@DBOOKIN208 do u know of any songs on u tube music or SoundCloud that are that low?

@DBOOKIN208 hell yeah thank u! Not had for just a dumb ass guy like myself building it for sure!! I learned everything I know from watching robot underground videos and now I have rebuilt quite a few subs and built this custom one here..I wish I could find videos on amplifier repair that where easy to learn as well..

@DBOOKIN208 no I have 2 EVL-18s in my home set up I've been running about 5 years now..I've also rebuilt 3 EVL-18s for other people..I RARELY ever blow a sub, but I do fry amplifiers lol...I've definitely fried more amps than I've blown subs lol..

@DBOOKIN208 the basket and parts I used for this build where all parts I already had did not have to buy anything..Just reused old parts from subs other people had given to me cause they did not want to rebuild them

@@DBOOKIN208 thanks!

@@DBOOKIN208 thank u!

@DBOOKIN208 my main amp right now is the crappy soundstreme txp6000.1 on top of the box inside the cab..It's supposed to just be a temp amp for now...I had ordered a DB WDX 5k but the seller was fake on ebay and I'm waiting for my refund to process..I have a soundstreme stealth 1200x4 under the passenger seat as well for the mids and highs

@DBOOKIN208 thanks!! Just need a better amp!

@@shippyshank_loves_carsandsound thanks!

@DBOOKIN208 thank u there's a bunch of videos on my channel with a trinity audio TAS-M18 in it a skar audio EVL-18 in it a comp yellow cone american bass 18 in it a skar SVR-18 in it and my custom built JL Audio W7 13.5 motor and coil on a EVL-18 basket with a carbon fiber cone mega roll surround and carbon fiber dust cap which is what is currently in the box now

@@DBOOKIN208 hell yeah!! Will look forward to your videos!

@devionstanfield507 the negative battery corrosion has been consistent since I bought the truck 8 years ago before the system..Truck has always had major electrical issues...Even replaced the BCM 3 different times..Now I just jump circuits over to another circuit when they fry..The 300 amp fuses u are correct..Technically I could run a 160 amp on the charging circuit..They where what I already had from previously running taramps garbage..3000 watt, so 300 amps of current draw by rule of thumb....Just reusing them because a fuse is better than no fuse at all kind of thing...Tweeters I'm actually extremely impressed with even in the locations there in is way to much highs they scream actually!!! I have them turned down all doors are -2 on my deck..Thank u for liking the center console it works great for carrying 4 large or 6 large drinks from sonic lol.....I was running previously 2 JBL club A1000.1 strapped as well, man do u get some good clean power when u strap some good monoblocks!!But I fried 2 diamond audio des1000.1 monoblocks that I tried strapping so pulled the JBL amps for my home set up...I have the JBL club A amps each on 3 american bass XO 15s now...Also if u would like any other type of audio related videos I can make please let me know and thank u for your advice and comment..Love audio especially car audio and it's hard to find anyone in my area that enjoys talking about car audio lol.

@devionstanfield507 my box is double baffled front facing bottom port..It's under the center console..I will upload a video of my box build to kind of give u a idea..Tuned 28-30 hz 5.5 cubic feet it is 28 inches if I remember correctly from the back wall

@devionstanfield507 just uploaded my box build title is custom box build for dodge ram

@devionstanfield507 well how should I change my content? I'm showing a subwoofer playing music? I'm not trying to out my ugly ass in front of the camera lol...What exactly would u recommend I do for audio content?

For me I suggest to get good mic that can deliver bass correctly❤ so anyone can enjoy listening 🎧​@@johnoates3326

@@johnoates3326try not to just show the subwoofer playing . Show how you installed it ,What it’s wired to, how the box looks on the inside . Maybe some car flex

@devionstanfield507 I will work on a video of everything over all in my system thank u for the advice

​@@johnoates3326 what is the name for the rap song sound super good

@@jonathanzl2944 in my opinion in everyway it outperforms it's original 13.5 size it's definitely a impressive 18" in my opinion

My cigarette lol

@@doodle9 diamond audio des1000.1

@Izakp that's good great idea u gave me thank u!!

