Cheap subs, big power!

In this video I try to rescue a ruined project. I botched the unicorn spit on this subwoofer box and had to switch over to plan B for these Massive Audio TKO subwoofers. Hopefully I learn from my mistakes and can do a better job of applying oil based poly on the next project.

Glad you are humble enough to both admit your mistakes & to learn from them. Good lessons here folks pay attention.

People dont realize whats cheap today was basically common place in what you found at Best Buy or Circuit City pre year 2000 and for a hell of alot more money! You honestly dont want behemoth stacked magnet subs if your working with stock electrical either. If I gave my sub $100 single audiopipe 15" its max rated power, im already pushing what my alternator can handle.

Nice! I ran Massive CW 12's back in 05. I loved those subs. I'm sure these sound great for the price. Btw your boxes look great as always. I love the red on black!

Get a clicker or a snapple lid to make a pop or snap sound, then import all the audio tracks with the video. The crack pop snap works as a good sharp point to align the clips

I've noticed the same problem with those crimpers too. I do use it like you did in the video

Been down with covid, but wake up to a vid from my favorite car audio channel. Awesome 👌 👏 👍 BTW, those subs are truly MASSIVE, it says so right on em 😂😅

Love the two tone look honestly, though I could never figure out carpeting boxes 😅

[hooptastic_hippie]

Crazy..ive been wanting to make a box almost just like this..just with a different designed front face..but same black and red colors...this couldn't have came at a better time

Recently I built a 90liter box tuned to like 24hz, decided to throw in 2 8s because the winisd graph looked promising and it delivers.

Very windy with about 80w per sub. The subs are rated at 100w RMS. It sadly cant float a bag, but it does move the bag and hair well.

You do an amazing job on these videos. Extremely informative and accurate.

Great video, I design rear loaded horn enclosures if you ever do a video on rear loaded horn I'll be more than happy to help you design one.

Back in the early 2000's, when I was in my late teens / early 20s, I had a Ford Escort hatchback that I installed a pair of 12" Rockford Fosgate Punch subs in a bandpass box, along with a good Fosgate amp. That thing hit so hard that it literally rattled your eyeballs, making everything look extremely blurry! Had to keep it turned down while driving just so I could see where I was going 😂

Great informative video. Thanks for sharing

You should have used some water with the unicorn spit. Lol

[The_Endo]

0:15 hahaha, sudoobed! I got you again!

[lsohweldfab]

Spend the extra dollar and get Torqs screws instead of Phillips
FAR less likely to make an oops and slip punching a hole in the speaker

[bobdodge]

How do you get your circles? Router jig? Or draw..and router carefully?
Also after you drill the pilot holes do you vacuum the box?

[drecrawford]

Anything sold at a flea market is budget car audio gear.

[dippitydoinit]

You mentioned that this was a budget build many times but you never broke down how much the total cost was.

[hopskustomaudio]

What is the brand of spray adhesive that you use?
