Making A Powered Sub Woofer - High Quality Bass - DIY Speaker

[@JohnHeisz]

See the build article for more details on the design of this sub woofer: ibuildit.ca/projects/making-a-powered-sub-woofer/ The soundbar build: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGbVm5mbpLCbjZY

[@chrischtea]

Is the new poly urethane construction adhesive a different flavor than the old one?

[@epiphonesg007]

Port area is too small if you are going to power it over 20W below 40Hz. The port will cause chuffing, especualll in dynamic movie scenes. Ive recently built a portable bluetooth speaker with 2 6.5inch woofers (xmax of only 9mm), I used a 110mm (little over 4 inch)port tuned to 36Hz and below 40hz and over 80W of power you can hear the port slightly. (Which is ok, since the portable amp will only be 100W) Small narrow ports also make the port more prone to port noise. I would go over a 5 to 1 ratio (width to height), unless the port is at least 25% larger then necessary. WinIsd is a great free program for modeling drivers under power.

Build a crane for move the speaker 🤣🤣🤣 . Big box ,little subwoofer . Much to learn ,kid .

[@exploreimphalmanipurwithjo9261]

Sir can u please build me a car underseat subwoofer

[@jimthesoundman8641]

@@epiphonesg007 I agree, the port is too narrow. That's why most ports you see are circles or squares. You can even make triangular shaped dual ports in each of the bottom corners. In most speaker design programs, you can play around with the size of the port, and the length of the port, and the number of ports, to find something that works well.

I'm 67, and watching this makes my blood pressure go down (I suffer from hypertension). I've done many things in my lifetime, but building a set of speakers or a subwoofer is something I've always wanted to do. I really enjoyed your video and soon plan to make an attempt at building something I can be proud of. Well Done John.

[@danielszemborski]

I love it! Grandpa builds a large subwoofer and gets revenge on the young bass-heads driving by every day!

[@Ericdawg420]

You really dont have to mider all the edges no one will ever see. He is just showing off. Lol

[@jumpercable20]

@@Ericdawg420 If you really want to create something beautiful, sometimes you just have to put that finishing touch on it to make it special.

[@1337ghomri]

Wow 67, and want to build your on speakers. Do it! I'm really impressed by your mentality.

[@dennissvensson6051]

Can really recommend it, i built a subwoffer system for my living room, inclosed is the easiest version if you are a beginner.

[@Ericdawg420]

After working with wood for a year at work in pattern shop, Some people will never have any idea how much skill and patience this man must have to build all of the things he does. Much respect my friend. Keep making cool vids for me to watch and never do. Lol

[@Chris-yy7qc]

Dont use fiberglass to stuff the subwoofer. The fibers will be blown out and airborne into the air you breathe.

[@Grommet2007]

Wrapping the fiberglass in t-shirt material will stop this from happening. Or you could just use polyester fiberfill instead.

[@andrewp4661]

@@Grommet2007 surely polyester fiberfill

[@madmax2069]

Snag a few old pillows, wash em and rip the stuffing out. Or buy new.

[@justinfoster6135]

Everyone who did this that read the comment just died inside

[@evilwoodchuck]

I'm allergic to fiberglass, I stay the fuck away from that stuff.

[@JimDockrellWatertone]

I would have never thought OSB could look so good. But then, you seem to make it work over and over again.

[@ark-fab]

I really like your comments during the movie John -- They are well composed and with a certain "calmness." . You´ve got a new fan in Denmark.

[@jeffeberl12]

With OSB, you either love it or hate it. I love it. I made a gift for a friend and their response was, "This is great. I will paint it right away!"

[@ritchiehoyle8299]

Greetings from the South Coast of England. Love your videos John. Thank you.

[@TAG-1984]

Beautiful sub woofer build John!. Are the neighbours satisfied aswell?

[@RobinLewisMakes]

This was a lot of fun to watch. Never seen a port like that, really interesting!

