Pre-drill holes with correct size drill bit. Or insert t nuts if you are removing subs often

Jerry you are right about mdf wood an what I've learned that works for me is take a small can of Bondo fiberglass an make a 2in ring taped off of course around the top an the inside flange right where it swells up ,with the( Bondo) fiberglass. An sand it down with your palm sander ,it deadends the sound an creates structure to screw to. Love your videos

T-nuts and machine screws to mount woofers in enclosure. MDF soaks up water like a sponge, so I seal it before painting/carpet/upholstery/finish. Mix white glue with water, then brush on box with a chip brush.

The MDF is fine, it's how you mount your sub is the problem. You don't just screw directly into the MDF, drill some holes, get some t-nuts and use bolts to mount the sub, that way you can take it in and out as many times as you want without stripping out the screw holes.

Another thing with MDF that really helps is if you seal it with some sealer it stops it from absorbing moisture

“I’m just gonna put it out there”🤣🤣I fuckin love this guy

So glad DB drive is getting some good exposure,man they got some expensive amps on their high end

HDF has been my friend! Had 12 full sheets of 7/8s leftover from our home built wedding reception dance floor lol

This video gonna get lots of views. Those g7 are intriguing! More videos like this plz!

Those G7’s are no joke

I like to to cut my wire about 16th short of the end of the wire ferrule and flux wire and fill that 16th with solder. Comes out real nice.

Man oh man I'll be honest I have always had a liking for db drive audio and I am drooling over this new g7 line of equipment.. I have a dream of 9 g7 15s on 9 g7 5ks sound really nice about now.

Threaded inserts are the way to go regardless of material.

Very nice. Absolutely love db drive

We need a full demo video of this build. I wanna see bandana in the window to see how much air is moving, poo the hatch and show some sub flex too. I’d love to have this build in my daily.

Does look pretty clean.

That basket is way different then anything I have came across since day 1 of BASS!!

Nice work Jerry! Nice daily. 😊👍

gotta use some t nuts and bolts to secure the subs my friend and the next box coat it with duratex so it doesn't swell👍

Never heard of you, I was watching Steve Meade channel and someone mentioned you in a comment. Glad they did, you have dope content.

Man I need you as a bass head friend. I don’t have anyone to really get into with me like. I have watched a lot of your videos. Love your work

Them db drive looks good asf!!

This db drive g7 subs reminds me of a def bonce they look great.

I'm DB Drive guy for the last 4 years currently I have 2 g5 12' 4ohm's powered by 2 CT Sound 2000.1 amp but I'm looking to add two more g5 12' 4ohm's in my Yukon with 4 8 inch DB Drive Mid Range and 4 6.5 power by 2 1600 WDX DB drive & 1 1200 WDX for the 4 tweeters also I will be add 4 DS18 Mid-Bass Loudspeaker 10" with 1 DS18 PRO 1-Channel Full-Range Class D Amplifier 5000 Watts. "look out World".

Know them G7’s sound good asf I’ve ran db drive multiple times and rn I’m running kicker but DB drive is a good brand with good sq and low throbbing bass

Ahhh beat brings the family together ❤️

Or just set in nut certs and seal the box, and before you install the baffle just cut out an extra trim ring on the under side of the baffle about 3 inch around the sub circumference

Man that really nice

He is talking about the mdf and already talking about pulling the subs back out lol 😂. I never ever had a problem with mdf

I'm seriously jealous. Thems wicked.

Awesome video

awesome my g. i have some deaf bonce machete 15 inch subwoofers d4 for my daily driver.

Sweet video jerry!!! I learn so much from watching u tinker.

Damn those are monstrous subs 🙌🏼

Nice install 👌 and the subs are great

Great looking sub but I think for the money I would stick with Sundown or Deaf Bonce. Deaf Bonce 4515 is 4500 rms which like everything Deaf Bonce is conservative rating and it's only $50 more than the G7's

Yes db drive is a good sub I've got g3 15s

I almost missed this one 😁

I squirt wood glue into old holes then use a c clamp on the holes. Flattens em out and presses glue into the holes.

Wow 24 fs is SICK. That should play W7 lows

Hell yeah I've been waiting for this install!! Would have been cool to have more playing footage but I understand it was limited because voltage. Hopefully we can get updates after break in!!! Great job guys! Are you a Db dealer?

