    I don't think everyone realizes the sheer effort that goes into a video like this! Not only is the subwoofer build amazing and done extremely well but the level of camera work, mixing of the audio and all of the editing would take days to do (0:52 even the saw blade is matching with the music)! Keep up the amazing work, videos like this require a lot of work and it sure pays off. Well done!

    I love the ultimax series. From the first time I saw them in the Parts Express adds coming to the house! I’m glad they worked out the lamination issues they had in the beginning and now these are monsters for the price point.

    When I model the UM10-22 out, it likes a 1.4 ft^3 (40 liters) tuned to 24Hz pretty well. However, with your 3" diameter port, your max port velocity is a whopping 55 meter per second at 20Hz! That's double what most people would consider acceptable. You'll get port noise for sure with significant wattage below 30Hz.

    @JeffrayCrownwell Před 6 lety +40

    Your sub-woofer looks really nice...BUT if you show it to an audio engineer...He will tell you that the box is way too small as a speaker made for low or very low frequency requires a much different wooden cabinet to insure a proper air flow. Keep up the good work and never stop learning!!

    I built a 12" Titanic MkIII 500 watt sub and chose a larger ported enclosure (about 2 cu. ft.) for music/home theater and am very pleased with it. With the interior bracing, I call it the "Norge" after the old little super heavy refrigerators, as I have to use a hand truck to move it around. Double walled 3/4" MDF gets heavy quickly, but doesn't rattle. BTW, nice video and nice woodworking.

    The ultimax series works really well in quarter-wave T-Lines and end up playing a full octave lower before rolloff... and they’re fast, extremely fast reaction wise. When facing a corner this definitely shortens any group delay the room gain has. When you don’t over drive them... the Ultimax’s are really good for DIY. As good and even better than SVS at pennies on the dollar.

    Nice one. 500W RMS it's pretty enough for any room and it sounds so good. There is one question, if normal shops subwoofers don't have the soft thing you put inside, how come they still sound good? In my opinion I would cover the subwoofer with that material like carpet. It will look better than the shiny finish. Awesome work you did there and also try to make the sides round, they will look so much better. Well done!

    The small ultimax subs seem very un-efficient. I tried the 8 inch it was very quiet. The 15 had potential. Just when it seemed like it was going loud and deep, the coil bottomed out! The 18 inch ultimax has a triple stack motor, it's probably really good.

  • @wb5mgr
    @wb5mgr Před 3 lety

    You really should consider learning a more advanced woodworking joint than the butt joint. That is the weakest joint their is. And nailing or screwing into the endgrain is an easy way to split a board.
    What you need to do is make what is called a rabbit on each of the boards so that you can join them by laying them over a triangular brace cut from a 2x2 ripped in half.
    Then you should inset the front face so it sits on these braces and the edges of the side rabbits and fits flush.
    Glue and finish nails will hold it but now you will have tight mitered joints rather than butt joints and a way stronger box.
    Also, if you cut a dado in the middle of each side board you can slide a brace that looks similar to the front plate down into the box that will brace all four walls and support the back of the magnet assembly.

    for those saying it's underpowered, he just barely turned it up, i assume that's because he is still breaking it in. you can't just beat on a brand new sub, you won't get the desired result, you will shorten it's life and you will probably miss it's whole potential through it's whole lifespan. i bet we will have a good sound demo pretty damn soon, that's how he always does it, relax.

    • @gianstevens7918
      @gianstevens7918 Před 6 lety +13

      The port is too small, you can see that because this is a high RMS rated sub-woofer which is receiving high RMS wattages from his amps. A small port / enclosure will cause the sub-woofer not to build up the pressure it should be building up. It doesn't allow for that, thus resulting in a boomy sound, basically faking volume (which is why it's still playing loud, exactly what companies who make prefab boxes do). The port itself is alright, but if you take a look at the length and throw it in to WinISD it's easy to see the port velocity is WAY over 10% of the speed of sound, which is about where it starts making port noise. General beginner mistakes.

    The Dayton plate amp would have been a much better amp. It is a class G amp that gives a class AB clarity. In other words it plays much cleaner clearer bass with virtually no distortion and has many more features for a few dollars more. When you are spending this much on a powered subwoofer it may as well be the best you can make it at a reasonable price. This is a great subwoofer and Im sure yours sounds great but next time do a little more research to maximize your project. All in all its a good project. Nice job.
