Don't let anyone lie to you. These type of boxes are a pain in the a**! there is NO second chances and the sheets are almost $700 each. 1" Acrylic is no joke, that is the best way i can put it. So far so good though. I still have plenty of time to ruin it though! Wish me luck! Check back when i peel the paper back and bond everything together soon! Thanks for watching!

About my subs (visit www.b2audio.com... for more info)
RAMPAGE XM
2012 had the seeds planted for the RAMPAGE. A direct derivate from the legendary & innovative X2C subwoofer with a 5″ voice coil. Although the RAMPAGE XM is based on a 4″ coil platform, its performance will not stand in the shade of its heritage. In many ways, it pushes the boundaries even further. The new basket offers better cooling with improved SAFT (Smooth Air Flow Tech) & has the ability of offering even more XMAX than the previous basket . 3.15″/ 80 mm peak to peak handled by the 315 mm / 12.4″ spiders , that are amongst the largest you will find on any traditional 15″ subwoofer (without the use of adapters), in addition the new basket offers a triple landing so you can customize the stiffness and spider size to your application.
OCAF
OCAF version II (Optimized Cooling And Flow) implemented in the new motor design has adapted the large flares from the X2C’s backplate. In addition the pole piece features a dual cooling system that leads the air more efficiently away from the voice coil. Even though the internal diameter of the coil is 4″, the outer diameter of 4.33″ makes this coil a widebody, coupled with an 8 layer tall winding, this design is made for daily abuse or demo days!
The RAMPAGE XM’s motor keeps the same 10.24″ diameter as previous XM subwoofers, but the triple stack ferrite slugs are increased by 25%. Still we are able to keep the entire height of the motor to a mere 10% more than 2nd gen XM. With the longer Xmech, the added 10% comes into play.
Stiffness
Another tool was made for the XL composite dustcaps with embossed B2 logo. The half spherical design with wider wedges stiffens up the cone, offering greater stability, and helps keep that transient response tight. So when the bass drops its on point. Using a slightly wider strech foam surround there’s less mechanical parts that will limit your stroke.

Don't let anyone lie to you. These type of boxes are a pain in the ass! there is NO second chances (like wood) and these sheets are almost $700 each. You make even a small mistake and it's curtains...time to start over. 1" Acrylic is no joke, that is the best way i can put it. So far so good though. I still have plenty of time to ruin it though! Wish me luck! Check back when i peel the paper back and bond everything together soon!

