Today, Mr. Spaghetti discovers that his 1800 noodle ravioli is worth every penne.

So the top is called a ‘passive radiator’ which works off the pressure created by the sub below...that being said this is kinda embarrassing for the price. Literally $100 in parts priced at $1400 cause it needs to be fitted to a Ferrari.

When rob pulled out those boss subs I gave up all hope

Boss Audio in a Ferrari! I HAVE LITERALLY HEARD IT ALL NOW

Rob: gets new sub woofer in his Ferrari Also Rob: Plays Vanilla Ice on full blast at a stop light.

I need to start writing "ferrari" on everything I sell. I can then move the decimal point twice to the right.

0:55 With the ongoing pandemic situation, Rob still has hopes of getting his Adventure Drives a success in July.

Rob your speaker that isn't hooked up is called a "Passive radiator"... It is used in conjunction with the other actual speaker and vibrates in the same enclosure...

Owns a ferrari, puts the words worst speaker company products in it 😂😂

Passive radiator is used in a speaker box that is to small and does not have the air volume necessary to operate the speaker properly. When the speaker excursion goes in the box the passive radiator is pushed outwards allowing for additional air movement. It allows for better bass while having a tighter thump.

The top "speaker" is a Passive radiator which is an alternative to having a tuned hole for bass so that top "speaker" is necessary for the best quality audio

Rob, ex-car audio store owner and MECP installer here. The Ferrari is a pain but there are two options. The hard way, and the harder way. Doing an “amp bypass” and using existing wiring, soing an amp bypass and installing new wiring, while using the stock head and an aftermarket amp and speakers - or a complete swapout. Point is, you can use what you have if you bypass it depending on what you keep. Integrated security head units caused us to have to put the factory radio deep in the dash and leave it hooked up while installing a bypassed system parallel to it so the factory security and door locks still work. Honda started it in the late 90’s. We simply clipped the speaker wires, left the power to the head unit, and folded it back in the dash - putting the new radio in it’s place. Let me know if you need any help and I’ll counsel you on bypassing and keeping your factory security on any of your cars.

BOSS speakers, really? 🤦‍♂️

Sure I'd watch you clean out your car. At this point in the quarantine I'd watch someone eat a sandwich.

That top speaker is called a passive radiator and believe me if you wanna see a horrible car sound system check out BMW's

Boss speakers in that car?? Ohhh you should have called me first Rob. 🤪😃

In many speaker systems there is a "speaker" without a coil behind it so it looks useless, but if it's in the same enclosure as an active subwoofer it moves according to the pressure variations in the enclosure, so it does actually work. It has been intentionally designed like that.

passive radiator!! as mentioned a million times already lol

Today, Rob Spaghetti gets his audio noodles in a twist and special sauce doesn't fix the issue 🤨

Really cranking out the content and keeping me partially sane in these crazy times! Keep up the great work Rob, best channel on the tube!

Silly Rob, there’s not enough seats in the C8 for all 4 of us!!

I haven’t seen cones fall apart like that since the ice cream truck stopped coming through my neighborhood.

That top "speaker" is used as part of the enclosure to enhance the bass. The bottom is the actual "woofer"

Mr. Spaghetti, during this time of quarantine, please upload all the old superspeeder dvds to youtube so we have something actually worth watching.

The only sound quality I thought Ferrari was known for was out of the exhaust pipes.

That’s nothing... I paid $1300.00 for the PDR in my 2019 Camaro and it records in 720p!!!

next time go to crutchfield and put in your car then it’ll tell you what size woofers. then cross reference that with ones on amazon ebay whatever

+1 respect for the sponsor message, Rob. Great cause to support.

Very very funny video for some reason,robs expressions were priceless as he took apart the speakers

Rob : “There is some sort of amplifier in there.... but who’s knows, maybe it’s a brick” 😂😂😂😂

I was gonna say that's a passive radiator, but a bunch of folks beat me to it. On an upside, my 05 Merc SL500's sound system ROCKS. NEVER had a better car sterio than this!! And I got a Caddy CTS with a Delco-Bose system; it rocks, but the COMAND system in my Benz BLOWS it away!!!

