Then, you can install speakers of your choice inside the boxes you buy. To get you started, here are a few online ready-made subwoofers for automobiles:. These subwoofer speaker enclosures by Atrend are constructed with careful attention to detail.
You can get two options — the single vented or dual vented ones, to suit the available space you have. The enclosure design optimizes the bass response and attenuates low frequencies to create the ultimate subwoofer effect. Although air moves freely to and from the box, the air vent is tuned to the required frequency range. As a result, you get a considerable bass boost. This subwoofer box is made of precision-cut MDF and joined with liquid nails, which ensures complete sealing. The finishing touch is the high-quality carpeting that encloses the entire subwoofer box.
The spring-loaded terminal cups provide sound cable connections. The dimensions are such that the subwoofer box fits snugly into the allocated space in your vehicle. If you are looking for the added punch from a single subwoofer box, this one from Q Power may be what you are looking for.
The construction is robust, but this subwoofer is best used in a larger vehicle rather than a four-door sedan. You would do well to do a bit of fine-tuning by adding an extra piece of wood if you get reasonably satisfactory results out of the box. That way, you can get optimize the bass response of this subwoofer box. European Beech Ply is very strong and ridiculously expensive. The guy at the wood shop recommended it over Birch for strength.
Seems like I remember birch plywood enclosures having a different sound. Of course that was years ago and I may have been just imagining things. I wouldn't mind doing a comparison test just to see if I am remembering things right. Compare MDF or birch to a concrete speaker enclosure and I imagine one could tell the difference.
Another thing we did that we thought made boxes sound better was paint the inside of the box. Any old paint would do. Years later I told a friend about that "concept" and he thought I was crazy.
He had worked at higher end shops than I had and built many nice enclosures. The next enclosure he built he painted the inside. He said the box sounded awesome and was convinced that the paint made a difference. Of course, no blind test so at that point everthing is subjective. Lots of beer was drank in those days, though, so it may have had something to do with our perception.
Painting it wouldn't be any different than fiberglass resin. It's going to act as a sealant and possibly make enclosure walls a little "smoother" for air flow transfer. MIGHT be measurable on a microphone but I seriously doubt the difference would be significant enough to be audible, unless the enclosure was poorly sealed to start with.
Years back a team and I built 4 identical enclosures 2 where birch and 2 where mdf. For testing we used the same drivers and power in the same car in the same location inside the vehicle taped off. Power was the same clamped va power. Both the plain unresin enclosures had the exact same score.
The resined enclosures where indecisive same score or. Fuck the price tag, but just curious if it's a simple as make the box solid and sealed and you're good to go. Not if you use 1" thick material and the box isn't too big Price and assembly becomes prohibitive, though In all honesty, you're not going to notice much difference between any types of wood as long as you're not using particle board or cheap plywood with a lot of voids.
The weight differences are huge, though. I used the Home Depot 5 ply birch and I love it. Generally, that means either dense plywood birch ply is good or MDF fiberboard.
Is a ported box louder than sealed? These types of enclosures, when built with the properly calculated volume and tuned to the correct frequency for the subwoofer, are generally louder than a sealed enclosure.
How thick should a subwoofer box be? Enclosures should be built with very dense and heavy wood. We recommend MDF medium density fiberboard or Medite high density fiberboard , They are rigid, heavy and not porous like some particle boards. How do I get more bass out of my subwoofer? The basic steps in tuning a car audio system with a subwoofer amp are: Turn the subwoofer amp gain all the way down, turn the low-pass filter all the way up, and turn the bass boost off.
Turn the head unit on and set all of the tone controls to their middle settings. What screws should I use for my subwoofer? The type of screw that should be used in subwoofer applications is a drywall screw. These screws are rugged and have a desirable shape for holding a subwoofer to a subwoofer box. Other screws may have inadequate threading which could cause the subwoofer to fall out of the subwoofer box. Send a private message to kvk. Find More Posts by kvk.