I remember when I was competing hard In usaci db drive amps were great and sponsored a lotta people

U should just hook up one coil from each sub to each amp then ain’t gotta worry about that .love your videos.peace

pre drilling the mounting holes will save the mdf from splitting

I built a parallel 6th with a db drive wdx12 in it for a buddy and it pounded. Those look way way tougher than the wdx's too.

Good work ass always Jerry. Those subs sure are perdy!

I love MDF it’s not the best ever by far but I do love it.

Just screw another layer of mdf on the top call it a day...it's just fun to listen to you get excited drooling over your subs I do the same thing

Dope lookin subs bro

Man epoxy resin than raptor line that box or paint it before putting those beautiful babies in there lol

My crescendo bc4k would clip at 76 volts I miss that amp I regret selling it those subs tho there straight beasts

New subscribers 🔥

We got to hear how these sound! Can you strap at 2 ohms instead of .5 ohm?

The rule in woodworking is to NOT put fasteners near the edge, besides cracking, there is no material there. NO STRENGHT, so the issue is not the material completely, but the tolerances. you need to make/use some sort of circle jig so the cutout fits the sub better, maybe use marine grade ply, and epoxy some T nuts in. MDF is great for home speakers, IMO, but Not for cars, but I have a honda that hates weight, so there's that.

#TEAMAINTLOUD🤘🏾🔊🔊🔊🔊

Sir you should try the db drive A7 pros amplifiers for these subs I personally think they are way better than those 5K’s.

Im looking at the G5 15 . What size box do you recommend? I was thinking 4.5 plus I want to move some air . Want it to be a demo vehicle. It will be going in a 08 Dodge Avenger

MDF is fine if you use it right. You can see the threads from the screws where the subs were mounted. Some of those screws were right on edge of the cutout. Your cutout was too big and you didn't use T-nuts. Soak up some fiberglass resin around that edge to seal it up. The problems you had are all down to poor craftsmanship.

How you do a resister to get me volts

Why did you put the subs in first before you moved the Box 😆

Ive been telling people that for years to switch to plywood

I agree Jerry, MDF enclosures suck for SPL in general. My current enclosure is 1 inch MDF and my Sundown Xv2 cracked the baffle. Birch is hard to find around my area, but I heard radida pine does decently 🤔

I would love to run the g7 they just need such a large box and unfortunately I don’t have the space for them . With the space I do have I can run more subs

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1102">18:22</a> 😂😂😂😂😂 toot toot

Whatever happened to the db drive wd

Jerry I would too see you drag car since I come from drag racing background

they sure are nice looking subs, i love it. Their amps are nice too but they are expensive. Too rich for my blood.

Jerry, what size is that enclosure? Shit I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee with 2 G2 Genesys 15s in a 8.33 ft3 box tuned to 32hz and I have ZERO room left back there lol

Anybody relatively close to Texas that builds enclosures?!? I need one for 2 kicker L7s 12s

Where did you get that purple screw driver from

What material do you recommend using to build a subwoofer box?

Mdf is not the best but not the worst. The problem he had is very common. I’ve built a lot of boxes with mdf and that’s the only problem I have had. To be fair I don’t build 150+ builds for anyone. I would definitely use better for that

Trying to sell one of those al1600 I have 1 but need another

Looks like they got the basket idea from the original gravity audio G7

what type of batteries would you use for those two 5K amps? I'm thinking 4 XS POWER PWR-S5-4700 Lithium batteries? And A 320 amp high out put alternator. Any Suggestions? BTW? I would love to hear your setup when it is finished? Thanks!

DB drive is cool again lol who would have thought

What was the box net volume and tune too Jerry

MDF is made from recycled cardboard. 🧐 I got my positive+ out of a BMW E35 out of the junkyard I work at. Best wire I've used in my 🚗 last wire it was welding cord the same as my hydraulics is not as good.

How big are those subs?

