So glad you are tackling a downfiring box! I can't wait to see your review of the sound produced by this box and I'm really looking forward to this series. Especially the ported down firing box! THANK YOU!

My employer had a 2 10 alpine type r down firing box made for the back of a 2016 tahoe for his son with 2 kicker amps and i had 2 8 inch rockforsd banging harder in a small bass box. It sucked pretty bad and i couldn't believe it. Its like it cancels the sound out since its just bouncing up and down and trapped.

Good job putting a new look on an old style! Had a down facing box for 2 12" about 20 years ago!

Nice box as always Mark. I just finished a 4 cubic foot, sealed downfire wedge box for my truck. I put 2 HCCA 12's in it.

Just a great video showing DIYers new products and how to use them. With REAL WORLD skills and tools! Thanks Mark. You keep KZread a great place to LEARN from sir.

Can you show us a vid of the performance of that box?

I'm convinced that people who can do this "off the cuff" have a gift that not everyone has (including me). I can follow plans without issue, but even after years of watching people create stuff from their head into the real world, I just don't see how it all "works" or fits together until it's done.

I like the idea of the pre made corners looks like a better way to do it instead of kerfing. Thank you Mark for showing these to us.😎

Wow, you really are skilled and knowledgeable in a few areas of car audio. Cant wait for part 2 bud and keep em coming.

Looks great man. I enjoy your eye for detail.

Man, you have come a long way from the “jigsaw on a sting on the trash can in the driveway” days. It’s been a honor watching you grow. Salute

Thanks for being a part of the journey!

Did this for 4 8s, absolutely love it

Man I cant wait tell I get a garage and can start practicing. Love your videos and I save everyone

Oh man... The stacked corners are brilliant! Why didn't I think of that... Oh yeah.. I'm lacking brilliance 😂

Cooking a dope box in the fab kitchen. Nice box build.

You are a true artist Sir, Well done!

Those corners are great. As easy as those are to put together I think I found a design for a custom box that I will eventually put in my Fiesta.

Exactly what I need for my build thanks

Great job as always! Look for details to envy!

Dude I love your videos. I have been watching you for quite a while and I just want to say thank you 🙏 I am learning from you and getting better. Lot of people asking me how did you do this and that? I am always laughing because i got the idea from you 😂

bad ass! This is a great style of box too. I'm brainstorming different ideas for a single 12 for the back of my SUV

why a single. if you can do double :-)

Nice build! Love your attention to detail. Is there any difference if the speakers fire down at an angle vs straight down? Like an upside down wedge vs rectangular box. Been playing around with an idea in my head but don't want to waste wood experimenting.

man, that looks awesome. the only thing i would change is the corner pieces could've been rounded off on the top and bottom edges.

Beautiful work!

Great work. You make it look so easy

Lookin professional and sweet! Nice!

Great video keep bringing that bass.

What if I whant to purchase that subbox that you made, already done?

I love art. If Howard Hughes was into sound systems, he'd love it too.🍻

Is there any benefit of downfiring apart from usable space over the sub?

Uuugh I struggle at setting up an audio system... You make it look so easy every time. But im so unsure about all the wiring and electronic components and if I even need it for what I want (well I can't really afford it anyways)

Oh my God that thing is beautiful I'm looking to buy like a 2014 Ridgeline and want to put a system in it and I know there's not a lot of space is there anything out there for under the seat

As always, well done!

Can you make a down firing sub woofer box for a 2017 Chevy Colorado? I need some Bass and looking for a good box and woofers to add, as well as an amp. Thank you.

Nice enclosure Mark!!

Puts things on top of box. Bass shakes them all off.

Is this a customer vehicle? I thought you may have mentioned that. Or is it a project you are working on off your own? You sure are putting some good detail in craftsmanship.

Awesome design, I will be building this for my truck. One question though, where can you go and get the jig to make the corners round. Awesome job

Very cool enclosure 🤩! I’m still waiting patiently for the blooper reels lol.

Can we get the plans for the box? I want to do two low profile 10s in the back of my jeep wrangler

Hi with a down firing box dose the relation of the front face of the sub and the ground face have a relation to how the sub plays as if it were close and the sound exit holes on the sides were small the air would be restricted leaving the there for add a tuning dimension to the design of the box .....?, another really informative video by the way ......😊

Awesome as always

Reminds me of some Impact subs from way back that were designed to be down firing. Nice build!

@@PGeoffLenoir The sub boxes actually came with mounting brackets to hold the sub enclosure off the floor. I get what you're saying. Sub bass being nondirectional and all. 😇😎😀

Awsome box, love ur videos

Do you have plans available for this box?

I have a F150 and the rear of the box would need to be about 5" sloped lower than the front. How would you go about making this box with the slope?

what was the internal volume of that box when you were done?

Damn Master of the router table.

Very nice build

Can you make a box like that for a 2014 Tacoma double cab and how much would it cost?

Dope ass work brother.

i have been running down fireing boxes sence 2003 the thing is you tend to need more power i whould go no les then 800 (REAL) watts per speaker go with a nice big Zapco and some Memphis Mojo speakers...

