Welcome to the DIY SUBWOOFER NETWORK!

Here we learn how to turn a pile of wood and raw speaker drivers into complete subwoofer systems for home, car, and anything in between.  We use this blog to post detailed instructions, plans, and build logs. As well as technical articles written for everyone from beginners to experts.


The DIY Subwoofer Network is a resource for anybody that is into subwoofers.  Our primary focus here is on subwoofers. But we also dabble in other things you need to make a subwoofer work, like amplifiers, tools and speaker wire.  

If you want to learn more about speakers in general, we partner with the DIY Audio Guy.  Check him out out his You Tube Channel!

Custom Subwoofer Enclosure Designs

Image
We now offer custom enclosure design services!    The first stage of the box design is to  click right here and complete this google form .   If I have any questions I will send you an e-mail, if not then I will send you an invoice.  I require 50% up front before I start the design.  What do you get when you order a custom design? A box designed for your needs, and plans based on your tools and skills.    A Custom Designed Slot Port Complete computer modeling, based on your specific subwoofer . Before drawing up plans I model the box, including including the frequency response, the port airspeed velocity, and the cone excursion.  This will let us know if the box you want is the box you need.  Since there is no perfect box you will know the compromises that went into the design phase and the consequences of those compromises.  For those that want a no-compromises enclosure you need a dose of reality, or you need to find somebody else to design your enclosure.   Complete plans with di

Bass on a Budget

Image
All builds are budget builds, budgets are just different.  Here are four budgets and some gear that will get you the bass you crave.  Make sure you check out the end of the article for a few caveats*.   $300 Amazon Build For this build we are going with a single 12" instead of an 8" or 10".  Cone area is king.    Enclosure:  SKAR Audio SK1X12V      $94 Sub:  SKAR Audio SDR-12 D2             $90 Amp:  LEGIS Audio 500.1 D                  $66 Wire: Recoil OFC 8 Gauge Kit                $50 LEGIS Audio 500.1 D   That puts us right at $300 before taxes, most of it is on amazon, so shipping is free for prime members. I have personally reviewed the SKAR box and the LEGIS amp.  If you go this route pay close attention to the subwoofer and the amp.  Make sure you get the dual 2 ohm sub.  Wire the two connections in parallel to get the most power out of the amp.  When looking at the amp LEGIS also has a "1600 watt" version for the same price.  Look at the fuses.  The
