Meh

no, they just master how to make crappy speakers sound good in the enclosures they build.....they are good at building enclosures, not speakers !

Bose have some smart cookies working for them, no doubt about it, but they aren't known for the quality over their hardware nor their price to performance, but they are known for using clever science to squeeze perceived performance out where raw performance doesn't actually exist. They are the masters of polishing turds with psychoacoustics. Audiophiles reject the very notion that sound perception is psychological, and Bose actually goes out of their way to point it out, and quite frankly, they seem to actually know what they are doing. Bose go out of their way to engineer ways to make crappy sound from cheap speakers interact in a way that tricks people's ears into perceiving things the speakers aren't capable of doing. However, manipulation of the sound like this leads to music not actually sounding like it was intended, and that can seem like a perversion of the sound by some audiophiles, since bose could have simply used adequate hardware for the job instead of manipulating the sound. Especially since it can trick the untrained ear into thinking it was doing _good_ things, since they have no reference for what good *actually* sounds like. I have no issue with bose and what they do, but I do wish more people actually understood what bose was. They are sound illusionists. Long story short, do NOT talk positively about Bose around an audiophile. It is like talking positively about ricers around a muscle car lover.

Any speaker is only as good as its enclosure. Any and all speakers do one function, move air. You can move all the air you want, but if it isn't correct flow, then IDC if you're rock Lvl 6 DC's or even better. The sound will always and forever be shitty. Walmart speakers can out DB and SQ "pro" setups. Now with that, I do understand the rest of the knowledge to go into this conversation. Dima said it best, they know how to make shit good, and small. NOT the best.

Jeremy Clarkson The Bose soundlink mini sounds like crap compared to what else is on the market

weasel toast it's still not a mid range speaker. I don't know where people are getting that idea from. Could be because the amp he is using might be giving a mid range effect.

It's a freaking mid-woofer not a subwoofer.

David Perry a midwoofer isnt existing what you mean is a kickbass speaker

David Perry and its a fucking subwoofer otherwise you wouldnt Mount it in such an enclosure

lol I have two of these in an old Acoustimass 15 home theater system and it friggen makes the floor bounce

www.GPcarAudio.com what is neo motor?

Stir Fa, Neo is short for Neodymium. So the woofers in this video have a Neodymium magnet.

Luke Vadekar thank you dear, are you audio expert?

@@sirpfa I wish haha

Luke Vadekar haha if not then, what ur expert in?)

You have that backwards, series halves the impedance, parallel will double it

@@Mike-qo4kp No Acoustic Theory was right...wiring speakers in series increases the impedance (i.e. add the impedance together to get the total impedance), in parallel reduces it (i.e. two speakers of the same impedance will see half the impedance)

Renno Vattio 😂

the only credible part is "'Compression, folded 1/4th wave, asymmetrical labyrinth"; roughly equivalent to what we call a an end loaded tapered horn; a modified transmission line.

Eh, I test drove a 2016 Mazda 6 a few years ago, it had a Bose stereo, relatively powerful bass for a stock stereo, but also sounded oddly muffled for some reason. That being said, I'm used to aftermarket stereo systems, so I'm probably a bit biased.

@@hakont.4960 "oddly muffled" is exactly how subs that rely on fancy physics sound. They utilize these tubes, horns, and channels and the shockwave gets distorted before it even exits the speaker. Nothing beats a simple sealed enclosure facing the listener, a proper, efficient driver, EQ...and an anechoic chamber. Because no driver is flat in a sealed box.

@@JustinCrediblename The entire frequency range was muffled really, really meh stereo overall. I do agree that you can't beat a proper subwoofer in a properly built and tuned enclosure. I currently have a Hertz ES 300.5 12" DVC subwoofer in a 40 liter sealed enclosure powered by an 1100 watt Hertz mono amp in my car and it makes that Bose subwoofer sound like a toy speaker. It's not overly loud since it's in a closed box, but the bass is nice and "weighty" with good punch.

I like the amp cooling idea they incorporated. Nice small package design.

Yeah but speakers shouldn't be shit

They came to a compromise with that design - fits in a small space. Using drivers with any more excursion would just make things worse as there is too much air movement to fit in that space/port.

Oh so wrong.....it's about the box design, the speaker, the head unit, the amplifier and everything between. Slapping some crappy speakers in a great box will not provide premium sound. It will provide deep farting sounds.

uh finally someone mentioned the head and amp!

John Willis 90% correct! a crappy MTX sub in a well built to specs premium enclosure will make it sound VERY good. Of course with a good head and amp and power supply!

