Hi Gang! Originally created the channel to post up my Firebird (hence the channel image) but have since started to upload audio related content. Here to share, learn and guide. Content for entertainment purposes only.
CrystaLac; It’s knot Shellac and Brite Tone boombox project finish
Used CrystaLac tannin blocker and high gloss Brite Tone polyurethane for this boombox. Video at the end shows the start to finish product. There was lots and lots of wet sanding (from 600, 1000, 1500, 2000 to 3000 grit). A power sander does help but you’ll want to go by hand to get the stubborn areas.

Spl-Lab Smart Volt Meter; installation and read out issue
zhlédnutí 151Před rokem
The smart volt meter. See for yourself if this is something that’ll work for you. Didn’t use the remote in or remote out. Linked the Power and Measure In and put it on a rocker switch. Used a local ground in the dash. I also have the mini SPL meter from SPL labs. Have the same voltage issue reading higher. Please comment with your experience or suggestions on how to fix.

Buff to high gloss finish - CrystaLac & Brite Tone
zhlédnutí 463Před 2 lety
Here I'm working on a Joker themed boombox showing how I achieved a high gloss using water based polyurethane. Crystalac is my go to poly because of its low VOC which allows me to use it indoors. I can achieve a high gloss with just 3 coats. More is better in case you need to wet sand to get closer to that mirror like finish. This is just my experience with the product. Has been nothing but pos...

