257 comments

(Smart) This seems above my expertise

(Mike Keenan) Great videos! Thanks. How are you passing the wires through the box? Small hole? One of those black plastic terminal holders? Or something else? Thanks

(BassheadBG) hi bro does 16mm wood is good for 12'' 400w rms?

(Aditya Tomar) Hey bro can you gave a video of this subwoofer dimensions with L×B×H and what is the inch of subwoofer for and gave a vdeo

(Dewayne Johnson) Could you tell me the box specs for a pair of Memphis mojo mini 6.5? It’s going in a 2016 GMC Sierra crew

(Nuno Miguel Rodrigues Sanches) Soo many people sleeping on the W3. Such a great driver for the money.

(Richard Batres) why any chance do you re do these boxes for sale? I know you have custom sub boxes for sale on your site.

(Jerzy Wasilewski) I didn’t realize you should put 45 degree corner diffusers in sealed boxes??

(Mr.R3DD’s Customs) I watched the whole series and i love your work. I think I’m going to do my next cars trunk like this. My only question Is how did u secure the box. The beauty panels are secure to the box as well as the amp rack but what prevents the box from sliding forward and backward.

(Kye Gibson) May I ask pls what wood you use

(Masan Raymond Keris) Mayuh jaku la antuu..pelirrr dik..

(Many More) Hey Buddy...I need help to build my sub box. I have an old skool sub Cliff Design CD120C, 1200 watts max and 600RMS , i dont know what size box i should use for this to make nicer sound. Also if you can suggest a good 5 channel amp. Thanks in Advance.

(Julian Harry) I wanna know if u have any design for 4 8" speaker on the back dash of a car

(Jody B Roach) You missed a line on the top left side. Nice box though.

(DJ Danzo 206) Bro I don't have the tools to do the cut out is there alternative way to draw the circle manually?

(mrdouble99) Have you ever tried LineX on a subwoofer box ? I have done LineX on my subwoofer box and it sound tighter :)

(TATERS 73) Any suggestions i have a 2011 lexus gs350 the back seats don't fold down just the arm rest in the back i feel like i got alot of trapped bass in the trunk. Need suggestions your the best out there???

(Jubzz Ong) no hole?

(Me AndMe) Damn... I wish we had a box maker in San Antonio. Impossible to find one for a 99-04 Ford Lightning.

(Joe Roman) Could I put the subs on the flat face instead and slide the wedge into the wedge space in my trunk? That's my plan, make an angled enclosure to match the angle of the rear seat.

(Nico Lumens) On a sealed enclosure how important is it to hit the recommended enclosure size? My sub is recommended to be in 1ft³ box sealed and it's slightly smaller.

(Trevor Ferry) Looks like a mk6 Jetta. Mind sharing the measurements of that side wedge profile? I know I’ll need to adjust my width based on my volume required for my sub, but the side profile should be similar.

(dcole302) What wood thickness are you using for the mdf? Great work btw!!

(RichMan87) Awesome I need to do this so my wife will give me a break on trunk space.

(MyTruckinLife ACE) Nice job mark. I love the way The groves look. Can’t wait to see the amplifier mount.

(Mahesh Thakur) I am from india, I would love to learn and to work with you.....

(Jay Flores) Can you go over how you made the angle cuts on the baffle in more detail? I understand making the cuts on the top and bottom to match the angle of the side pieces, but it gets tricky when you put the last piece on in order to give it a flush look.

(melvin martinez) Man I have 3 of the jl audio 13.5 v3 like the one on your video. My question is I want to put it in my single cab dodge and do I have room? Do I have to have a blow thru the box?

(David Gomez) What kind of mdf do I pick up and from where home depot has like 20 different kinds

(Joakim Vinsnesbakk) Can I direct this enclosure towards the rear seats or will the subs not get enough breathingroom?

(Scott S) Architecture in Audio ! Impressive

(Earache //) How do you do the angled cuts on the top and bottom of the mounting face plate? It’s not screwed in? Just glued?

(ZE_GERMAN) Any future plans on building an infinite baffle setup? 2x18” or 15” Subs?

(RHINO CUSTOMS LLC) Do you have a video on how to find angles for the top and bottom

(jasonneal) Hey, just curious if you could share the link to where you get your vinyl from. Thank you, your videos rely help fabrications a lot easier.

(Madara Uchiha) I want to know does car woofer need crossover or not?