Hopefully one of these days I will get a decent amplifier to push it..The one I have on it is to small I think

@@johnoates3326 yeah especially ohm rise now a days you need like a full beefed up electrical with a gaint amp just to power subs 😢

@Izakp I have 2 extra 1000cca batteries in my tool box dedicated to my monoblock amp..Also have my own charging circuit not controlled by the ecu..Basically wired a whole new charging circuit and added my own voltage regulator so the computer can not control or limit my charging..So I'm good on everything else..I would love to have a 3000 watt .5 ohm amplifier since this sub can be wired to .75 or 3 ohm..The amplifier I have is 1 ohm stable but it can not do the .75 ohm load..So yes right now box rise I'd definitely killing me since I'm wired to 3 and probably rising all the way to 8 ohms or higher more than likely

@@Izakp thank u!

@Izakp i took the sticker off a bluetooth speaker I built..I tried looking on ebay but could not find any audio decals I liked

@@johnoates3326 still looks good tho

@Izakp thanks! Yeah I had to take my time removing the sticker and I ripped the proud in 3 places so I had to be very careful gluing it to the dust cap lol 😆

@Izakp not sure what your trying to say

@@johnoates3326 the sticker to put on the cone so you can see it’s movement better

@Izakp oh yeah!! I did forget!! I need to find a good sticker 🤔 ..I need to find something I like to put on there..I think u are right the camera might pick up how much it's moving with one lol..I just got done putting the sub back together..I have a cheap amp that send alot of dirty power to it and from clipping it burned a tensel lead connection..

@Izakp sticker is on cone will upload a video in a little bit

Thank u!

Yeah it's not no where near as loud as the other subwoofers I've put in the box..But it flexes a lot..All 3 of the other subs I put in this box where a lot louder

Thank u!

Or like a sticker cause it’s hard to see it move. Great video though

@@Izakp great idea I will have to see if I can find one I like!

@Izakp I did put a sticker on the dust cap and will be uploading a video in about a hour or so

Idk was from FB when I made a reel

Thanks!!

Yes it is!

Not even close, don't get me wrong I like my EVL18s but it's not even comparable honestly..I really need a better amp though before I put anything else in my truck though..I want to put my trinity audio TAS-M18 back in..I need way more power and would like cleaner power than what I get from the soundstream txp6000.1

@@johnoates3326 to me it looks like it’s moving more but it might just be the cone and surround. A taramps smart could also be a pretty good amp btw 👍

@@Handlethatineedtouse no not for me I tried taramps and there not for me half bridge all the way for me personally

Thanks

Really cool little meter

That would of been a very long video to long

Sounds good to me..Was not hard to build

I took them off a RE subwoofer that was messed up..But u should be able to order them from ebay..Look up the seller lord of bass..Just search for carbon fiber cone on a mega roll surround..Then a 9 inch carbon fiber dust cap

Lord of bass doesn't sell 18 inch composite cones lol I talk to George alot

@annihilationindustries1990 there are 18" cones with mega roll surrounds on ebay type it in your search bar maybe a different seller..But if u read my previous comment I took the cone from another subwoofer I had that was blown

Ebay look up the seller lord of bass..Also u can learn everything u need to know watching robot underground videos here on utube..That's how I learned to build my own subwoofer..Never went to school for anything like this and had no experience either..That's the best advice I can give

@@johnoates3326 how good is that w7 18 in your opinion. Is it a big step from the 13.5 lol

@darkxd8366 yes in my opinion it definitely is..But I'm not a SQ guy bass is bass to me..It definitely moves way more air definitely rattles my truck way more...I mean even the doors flex from the outside of the truck when I have it on..For what I wanted yes definitely better..

@@darkxd8366 *Robot Underground* - Personally, I'd stay well away from that guy. Check people's experiences in the forums. He's been shown to be quite unreliable and a pain in the @ss to deal with. The market is flooded with good Commerical brands that offer great products, without the headache ... it's just that JL Audio isn't one of them! SQ or SPL, show me any meaningful competition winner where JL Audio drivers were involved?