I made some mdf spacers the same curved shape at the bracket. Have the same grill as you. Then carpeted them. But I'm moving my EVL from a 2.5 cubic ft ported box to a 1.7 cubic ft sealed box as I got a merc C205 and want the boot space. Plus the burnester system would be overpowered with the ported box. Not tested it yet but hope the grill is far enough away
Dudes Altima you’re sitting in is Daniel Placencio’s. This video is kinda old but he has a 6th order with 2 dc audio level 5 12s with back then I believe he said he had an ampere 3800 and a limitless cyber 6k with a 250 alternator. He does 150s in this car easily. Dude out of LA county. Now he runs cmax and has a better amp so he’s definitely louder now.
What are you using to power this thing?
Don't you get a lot of voltage drop when you run a ground wire all the way to the trunk. I think it's much better to ground do the chassis.
For real honestly just make it simple For everyone out there just simply take your negative wire and run it to where your spare tire goes in the bottom of your trunk. Just drill a hole through the metal. Make sure you're not going to hit a gas tank LOL and you're good to go
You still using this in a car?
Yes. If I have any regret, is that I should have purchased both banks I own at the same time. I have a cell(s) that must be a B grade or just went bad somehow. I have to balance my cells every other month or else I have voltage issues. Already replaced my balancer and the buss bars
What is the red board? Pre amplifiers?
The background noise screws up your video.
Why run grounds that far? I thought the closer the better for grounds.
Good video and advice by the way. I'm gonna tackle this job this weekend
Would you happen to have any speaker quick connects you would like to sell? I have a Alpine pdx-f4 that’s missing them. Thanks!
apple to pricey for me and can not modify them or repair get parts is like not happening .look like a neat tool
these need a big box or nah ?
Beast subs painful clean and sq all in one but I went to the maximum on the box w 2.5!net and holy Cow they said no but I see why… Its doing hair tricks and doughnut rolls w Truck doors flapping Ram so… T What’s your thoughts I’m building a band pass atm..
👍
👍
👍
Guys the fix to this is wrap the wires in foam Or don’t buy skarbage
Looks professional. Great job. Maybe you should open up your own sound shop.👍
Awesome
What's up my brother? We need more videos👍
Been super busy at work and with the Fam. I try to record my progress on some of what I’ve been doing but miss a lot in between that I can’t complete a full video. Check out my IG @ogscythe boomboxes and TikTok @og.scythe that I use for my boombox building process. I try not to flood CZcams with useless crap so don’t record myself doing easy jobs. Thanks for following!!
@@ogscythe6118 Thank you. Love your channel.
THANK YOU SO MUCHH!!!!!!!oml saved like 150$ in not buying a new sub
What's the RMS on this monster, 5000W?? 😱
It’s rated 3500 but have it hooked up to a SMART5BASS TARAMPS at 1 ohm. Digs deep on the lows, down to 26hz. It’s a nice sub for sure. It’s in my daily still.
Well let's hear the damn thing ding dong
Sold this a couple years ago and I’m trying to get the buyer to send it in for battery replacement. Once in I’ll record a sound check! Thanks for the comment!!
Your the MAN !! Thxs for amplifier setting I started there and maybe took my cross over to about 90 saw you had your at 110 looks like it to me but I’m so new to this I appreciate your help it’s nice to not blow up stuff , I put amp In didn’t know about crossovers and blew my tweeters first 30 seconds 😫😂😂 face palm right 🤦🏼♂️ GREAT VIDEO THXS 😊 I’m not blowing anymore stuff this sound war 💸💸 adds cash up fast
hi what size chambers are you running? im building something similar atm and worried my chambers are to small to hit lows well does yours hit lows? thanks
Hey, any chance you can make a video showing what you did to your 8th gen accord in terms of tweeters? Looking to do something to mine and needs some ideas
So you go from showing the products to the final result but don't actually show ANY of those steps :-(
Nice. looks like it would be pretty heavy to take to the beach but I'm sure sounds really good. I made a very crude suitcase speaker cab for my van, cause there was no place to mount the speakers. It sounds better than the door speakers. I've been collecting old suitcases for years. Maybe there is a market for them.
Oh there definitely is. There’s several fellow boombox enthusiasts you could find on IG (such as boomboxbaggage from Maryland) that do phenomenal work. I prefer working with repurposed wine/liquor boxes but did this one per a clients request (I love a challenge). Funny you mention the beach. I’m at one as I write this. I took my Jameson 18 sample box. 2 years old and going strong. Small and loud enough for what I need it for. Completely sealed unit. I’d be apprehensive taking a ported box to the beach. Check out my IG page “Og Scythe Custom Boombox” to see all my work. Cheers!
so if it's 4" hole it must be 4.25"? you didnt show the hole cutting. witing for your reply. thanx
❤❤
Thank you for the clear detailed video. Very helpful. 👽👍🏼
Will the punch 600x4 would be good for this punch setup
Oh yeah. Would definitely make them sing 🎶
Ported box is best for sound and bass punch
4th order means it’s ported on one side and sealed on the other. The port is front firing into the cab.
@@ogscythe6118absolutely but band pass has limited range. I bet it's punchy as hell though! What is the ports turned to?
@ogscythe6118 It must be exhausting to have all the "experts" critiquing your system based upon a CZcams video telling you what you "should have done." Long as you're happy with it great.. very nice box.
Hi, Instructions on the Website from Vantrue are useless.. Thanks for your video. It worked perfectly.
Is the box the same as the expensive boxes
It’s the same material (wood) but not designed specific to your subs mechanical parameters. You’ll always get a better sound when the box is custom
Did use a fuse holder
How do u say the regular version puts out more??the bass version cost more and says smart 5k bass the other is a smart 5k....i jus bought the smart 5k bass
Can any body tell me how to get a bass knob for this thing??i have the bass version 5k..not a gain knob either a bass know ..and I dnt want the Lc1 gain control
Sorry for the delay. I use a SPL Cartel Street lead that hooks up between the head unit and amp. I have mine going to the Epicenter. A cheap PAC LC-1 would work too.
@@ogscythe6118 yea I had ordered the pac Lc1 but the guy who was hooking my system up told me send it bck because it wasn't a bass knob it was for gain control 2 different things..I just need a bass knob like bck a while ago had the telephone style jack that hooked straight to the amp..
@@ogscythe6118 I tried looking for that bass knob couldn't find it
No help at all
Man what bass knob can I use??
Why no flip the box around subs foward port back
I was aiming to seal it off from the trunk. Plus the kids loved to watch stuff float lol. Might do that just to change it up a bit. I just don’t want to mess my trunk latch up.
@@ogscythe6118 shouldnt
@@ogscythe6118 so where ever the port is is wat gets pressurized
Port rear facing in a trunk is generally a massive loss in performance. The only gain is rattle.
@@xchimnyx wrong
Nice video man .. I have the same door speakers and tweeters where can I find the same spacers you made for his door speaker s to make them fit ..thanks
Thanks! I think I cut this out with a jigsaw. Doable with a scrolling t-shank bit (I recommend Bosch). You can get a much cleaner cut with a router and jasper jig. Used 3/4in plywood and the thick AC foam weather strips (Walmart). I recommend you spray with Hurculiner (Amazon) type paint. It’s thick and will protect against moisture. Hope that helps.
U can order the bass knob for it I did for the smart 3bass
Want to sell the wolframs?
Are you using 1/0 wire for this amp?
I use dual SHCA 1/0
yeah just needed one more pass at the start
Is the subwoofer Dayton audio also and do u have the approximate cost for all the speakers and amp.i order alot of stuff from parts express.im looking to do something like this.thanks
Hi. I get a lot of my drivers from Parts Express also. Great company! Sub is the Tang Band W5 I believe. This case came out great. Clear highs and dug deep into lows. Send me a message through IG for pricing (Og Scythe Custom Boombox).
Awesome the way you explained everything in detail that’s a great job brother keep up the great work
I found formatting the card on the unit is necessary. Afterward, I removed the card and connected to my computer. Once I copied the .BIM file over, I put the card back into the cam and it updated to version 37.1.
What it metered
I think I metered 145 but almost blew them out. Never did reach 150. I still need to seal off the cabin but have been busy with family and kids. Sorry for the late response.
