10,000 Watt 15" Subwoofer Build Part 10 FINAL

[@R_00N]

That's insane peaking at 20hz must be moving a ton of air.

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

It really is!

[@Andrew_kiwi_AF]

@@ParkerTheBasshead how does it peak at 20hz? Isn’t that well below box tune? Also the cabin is so small that it can’t simply peak that low. To peak at 20hz your box tune would need to be 15hz or something silly. I think there’s something funky going on with your subsonic and crossover points Over lapping which I’ve seen happen many of times.

[@Andrew_kiwi_AF]

@@ParkerTheBasshead ok so a damaged box will cause the low peak thing. I’ve had cars before the more volume you give it the peak Comes down and was always due to a damaged port or box

[@APinTheAK]

@@Andrew_kiwi_AF tuned @ 25hz

[@Andrew_kiwi_AF]

@@APinTheAK I like that lots :):) but still. How is it possible to peak 5hz lower then box tune? If it’s leaking at 20hz that means it will play down into the teens like a boss :):)

[@michaellopez2617]

@parkerthebasshead it was a pleasure meeting you at the Sundown Audio 2022. I’m the guy with the single 10” on the Kia Rio.

[@Bassotronics]

It’s why I love tubes and not common square enclosures. Tubes are relatively light, modular and unbreakable! I’m a biased tube guy. If making a common square box, you have to brace the hell out of it which is necessary, make a thick baffle etc and can weigh dozens of pounds because of it.

[@PhiMobileSounds]

Learning through doing. Sometimes you just have to experience issues and resolve them to internalize why certain techniques are used in the application. Good stuff! There is nothing wrong with going to version 2.

I like to use a combo of screws and nails. As a framer you learn that screws have pull out strength but no sheer strength. Especially the black sheetrock screws will sheer. You probably can check those screws and see some are sheered. Try a stronger deck screw. And use wood glue not liquid nails. Glue cures faster

[@fordharley37]

Love ur content wish I had some subs like that I bought 2skar ix 10 blew them replaced them with the same now I'm afraid to turn it up cnt wait till ur suv build dn its a monster

[@loopinator1]

Love the build. And it came together super quick. One tip I wanted to give is I use 5/16 t-nuts and Allen head bolts for holding my heavy subs in place. The t-nuts have a much larger footprint inside the box than any screw or bolt could as well as a much better clamping force due to it using actual metal on metal threads and you can uninstall and reinstall the subs without ever worrying about wearing out the holes. I have even used a small bit of medium strength thread locker on them to keep the bolts from coming loose with vibration. Keep up the great work. I can't wait to see the completed project.

[@BobBasshead]

Good tip on the t-nuts, you beat me too it!

[@MotoAtheist]

I doubt he cares about longevity of this setup, he'll be swapping everything out within a month I bet.

[@Antonnn1111]

T nuts strip out regularly and suck for heavy subwoofer usage, in my experience. Deck screws are just fine, if the hole strips out, put some thin copper wire in the hole or rubber material and then screw it back in

WoW Parker, Back over 40 years ago I punched out 138 dBs (NCAA Certified) in a 1980 Mighty max P/U with 2 alternators, 2 Batteries, 4 Alpha sonic amps connected to 4 Pyle pro 12 inch and 2 JBL 15 inch subs. I took #1 for SPL going against vans from Orion, Kicker and Cerwin Vega in a daily work truck with a shell. Keep doing what you love to do. !

[@DIYAudioGuy]

Hope the box holds together for the show!

[@josephsaucedo8691]

Yup when you built it the first time I didn't see any wood clamps and the glue was a little shy the lack of screws doesn't help either. If you glue it right it spose to be stronger than the wood it self and wood glue should come out of the sides when clamped. Have fun and good luck at the show bass on 🎶👍👌✌️💯🎶 boooom

[@KaySwiss21]

One thing I've kinda figured out on my own people, which you won't see in many KZbin videos. If you want good loud, clean, bass; never turn up the "bass boost" or "bass" knob on the amplifier. Only use the gain. Some amps may not even have this knob but if it does don't use it. It just distorts your bass and causes the amp to clip easier.

[@drop-nyc]

I have always been a big bass head , ever since I was younger. I'm using a 4500 watt amp to push a single 15 inch subwoofer. Wish I had more money to buy a better 15 inch sub. The one I got now a Rockville Destroyer, and deaf bounce Apocalypse amp. Definitely want to upgrade.

[@AdamJDe]

Being a space lover I'd myself love to see some sort of badasses outer space design on a box 😮

[@jasoncoyman6069]

This is why you should ALWAYS use quality wood glue when building a box. The glue will hold better than the screws. I love your videos. Great build. Keep them coming!!!

[@1ohmwrecker]

I use the threaded insert screws. They're expensive, but won't go nowhere! They becomes one w the baffle👍

[@georgesrisomsak9650]

The low lows breaks stuff for sure! Use tight bond 2 wood glue, it's extremely strong. Tip... When building a box, blow out your cuts with compressed air, them wipe with a wet rag JUST BEFORE laying the glue joints. The water will act as a thinner, and the glue will flow into the wood deeper, making a much stronger glue joint. You'll break the wood before the glue let's go. Then brace it up as well, and you have a bullet proof box. Less flex and movement on the enclosure allows the energy to be made into sound, and not flexing wood. I bet you gained a bit after redoing it all. I know there's a 50+ in that setup down low. I was doing 48.6 in the same truck with and single 18, peaking at 24, tuned to 25 on about 3300 clamped watts. Move the port away from the door a bit, retest. There's a good gain to be had getting the box position right. You may lose too, try and test. And again, and again and again. There's a 50 for sure I'm there, you just need to play with it a bit. Close dash vents, and lower the visors strait down. Try opening the glove box, and adjust window positions. Likely best with the front windows down, or just the driver's side down. Every vehicle is different, but that worked in my 4dr 03' 7.3 superduty. Yours is a bit smaller being extended cab, so results will vary surely..