(lennon muthusamy) Good Sir i would like to know if you could help with measurements to build a dual 15 inch slot port box for my bmw e90 as I have 2x dvc 850watts rms subwoofers. Thanks

(นายไม้เอก Channel​) แล้วเสียงจะออกทางไหนครับ

(PJ Price) Dude, you are a beast! Excellent job as always!!

(Keith Thomas) After watching a newer video.... i think u may want to lay off the bacon or jog on the treadmill a bit... just lettin u know the cold cuts are adding up!!!! no offense tho. love collecting your knowledgeable tidbits!!!!

(Mont Elswick) Ok now haven't seen any wedge ported box for 1 single 12 inch sub . That would work behind back seat 2012 Silverado

(Mikko Laine) I was waiting for that how you mounted this thing? :P

(Stan Mondzelewski) The last sub box i built was back in the days of alma gates beast bronco running ppi

(Stan Mondzelewski) Can we get a standard cab truck box build? 2nd gen ram 1500. Im looking at a skar sdr15 to put in mine. Itll have to be a sealed box. Once i subtract wood displacement, i got around 3.7ft³

(steve mcgowan) Hi can u use a fosgate p1 sub 10 with a jbl cs10 in my diy box under seat have kenwood ps200 amp .steve

(Buddy's Creation) You're attention to detail is awesome. Keep it up.

(ItzNoah231) How is the subs secured to not move at all?

(HamakuaDivebomber) Master builder !!

(indravesh gheerow) Can u do a detailed video on building a 4th order box?

(V-To_Godly 3) Hey Mark! Was wondering if you will ever have a dual 12” free design in the near future? I loved the single box design you gave years ago!

(D_Dizzie _Druck) WAIT!!! You mean to tell me i have been doing this wrong? I give myself headaches worrying about the air volume of the woofer chambers compared to the woofer dimentions Ex: magnet size n what not. Air volume between back of enclosure & back of sub. When all i really should worry about is if the box fits in the trunk?🤔😆 Have not made not made one that never fit yet..... but i like simple too.

(Brian Oglow) I’d make a nice a baffle, bolt it in & call it a free-air install. Sit back and enjoy FULL range bass🙂

(Daniel Ramirez) Mark i have been seeing ur videos for about 3years now and I have to say u are amazing at what u do and I really appreciate all of ur videos . U have really impacted my car audio knowledge and I hope to keep seing ur videos and learning from u everyday. Thank u again . Keep up the amazing work . Talk soon my friend.

(MCW BADASS) Hey Mark, question for you brother, do you have any suggestions for circle templates that I could get in Canada? I've looked everywhere and I can't find anything like the ones you have. Congrats on the new vehicle too man, it's awesome 👍👍

(brian hacket) Why would you round over a inside brace, wtf

(JACK PARCELL) I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO BUILD A 4 HOLE 12'' BOX WITH A CENTRE PORT. ALL THE SUBS ALSO FACING TO THE FRONT WITH THE PORT HAVING 2 SUBS ON EATH SIDE. THIS BOX IS TO FIT UNDER THE BACK SEAT IN A TOYOTA QAUNTUM/HIACE 2017 MODEL

(Daygan Kisinger) Why is there a divider in the middle

(Roger Mitchell) Design a box for 4 skar zvxv2 d1 15s for a 2003 ford expedition with 3rd row seating folded down subs facing up and slot port to the rear

(Jamil Ahmed) I made box with iron 5mm press sheet downfiring sealed is it ok? any tip please for inside i put polywool or not

(The flying kayak) Dude I highly appreciate your videos it’s helped out with ordering everything I need and knukonceps.com has my order in route

(Andrew Loughry) Do you have any videos about swapping stock sub out in rear deck , adding amp.. and about free air sub / baffles ?

(syumassh) Could you do one for just wheel arches?

(S TEEMO) Do you have a promo code we can use to buy templates? From mobilesolution

(Mark Segree) Unrelated but i need help. I got a 2016 cx5 base model. The sound is ok but its low in volume, then you have to turn up 3/4 way to get a decent volume but then the distortion happens. I was gonna go with the infinity reference for 150cad dual coil and 200cad components. Its black friday and the sound ordnance are on sale for a super difference in price. I don't wanna feel like I cheated out when I press play. Do you think the sound ordnance will make me happy considering I was looking for reference quality?

(RobWhittlestone) Mark you have AWESOME SKILLS and for us mortals a very clear plan! I love your content, it's a joy to watch such craftsmanship! All the best, Rob in Switzerland

(jw191) Do you consider building two separate boxes so you can go slightly bigger overall?