Can I down fire two 8" sundown under the back seat of a 2013 F150

How much would you charge for a custom box for a 99 Toyota Corolla. Cant find any that fit for 12 in subs

Reformulated question: Would it be possible to add a mini tweeter to a 2.0-channel soundbar via serial connection, turning it into a 3.0 channel soundbar to get a better sound clarity (clear and crisp dialogues)?

What program do you use to make your box shape and find out what the cubic feet is ?

Crazy you literally have like 5 Tables setup instead of switching the router bit. Sick setup. I’ve been putting off buy a router table because they are so dam expensive… I’m just going to bite the bullet!

Soundman is just jealous that you do in one video which takes him 30. He makes fun of you a lot but you're a better installer and have more subscribers. Keep up the good work brother

How much would you charge for that box with 2 /8" sub

Cool 4th order bandpass bro.

I need to make something like this . But I am missing tools. I need a router. I have a MPCNC but it would take days to cut all of that..

What’s the clearance in the gap between the floor and the baffle/subwoofer. I have a sealed JL 10” W1v3 in a regular sealed box and thinking of converting it to a downfiring box, but I don’t know how much to raise the baffle from the floor.

Nice job. How do you wiring the second subwoofer? reverse or direct polarity?

Do you think threaded inserts are better for downfiring heavy subs vs t-nuts?

How much airspace was in this box? I am thinking about building a box for under the rear seat of my 2015 crew cab GMC Sierra

Nice , like always great work

I think you do incredible work what town are you located?

How much for a downward firing box got a s30 260z?

fun video. but like i have requested before, could you create a rear shelf/parcel subwoofer installation video. why? because sedans are now leading towards having rear deck subs and we all want to know how to put larger/better subs in the same location the oem comes with. i currently have the worst one, audi s3 sedan 2015. it has a weird shape for the hole. also what the is best way to keep the trunk space? free air/ IB subs?

@mrupholsteryman

I remember years ago...they had these devices where you attached a 12 inch sub to a funnel that opened to the size of a 6x9 opening. I forgot what these things were called. They had a slight angle to them... Think like an elbow macaroni shape with a 6x9 opening on one end a flange that allowed a 12 inch sub on the other end. If you're handy....you may be able to make your own. The funnel in essence turned the airspace in the entire trunk as the sub enclosure. (Free air sorta) Now I don't know what the factory opening is for your application...but it may allow you to be creative and push more air than your factory sub does...but through the same hole and keep it stealth. Maybe a lot lighter than an entire box as well. Better mpg?

What is the software used to model the box ? Or what are some other good ones that anyone knows of, preferably on the free side lol.

What are the dimensions of that box really love it.

Effing dope is what it is!!!

Did I miss the specs on this biuld? How did you come up with the distance between floor and subs?

I wonder if a box like this can be built for 4 8 inch subs

down firing and up firing...which one produce better bass sound

Mark, thanks for your educational videos. I was a subscriber to sound man Doug's channel but he has offended me one too many times with his joke about transgender people. Thank you for being business only and not going after certain groups of people. I've been doing car audio since 89 and it's full of people from all walks of life. We should stay connected through this hobby and not offend others for something they don't choose.

Can you post a link to those Corner Jigs.

What modeling software are you using?

What is the cubic area of that box? I built something very similar for my car (a bmw e39 sedan) and hung it in the trunk. I just want to compare yours to mine as mine is 1 cubic foot (1/2 a cubic foot per sub). It puts out great bass, however I am wondering if I could improve it. Currently it fires downward into the trunk space, and thus is not moving the same “air” that’s in the cabin of my car. When I fold my rear seats down, the speakers put out a much “punchier” and deeper sound, though it’s still impressive when the seats are closed off and has the tendency to shake my steering wheel/seat a little bit. I am thinking about flipping the enclosure over and cutting out 10inch holes underneath the rear deck of the car (there are two 5 inch holes from the stock box from bmw, but the top of my new box covers the hole since it’s mounted to the top). If the box is flipped over, in order to keep trunk space my subs wouldn’t be much farther than 3/4inch from the holes I would cut in the rear deck. Sorry for the long post, but I’m wondering if it might be worth going through all the effort to re-mount my box and cut holes into my car to get better sound/response from my subs. Thanks and great video!

Nice!

Mark, im building a ported sub box for 2 12's they are gonna see around 1000 watts rms each, would it help if i attach some pcs of egg shape cell foam on the inside of the sub box??.

Use double stick tape and try with, without. My guess would be not much different for lower frequencies. : if the port will be rectangular also try just the sharp corners.

awesome enclosure, what about adding some polyfill?

If you want to wire them for stereo (left/right), you separate them. If mono, they can share.

If one of the drivers fails then the remaining one has suddenly twice of room and this may doom the second one too (in worst cases).

Which software are you using?

I'm gonna subscribe but I wanna see more of your shop set up like do a full 1hr walk through? And tell us why you have things the way they are set up please and thank you.

Wouldn't that type of configuration be like a 4th order bandpass, with the second chamber below the woofers and the vents being the openings?

Any chance of getting that enclosure schematic from you?
