MDF Wood Subwoofer Bluetooth Speaker - Powerful Bass

[@martyhewes8589]

This cabinet design has traditionally been called an "Acoustic Labyrinth". The idea is that the back radiation from the speaker has to follow a path long enough so that by the time it gets to the opening, it's in phase with the front radiation, half wavelength. Some very good bass response has come from these types of cabinets, but as bass wavelengths are long, the cabinets tend to be big. See the Wiki. My complements on taking this on, but without actually graphing the frequency response, compared to the same driver in sealed, ported, and passive radiator enclosures, it's hard to tell if it's worth the size and effort. These designs were cool back when speakers were designed more for efficiency than solid low end, because most amplifiers put out 75 watts or less, mostly way less. Now we just make the woofer resonance low with heavy cones and huge, heavy voice coils, and hit them with hundreds of watts. It was a whole different equation when these dinosaurs roamed the earth. For those of you saying it should have been a full range driver, I believe this was meant to be a demo of a mono sub-woofer for a 2.1 or 4.1, and I praise the effort, but would love to see graphs. I suspect the miking used for this video is not capable of capturing the abilities of it.

[@_Covon]

Wow awesome, thought it was just a silly design 😆

[@Whitefox-pc7lp]

Yeah, but wouldn't that just be at the tuned frequency? And anything else frequency wise would be out of phase, since audio wave lengths have a specific Length. Let alone anything ported will have a "delay" and on top of that, speakers at different frequencies 'played" are not in phase as it is and that's just the raw speaker alone. It seems that phase will never be perfect or even near that. But I could be wrong on my thoughts.

[@fredjoel8113]

Neat project; having a CNC makes this easier than when I was making this type of enclosure a few decades ago! As a former loudspeaker designer/builder, this type of loudspeaker system more or less trades design calculation complexity for woodworking complexity. The labyrinth length is made to be around 1/4 of the wavelength of the lowest frequency desired. Choosing a decent full-range driver also eliminate crossover design complexity and has other advantages. But it also limits frequency and dynamic range but this may not necessarily be a design requirement depending on your intended use. Nice job!

Nice cabinet and i'd like to be able to hear the bass but the carpenter in me began to twitch when I noticed during glue up you would glue, clamp and then fire wire brads into the material but pull the clamps. Plus you made so much more work for yourself by not cleaning up the excess glue. The clamps are used for a reason; apply even pressure and basically turn the multiple pieces into one homogenous unit. The glue is also stronger than the wood and should be treated as such. Nice build though!

Toby Speakers had that design in 1969-70. But it was expensive, possibly due to the fancy solid woods used. I don't know how many they sold, but the factory was near my home and it wasn't there very long. My buddy refused to consider buying them, as did I suppose many people. He in particulzr was leery of buying a tall cabinet with nothing visible other than a small 5" speaker - and a lot of wood. It hardly mattered how it sounded, it was the principle, misunderstood perhaps, that did not make sense to some people at a time when Klipschhorns and Heresy speakers were the dream systems. Oddly, it hardly mattered to anyone that the big Klipsch speakers were designed for a mono world of vinyl...

[@andyfreeze4072]

As with all ported enclosures, put a high pass filter on the amp. Set it to resonant frequency. Anything below resonance is out of phase and you get massive excursion for no sound. This way you get no excursion at resonance and you can literally put a thumping amount of power into the speaker.

[@TimpBizkit]

[@TheMadJestyr]

You could really control the squeeze out on that glue better if you used a brush or roller to apply it in a thinner layer. Also, the hole in the speaker tabs is for you to feed the wire through and fold it over before you solder it. Makes a stronger connection. And when you solder bare wire together you should twist it first. That makes a cleaner connection introducing less "noise" in your electrical pathway. Other than that, nice job. Keep up the good work.

[@blaccteezy]

This drove me nuts

[@spambot7110]

i would not worry about the noise in this case, we're talking microvolts or nanovolts, far outside what matters for audio (especially line-level audio!). the reason you wanna twist the wires is so that they're mechanically connected! some of those solder joints are definitely gonna fail, especially the one that's got a couple mm of just solder between the wire and the speaker tab, around all that vibration... and the tack soldering onto the PCB pads, if there's no thru-holes to use, you definitely wanna melt the whole connection, you're gonna end up with weird metallurgy on that solder joint with all those partial melts, introducing weak spots. that's tricky when there's multiple wires on a single pad, but you can twist them together first so that you don't have to worry about controlling multiple wires at once.

I would stack the boards on pins and mill the inside and outside contour in one process. If you put the pins into critical areas it will stabilize against bending. So you don’t need to leave material which you have to remove afterwards. After milling you can stack everything together on long bolts with threat holes on the ends to screw it together. The finishing process is much less in that way. All you need to do is to drill the pattern of pin holes into the boards. Use one board as gage on wich you place a board to mill the whole contour inside and outside at ones. Use some screws to fix the board to mill on the lower to avoid the board to get liftet up.ore use threat bolts and fix it with nuts and washers..