Hello
My name is zy
@@texasminibikes1203 wussup Zy! :)
Yea its a very unforgiving material to work with but man is the end result worth it or what very nice work brother digging the drill bit tips forsure
Holy cow! That box cost more than my whole setup!
Mf greatness, almost every time. Informative for the rest. A true legend in the game.
Gifted
Absolutely
Holy moly roly-poly Oli
No doubt
One of my main inspirations for perfect car audio started with Steve Meade
I was a Pro stereo installer back in the 90s but switched career tracks. Recently I dipped my toes back in by installing my old ass vintage gear (Adcom/PPI) in my Honda dad car. Man I feel the itch coming back! That's how I ended up here. I think this is channel is gonna suck me back in and my money back out!!
The S.M.M.!!! The Steve Meade Machine! The Build Monster!!! KILLIN' IT!!!!!
Meade builds box in one vid
Soundman builds box in one year
Coming from a Danish family, i just love seeing how B2 is so proud to flaunt the Danish flag on their gear! Its a trip how many quality brands come from Dk: Dynaudio, Scanspeak, SB Acoustics, B2..
Killer project as Usual from SMD!
One day I hope to meet Steve. He is the reason I'm a basshead. Been following him for almost 20yrs. He is the Godfather of bass. Maybe I'll get an autograph sometime. Keep being the best there is Steve.
This man has a genius mix of passion, creativity, craftsmanship and dedication. SMD has a true fan here in Arkansas!
Wat part I live in northern Arkansas
@@Madmoney262 I live in Pine Bluff, south of Little Rock
This is the most insane most killer most tremendous subwoofer enclosure I’ve ever seen wow just wow man 👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 big homie SMD killed it
I've been using masking tape for years as a depth guage in the woodshop for year but never thought to use heat shrink! Thanks for the tip!
It would be an absolute honor and a pleasure to have a steve Meade plexi sub box in my trunk.
Looking right and going to sound tight. Love how a solid acrylic box sounds 👍🏽
That box looks like a piece of art.
1" acrylic ain't no joke! This was a fun video to watch.
All those CNC tables bring back old memories of air hockey tables
On the cut edges of the acryllic, use a torch on the edges, they get more translucent, wont hide bubbles, but will be amazing looking!! Took me 3 years to perfect.....
LMAO 🤦
This the 1st & 1 of 1 B2 Audio builds Ever.. B.I.G Salutes 2U SMD 4LIFE ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Pure skill. Plain and simple.
YOUR BUILT IS COMING TO LIFE
Man this is awesome! I wanted to build a plexiglass box 20 years ago when I was much younger, but after looking up the cost of plexiglass / acrylic, knew it was never going to happen. Obviously I've seen boxes made out of this going many years back (before anyone says it's already been done, I know), just wanted to build a box out of it as I enjoyed building boxes, and a custom acrylic would have been sweet. Can't wait to see the progress on this one!
The sickest slickest box yet
Incredible work sir, it's going to be great!
Man steve your craftsmanship is on a alien type level beautiful
The 31 thumbs down must have Walmart prefabs lol excellent job Bro!
Bet them final touchings will be some LEDs in that box😍
The logo bracing was a very nice touch, so sick.
Another solid build by the one and only Steve Meade . Nice work Steve and crew.
U still amaze me every video. The attention to detail is awesome. Creativity at its finest
That box is gonna be insane when done. I cant wait to see it finished.
Love your videos they are getting me through these hard times. Just lost my dog on Friday. Only thing that's keeping my mind off it. Thanks man
RIP to your pup bro. :( I am a bigtime dog lover here and we have lots of fur babies. I understand your pain. Take care.
It's so badass I can't wait to see it done. Love it
All I cud say is wow this box is a killer it looks strong with all the screws n the built well I kno its ganna be bumping!!💯
It’s fun to see how successful he is with his branding but still keeping in mind how expensive this shit is, but this is gonna be awesome
Looking great brother cant wait....
Okay, I asked on instagram if that port area was a little small but seeing it in the video it's a lot bigger than it looked in pictures. Very nice!
It goes without saying that Steve is a badass when it comes to this. I wanna know, am I the only one who loves it when he peels the protective paper?! Like popping bubble wrap, it's like therapy. 😆
badass digital calipers man... holy crap, I was looking for bigger ones for my shop... those are awesome.
That's what I said lol
WTG STEVE!!!! Still Killin it. Your work is always awesome!
Inspiring us all over the world.
Your caddy is going to sound awesome and bump awesome
Any idea how much SPL score those 6 B2s will make in that box ? That box is jaw dropping amazing even with the paper on it ! Can’t wait to see more !
Hands down the best of the best 💯
The absolute god of car audio right here. Nice work !
Looks amazing! But with the vibrations the only problem i see is the screw holes cracking.
they won't crack. So no need to worry. lol
Even on 1" thick with 6 12" u dont think it will crack the screw holes ..even around the subs?
@@shawnsmith4463 nope. If i did, do you think i would be doing it?
@@meade916 100% agree with u...i absolutely love your work and cantt wait to see final 😍
Awesome work as always, my hands hurt just watching this video. Much love from the Oregon Coast.
I broke a sweat watching this! Damn that was a lot of heavy work
This is a first for me!!! 1 inch plexiglass box build🤩🤯😎🔥🔥🔥💯👏🏼👏🏼🙌🏼💪💪👌
very nice job and forward planning
looks awesome cant wait to see the finished product.....
A Steve that box gon be badazz once it's all the way finished fr fr
That box is SICK!!! I bet it'll look amazing with the subs installed and some neons to light it up
LED's bro LED's. ;)
Oh ya. Thats what I ment to say. Im actually in the process of making my own led strip with U.V. 3528 leds, but im not 100% sure what size resistors to get and if ill need anything else.
Wow 🤩 I have always wanted to do one of these... cannot wait to see the finish line on this project! Awesome work 👍🏼
Can’t wait to see the end results!!! 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Wow that's amazing awesome video
Ive been waiting for this video😂🙌🏻 badass build steve cant wait to see what the end result is, and cant wait to hear it💯
Top notch work as usual! I love plexi boxes, can't wait for the finished install.
That box is gona be sick dude. I think it would look cool wrapped in carbon fiber with some cutouts that let light show from inside the box too. Either way it's gona be dope af
Nah. Leave it the way it is. Different. When he puts lights on it. Gonna be awesome. Nobody has anything close to that. One of a kind
@@nickwalston1322 I agree leave that one the way he plans on doing it. The carbon is just something I personally think would be sweet
That’s gotta be the biggest set of calipers I’ve ever seen.
i just got them haha! thanks
I love the way WD40 smells in the morning🤪
Smells better than PB blaster lol
@@danielcarter7657 Its a play on a quote from the movie Apocalypse Now, "I love the way napalm smells in the morning".
@@BurningDownUrHouse hell yeah 😎👌
This is next level dopeness!
Can't wait to see the finished box.
This build is absolute 🔥🔥🔥
At this point, can a person really even just call it a speaker box? If we're being honest, it's a work of art at this point. This man has mastered his trade and it shows.
"Amazing $2500 Gately Audio Plexi Subwoofer Box!! [4K]" look it up. makes this one look like it was put together by amateurs.
@@crisnmaryfam7344 That Gately box is 1/3 size compared to this at best. Actually was the first acrylic vid I watched. Gately box was cool for the signature scribbles. Cool way to personalize it. This is Thanos. Gately is Spidey.
Your attention to detail is A1 🔥🔥🔥
Bruh u truly r an artist in the audio industry
Those subs hit soooo hard in person
Ikr man I love my b2 rampage 12 I had about 6 other subs to try out over 3 years and I can't wait to get another one to complete setup
Meade over there killing it while innovating the car audio game... legend!!💪💪🤘🤑
That Terminal X2 is Fookin beautiful
I can't wait till this builds done its gonna bang so damn hard!!🔊🔊🔊🔊📢

Would be interesting to see the B2 logo panels running a different color LED than the rest of the box.