Rob, that top sub is a passive radiator. It relies on the energy of the second subwoofer to drive it. It works like a ported enclosure, but using less space. It isn't supposed to be wired, nor does it have a magnet or coil. It's a weighted foam panel with a foam or rubber suspension allowing it to move with the compression of air in the sealed box.

Holy shit, this is the first omaze I might actually donate to (usually just do a free entry for fun). So cool Rob, love it.

Best speakers. Volvo S60R. Dynaudio. Amazing speakers

I want a 24h video of you imitating the speaker at 3:08. At this point being stuck at home, sure, I’d watch it.

Top one is called a passive radiator, it is moved by the air movement of the other speaker

I distinctly remember NYC having at least 2-3 "Auto Sound + Security" shops in every borough where they will know what a passive radiator is, or how to wire a double coil speaker...

It's a 5.25 inch woofer driver, and the other one is a resonator.

Hi Rob. Before you order the speakers you should remove the damaged one, and check the resistance of the speaker as you should get the same as the current speaker (the amp should also have the info). The problem with the speaker is the rubber on the speaker that connects the paper cone to the body has rotted. The one you initially thought was a speaker could be just a way to amplify the sound from the back of the sub-woofer. Most bookshelf and full size speakers will have at least one hole in the body of the speaker for this purpose. I am guessing that some Italian bloke thought it would not be stylish enough to have a hole in the trim and decided to instead use a fake speaker.

Today, Mr. Spaghetti 🍝 teaches you the difference between a amp bypass and antipasto

I'd go to parts express and work with those guys to spec drivers that will work there. You can't just throw any sub in any hole and hope it will work. And PE has very reasonable prices. They also have passive radiators, which may be required there to make the T-S parameters play nice. A single sealed driver and block off may also work. Regardless, you're in over your head to just buy drivers and throw them in there.

MISCHIEF 3000!!!!!! YOUR A BEAST ROB!!

It’s called a passive subwoofer meaning it isnt powered. Passive speakers are used on sealed enclosures and they move because of the change in pressure in the enclosure as the powered sub moves. It’s usually a money saving thing though and completely unacceptable for $1,850 let alone on a damn Ferrari!

Sitting through 90 seconds of Rob unscrewing that "speaker" to then have it fall out so unceremoniously just produced the biggest laugh I've had in days.

It’s a “passive radiator” to allow air to fluctuate it think, kicker has the same thing going on

Broh you get what you pay for always get top notch with sound

What you touched in the car is actually a passive radiator... It is not a speaker by itself but works together with another speaker, especially smaller ones, to give them more surface area and move more air. The other one looks like the surround dry rotted due to heat. Hope you get something that makes you happy to replace it. You might have problems putting two speakers in a box only designed for one and a passive radiator. Experiment with one vs two.

oh man, ive been dreaming about going back to jackson hole!!! I went when i was 15 and i remember driving the snowmobile thru the mountains to get to the hot springs.

I pissed myself laughing at that moment you pulled that speaker out

On the bright side, no one will steal Feretti's stereo

As an additional point to the passive radiator comments, if you now decide to buy another subwoofer make sure you also buy A MATCHING PASSIVE RADIATOR. If your new sub is ill-fitted to the existing radiator, not only will it sound worse than with a matching one, but it will actually sound worse than if you simply took a piece of MDF and sealed the upper hole. There are good resources on what fits what on the web, and it generally just comes down to matching volume displacement, mass and resonant frequencies.

The factory speakers with foam surrounds (in basically every car up until recently) dry out and fall apart when they're 8-12 years old. They all do it. Bose, Harmon, Pioneer, Blaupunkt, etc. The newer ones that are all-plastic basically last forever.

The wheels on that Bentley tho, love them! greetz from Holland

That looks on par with the factory speakers I pulled out of my 2013 Camaro poverty spec base model, all cracked and falling apart after just 7 years. The other issue is that passive radiators create a sound wave that is 180 degrees out of phase from the other driver in the enclosure. You're increasing your efficiency by using energy that would otherwise be mostly wasted, but at certain frequencies, those sound waves cancel each other out. Not a fan of passive setups. If you have room for two drivers and can vent them, just use two drivers running in the same phase.

