Hey what is going on YouTube, make your music listening more enjoyable while driving around in your car, van, truck or even on a boat! If you have the time and skills you can make your own active subwoofer enclosure for your car. • Yes, you read it right, has built-in subwoofer amplifier board mono channel. There are 10 steps in this tutorial so let's get this thing kicking: • STEP 1 - SUBWOOFER ENCLOSURE DESIGN AND CALCULATION • I used a free web 3D design software called TinkerCad and you might as well use the design for your reference. Here's the link of the project - https://www.tinkercad.com/things/8JlH... • Enclosure volume calculator - http://www.hometheatershack.com/forum... • STEP 2 - UNBOXING OF MAIN COMPONENTS • I purchased a subwoofer plate amplifier on Aliexpress. • Subwoofer driver is a JBL CS1214 12 4 Ohms Single Voice Coil car subwoofer, purchased on Lazada (Philippines). • STEP 3 - ENCLOSURE BUILDING • In this step, carpentry skills become very useful and I admit I need to practice more doing carpentry stuff. ^_^ • A 3/4 (0.75 ) MDF board is the coolest choice over marine plywood. Stikwel wood glue as adhesive. Used a plunge or palm router in cutting the subwoofer hole. Hole saw for cutting smaller holes. And a bunch of clamps for holding the project while gluing and screwing. I prefer using jigsaw in cutting the board because I suck at cutting with circular saws. • STEP 4 - INSTALLATION PORT TUBE AND BRACES • JBL subwoofer box recommended a 4 port tube in a 1.75cuft enclosure but I made this slightly smaller. I used a 12 long with a diameter of 3 PVC pipe for port tube venting in this 1.65cuft enclosure. • STEP 5 - COMPLETE THE BOX BUILDING • Cut an angled edge MDF board for the back cover wedge shaped enclosure. Screw everything down and don't forget to flush drill holes. Protruding metal screw heads are not cool. • STEP 6 - CUT HOLE FOR AMPLIFIER PLATE • I enclosed the amplifier plate board using scrap MDF and plywood. Must enclose to prevent tiny electronic components on board get damage by strong bass air pressure inside enclosure. • STEP 7 - DRILL HOLES FOR SUBWOOFER DRIVER BOLTS • Secured the driver with 5mm stainless steel T-nuts. Bolts are Allen Hex, back steel. • STEP 8 - CARPETING • A 1 meter x 6 feet black speaker carpet and adhesive is a contact rubber cement. Box cutter with extra blades in cutting them into seamless look. • STEP 9 - SOLDER WIRE TO DRIVER AND BOLT DOWN • Original plan was to use Allen Hex screws in fastening the subwoofer plate. In the video, you see I used an ordinary black wood screws. Bolted down the subwoofer in this step and tighten good. • STEP 10 - VEHICLE WIRE WORKS • Must use an 8 AWG gauge automotive wire for power. Secured the power wiring with a 60A car audio fuse holder. Remote cable is a 16 AWG gauge wire with color blue soldered to head unit REMOTE PWR tab. Wrapped the cables using a cheap plastic spiral wrap. This tidy up eveything, aesthetic looks and added a marging of safety. • FINAL STEP - TIME FOR SOME BASS TEST! • Macbook Pro attached to head unit AUX playing the following tracks from YouTube: • 1.
