Sound Quality BASS! Ported Subwoofer Box Build - 13W7AE

I recently acquired a JL Audio 13W7 subwoofer. My goal is to use this subwoofer to produce quality bass with substantial output so for this build we are using a custom ported subwoofer box. This vented sub enclosure will allow us to achieve incredible levels of low frequency bass. Join as we go through the custom fabrication process for building this subwoofer box!

Going Old School with the jigsaw and the trashcan for the rough cuts!!! I remember when the trashcan was basically your workbench.

[stephendverner]

Building my second enclosure now. First dual subwoofer enclosure - center slotted.

I love watching you build and design. Learned so much from your channel. Jealous of the tools you have lol, but you are seriously an artist and a craftsman.

I love love how you balance the look and precision of everything with the functionality and performance.

You truly take car audio to a whole new level of artistry.

Great video. All your enclosures have such a professional look even when they're unfinished

[DarrenTdd]

Loved it, Mark, awesome vid. I wasn't ready for this video to end. 🤘👍

[DJtheChemist]

Been in this game for a time and it's nice to see someone include all the little details in their builds that really separate your backyard builder or cheap manufacturer builds. Explaining the air oscillation over the rounded parts and through the brace/port is awesome to see. Been preaching this to friends for decades and so many of them just roll their eyes lol

[KrucialBarz]

You are amazing as always. I have been watching your videos for a while now, they are always so educational and valuable. I have been doing very minor car audio work for myself and friends for well over 10 years, I have never built an enclosure though until recently, my Kicker L7S15 blew out the screw holes in the box. The enclosure was very poorly made with particle board, they built it almost to spec but not the best. I have been watching you video a lot lately and have started my build with confidence thanks to you. I am so excited with how it is going especially for my first enclosure.

Sick build Mark 👍🏼 The Box I had you design for my w6 was incredible, it was daily for three years!

[doctersound]

They don’t make people like you very often. Most people are all about $ and greed over quality. Thank you for doing this the correct way. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻 Well done.

[Domaudeo]

It's been a while since we've seen you building an enclosure from scratch... it seems so easy when you have the talent and the right tools.

[tammyforbes]

I’m gonna have to build a ported box myself I like the factory sealed it’s nice but ported will get me right where I want to be! I got tons of room no problem doing a bigger box. I think I’m gonna go slightly over like you did! Makes it more efficient to just gotta watch the gain and subsonic not over throw it tear or break something!

[SilentShadow-ssxp]

I know it's probably a lot to ask but can you make a video one day where you go through the entire process from measuring trunk space to final install of a sub? I know you've done many videos in parts but I always feel like I'm missing something. I'm about to build my own sub box for a sundown x v3 12 inch and I think my box is rather meh in design. I think it will work fine and I've double checked everything twice but I'm still not confident it will be a great box for that sub. That being said your videos are a great resource for anyone interested in car audio and I'm glad we have them here to watch.

[jeremycole]

Hi Mark, I enjoy watching your videos. It sure would be nice to see some fresh videos.

For example, how to set up an amplifier that is oversized for the load. A 500w rms sub and an 800w+ rms amp.

Or tips on determining the crossover points when using 6 1/2” mids, tweeters, and 8” in the front doors along with one 10” or 12” sub in the rear.

Or tips on incorporating a subwoofer enclosure into a custom center console.

[MattyDaddy]

This is exactly what I have been searching for to add a sub to 2019 300S!! I wanted 15” performance but only have room for a 12” with space to spare! Now I just gotta save up for this monster. But I really really dream of owning this exact box for it!! Maybe without the extra detail but def the thicker flush mount baffle front! Please make and sell these if you can! 🎉

[NAStheNomad]

Good work and great videos. Thanks for sharing 👍🏼

[fazalsubhan]

Good Work And Best Quality JL Subwoofer

[MrTimmyGT]

Been wanting to put a ported box in my car for a while now, I think I'm going to follow along and get the same sub

[AngelGarcia_]

I do recommend his blueprints for sub designs. 45s bracing and double baffling. My box/fi team 12 impresses the biggest systems. Flexes everythung in sight.

Ill be purchasing another blueprint for dual 12 teams. Always want to go bigger

[Lymeng]

Mark deserves way more credit that those other audio guys. Much respect

[precisioninc]

I'm building a new enclosure for mine. 2 cu sealed. It sounds very boring, but I am going to make mine in a U shape and invert the sub. I plan on isolating the trunk from the cab, using the sub box as the main isolating wall. The sub basket open behind my rear folding seats. The other side is acrylic, so you can see the W7 face inside the enclosure when you open the trunk.

[PaulO-zrzh]

Great design 👌 looking forward to see completion. Do you build and ship boxes by any chance?