As previously said, the upper one is a passive radiator. It's basically the equivalent of a port in other subwoofer systems, but can be more compact. The foam surrounds like that are known for going bad, though that is kind of new for that to be happening. They can be replaced if you're dedicated to keeping it original. It also looks as though that subwoofer is a dual voice coil thing, so the amplifier is likely a stereo amplifier and it mixes the channels together at the speaker. Radio Shack did that with some of their passive subwoofers, to name an example, but it is odd to see an active one doing that.

Today, Mr Spaghettios discovers what a passive subwoffer is.

Lmao his reaction finding about a passive radiator 😂😓☠️☠️

Yo don't know if it's been mentioned but that top grille is called a passive radiator and it enhancesthe sound through magic. Dunno if it's been said but yeah that's a Passive radiator. It's there to enhance sound. Thats the job of the passive radiator you see; to enhance the sound. Anyway now you know that it's a passive radiator, and it's there to enhance the sound. just didn't know if it'd been said or not.

My sub fell apart like the bottom one did, for 20 bucks I was able to buy the rubber part that connects the cone with the side of the speaker keeping it oem so I didn’t have to mess with speaker size or rewiring. Took 5 minutes to glue on with the included glue and 24 hours to dry and it works good as new. Happens with convertibles because the exposure to the sun.

That’s a passive driver. My old Logitech Z523 that I just sold had one.

That sub is a dual voice coil (DVC) unit. You'll need to find another one like it, plus a passive radiator, or just replace the sub and passive with a pair of regular single-coil drivers. Measure the resistance of the coils on the old sub with an ohmmeter. A 4-ohm nominal coil will measure around 2.5 to 3.5 ohms, and an 8-ohm nominal coil will measure around 5.5 to 7.5 ohms. The replacement driver(s) should have the same nominal rating. You can also have the original drivers refoamed, or try it yourself. That'll preserve the original sound.

A passive radiator is a legit component for a subwoofer enclosure. It served a similar function to a port and can be tuned with weight to work quite well. In some ways it's better than a port in that stuff can't get inside the enclosure. Having said all of that, yes, it's a shit system and you got hosed.

No speaker but packed with pure Ferrari air.Makes me want a Ferrari.

so that top "subwoofer" is actually called a passive radiator it helps with bass production in smaller subwoofers. if you wanted to you could get two subwoofers and connect them together for more bass or you would just buy i believe a 6.5" passive radiator and a 6.5 subwoofer. (watts to very depending on the stock system so make sure to try and get one rated for at least 200-300 watts so you dont over power it)

the top was a passive radiator, which is required for any subwoofer enclosure. The subs move a lot of air, and take a lot of power, which is why there was also an additional amplifier for it. As for them charging $1,800 for it, that's because it had the Ferrari name on it. Anywhere else it would have been around a buck fifty.

Phillips Magnavox used them for a while. It's basically a baffle designed to give expansion to an enclosure for deeper bass. Downside is that they really don't make it any louder than it was.

Thank You Rob for the Team Rubicon Charity support! I live in Seattle area and would love to meet you and Matt and others! I wish I could go on this trip, maybe another time. I hope to see you all when you come up to WA.

As a bunch of other ppl have said it's a passive radiator, I prefer them to a ported box. You get the tunability of a port (by changing the weight) without the windy port noise

The second "speaker" was a bass reflex damper it is used like a port but in a sealed box. You have seen them in things like those cove speakers. The thing up top they call a subwoofer us just a damper.

Mr. Spaghetti gets his mind blown by Ferrari

A passive radiator should be 1/3rd the size of a speaker. That's why enclosed speakers have radiated mesh but exposed subwoofers have a hole to allow them an airflow. The above "speaker" was just to justify an aesthetic. Basically what you bought was a Daewoo with a beautiful engine

Boss speakers for your Ferrari yep that's Mr. Spaghetti

Another 918 in the garage mannnnnnn

You need to meter the speaker to test the Ohms or look up what the Ohm replacement is, then get the speaker that's a woofer not a coax speaker with a tweeter! If you replace the speaker with different Ohm it might blow the amp!

