Every Hexibase video is a joy to see appear in notifications

I am still to this days years later amazed at your skills. You sir do quality work and make some of the best videos around! Wish you did design tutorial videos more on using software to create boxes I need lessons from you.

I love it. Been designing ol' skool radios like this for years. I started with "bassbox by harris tech" for enclosure designs. Now i use software dsp and class d amps to pop it like the kids new age bluetooth speakers. Keep up the good work!

You are freaking amazing! I used to think I was smart until I started watching your KZread channel lol.

CNC is awesome tech, but the size restrictions, speed limitations and learning curve means there will likely never be one in my shop. The freedom, scale and speed offered by a simple set of power tools (table saw, miter saw, circular saw with track attachment, router and sander) and comparatively less experience and expertise will have CNCs beat for a long time to come. That being said, this is a gorgeous build and it sounds absolutely stellar. It's a beautiful example of just how far this tech has come in the last decade, and while said tech isn't for me, I do look forward to seeing how it continues to develop over the next ten years. :D

@@HexiBase There's some amazing 3D scanning software out there, and I feel like if someone was to combine that with freeform digital sculpting and put it into a format that CNCs could deal with, there would be a HUGE leap in the arena. Just imagine seeing a shape somewhere that you really like, whip out your phone and scan it, maybe with a little reference card in frame for the software to calibrate off of, and being able to integrate that shape into a design in minutes.

@@rhkips FYI, your dream is already reality. The answer is Rhino 3D. It has an interface much like AutoCad, and it specializes in free form surface modeling. It can output STL files, which works for any 3D printer. You can also make exact replicas of objects by 3D scanning. That part is less trivial, but there are ways to do it. (I paid a company to 3D scan a design I sculpted, and I finished the design in CAD. But it is taking more than a few minutes!)

Yeah you could probably do this enclosure using just front and back cutting and a piece of flexible plywood with bracing batons. I do like layered enclosures for the ease of complex shapes - folded horns and the like, without having to glue a bunch of angled panels and hope it's airtight. You can just stack layers and they fit flush, and if you are really adventurous, change the layer profile for dome type enclosures, or just fit the profile of back seating and wheel wells in a car boot.

I'm listening to your speakers using the same speakers, sealed box tho. I really like the wide dispersion BMR gives.

Impressive! Every part of the build along with the final product. I am in awe!

Every one of your creations sound amazing. Love the range from such small drivers. Keep up the awesome content. Thanks HexiBase.

Love your work! I really enjoy watching how you methodically blend form and function so uniquely into each build with your grand wizard level acoustic genius. Cheers from Texas!

what a great machine, def useful for people with limited space.

Another Amazing video and project build from HexiBase. Love how detailed you explain things. Wish I had some of your knowledge.

Beautiful design. I love the retro look. Looking forward to your next post 👍

This is amazing. Good job. I totally missed this video, but Im so glad I found it!

Cool to get Sophie's opinion during testing -- another useful data point that actually translates over KZread! Not that I would have expected any less of a result from one of your projects. Somewhere in storage, I have my Granddad's large, credenza-style tube hi-fi, replete with a 33/45/78 turntable and an AM/FM radio. (Granddad once told me it was the last tube model Sears sold before everything hi-fi went solid state.) As I get more comfortable working around the high voltages required, I want to refurbish it back into service. No angry schnauzers here! 😁👍

Of course these days the MDF will cost you more than the $1800 Snapmaker you use to cut it out 😆Great video as always sir, love these builds!

It isn't so much the cost of the MDF as the type of "MDF". The only kind I can find these days is NOT standard MDF. It's more like chip board with a weird binder, and it isn't very good.

Thanks for the video. Always a good time seeing what you come up with.

That is incredible work. Love your videos man.

I listened to the demo on some Beyerdynamic DT-990 pro headphones, and I'm loving the sound of that little box! I love that you can get small drivers to make big synth bass parts and kick drums sound like they've got some authority (I could really tell on Shapeshifter). I've learned a ton binge watching your videos recently, and can't wait to see what else you have planned!

Amazing! I've always loved BMRs, they're certainly wonderous technology, especially for the price (although more costly as of late). Surprised the response came out so nicely, I was expecting some serious comb filtering between those two drivers.

This was amazing! Btw I love your song "Gravel Rain".

long story short - every video you have made has impressed me. I watched this video with Lenovo Legion 5 2021 model and listened with Steelseries Arctis headset, the sound is of this tiny speaker you've built is strong for the size. I'd like to ask do you still have the video where you do the demo of two towers in the bedroom and another one where you talk about doing a build for your sister if i remember correctly to replace the random speakers she had with a proper set and when she heard these speakers play she cried. yes, I have been following you for years. the video with banging 6.5 incher in the trunk while people thought it to be a 12 or two 8s was also mad.

Sounds fantastic! I chose to lisen to the sound demo using Mese 99 Neo's with Hart Audio cables powered through my IFI zen DAC/CAN stack on balanced 4.4 and it sounds amazing! Now I wanna build one lol!