[@rebel1500]

@@bobshifimods7302 Yes, in the transmission lines there is a good result with low resonance frequency, high Qms and long excursion in the low-frequency working zone of the cone, because you have to move a lot of air; this lowers the radiation impedance at low frequencies.

Its a transmission line loaded sub enclosure. There are actual measurable lengths to any frequency. 40,50,60hz pulses have a length. By giving the sub an overly long port to resonate through, you've accomplished several things not necessarily heard by the naked ear.

I don't know who called these labyrinth, this is called "transmission line" by anyone who is in the industry in my personal experience and building these is a phase every audiophile goes through until they finally understand that it's not worth compromising the size, weight and the excess material. It also takes a considerable amount of calculation and tuning since the volumetric space is at the bottom level for woofer to compress, tolerance margins are too small. Tech ingredients built some decent transmission line speakers but they are like obelisks.

[@TaswcmT]

The good thing about this woofer is that it's so massively reinforced by its very structure that its enclosure should be perfectly inert. On the other hand: A whole lot of work needs to be put in to make a fairly large enclosure with an itty bitty teeny tiny woofer, giving an end result that should easily be surpassed by a similarly sized closed enclosure with an 8-10" woofer, and the proper use of EQ. As a proof of concept it's interesting, and it demonstrates how intricate structures can be manufactured layer by layer instead of folding anything.

[@skewty]

Yeah but for a portable speaker driving that 8" or 10" properly will take massive amount more energy which goes against design considerations for battery operated speakers.

Mad Props for all the work you put into this. Would you consider separate speakers instead of forcing one to reproduce all of the frequencies. Even just a separate tweeter resonating the high frequencies would let your lower woofer be much cleaner and tighter.

[@kingmakespeaker1402]

Thank you

[@JAFO.]

It's a phase-coherent single driver *_full range_* with increased low frequency efficiency. Adding a passive crossover would introduce phase distortion and ruin the sound stage & presence if a stereo pair were utilized - unless the crossover was done in the digital domain for a lot more $$. - Allowing high frequency reproduction through a single driver designed for full-range use won't affect bass reproduction.

​@@110jmartin011 "I/Elucidate/Explain like I'm 5"? ELI5 - OK, No Problem; - it's going to have an uncanny *_live stage-presence effect_* due to utilizing a single driver (speaker) on each side - which remains *_"phase-pure"_* so all frequencies arrive to (and hopefully also perfectly, simultaneously emanate from) the speaker without causing any phase shift - something common when the wattage goes through a crossover network to filter highs, mids & lows and send them out to the appropriate drivers in a 2-way, 3-way, 4-way (or more) speaker system - like what you see in exactly 99.723547% of speakers on the market. 😉 ...exactly! 😎 These esoteric single-driver speakers may not provide *_"Slammin' Bass!"_* or _"Sizzling Highs"_ but the effect of near perfect phase on the listening experience results in a shockingly real listening experience in terms of closing your eyes and realizing that your imagination is running rampant with picturing actual people playing actual wood &/or metal instruments in the room *_WITH_* you. It's hard to imagine until you actually experience it, but for the nearest thing without exceeding $400 - $500, - locate an old 1970s Sherwood 7200-ish receiver in good original working condition, - an Adcom GCD-575 CD player - and a pair of Bose monitor 100s or 101s and set it up so you're exactly between the speakers making a nice equilateral triangle with you as the 3rd point *(outdoors if possible!)* and play something like a CD of *_JAZZ AT THE PAWNSHOP_* or some other well produced album - hopefully only using 2 microphones for true *_In-The-Room_* stereo recording/playback effect.

Be careful when using folded horn designs---it's easy to introduce resonance into the mix, which will favor certain frequency ranges (effectively creating a low frequency bandpass)

[@bobshifimods7302]

Is that a horn? Looks like a transmission line to me.

That would be the case, if this was a horn, but it's not!

@@bobshifimods7302 At best.... I'd call it a - chambered transmission line, but it seems to be a lot of effort and work, for not much benefit. Where's the bass?

[@doctorpatient519]

isn't the basic folded horn practice to have each successive opening larger than the previous?

[@1984mikyboy]

Tip: Pre drill holes to clamp layers with metal threads. Remove later and add wooden round stick. During clamping remove access glue less clean up. And also remove taps beforehand… Greets M

[@beornthebear.8220]

My understanding is that it's the only type of enclosure where the deepest note can actually be deeper than the resonance of the speaker without sounding bad or damaging the suspension of the speaker. with regular ported speakers, the aim is to make the cabinet resonance higher than the speaker resonance so there is not a huge peak is sound at the resonance frequency. Nice design.

[@kingmakespeaker1402]

Thank. I love you

[@yutan15silvia]

Back-loaded horn loudspeaker requires a gradual widening of the sound path.

[@priitmolder6475]

Its more of a funky T-line than a back-loaded horn... still sounds like shit when playing anything else than slow EDM. Goes to show, there is some things you cant replace... like displacement. 10" in a closed box will sound much better than a 6.5" whippersnapper...in a "clever" design.