(TheCreoleQueen Chachere) New follower here....I spent YEARS where I had A LOT of sound in a few old school cars I’ve owned. Trunk opening was no issue in a 92 Fleetwood, 83 Delta 88 nor with an 84 Cutlass Supreme 😆😂. I now own a Silverado 1500 and after adding 4 6x9s in the back doors, new head unit and an amp...that’s where I’ve stopped. I’d love to get back into it by switching to better amps as well as shallow mount subs. I’ve been planning on building my own sub box this time and your channel has sooooo much useful info! Glad to have come across your channel 😃

(Poltak Arif) I have 2 10" w3v3 in my trunk. Soft bass and accurate. Love it but its so SQ. Not that boomy and punchy in EDM or RnB music.

(Awii_ Koendj) Can you make a chuchero box? 2x 8/10 inch midrage speakers and 2 tweeters and 1 driver ? Everything is in one box And how to wire all those things to a speak on cabel

(Brayden Drewry) Hey buddy I’ve been trying to make a box for a Orion hcca 12 but I’ve had no success could you do a vid on the dimensions for it thank you very much and howdy from Texas

(William Price) I used the 12W3v3 version in my step son’s 1997 Buick Skylark. I used an IB/trunk install and they absolutely rocked.

(Angel Cortes) DUZZ N E 1 KNOW if there is a car stereo that can use bluetooth feature 2 use phone as bullhorn 2 transmit out of car audio? hav a motorhome I want 2 E KUIP WITH SUM AUSOMM SOUND & USE AS MIC SPEAKURZ..... PRITTY PLEEZ?... KAN B KONTAKTED BY FONE 2... 281/250*5922

(anoop vimal) Hey mark pls do one more video, how to design an enclosure

(Victor) Man all these apps gots everybody doing what I been doing since early 90s been bumpn hard .

(ittotaq) can we get a stealth build that doesnt require giant subs and things taking up so much space? (AND keeping the spare tire)

(Julienne Goodell) Is that just MDF?

(Angel Garcia) Simple and klean!

(Josh M) Mark sure loves his routers.😆 I need to get one sometime.

(Last Hope) I've not be into car audio in a decade but from what I remember I don't recall ever seeing a good ported box, maybe all my friends who had one used cheap options but they always came off as muddy and not very accurate. I've always felt sealed boxes while less bass tend to be more accurate with the bass, thinking about it now it's hard to put into words but the bass on ported boxes seemed to drag on a little after the bass note whereas sealed would hit the bass than move on to the next note.

(Alex Jimenez) Festool track saw works great as well

(Vitale) ART, Pure Art. Applying a curved edged to supports that will never been seen in the final product - Attention to detail and Craftsmanship. Well Done Mark! I just finished a component speaker and sub woofer box for my 1999 Hummer - all based on watching your videos!

(The Keyse Review) Man this giving me some Ideas for my Jetta. Thanks Mark!

(dracula3811) Thx for sharing your knowledge with us. Excellent quality content as always!

(S10rm Trooper) I remember this douche bag Matt Mccoy in my town was bashing on me for using a brad nailer to hold my pieces together.

(Tyson Erisman) Where can you pick up the little angle finder you put on the saw blade?

(Big Dave) What brand of stick light is that?

(The Gentleman’s Wood) What dust collector do you use??? Hardly ANY mdf dust on the table saw

(avenger429) If you posted every single day I would watch because your material is so awesome and easy to digest. Thanks Mark!

(Dion Campbell) Another cool custom build, well done Mark.

(Marciano Garcia) the lines are neat

(Leslie John) I want grate sound, but I don't want to build any thing, Neet to update with gate speaker's and head unit, need grate sound not I don't want to wake up the dead

(Deeper Dive) Why the f*** would you dislike this video?

(V Power Electrix) Love the content as usual... Its looking sublime, well done as always Brother

(Scot&Tiffani McCord) Mark but I don't have a rabbiting bit so how do I do that 8:10 Plz help!

(vadak datta) To this brother air flow why not.

(Supratt001) Would like to see the wiring for the subs

(Izzy Santiago) Yo Big Mike why don't you come to Brooklyn and hook my system up.

(Mani-aX) I'm already an subscriber, now where is my video haha! great work on this and it does look really nice with the accents.

(Robert Smith) So nice Mark!! Details look so nice. One question, why not use plywood?? High quality cabinet grade.