The top is called a passive radiator. The bottom would be an actual speaker. A passive radiator allows the speaker box's internal dimensions to be dynamic depending on the type of bass required. Fast bass like techno would need a smaller internal size versus deeper slower bass requires a larger box. Usually the passive radiator is a larger diameter as to not over extend it's throw.

Like everyone else said, the top one is a passive radiator and after a quick search on Ferrarichat, it seems that this kind of failure is fairly common in these speakers because of higher humidity since they have paper cones. One person suggested having them rebuilt as many rebuilders will use better materials what what was originally used which can improve the sound quality as a result

Even if it has an amp that package should've been $500 max.

Many years ago I had a 1990 Toyota sedan with passive radiators. The ‘live sound’ option definitely wasn’t $1800. Interesting to note is Mercedes uses a smaller version of the sub as a centre speaker in the Sprinter.

The size of the speakers are 5” speakers

The top driver just looks like a passive radiator. Doing this allows them to get better bass response out of the single subwoofer below it. The air movement from the subwoofer in the enclosure moves the passive radiator as if it were powered. (Very basic explanation.)

Mr. Spaghetti got Finessed

The top one is whats called a passive radiator. it suffered from foam rot, which is common in old gear.

Part number for the the bottom loudspeaker is 188610, the top passive one is 188609. Most of the ferrari part numbers tend to be 6 digits from what I've seen at my dealership.

You need to keep the non speaker it’s for air movement. Unless you want to drill a 3 inch hole. If you need burn out tires world wide distribution (they are a couple miles away) has the cheapest tires

Ferrari sound system is putting the windows down & pedal to medal

The empty "speaker" is for low frequency sound to escape from behind the sub sort of a acoustic box type deal just have the sub re coned and it should sound great

Today bob berreti uncovers uncooked spaghetti in the ferreti

I think that not a speaker speaker is a passive radiator, it expands and gives room for the subs to "breathe" it’s what people call subwoofers on their portable speakers such as the kove ones

What you where pushing on is a passive radiator I think. They have those in high end studio monitors as well.

I used to fit my own audio systems as you can do way better than the manufacturer for half the price. However, the last 2 BMW's I have had, the premium audio package from the factory has been absolutely superb, to the point that there is literally nothing that I feel needs upgrading.

I'm from vacouver and trust me that drive is incredible

Boss audio? Sheesh you could've just gone to freaking Walmart Rob. Best Buy carries stuff, JBL, Clarion, Sony. What the hell Rob!

The top one (as someone else already said) is a Passive Radiator. The bottom one (which actually IS the subwoofer) you're probably better off sending to an audio shop and having them redo the rubber surround (the part that deteriorated). You'll make sure that impedance stays matched and also that other measurements (Qt, VAS, etc.) stay matched up for the enclosure size. Impedance is the one I'd be most worried about though (that maybe ferrari uses a non standard impedance sub and if so, something mismatched could potentially damage the amp(s)). You should be able to get that surround redone for probably $30 and even the whole speaker rebuilt (voice coil redone as well) for under $100 if necessary. And then you can also claim it's still all F original..

Bet my 1999 Buick Regal GSE with the Monsoon stereo is better than the system in that 360

Sometimes behind the cover the actual mounting plate hold a smaller speaker and the aftermarket put a bigger speaker in the same sized mounting plate.

The reason the passive radiator fell off is something call foam rot, after years the foam will degrade and eventually if you push its limits the foam surround will peel off or fly off and will literally disintegrate when pinching it or stepping on it. Which is why it sounded sh*t when you played music

Rob, at $1900 for the upgraded HiFi (even though it sucks) is a bargain for a new Ferrari. The Bose HiFi option on my 430 was $7400. It’s called the Ferrari Tax, which I’m sure you know from the 488, has only gotten worse. I read the other day Ferrari makes $94,000 average profit per car. Pretty easy when just adding Apple Car Play is a $4000 option.

Boss audio in a Ferrari!

13:29 loool yeah that's supposed to be connected to the outer lip, speakers not gunna move much air if there's no seal. That passive radiator was probably only intact because it wasn't moving at all. I've seen blown and rotted speakers before, but that's crazy blown there's almost no trace of the lip left 😂