[@miketabar2327]

Great editing John. I dig the machine gun brad nailing. Kudos.

[@scottmiller9098]

The contrast in color and materials is a nice touch.

[@nfworks5266]

You might have got used to it by now, but I absolutely love that table saw John. Looks like a real pleasure to use.

[@vgullotta]

I was going to say the same thing! I wish I could buy his table saw over the vast majority of the ones for sale today.

[@grant3226]

Same same.. it looks so easy to use... I came here for the saw :D

[@Dustinicus.]

@@vgullotta he has plans that you can buy to build it

[@DIYBuilds]

Somehow you made OSB beautiful

[@VW.907]

Like your channel because it's kinda non traditional wood working. Interesting to see the engineering behind what you do.

[@OldAndGettingOlder]

Not that I'm surprised with you building a speaker, but it's cool you've incorporated other things into your 'woodworking'. Your soundbar was great and this sub is a great compliment to it. I know you've done a PC case, but I'd watch other wooden PC builds if you're so inclined.

[@grahamdougherty226]

One hell of a craftsman at work here.

[@victorreppeto7050]

I love your home made bar clamps!

[@tadamb1]

Very cool. Your speaker building videos are some of my favorites. I even read the build article this time because I was curious about the enclosure design.

[@johncware66]

The precision of your builds is just a joy to watch and admire.

[@Patricksworkshop]

nice build John looks like your going to rock your house out with that sub also I really like how your table saw came out so clean

[@worldwidewonders4565]

Subwoofer in action is one of the beautiful things to hear !

[@TheLindsay720]

The OSB looks really tidy in this application!!

[@JilesMcCoy]

This is nice. I just built a 21" subwoofer. Super fun stuff.

[@sand0077]

Nice description of the procedure, easy to follow and understand. Great woodworking skills!

[@musicconnelly]

Whoa I Love It! The front black and textured wood sides look really unique, but still professional together. Great Video!!

[@etclizen8937]

[@davecozzi9721]

Great woodworking skills. I do not like the way OSB looks but, it makes for a "dead" cabinet along with liquid nails type adhesives. Nice little sub.

Beautiful work John!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jerryjohnson4625]

Nice job. You're pretty good with that table saw. Heck with the people that thumbs down. I think it's great that you're able to do something like that and that you put it on a video. Keep up the good work. Boom

[@sureshot311]

This came out awesome. The osb was a great choice I think. I also think the towel texture complimented it well, but understand if you want it smooth. Awesome project.

[@arthurdanielles4784]

Another great build😊 Mine I cheated by scavenging an old Grundig bass unit modding it and renovating the main exterior and now matches in with the surround sound bar next to the Samsung 55inc tv 😊 sounds awesome with real growl 👀 For those not in the know, make sure your inputs are correct 👍ALSO a lot of surround sound speakers are 6 OHM - connection to an amp with 8 ohm outputs may damage the speakers OR the amp unit! IF the outputs are 4 ohm connecting 6 or 8 ohm speakers is usually OK 🆗 Love your vids and awesome workshop

[@nickkropat8857]

I really like tasteful use of OSB in modern builds like this - Super nice final product, thank you :D

[@rxlo1062]

[@TheMetaljrc]

The speaker is awesome , but please remove the fiberglass insulation and vacuum clean the inside. That insulation throws small glass particles in the air impossible to see in most lightings conditions , people can breath that in, and it is dangerous. Sudwoofers move a lot of air in and out of ported enclosures , that's why is not a good idea to put that type insulation in there.

[@F3Ibane]

I don't think anyone has any delusions about John being an authority for safety. Hell, watching the clip at 3:12 I'm amazed that this guy still has all of his digits.

[@OneManBandWoodworks]

That’s pretty awesome, I found out the hard way about paint marking while it’s still soft. Takes about 3 weeks for it to properly toughen, until then polycell foam is the only safe contact material.