(adaboy4z) 12W3 are great subs. Had a single and liked it so much upgraded to a 12W6. Musical and will thump your chest!

(DuDeZoNe) Awesome as Always... great vid... have this style in my car..

(Raygan Davis) This gets me excited 👍👍👍👍

(gabriel stelian ciolponea) Subtítulos en español por favor ❤️

(Luther Mahoney) Why have them in separate sealed sections instead of one big cavity?

(justin smith) one of these days ill take all the ideas ive gotten from your videos and apply them to my own car... still sorting out some tools though.

(Shawn K Dooley) Excellent subs. They're going to sound phenomenal.

(Cosimo Marilli) for those who love car audio and DIY, following you is a real pleasure; compliments

(kenneth croll) 11.34 Hi Mark you missed a little line, top left there only 3 lines, and there's 4 on the right

(Vaniyakk) Hello from Russia (Moscow)!

(SAJ SOUND) Wow I love it

(Graham Prescott) I only have the w3 8inch micro sub in my ford focus and it gives me plenty of bass. Can't imagine needing 2 13.5 inch subs! 😀 I'm sure they would go a little lower though

(Alex Silva) Hey mark, where can I get that rabbeting bit you use for when you want to flush mount the subs to the enclosure? I'd really appreciate it.

(Eliezer nunes) 👉🏼🚗🔈🔉🔊✍🏼🧔🏽👍🏼✌🏽show top top parabéns pelo vídeos fiz uma 2x10 w0v3-10 mande para mim um vídeo ok 👍🏼tmjs

(Zpwslayer) What kind of terminal cups did you use?

(Brody Heilig) It wouldn’t affect the width by coming from the front! Turn the box long ways, then once you’re in the trunk, rotate the box to face the direction you want it to!! I mean, really??! Lol smh 🤦‍♂️

(V-To_Godly 3) Thanks Mark! Just getting into building some boxes.This help is appreciated! 100%

(miguel de la vara) Awesome video ✌👍🙏🏼 What did u recommend me for 98 Toyota tacoma single cab, i like to have something loud bass?

(FromRoselawn74) My question is how did u determine the cubic inches inside the box for the subwoofer. It does matter right?

(Syahril Baharuddin Sellang) I make the like 666

(Sean Perdue) Another excellent CAF production!!!

(Dave Taylor) Even a "simple" build you do well ☺️

(Sonnel Ostaan) Nice job

(Bobdodge) Man... I wanted complex and quiet.

(Shivan Harry) The calculation for a ported enclosure wedge style is it difficult

(Shivan Harry) Wow love this enclosure excellent mark

(Baldy Locc) So the custom CAF box i had build. The guy forgot the 45s in the corners also. Wondering are the really important?

(Roadlife93) Never thought of using table saw for that ..pretty creative

(KL) Digging the lines in the carpet. I think you could do some sick ghost flames or CNC customer's kids' names or something. Don't do the wife's name. She would have to take the box in a divorce.

(jason kinney) Great table saw, one of the top brands at least, but I picked up a track saw and I always suggest them now as a set with a less expensive table saw (think smaller more than less features). Once you master the track saw your table saw usage will drop significantly. In my opinion, more accurate, cleaner cuts, and a lot safer. It'll handle those angle cuts a lot more efficiently. I went cordless dewalt and invested in a larger track and can process a sheet in minutes where it would take at least an hour before. Just a FYI, great stuff as always!!!

(Teagan King) Anyone else notice that he didn't cut the front piece all the way for the top line..? No? Just me? Ah ok..

(Eduardo Cortez) Beautiful job

(81deaths) Dope video and how do you know when you should use a ported box or non ported box

(XxHyJyNxX) Always quality content. Watching your “method of madness” really accentuates the complexity of general installs and the need for a good install plan. Box sure does look beautiful, too!

(PT) Holly shiet that looks beautiful!! Your work never disappoints!

(Kyle Trent) I love your work. But....lol...you missed one line detail top left and where you painted the back of box, the line where the back panel goes to side top and bottom(I am assuming) would look much better if you used some wood filler in the gap. Also, some areas look like another coat of paint might have looked a bit better. I'm not a sound pro or near as good as you, but I am a carpenter. Anyways, just suggesting....keep up the great work.