Youknow they's prob make some nice midbass drivers :)

Sundown ftw

+Romulo Bello no

Seem to sound good. They don't actually do that

@@PlatinumEagleStudios lmfao you must not be into car audio if you think that bose is better than sundown audio, DC, etc

@@PlatinumEagleStudios enjoy paying too much for paper speakers that can barely hold any power :)

RenkoV2 you’re comparing mainly Sub brands to home audio , car audio head phone brand .. and fyi sundown is over rated , I had a single sa 15 , and then moved to 2 x12 sundowns , which yeah hit lows good and a good quality speaker but for 1200$ JUST for the subs itself isn’t worth it , I moved to a Single Skar ZVX 15 , and now that’s the BEST brand for the money out there

@@hunterbasselite6826 you do realize that bose has a car audio line too, and yeah skar is really good sundown is pretty good, and worth the price compared to the price of a bose system

hahahahahaha no tf they dont, over engineered garbage... over priced too

Very similar drivers can be purchased at Parts Express. There are a plethora of small subwoofers, down to 3" in diameter, that use this same design style to move lots of air from a small driver in a small space.

snapster to move air its easy.To move it clear like bose its a science.Its like you say why buy a porche engine 5000 cc when you can buy a truck

i was on your side till you said that, you dont know what youre talking about

+yung bobby kennedy yeah this guy just made himself look like a fool

Bose, the most highly rated by rich people lol. When in reality they are junk. Just like JL audio. Junk all around.

Thanks! And it's "you're", just so you know.

Ok Karen

JL audio?

they are bose, bose makes speakers as cheaply as possible, no 12 inches, they will just do 6, 2 inches

+johnniedehuff they sound good. Not cheap

Jayden Thompson no they sound cheap

Soong Wen How do you ignore the price when you dont have alot of money? I have a 500 dollar bose and when i look inside the sub it shocked me. I smell a strong scent of wood (wood is normal for subs but the smell is insane) and for the thing that brought the sound out of the box it looked like they used just a thicker toilet paper roll cardboard thing

Oh They Are Really Good For Bass (they Literally Make My House Shake)

FOURTH of all let's not forget it's a video and to enjoy it

UltraWide Gaming. i plea the Fifth😉

Rudy J. Cornejo because they don't make them just cheap factory speakers as shown

you've commented this before on other vids xD

If you pair them with a tweeter and a 2.5KHz crossover. It would sound awesome. Bose could make a home speaker 700 to compete with Klipsch fives with these woofers front firing plus an omnidirectional tweeter and their famous waveguide technology.

@@davidperry4013 I happen to have one of these woofers, and any vocals sound horrible (crossed over at about 2-3k with a small full range as a tweeter, not entirely sure of the exact xover point as I was using a 2 way car crossover). The woofer did measure flat to about 2k, but anything besides bass sounded almost like it was playing through a plastic cup

Yeah too bad the surround is made out of shit materials

What else is it supposed to be used for its obviously a fucking subwoofer the fuck u think this was chirpers? Dumbass

Infinity is the best oem system I heard pretty sure it was in either a Lexus or a Infiniti can't remember

Do you build them for people's stereo systems at their house or have you tried to incorporate a t-line box into a car cuz I know they end up being very big just curious as I wanted to build one for a while for a vehicle and I know that they can be very difficult regardless of where they are to get tuned right there isn't a whole ton of information out there on good quality builds for a car

TheCamaro5 or Infiniti

They bump in my Altima coupe

Dante C altimas have 6x9 subwoofer not these

Just got one of these out of the LQK pull-a-part junk yard today $9

they do you can order them at Ebay

They make 15inch and 12inch powerd home subs

Still pounds though. Bose subs are amazing

Good. You're too poor for Bose anyways. Go back to your Sony speakers, fucking kid.

T mass up in fluems

What you think about Bose F1 and sub2?

Not really I have one and can take crazy power If it was low quality then why is it that they got high quality (more like competition grade ) voice coils? I tried blowing these subs and it's impossible Definitely buying 20 of these to prove to people bose is better then they think

killer1479 no

Ya sorry mate. Bose sucks

micro love um no stfu

Bose came in my 14 Impala.... and compared to regular stock car audio... the Bose is miles better BUT it still is no king. I can not wait to get my old Memphis M5 12 back in and look at redoing the rest of the audio. I can... at least tolerate for now unlike most stock car audio..... *cough* "Pioneer in a 11 Equinox" *Cough* is crap *Cough*

Ok thanks

+david paul You are welcome ;)

excelente música para la prueba 😎

nice song

It is plugged in to standard amplifier. There is no filters

You should try to use the Bose amp. All is needs is 12 volts and a signal going to it. Subwoofers are not meant to play highs so try to filter out the highs or try to use the Bose amp if you really want to see how much bass these have because they do have very good bass but they are subwoofers not full range drivers so filtering out the mids and highs would be good. I would suggest putting an 80HZ low pass filter on these to really make them slap. The excursion on these woofers is insane for their size

exactly the problem with bose..... wheres the highs coming from??? nobody knows... somewhere between the undersized paper driver cone, and the dust cap.....

+EpicEverythingDude75 no shit stupid fuck... i was being sarcastic... yea.. my point exaclty.. put 50 filters on 25 speakers... so fucking genius.. totally how you get could flat spound reproduction.. go ahead by bose.. its there for stupid fucking idiots like you.. that means there will be more quality equipment to go around... so go fuck your self and your plastic piece of shit bose systems..

