Thanks for watching hope you enjoyed!
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!
you are absolutely right 😊
.super
I agree 👍🏿
It's basically a show.
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.
Excelente trabajo, muy buen video pero serias tan amable de poner las "Medidas del bafle por favor"
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.
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!!
Jeffray Crownwell Finally someone who isn't bashing on his box design. But just pointing out that it isn't the best. And just appreciates the effort in the video and the build itself. Thank you :D
@Mykel Hardin I gotta give you credit but you could've just point it out nicely.
The recommended closed air space is 0.63 cubic ft.
@Mykel Hardin "Dumb comment"
It's a sealed sub ffs how is the cabinet to small. I've a psa 15inch in a 3 cubic foot enclosure. If you don't have the facts just shut up
@@TheJohnypie Thumb rule - the smaller the enclosure the higher your peak freq will be and especially the peakier it gets. ffs learn how to get your "facts" straight..
excelente work,nice factory
That sub needs a larger enclosure to play nice lows too
With that stuffing you should forget about anything below 36 - 38 Hz ... It will be consumed and reverberated from even order harmonics to odd order harmonics, leaving you with a pump-a-tron fart-lover's semi-tone aesthetics that makes your eyes create HUGE sound waves in your brain, as placebo effect dictates.
@@wickendarrow4779 What?
@@wickendarrow4779 Your comment makes no sense.
william fitzpatrick I actually understand what he’s saying, it makes sense if you ignore the humour aspect to it.
I Agree . If i was the sub im suffocated right now
good job!
The quality of the video and audio also surprised me. Can you tell me some specifications of your camera?
I wondered the same because it's very a smooth recording.
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.
That sound's/look's AMAZING!
woah for a second with the voice over and the background music I thought I was watching a Might car mods show
Good work.. I like the fact you built the face plate with two pieces of wood to reduce flex and resonance..
man, it looks REALLY better than i expected... the finishing touch are simply perfect.
edit: *now you have a new SUB* :lennyface:
-butithinkifyouusematteblackwilllookwaybetter-
edit2: in the second line "asterisks" makes a traced sentece...
Great build, keep it up. Learned a lot from you.
I do say even though I'm very late. A box that small for that sub, I'd probably use 2 bass radiator's same size as the sub. Though that's what I've done to a sub this size and it was wonderful. Great job btw :)
wow what a sub. first I was like isn`t this box way too small, but after i dropped the numbers into bass box pro i found out that this sub will play realy good in 40l tuned to 21hz box
That is a supremely better box than the Dayton kit box. Regardless if you have the titanic MKIV or the ultimax, they need a better box than the kit has. Well done.
Judging by the way he held that hacksaw says he doesnt do much hand work or woodwork. Which is probably why, as someone else pointed out, that the video work is so good.
Loved it. Nicely built Homemade Speakers brah!
your DIY videos give me MCM vibes
it looks pretty cool with that kevlar woofer.
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.
YOU NEED TO PLAY SOME DECAFS ON THAT BEAST
also it looks superb, great job mate
If it was in a bigger enclosure it would play decaf no problem but it wouldnt sound as good in that one
Awsome build dude and it has an very awsome bass
I like Ultimax series, i got a 12" in a 52 liter box whit a Earthquake SLAPS 12 passive radiator in my car, its goes deep and what a punch... (Running coils paralel [1Ohm] and 1000WRMS)
I love your creativity bro.. nice job..
How thick is the wood? Great build 🎉
i liked the undercoat more then the final finish ; )
Very nice enclosure, mine seem to always need carpet lol
Good job man like always ...wouldn't imagination how it would sound on full volume
Great, but what's the specs?? How low does it go? Bearing in mind actual subsonic is below 20Hz.
you ever thought about using joiner & biscuits or pocket holes or dowels? what about a air nailer?
Hey, this song is awesome and has very much bass in it : Yellow Claw - Till It Hurts
the sub looks super !!
Somehow you keep forgetting the prints and details on how to make it. Please share those details.
Abinadid Mendez jup and how much to cutt off from the port
Both
Aeroports are really for the high bass try building another box but l ported
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!
If you have a Android phone 📱 then I suggest you to play the songs using ‘Poweramp’ app. You will see the difference. Plz try at least once.
Dude you know what would be dope ..
If you made a center channel speaker with 2 eight inch woofers.. and 1. Six and a half three way speaker in the center..
And then ad a cross over. Run the center speaker on mid frequencies.. with an added l-pad knob to adjust the brightness..
Enjoyed watching !!!!Just a question.... What's the point in measuring 90 degree after the whole box is nailed together and glue is bonded firmly. If you find it not exactly 90 degree how are you going to correct it ???
Secondly, you put in large lumps of ployfill. Did you glue it in??? How do you make shure it doesn't touch voice coils.
