc kitchen audio: i only know you hexibase :)

[@MasterMark5]

Yes! I have been waiting for the next video, so excited to watch it!

[@prxrb]

These videos are really unique and interesting because they 1) demonstrate how 3d printing can be an enabling tool in the advancement of other hobbies and knowledge domains and 2) because Hexibase is capable and intelligent, but not a dedicated 3d printing expert. This gives a really interesting look into what is practically achievable for a hobbyist that wants to use a printer as a tool, and does not want to invest a ton of time into becoming a 3d printing specialist. For years now, almost every commercial printer has been capable of producing excellent parts in the hands of an expert or specialist, so the evaluation criteria needs to shift to what it is capable of producing in the hands of a competent generalist.

[@brandonsealey4511]

I love these videos. So interesting and satisfying to watch.

As usual: I enjoy watching your videos. Keep making this content!

[@loxion4587]

So I went ahead and got me a printer after watching your v.2 build. It was my first print ever so there was a lot of trial and error. I got it done and opted for an internal bluetooth circuit amp and power supply input as the only externally visible connection (Pics on thingiverse). This is doable, thanks to you Sir! Just finished v.3 for my desktop setup the other day. Got a Dayton Audio DTA-2.1BT2 100W 2.1 for a dedicated sub channel and 2 satellites laying around AND THE SOUND IS AWESOME!!!! The dual subs don't even break a sweat, so I'm working on a remix now to take advantage of my 310x310 build volume. Will post on HexiBase Thingiverse remix page once complete with specs.

[@minko2533]

Wow, what great production quality. Awesome video.

[@sdr222725]

I had one of these woofers, but no 3d printer. I wanted to give this design a try, so used just one woofer and built it off 1/2 inch MDF. Of course I wasn’t able to make the curves like hexibase. But the design delivers. It fills my 2 car garage with ample bass. 👍 to hexibase.

[@SleeperCalais]

Amazing performance! Perfect example of proper enclosure design.

[@leroyjenkins09]

I remember watching your videos like 10 years ago. You used to build spl stuff then seems like gradually shifted to sq. Cool stuff, I really get into the details you explain, specially when designing a ported box. Always seem so thorough and so knowledgeable in this stuff just wondered if you do it as a profession or if it’s just a hobby.

[@takeshikovax6254]

I love Tang Band. Listening to this video on my desktop with a Voxel mini-sub, and I've built Paul Carmody's Isetta as well.

[@karlbarstad]

Could you also make a video on your education regarding audio? Perhaps what got you started, how and or where you studied, and where someone that’s interested may start? Great work as always! Thanks for the incredible videos.

[@LOTMAXX]

thanks, mate, amazing editing, also the content, very informative

[@tgxmike]

You designs are incredibly impressive. Your little 3" sub builds get my 15" sub in my living room moving. None of my book shelf speakers nor headphones can reproduce the bass properly. For anyone who is watching, if you don't have a system capable of producing some seriously low frequency bass, you are totally missing out.

[@gijoemolinaro]

I absolutely love your enthusiasm and depth of knowledge and I'm always left feeling like I cant wait for your next video 😉🤦‍♂️👌keep up the fantastic work and God bless you 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏

Awesome video and content in general! 👍 It was recommended because I recently got the Lotmaxx SC-10 and have been watching other people's videos on it. I believe Dirk is correct about the heat bed wiring being the issue with this printer. I've just ordered some replacement wires to help mitigate any possibility of failure in my printer soon. But so far it's been printing flawlessly! I've subscribed and am looking forward to watching more of your videos. Great work and take care! ✌️

[@Silentalarma]

Oh boy... Friend priented the enclosure for me, and boy does it sound Hi-Fi good! It's unbelieveably precise for what i'm used to (10's and 12's, JL's and Audison.). Sure, it doesn't have that much party factor, but for most applications it definately has enough of it. I'm gonna get more of these for the cars i have, this became an instant "go-to" solution for my needs. I'm definately going to experiment more with these.

[@RyuMoto]

I really enjoy your channel. Been a subscriber for a while but really didn't get hooked until you combined 3D printing with enclosure design. I would love if you could get into the theory and practical design side of things. I've gone through almost every single WinISD youtube tutorial online but I don't think WinISD can support complicated enclosures like the ones you make (T-Line, etc). I'm looking at using a Tang Band W5-2053 and it's other slightly beefier cousin in a small car foot well enclosure. Whatever ported box I design seems to have a steep drop off after 40hz. I'm just a total newbie hobbyist and hope you can do a video on box design! Love the channel, thank you!

[@markmark2961]

I am always amused by the writing, editing and producing qualities of your videos, not even mentioning the outstanding mic tech and sound quality!

[@billklement2492]

I'm pretty impressed! I rebuilt my printer and was looking for some large prints to try. Printed just about perfectly! I did have a bit of problem with the corners lifting, but that's my fault. It goes under my desk, so I'm not too worried! I also had to sand the tongue and groove to get them to fit together. Also my fault and I haven't fixed that yet! Also... Don't use 5 minute epoxy. It takes too long to cover the whole joint! I just barely made it. I pared it with a pair of the Back Horn sphere speakers with Tang Band W3-1364SA speakers I had laying around. Sound great! I'm powering them with a Fosi Audio BT30D-S with 50+50+100 watts. This speaker makes a great setup for my desk! You'd never believe this was 4 3" speakers! Sounds so much bigger! I can't believe the sub makes so much bass!!! Hexibase, you’re amazing! Thank you so much!!!

Rounded corners tend to warp less. An enclosure would also help with your issues. Just some foil faced foam taped together and set over the top does wonders.

Just discovered your channel and subbed, even though I don't understand all of the sound theory I still find it fascinating. I own a Prusa i3Mk2S and am a big fan of FreeCAD as well. I would love a build-a-long series for a PC speaker system with L+R+Sub 3D printed speakers that includes building/setup of the crossover and maybe even an optional low cost DSP solution for it. Love your content. Cheers!

[@AllElectronicsChannel]

Amazing ! A useful tip when soldering: remind yourself "I'm not a painter !" Hehehe. Try to heat more the zone with proper fluxe so you do not need to "paint" with the iron. The correct amount of heat and time will improve your solder joints ;) Great video !

Mococoa!!! Looks fantastic mate

[@Modern-Crafts]

I am really looking forward to see "something bigger". Like a 8 or 10" sub. Maybe you could also try to replace the flat top and bottom with a sheet of plywood or similar. This would greatly reduce the print time and also reduce the chance of warping. Or would the mix of materials have too much of a negative impact on the sound quality?

[@natalietrinh381]

I'm thinking of experimenting with this once I have access to a makerspace again. I'm also thinking that it may be possible to intentionally do a no bottom layer print at no infill and thin walls, then post print, mixing an epoxy/sand composite (or even mortar) in place of the infill. This would, in theory, reduce the amount of filiment used (let's admit it, it's not cheap), and replace it with a stiffer material with more mass. Might even arguably be easier to produce than just a straight up print.

[@aaronb1138]

The design is really simple with all straight walls and small enough to just make from 1/2" MDF or plywood and perhaps some large dowel stock routered to shape if you want to replicate the port entries while adding a form of stiffer bracing.

[@LowTech1980.]

I love what you are doing! Its amazing the sound you are getting with such a small box. I have a pair of Sony GS 6x9 and the amount of bass they produce free air is phenomenal. What would it take to get you to print a set of kick panels for them that would fit my 1986 f150 🤙keep up the good work!