+b. c. have fun replacing your rotting as foam surrounds... and further more, bose was more about home audio than anything... there poor quality componants is extreme in there surround sound units most of all... they are fucking junk... same quality as a walmart sony, with a genius port calculation to make it sound a tad better, then charge you 10 times it worth... how many fucking videos have you seen of an audio file showing off his 300,000 dollar bose system????

In the US this exact one is in a 2009-2014 Nissan Murano And 2009-2016 370z

My wife's mom has the Murano this is in, what a horrible sound system I can confirm.. I didn't even realize it had a sub till I installed a towing kit on it and found it while running the wiring.

RevToTheRedline The actual speakers aren't too bad for stock just bose makes an awful eq for all the speakers.

370z

I god a complete bose audio system from a mazda 6 in a car scrap park :)

Ughhhh -_-

No There are better one like harman/kardon

my Audi's the same way amazing full sound for all passengers. but others I've heard.. crap

Most of their stuff with the tiny speakers they try to coax big bass out of is a joke, but their older 301s, 501s etc are decent. I've got a pair of 301s from 1996, have 8" woofers and they sound great. My pops has 501s from the late 70s that have 10" woofers and they rock hella loud.

+djhaloeight I like Bose in mid home theater but not for car

+djhaloeight and i have a sundown audio 8" on 1k as the sub for the home audio I'm a major bass head Bose just don't give the power for me or the quality I need js

agrred fuck bose

+Leroy Spires bose dosent bump lol

That was not my

+AymBro i am relaxed, but these subs are trash compared to a real subwoofer.

+AymBro very well built? Are you a bose enthusiast or something? The box is made of fucking plastic.

+FSXgta bose enthusiast? Why would you need to be an enthusiast to know if a product is well built or not? Once again... Default car subwoofer. Its suppost to be cheap and functionable. Those subwoofers dont have near enough output to require anything more than a plastic enclosure..

+AymBro again, overpriced trash with super low quality.

At last, someone gets it!

Amen! Well said!!

We have 2 cars, my wife is a Nissan Murano, and mine a BMW 3 series. I spent about $4000, 2 JL audio Subs and 6 Alpine speakers, custom cabinets etc, 4 super tweeters, 10 stack CDs, 4tb Hard drive, Android marshmallow 6.0.1, Amp Digital EQ, seperate amp for Subwoofers, High quality wiring, touch screen, plays FLAC, MP3, AAC, MKV, everything you throw at it almost. The amount of boxes, manuals, and amount of components, labour, time, that went into it. I was looking at each freaking speakers one by one, at the quality of the built etc when the guy was installing everything. My tweeters are silk dome, same grade you would find in home theatre. All up it was probably about 50kg of high quality components. Then there is my wife's Murano, top of the life with all options, come standard with Bose, I think 9 speakers, I saw that same little box that you are showing in your video. I never wondered where was all that sound coming from. Until one day she spilled coffee and it somehow went into the grill of front driver side Bose speaker. She wanted me to get it cleaned, but I did not want to wet the speakers, so I took it to my audio mechanic guy who did the work on my car. He simple pulled it out and soaked it in water, then he was showing me what came behind the Bose grill, and piece of small paper speaker cones, while mine had Kevlar and some kind of metal cones, my JL audio sub with the cabinet we need 2 people to move it, and he opened where the Bose sub was and showed me exactly what is in your video, disconnected it and I was holding it with one hand. I was like what the fuck?? I could not believe it because my wife's car was expensive, the sound when I sat in it, was really amazing. The sound is indeed still very good. Everytime I have stepped into the car and turned the music on, it had always filled the car with deep bass, and and a sense of fullness. In my car, even though I had all those high quality materials speakers all tuned up, JL subs etc, I could never get it to sound as good as the Bose. The Subwoofer rattle my whole car, and people know at home, probably all the neighbourhood too, when I am reaching home, and I have tamed it down all bit since, and I hear nothing inside my car and still people say they always hear my freaking bass. my wife's car though, the bass is full and musical inside the car playing decent sound does not have to reduce the volume and bass and music is loud inside the car, and no neighbours noticed anything. So there you go. How the fuck do they make it sound so go with so shitty paper and plastic components. You should have seen the freaking size of the magnet on my JL sub. My speakers did not even fit in the door, so we had to make custom frames for them. But all these it seems is only good if you wanted to turn your car into a hi-fi, nightclub speakers, but you need to be outside and in a dancefloor to really enjoy it. And the weight of all this, it's like having a 50kg person glued to the car permanently wasting petrol everyday.

I mean, they do sound pretty good....probably why they are such a popular company.

Nah.

+Jeremy Clarkson alright Mr.Elitist

I bet you don't even know how speakers work.

nah, I dont. I have not clue, I have been building subwoofer boxes for a few years without knowing anything...

How the fuck can you make subwoofer boxes without knowing that small 4 inch drivers don't have enought displacement to make good bass?

They are midranges because they are too small, they can't make good bass. 4 - 5 inch is a midrange driver size.

Are u a speaker engineer?

Better sound through Research that's why!