The metal screws are sweating

Yo so u said the part about ur drop at "15v and volume at 32, 35 is wer u set gain and u dont go to that volume because it clips or distort witchever u said for urs." Tho u said before that, "one amp is 10th lower". Can i ask u why u have one amp 10th lower? But u said u "shouldnt of been clipping at 32" tho if u dont have dual pole dual throw knobs you will be +/-10percent on the one amp so one is runing 10 and the other is running 20 wich. If it were 2 ohm and 4 ohm uld have stability that way as it wants to be "dual pole dual thrown" "posative wants to go forward, negative wants to go back wich would make makes one amp high ohm and the other less, if it wasnt needing that type of variation.. tho ur run a rca box wich is gunna help to all that tho the tenth is the distortion cause one amps load is a 10th of the other in that time^ but thats to be rcas shielded properly for the loads which then drops more but in proper timing and symetry makes for unity. Tho of couurrsee box plays to it all and frequency tho. Most to a true degree fundemental frequency shows way too much at y u are clipping at 32, and the 10th down from one the amps ( witch makes for more percentage of differences which is more to one then the other yes, its not much but!, if u look into discharge rate of batteries and as well fundemental frequencies and fourier function/ derivatives u then see that, if one is not to be a tenth down that tenth down wen time of rising it rlly is infinitly rising at that very moment wich is happening alot. But not enough to make clip light go on because the negative and posatives are being drawn at right times due to ur tuning but! As well i said look into crating and if u havent look in to cycilic charging which im rlly thinking u could control that, and if u do so for ur batteries running ur subs ull then make for proper pulses in time to soc cyclic charging which... ppl like to say im wrong to many things but ... im looking into... EVERYTHING physics wise to any formmm of energy and fundemental But ive rlly looked hard and im seeing whith way batteries discharge and fields drop and rise, same as well trims im finding that we rlly dont trust what was used right to all degrees to what a handheld meter would show us. But look into if u havent too. Semi qausi dual pole dual throw or jus qausi bass knobs. Youl see alot to just nobs and circuitry most would i mean but theres sooo much more nd to our systems we are to degrees "out of phase to make for phase" but soo is everysingle other circuit.. so that 10th is the degree at witch is the portion odistortion thats in one of the loads due to the sence of "dual pole dual throw" (Im not saying u asked or have a problem with anything, but im saying like if u look into that stuff and learn it u might see it way i do, e=mc^2 (which is power in eqauls the power coming out tho yes ur changing it "tuning" but if it is same exact loads that is the reason ur clipping at 32 which as well look into doppleganger effect and that will show to the magnitude of the waves radius's tho if u were to put ur waves of "tune" in a doppleganger graph uld see that "if" its both the "exacctt" same ohm loads and ones 10th lower the pulse is "droping and rising to a percentage to--> (-/+)" which does clip too 1 and that is down a 10th from 20c "lets say" witch i said "c" that is from "C-rate" wich yes isnt anything to do with the tune but in way yes it rlly does have everything to do with allternatoing curent, wich is from the alternator and that is from "rmf" wich is the main supply but batteries is the alts supply too.. in order to up a field/turn on,turn off.. witch every thing has poles. (I am sorry ive said sooo soooo soooooo much tho in time if u understand this and see it or try to u will see how far off or bang on i could be but i talk in such a way with no "true propper terms" yet "the degree is there, and that is means which in real life means is "=" and in physics everything that "means" anything to a degree in force and electricity makes for percentege and degres and cutoff.. frequencies/ at which subs inside a "space the box is its fundemental freq which, if it is dual pole dual throw it wil make for that to be propper^ but all that has to be known. And im not saying u dont know, and im not saying "YOU LEARN THIS rIGHT nOW!!" Aha im stating the fake to the real which is physics wich is numbers which is e=mc^2 and ppl dont believeee it tho if its sameee loads both loads are clipping and wont see that they are cause they are dispersing everything evenly

Just subscribed please ✔️out my build. I almost wish I went with DB Drive instead of Resilient Sounds. Yes you have a Soundqubed amp like me. I have 2 Soundqubed S1-2250.1 amps strapped to 1ohms. Half ohms per amp.

Db drive designs and engineers their subs

Birch

Was thinking sbout these subs when seen the video but that 1200.00 price tag each thats a big negative ghost rider

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1099">18:19</a> to <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1106">18:26</a> LOL

Jagaling

Well for $1100 per sub they better be great. Most people won't be spending that amount for one sub or better $2200 for 2.

I bet one of the g7 12s would rip my Civic apart

How heavy

Db drive there is no point of comparison against sundown come on man 😂😂

Mdf blows, and ill die saying that 😂. Id rather stack osb lmao.

What alternator does your wife's edge have? Looking for information.

Sexy ass sub brother man... what size motor is that??

Bad ass sub ❤

It raised because u used lag bolts dummy !!!!.. lol

Hi, first time watching you, good presentation 👍 Thank You! (Subscribe) pronhub got me 😂