(Danny) Can u do a how too install touchscreen radio in a 2013 Ford explorer

(Hardy Hagen) Awesome Knowledge it's really good to listen to someone who knows what there doing

(marklend theriot) Where you get the plastic ring for the cut out at

(Mark Philpot) Like that design Mark and those details. Some people don’t get it. The little extras that you do on a build add up to more business for the installer. Common looks mean less for your bottom lines and less return business. Anyone can build a boring box. A little more effort will keep you busy and your pockets full. That’s the way it is. Don’t believe me, ask Mark! Stay safe mates!😊👍🏻😷

(Beau Balco) So mark or anyone else happen to notice you forgot to tuck one of the carpet accent lines on top left side of box lol great build tho was just curious if anyone caught it

(NoiseBoysGarage) I definitely have the table saw cuts more than just the wood In half . Nice and clean

(HifiVega) Wedge box for the win! Every time I consider building a wedge box this little guy pops up on my shoulder saying “It’s easier to just build it square bro!” Then my lazy little guy pops up on the other shoulder and says “He’s right man” 😂😂. Excellent video as always! I know a lot of people struggle to build these types of enclosures so it’s good for them to have a nice step by step video.

(Jesus h. Gonzalez jr) Nice job real clean loved it.

(Marc) Mark , recommend an installer west side of town Goodyear?

(California mechanic 559) Love to have you as a subscriber as well. California mechanic 559

(Jewel Dey) I had a 88 Volkswagen Cabriolet a few years ago. I installed in all Boston acoustic speaker system. Six and half components in the doors, 5.25" coaxials in the back with 75 W per 4 channels. Also, two 12s in a sealed enclosure in the trunk with 150 W per channel. It sounded incredible! However, to get the enclosure in the trunk, I had to remove the back seat and put it in that way. The Cabriolet hatch was way too small to get it in that way. In the past, I've had my sub boxes stolen out of my cars. I figured with all the work to get the box in the car this time, they would never be able to steal the system. They stole the car! Guess the joke was on me.

(Henry Long) These are the very same 2 amps that I have in my system!

(Mad Peddler) You didn't appear to measure the volume of the box, do these speakers not have a specific volume requirement for a sealed enclosure?

(Tickle Fingers) If you double or triple up your MDF you can cut all of your sides at the exact same time so they will be exactly the same.

(R. cast.) W3v3... I love that bass, greetings from Panama 🇵🇦

(Tickle Fingers) I still feel that the JL Audio W6 is the best SQ sub JL makes. In my opinion it's the best sub they make period due to my taste in SQ over everything else.

(D Roper) Sweet box. Loved your designs. Did you do the round over on the speaker holes using the router table? Would have loved to have seen you do it.

(Brady Simpson) Big Mark with another great vid. I’m excited about that next one though.

(Jan Cruz) Hello, can u help me, I just need to know what ecualizer I need for my system

(yoni elihu del campo ramirez) Quedo bien la integracion en el vehiculo te quedo muy bien ⛄⛄⛄😇😇😇

(Neilvester Victor) nice work I am from st Lucia the Caribbean

(Wish Bone) you should fully isolate trunk space and subwoofer placement, the sound will be better

(Chrisnas1) I wonder if a 2012 Toyota Camry v6 xle trunk would be able to fit 2 13.5 w3 in a ported in?

(Addictive Rain) You are so gifted on what you do.

(Dennis Walker) Nice so far

(J.Steger) You should of done a infinite baffle with different subs ....but I respect all your builds it just would of made for some awesome content 👌 👏 👍

(MAP Audio) Nice

(Albert Garcia) Great videos. Very informative for my build.

(Mason Hackler!) I have a single one of these in a sealed box that’s wayyyy too small but it has a ton of poly fil and we have intentions to build a bigger box for it later. It absolutely bangs even in a tiny enclosure

(radical gaming clips and highlights) Does it matter where the port is located as long as it's the right size? I had to cut the port off to get the box in my car. Now that I have a jeep. It Fits but the port is still cut off. Same size port, just not facing forward, it's on the side. Props on the JL audio subs, the rock! One more thing. Could I seal up the port? I prefer a more punchy bass for rock music. But the sub box won't have any separation between subs

(Derrick Norman) Good stuff

(F.A) hey mark, i have a 500W amp that has 4ga inputs. in my country i cannot get ifc from anywhere. can i use cca for it? it has two 25amp fuses at the input and class ab

(alexander hedblom) Hello from Sweden!

(Ron JL White) What up bro

(DXЯK ЩXLF BΣΛƬƧ) Bassssss