[@travisabrahamson5092]

I fully agree on window positions.. Mine is night and day difference with just window positioning.

literally any glue at all would have been an improvement

[@pvtpelnar11]

[@matt6951]

You can buy threaded inserts so you can use a good machine screw, a 10-32 machine screw would be the way to go. They are easy to install, and don’t fuck up your box pulling subs in and out, and crack the wood like those self tapers.

[@workingclassperson2124]

Dj Droppn-Droppin beats,low & slow is a great album. Deadly Bass is one of my all time favorites. When tuned low of course

[@philrab]

What I’ve done when dealing with very powerful subs is to set my saw to 45 degrees and rip a long angle off the end of one of my scrap pieces of wood, then set it back to 90 and rip another. Take and glue those into all of the interior edges of your box to beef up the edges and corners to prevent exactly this issue. On lower powered boxes you can run a bead of glue to caulk the inside edges. Also, you can trade off some reduced net volume without much strength loss by swapping to 3/4” dowel rod for your internal bracing instead of 2x4.

[@MrAnderson5157]

Or maybe more than one screw and no glue.

[@rickgore3350]

[@TG-qy3us]

[@BobBasshead]

I realize it was a one man rush job putting that system together and you did great! One thing I'd like to point out on the box build. Back in the 80's (yeah I'm that old) when I built a box I'd rip 2x4's with-wise (1 5/8" x 1 5/8") glue and screw them on every full length internal joint. Back then we didn't take into account the volume that the bracing and the displacement of the woofer itself took up. As Nick Tonniges suggested use 5/16 T-Nuts and Allen head bolts to secure those subs solidly to the box, those self-drilling screws you used aren't going to last and have no where the amount of clamping force of the bolts and T-Nuts. Good luck on the sound competition!

Quick dvc trick, no meter, no scope. Run one coil from each sub per amp to match the gains and make sure they're in phase with each other. Turn it way down reverse polarity on one sub and set the gain where there's little to no movement. Unless your sending the amps binaural signals 3hz offset, it ensures the subs are getting identical power. Can you compare these with the Dead Game Audio Huracan/v3?

[@APinTheAK]

Bangerrr bruh! You needa upgrade your mounting game to Threaded Inserts and Allen key Machine Screws. I could never go back.

Nice job parker, killer lows, it's hard to get big numbers tuned that low, so a 148 or so is really killer below 30, tuned to 36/40 you would have a pretty stout numbers. I looked up those black bricks and for the money you can't beat them. You can't even build a sub from new parts of that caliber for under $500, I have over $530 in each of my 15s and they have 400oz and 3" 8 layer not a 470oz with a 4" 8 layer coil. The BB HH is a true budget banger, killer value. If they had come out when I built the 1st of my 2 15s I probably would have just gone with those. Only downside is going up to a 4" coil does require bit more power, I only have a 5k so I probably will get more output with 3" coiled subs at that power level. Im building the 2nd 15 now because the motors and TI frames were out of stock. but I've flogged the 1st 15 and on that 5k I can get it stinking with serious bumping with occasional clip light blinks, but with intermittent clipping she heats up fast, ya get stink in like half a song... My custom monster 18 I built with zero clipping laughs at whatever it's seeing from that 5k tho, it actually needs more powah baby. Im building the 15s as D2s so they will be wired to .5 so hopefully I can keep that impedance down bit longer and get bit more slam I think that CAB half bridge will take it...if not guess I'll find one that will.

Use 13ply Baltic birch from a local cabinet shop or plywood distributor or Radiata pine from home depot is fine as long as you don't plan to stain it. Real birch plywood is $180 per sheet and weighs about 100lbs but if staining, there is no better option. Thick veneer hard to burn through when sanding, and holds screws like a champ. No voids on edges so glue has plenty to adhere to. Birch from home depot has a weightless composite core that doesn't hold screws and the edges are full of voids that doesn't give glue much to adhere to and the veneer is super thin very easy to burn through when sanding....oh and your box will flex its assoff.

I'm still debating between either 1. Single gothic 12. Downfiring, ported to 30hz with port facing rear of cab. I'd then use the 2 rzr2500 amps. 1 amp per voice coil witch would be 900rms watts at 4 ohms! Or do 2. Use both Gothic 12s downfiring, then keep enclosure sealed and use one amp per subwoofer. Would then be 650rms watts at 2 ohms each subwoofer. I love anything rebassed, 28-35hz. Deep bass u can feel. If I do the single set up..... I can look for 2 more rzr2500 amps and do another enclosure behind this one. Except second enclosure would be sub firing to rear with port facing up. If you guys have any other thoughts or tips. I would sure appreciate them. Thanks

T-NUTS and MACHINE SCREWS = the best way to mount subs into enclosure. Won't pull out or get fagged out no matter how many times sub is taken out/put in. 1.25" round poplar dowel rod works for bracing (so box can stay in car)
