I recently found a place that sells PVC by the foot and from 1/2” - 24” diameter. I would use 12” diameter and install one in each end. Also be sure to calculate the volume of the enclosure based on the specs for your particular subwoofers. So just as an example…. 10” Subwoofer “x” specification sheet calls for a sealed enclosure volume of a range of .65 - .75 cubic feet. So 2 subwoofers would require 1.3 - 1.5 cubic feet. So a 12” PVC cylinder that is 22” long would give you 1.44 cubic feet of volume. That would produce some SERIOUS BASS! Thanks for the comment.

I was looking for a good outdoor waterproof subwoofer and found the same issue with the expense...I've built many boxes so that was not going to work for me. Thanks for your video...the PVC formed the basis for my waterproof speaker build..I already use quite a few Planet Audio amps and speakers so that also sealed the deal for me. I used a little more recessed seating for the speaker 3/4 mdf and covered in abs plastic on both cylinder ends ... will post a video review after and cite you for credit of course!

Bass on the cheap! Gotta love it! I've built a few enclosures out of Sonotube over the years; never tried Sched 40 PVC, though!

I like your b-roll and editing, found it very entertaining

Thank you! Im gonna try this myself!

Good video. This inspired me to build my own. I built two today, but double the length of yours. I'm also gonna put a 2 inch port in the back of each one. They're going to reside in each back floorboard of my vehicle.

Cool. What speaker did you end up using? What “vented enclosure volume” did your speaker call for? Interested to find out. The specifications sheet provided with nearly every subwoofer gives both vented and sealed enclosure specifications for optimal performance. Some also give exact vent measurements for length and diameter of vent tube. I was shooting for compact as possible and the coupler just happened to calculate to the exact volume for sealed enclosure for my particular subwoofer. Thanks for the comment.

Awesome work bro! Just Install passive radiator on the back so you can here allot dipper bass

This is pretty sweet dude, props...

Interesting idea. I was just thinking about a 8" or vetter yet a 10" pvc pipe cut to size so I can install it behind my headlight on my Suzuki M109r and run a pro audio 8"/10" inside. Thanks for posting this.

Hell yeah that’ll work!

Awesome build!!!.

Very cool idea, durable and effective.

Thanks for the idea sir

Sure gonna try it ,thanx

I did this some couple years ago but I did use a 10 inch schedule 40 pvc pipe with a really cheap $20 walmart woofer put it behind my seat of the truck that was a extended cab and let me tell you , everybody that heard the system that I had to 12" in there. I'm going to try to do this again just got my hand on a 12 " pvc pipe.

Hi thanks for sharing your experience,i was thinking just that as a solution and you came just in time i need it! But i was hopping to have a little bit more music time with different types of songs. Also i wanna know if dimensions matters,i mean if the cubic inches are the same but the one is lets say 12" height and more compact length is the sound quality the same?

If you add a big cotton matt it will sound deeper

Small hole 2 - 3 inches wide and attached to that is another pipe with the same inch as the hole that runs half the length of the bass tube plus all of the inside walls covered with some cotton like fibrous stuff... You need to chk other videos to get more clues... and pls share with us your thoughts on this. Best of luck 👍

Waylon Stokes I took your advice and put some pillow padding into the tube. The difference in sharpness is noticeable enough to say its a must. Thanks for the suggestion. I put in about 1/3 of the padding from a standard pillow.

Not sure. Why no one else caught this.. But the radius is not 8 inch. That's the diameter. The radius is half. Which would be 4in.. u then take 4² x Pi, Then multiply that by the height and that's how you get volume. I only know this from calculating port area on speaker boxes as well as using Radius times Pi to calculate subwoofer cone area... Point is, the volume of that is about a quarter of what that speaker needs....just saying.

i want to put a bass tube in my car an 8 inch sub woofer i like my sound and bass to only be in the car i'm not trying to be heard and seen and having everything rattling i don't like that shit. i want some that's not going to take up too much space and does the bass tube comes with an amp built inside so i don't have to buy a amp to run my bass? i have 4 speakers two 6x8's and two 6x9's so i need a 4 channel amp to run them and the bass tube have it's own amp and all i need is somebody to install everything right

E vazkee most subwoofers come with detailed cabinet dimensions regarding optimal volume or size measurements for a ported and/or a sealed enclosure. Once you pick out your speaker look at those numbers. Then, decide if you still want to put a port in your tube. Let me know how it turns out.

Please dont get me wrong, I had this vague idea put the speaker into a pipe , never knew about the 8'' coupler would solve the Budget Woofer, Dhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaattttttttttttttt eeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzzz ffffffffffffffffffffeeeeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnntttttttttaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssssssssssssttttttttttttttttttttttttttttiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiicccccccccccccccccccc , mate .

You made a mistake on the calculation the radius is half the diameter. So the tube needs to be twice as long.

try passive radiator on other side.

@audiogman5865

5 жыл бұрын

In order to use a passive radiator you must first design the enclosure as if it was to be a ported design because passive radiators exhibit the same characteristics as a ported design. Then you have to select the right radiator and then tune it to the same frequency as if it was a port by adding or subtracting weight to the radiator diaphragm to achieve the correct resonant frequency. It’s not just a matter of sticking a passive radiator on the other end. There’s a science to it.

Isn't too small?? Does PVC gives a good bass??

@JasonWW2000

8 ай бұрын

You need to measure the air volume and compare it to what the speaker maker suggests. Also subtract for the air that the speaker displaces. It doesn't have to be exact, just close in size.

These comments kill me. "You did everything wrong! Nice video "... I think it's ingenuity & exactly what I'm going to do. Except in wood. With different dimensions. And a port. And 2-15" speakers.

PVC coupler Purchased at Home Depot www.homedepot.com/p/DURA-8-in-Schedule-40-PVC-Coupling-SxS-429-080/203218411

TLDR Spec sealed enclosure = 680 in3 PVC enclosure built ~ 490 in3 If you build a box smaller that manufacture spec, the sound will not be as loud as designed, and will start to distort at a lower power. Mistake #1 - Volume of the enclosure You calculated the volume of the EXTERNAL dimensions of the enclosure. External dimensions of the ideal sealed box = 18.5" x 5.5" x 11.5" equals 1170.125 in3 Internal dimensions of the ideal sealed box using 3/4" MDF = 17" x 4" x 10" equals 680 in3 (this is the volume to match) Mistake #2 - Volume of the coupler You calculated the volume of the PVC incorrectly. You did r (radius) 8" and h (height) 5.75" equals 1156.11 in3 .. this is just completely wrong Radius of a circle is 1/2 of the diameter. So in this case you need to measure the internal diameter of the coupler. Actual r (radius) 4.3125" and height of 8.4" equals 490.78 in3 Assumptions 8in Subwoofer Planet Audio AC8D www.planetaudio.com/product/car-audio-sound-system-auto-stereo-dual-voice-coil-subwoofer-planet-audio-ac8d/ Subwoofer Manual www.carid.com/images/planet-audio/subwoofers/pdf/ac8d-users-manual.pdf 8in PVC sch40 Coupler - $17 www.homedepot.com/p/DURA-8-in-Schedule-40-PVC-Coupling-SxS-429-080/203218411 Length listed on the link above is 8.4" PVC Pipe sch40 8" = Diameter of 8.625" (this pipe should slide into any 8in coupler)