Those kind of transmission line speaker look like really fun carpentry projects, but I bet it's far from high fidelity. Put them on a Klippel NFS and you'll probably see a frequency response that's all over the place including a boatload of resonance peaks.

[@GiuseppeAmico69]

Beautiful creation 👍

[@Raku777]

Thanks for sharing this. I learned a lot watching you work on this, like when you pre-soldered the electronics and pre-drilled some screw holes with two different sizes of drill bits. The acoustic labyrinth you created is impressive. I have seen some simpler ones that were made differently by taking boards that were full length minus the gap where the sound flows. The idea of making slices and gluing them together is interesting. The minor signal delay in the sound seems to create more dimensionality in the room, especially if you have two of them that have a slightly different labyrinth or if the stereo speakers have a low end that overlaps the range of the sub you made. I do wonder if its effect on different kinds of music is a little unpredictable, though. I would be curious how it would work for my favorite kind of music, which is ambient minimalism, where there are a very wide and full "pad" sounds. My sense is that it would deeply enrich the experience and make it feel more 3D.

[@potvinsuks8730]

'Pre Drilling with 2 sizes of Drill Bits". Yes! I'm happy to know I'm not the only one who notices such things hehe. So a pet peeve of mine is when people just drill a hole for a Pilot Hole but they completely forget that one other step of Through Holing. That's what you were seeing here when you noticed the 2 different sized drill bit drilling. Through hole and, Pilot hole. The proper way.

[@LegendaryMaoMao20]

Oh man, this has been in my watch later playlist since it got released, and I'm really glad I have the time to watch all of it because it's worth it, nice acoustic labyrinth btw! Pretty nice, I've learned a lot from here👍✨ we do need the graphs though :)

The chosen driver basically is for low frequency (bass) purposes. But you used it as full range driver which expected to produce sound at all audio frequency range. That's totally wrong design.

Меня одного смутило волшебное перемещение сверху вниз провода от динамика? И почему он не вывел регулятор громкости с платы? И почему такую габаритную колонку делать от мини аккумулятора от радиоуправляемой модели а не от стационарной сети (прям представляю как он по улице с таким сабом идет и кайфует от его веса и габаритов).

[@scanspeak00]

One thing I would recommend is to pay attention to how much wood dust you left inside the enclosure which can potentially affect your drivers. You should take measures to keep it clean as you go and seal it so that no dust enters while you're cutting/sanding in the final stages. Otherwise great job.

[@dunk8157]

Nice speaker, a little tip, you can make life easier for yourself if you wipe off the excess glue with a damp cloth, gives a cleaner finish and no need to go round chipping the glue off by hand.

[@braaimanook]

Reminds me of a TLS design featured in Wireless World back in the early 70's using KEF drivers and Dr Baileys Long Haired Sheeps Wool. A 9 foot labyrinth in a 3 foot case. Not as intricate as this but the bass was amazing.

[@fredjoel8113]

Yes. Dr. Bailey used the flat KEF B139 woofer, B110 bass/mid, and T27 tweeter. He provided the basic formula, which is much more simple than designing a bass reflex, bandpass, or even an acoustic suspension enclosure. The 9ft. length is good to around 30Hz.

[@braaimanook]

@@fredjoel8113 I well remember making a pair of these, weighing out the wool, teasing it out to get the correct density and then then threading it though the plastic mesh, sealing all the joints with a flexible mastic. I further remember being disappointed in the result, until I heard a double bass come in on a jazz number I used for testing. These were partnered with a Cambridge amp, a Garrard 401 with SME arm and a Shure v15 cartridge. The best system I have ever had, good days.

[@fredjoel8113]

This construction has nothing to do with the transmission line principle.. It is really a big effort, nevertheless with only a bit of sence of sound engineering.. Yes, a masterwork of compactness, a very sturdy and solid box that dampens its own side vibrations, but fails to "guide" the air pressure consequently, not to mension the inadequate phase reverse polarisation of the sound transmission. Let me remind you all, that just as a saxophone tube goes from a wide opening end to a very narrow one, in our mouth, the same way must the long chamber tunnel on the back of the woofer, handle the air pressure in the box : with sophisticated inclined appartments, no parallel sides at all, nor any return tunnels, and mostly significant, there has to be an accurate overall length of the whole "air travel" distance, for the correct phase return to take place. The quarter or the wavelenght of the "cut off" frequency of the speaker....as a mass. Allthought this construction could add some deep frequencies to the music, it could merely do nothing to contribute for hifi and tone precision.. With some significant changes though, having such a beautiful cutting maschine, and such a craftmanship, you can make very good speakers that realy sound fantastic... The electronics compared with the whole project, are a joke too... By the way,, I dont mean to be arrogant, I am an engineer myself and i have costructed many different boxes by Linn Akustiks. It just took me by surprise, to see such a good work with such a distinct failure...