3.14min : thats an awesome trick to get a 90 degree angle, thanks
I have the 8 inch version and it is incredible
Super. Definitely it will express great BASS
Wow it’s gerat sound box
Awesome build . I bet it sounds great
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.
May I please have the first soundtrack.......great video by the way

Sounds like can play below 30Hz Dayton Audio really are great for reaching low bass below 40Hz.
about 29hz
One could make it flat to 18 - 20, should the engineering of such a box take place. It is not a bad subwoofer, not a good one either.
can play but the output is not gonna be anything worth a damn unless he does a proper ported design for maximal bandwidth.
BollardSpeaker 26 actually it sounds like crap
It's 55 * the normal speed of sound in there for there will be a crap ton of port noise
Put the fucking plans in the description man, i really want to copy this ...
Just look up those **fucking** plans.
ABlankNam3dKid and where exactly do i look them up
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.
Looks OEM, good work!
i think you should put a bit heavy amp with this driver . well sounds too good watched on Bose acoustics
Great job, I liked it!Must have gotten an excellent bass...
Nice job man! Thoroughly enjoyed this video
love your workshop bro
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.
Not breaking in the sub causes excess excursion due to very high FS. Remark your sources of audiophile data ..
Can you build with max x 10inch dayton subwoofer
Nice video! I luv DIY but i can't afford to buy those tools. It is very expensive in our country.
You are super awesome ... i like what u do ... really awesome
Hello, could you help me choose a crossover for the ND 140 4ohm speakers and the ND-25 tweter? well thank you
I like the sound of the bass and I like the subwoofer sounded
You know if you seal the wood first with glue/water mixture or bondo before the primer it will make it more piano looking.
True! I do this very often when I'm in the shop teaching others.
next time, try to recess the sub into the top plate of wood! it comes out a lot cleaner looking ^^ nice build tho
Recessing almost-2 inches into MDF that's 18mm thick isn't exactly something feasable when you know this sub weight as much as a big human baby.
Nice work bro 💪👍😎...looks awesome keep up the good work and videos coming😊
Jack, man. I just realised your drill bits are as blunt as a butter knife!
what is the name of the first song plz i cant find it 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
You'd do well in sales/ marketing or advertising.
Duude you are making better boxes then walmart :DDD
Great job, bud
thanks for the vid! i'm ordering a dayton ultimax 8" next week for my car. should be able to hit the lows pretty good with slot ported box
Needs more power in my opinion
He barely turned it up, trust 500 watts is plenty
Needs a bigger box...
100 watts is plenty, he probably lives in a house and cares about his neighbours.
bigger isn't always better. Why do you think it needs a bigger box?
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.
Holy 0.25 inch excursion batmen
Nice build!
Ahh shit, Johnny's gotten into the glue again
Which enclosure sounds great aero ported or L ported enclosure for home audio use
So Love bro 😍
How you connect satellite speaker with this and what they watts
Hello. Please tell me which speaker is better to choose for home? home cinema dayton-audio-rss315ho-44-12 vs DAYTON AUDIO UM15-22 Ultimax ? which is more suitable for home?
Doublsmm
Great build!
Hi, can you suggest me as which subwoofer is good, a downfiring one or a regular subwoofer?
Good
Nice job and cute asf 😉
The real question is... How low, how loud and Do you even Decaf on it bro?!
Nice build !!
Is there anything different in equipment built in the UK and equipment built in the states
can you make a guide about how to calculate the must have dimensions for such a sub
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Do a Dayton audio system in your car! I wanna see that i have 2 6.5s and 2 tweeters haven’t hooked them up to my amp or after market radio hoping they sound really good were told they were way better than ds18
Is downside port produce more better sound?
Which amplifier did you use
Nice one, I have a 7.2 Onkyo X-Nr575e and wanna build 7.2 speakers for it. What speakers would you recommend?
I already have JL audio subwoofer speakers x2.(12" 600W) . What can I blend with this? I need a commendation for Vocal or centerpiece, front and back 7.2 surround sound
amazing work
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.
Never seen a grill quite like that before
Could I go to subwoofer place it into floor with the active porch facing up into the room I want to completely invisible maybe put a large metal grate over the face of it
Hi. I am making a computer gaming room and i was wondering if i could use a car sub-in-box subwoofer
Most certainly you can! You'll need to thread carefully on all of your choices however, amplifier, subwoofer, box material, ports - if any, etc. I would be glad to provide you some basic guidance should you keep me posted on your progress. :)
Note, this video does not represent a good tutorial, look at some other comments here of engineers, we all speak the same damn fucking thing!
Space Artisan I'm sorry for the late response. That I you so much for the help but I've decided to go with the Sony MDR-XB950B1 headphones due to my neighbours being extremely close to my house. Have a great day
Awesome Woofer ;-)
Good job bro
Indeed nice design unfortunately you don't provide the plan, dimension and details on how to make it.