There's plenty of videos I've uploaded recently that show how it performs as a 18".Also there's alot of companies that use the exact same motor on there 12-18" subwoofer line the motor is exactly the same from alot of companies

@@johnoates3326 I did not not so many company use the same motor/magnet setup that the W7 uses. In terms of performance I can never really tell much about SQ from KZfaq video's only if the subwoofer is loud and shakes a vehicle or not. Only you can tell me if there is a loss or gain in terms of SQ as your the only one that can actual hear it in person.

@user-oc5mb9xw7y no not alot of companies use the w7 motor, alot of other companies use the same motor for there 12-18" subwoofer line..They don't change anything..As far as SQ sounds like a subwoofer to me idk, not really a SQ guy myself..But it does good for bass which is what I built it for..

@@johnoates3326 Gotcha, thanks for the clarification that one is one me. Happy to hear your liking the sound.

I recently got a trinity audio TAS-M18 and its been amazing..Definitely get more than what u pay for!! VERY NICE SUB!! Never had FI, but u might get more than what u pay for if u check out trinity.650 oz motor 1 1/2 xmaxx pretty crazy subs

OK I feel like I do recognize that magnet off a W7. I had no idea you could Frankenstein subs like this. Where is the cone and dust cap from?

@@johnoates3326 yeah I just like the really high efficiency on the fi

@Jameskelvin89 I tore down another 18" for the cone and dust cap...That sub was a RE audio..But these dust caps and cones can be bought on ebay from lord of bass as well...Carbon fiber cone with mega roll surround..Carbon fiber dust cap 9 inch

@johnoates3326 I'm definitely loving the cone and dust cap, not sure why but that style cone I feel like provides a more focused punch on those quick low notes.

I built the box and yes it was a cheap amplifier board out out another unit..Back speakers where from a cerwin vega center speaker for home theater..front speakers where cheap computer speakers..Unfortunately I built the box and it does not come apart..I would have to carefully take a speaker out and hope to get a picture of the guts in order to try to show u the inside

@@johnoates3326 its ok, I get it. Don't mess it up it too cool. Will dig in my box of goodies.

@CORYJOHNM honestly I build alot of these type of speakers whenever I get bored, I'm always tearing something apart to make into something else..I did not know there where people like me who enjoyed doing that as well

There's definitely a few I've already posted..But just for u I will make another new one and post it again

I just uploaded another video showing the whole subwoofer

@@johnoates3326 checking it out now.

Did you go ti basket. I built two of these a couple years ago and due to life crap they have been sitting waiting to be installed. I used 4 layer linear spiders so they are stiff as he'll. With some long bolts you can reuse the w7 terminals on a ti basket. I wanted to get some w7 18 stickers made for them but never got around to it.

@sinstarjones5873 no, I just used parts from other subwoofers I already had laying around..I used a skar EVL-18 basket, so my spider landing is a good amount smaller than a TI basket..If I remember correctly I have a 9" spider landing on the EVL-18..I believe the TI basket is a 12" spider landing..which is great and better u will get more excursion with the TI basket..I also reused a spider from a RE subwoofer that was a 3 inch voicecoil opening..I just carefully cut it out a little bigger to fit the 3.5" voicecoil I needed for the JL coil

Very easily fit it's not very big at all

I put a 20v lithium battery on it today

Honestly was not very hard to build, im sure u could build one..I'm still surprised how good it turned out especially since I built it lol..

I have uploaded a few new videos where it's in my truck getting 2600-2800 rms..I'm clamping between 270- 290 amps of current at 1 ohm and it's flexing like crazy

Thanks!

I have the fans running off a Xbox 360 power supply, it is on the same 120v wall outlet though..It was easier to do it that way since I added in the fans after I built the rack and did the wiring for it

@@johnoates3326 Nice, thanks for the input. I will do something similar for my receiver

It's fun and easy u would enjoy it I'm sure

@@johnoates3326 a good basket and motor could be the brickhouse from blackbrick. They have a gaint discount since there going out of business. A 3000w rms 15 for only 300 bucks is crazy

Honesty I have no idea

Yes 3.5 inch coil and 1.5 ohm dual coil
