Hi everyone! Thanks for tuning in to this project of mine, I hope you'll like it and perhaps try to build it yourself! As always I have included a detailed list of modified plans, a wiring diagram, product links and much more for your information on the build. I encourage you to check my video first before diving in to the build. Let's get started!

The main goal for this project was to build a subwoofer that would play pretty low and would have an integrated amplifier capable of powering two other speakers all cramped inside a relatively compact enclosure. Fiddling around with various woofers in winISD I have decided to go with a Tang Band woofer and a 2.1 amplifier for best results. As you can see by the graph, the enclosure is tuned to 43Hz and has an F3 of around 37Hz which is pretty amazing considering the price of the woofer and the compact enclosure that it needs. Of course it will not play that low cleanly due to port noise and possible chuffing but will still perform great.

As you can see below, I have attached a set of plans, metric and imperial for all needs. You will also find the template for the control panel in the end of the plans which you can print out and glue to a piece of wood to have an accurately made control panel. Feel free to download the plans and the wiring diagram for your personal use. I would love to see how your project turned out!

Note that I have modified the plans therefore the speaker may look different than in the video. I have modified the plans to use less components and be easier to build with an overall better design.

You may have noticed that there are less components in the wiring diagram compared to the video. I did so to reduce the number of the components used and simplify the overall build process of the subwoofer. I have also used a similar amplifier that has the Bluetooth built in so that you don't need a separate module for that. Here you will find the complete list of parts and tools used for the build. Note that the parts can be ordered internationally.

I am more than happy this subwoofer turned out. It packs a punch and is definitely powerful enough for home use. It can also output plenty of power to various different speakers for the best listening experience.

I hope you liked this project and perhaps learned something new! My hopes are that you will give this build a try yourself and post it at the end of the Instructable so that me and others can admire your work! Feel free to post any questions or comments down below, I will try my best to answer them.

Thank you for tuning in to this project of mine and I will see you on the next one!