My listening impressions: Compared to the bluetooth bose speakers we have around the house, this speaker plays considerably lower. The bass and midbass definitely stand out. For some of my music, especially the more acoustic tracks, I would want something more along the line of your simulated response, with a smoother high end rolloff. That being said, the low end sounds very impressive on those electronic tracks. Your speaker is still much less "boxy" than the bose, and what highs are there, do sound better. Would take this speaker over the bose any day (except a day where I need to put said speaker in a backpack). Listening devices: Yamaha NS-1000 and Sennheiser HD 660S

I have a Snapmaker Artisan on preorder.....cant wait to get making things 🙂

Nicely done! As usual :)

Im a simple man. i see new content from Hexibase, and i click, watch, and enjoy...

Great build man! Holy hell I want one of those machines! And also, HEEEEYYY SOPHIE!! You're a lucky cat having a babe like her! Keep em coming! Your channel is baller status!

as usual you dont disappoint

I’m verry impressed, especially by the low-end. I’d expect off axis performance to be only so so due to diffraction, might also explain the muted high frequencies. But that did not hurt the performance notably during the demos. More than overkill for the use case. Just listened with airpods pro but those generally sound pretty okay and flat

Awesome video, as always! I was wondering if you have made any reviews for these amplifier boards? Theres quite a few of them out there and although they can't compete with high end amps, many less capable enthusiasts (myself and many of my friends) are left scratching our heads on how to choose a board that gives the best results per dollar.

@@HexiBase I have good experience with Ayimia A03 and A07 Pro amp and Sure Wondom JAB4. Others tend to have some noise at least from RCA input, either they are too sensitive or something else. Dayton Audio should be rebranded Sure Wondom if I'm not mistaken. No personal touch with Arylic Up2Stream but they have some good reviews though.

Any chance you’d assemble and sell the amp? It’s what I’m looking for and can’t find. You sir are an inspiration and source of knowledge for me.

JUST LOVE THE CONTENT

WOW!!! Youre stuff is awesome!

Thanks! Now I want a Snap Maker.

Listening impressions overall pretty positive! Does certainly have a good amount of low end, maybe not the snappiest in the world (?), but certainly not bad enough to complain for non-critical listening. The highs sound suprisingly bright considering the FR, the top top end isn't quite there but that 6-10k sounds all there and accounted for. Though then again this is all a bit subject to my own set up which is a set of DIY speakers that are +/- 3db 35-18000Hz for the most part, after I've done a whole load of room correction with the EQ anyway. It does have a slight upper treble bump (starting around 10k) of 2 db or so which is why this may sound a bit brighter to me

Your builds are amazing 👏, especially those t line 3D printed sub enclosure producing insane bass considering their compact size. I suggest you that You make bigger versions of enclosure,like for 10-12 inch subwoofers or even bigger, and try to get highest efficiency. I can imagine that if those 3-6 inch subs can get crazy loud then 12 inch would be competing with 18 inch sub with enclosure built by you👍

epic project

Awesome project with awesome results! Especially considering the low cost of the drivers and amplifier. If one were to build this in a more "traditional" rectangular enclosure for their shed using the ports you designed, what internal size enclosure (per driver) would you suggest? Your incredible content is always appreciated and enjoyed.

i know this is a year old now, but with PE's ampss with DSP now. this would be interesting setup to lift to the top end a bit.

Great work! I always wonder how you will be able to go as low as 50Hz with such a small driver. Amazing!

@@HexiBase Thanks for the reply. Regarding the high-frequency roll-off, I am not 100% sure but the culprit could be the output filter of the amplifier. I had a similar issue with one of the TPA3116D2-based amplifier boards. Continue your adventures! Cheers!

Low key wishing for a boombox with the same quality and also a few nods from the bass tube, maybe. I really do hope these are sold in retail!

Impressive!

Would be interested in seeing you build portable speaker.

Very Nice!

Wow nice sound your mic must be pretty good too

well done!

Such a cute little router! If you were making wave guides or curved baffles, would it be faster to carve MDF or to 3D print? (I won't talk about how much bigger or faster my CNC is, because that wouldn't be fair...)

That sounds like a real kicker for such a small speaker. Do you get good enough separation with the speakers being quite close together?

Could you share what motorized jib/slider you use for the smooth camera shots? Looks great.

Impressive 👍

Nice! I'm curious about 2 things. First, what's your impression on the SnapMakers CNC capability ? Same as or better that the Chinese CNCs for $400? Second, where did you get the formula for the taper (area vs length) of the port? All the papers I've read are conflicting or unclear in that regard. Would it be interesting to you to compare a straight tube port (no taper) vs what you have wrt bass extension, port noise onset vs volume?

Impressive

Do you have any tipps and could you give some advise on what software you are using to design all these different enclosures? Is there a software to design and model a enclosure in 3d for example and simulate the airflow, spl, with/without horn, different ports and further more?

Awesome

Hello @hexibase. I am starting to think about a ceiling speaker project. I want to print a 3d enclosure for small Tang Band speakers and radiators. Have you experimented with ceiling speakers yet? I feel so much technology is used in small Bluetooth speakers that can translate to fuller-sounding ceiling speakers. But I am looking for a way to create the enclosure and mounting system. Any input would be appreciated. And keep up the fantastic work you do. Your knowledge, skill, and presentation are, in my opinion, second to none.

Pete, do you still enclosure designs? Like the pwk designs car audio stuff? It's been years since I've purchased a design. Is the site still active?

Great project, but did you use a different slicer for the grill? Latest Luban doesn't seem to be able to figure out the G-code, at least not on my machine (the rest of the prints have no problem) any chance on getting the sliced file?
