DIY - Pro Audio Plate Amplifier Powered Subwoofer

Today we are building a home theater subwoofer that exactly looks like the very popular SVS PB-2000 Pro subwoofer. We copy everything from the flared front-firing ports, the dark oak veneer skin, and the corner edge contour look and feel, just one exception is the subwoofer driver.

Main components used are the following:
1. Champion Series Pioneer TS-W1212S4 / TS-W12S4 Single 4 Ohm Subwoofer
2. NTBD Pro 1500DT 1500w Subwoofer Plate Professional Audio Class D Amplifier

Building a subwoofer that replicates the appearance and performance of a commercial product like the SVS PB-2000 Pro involves several considerations, including design, materials, and electronics. Keep in mind that building a subwoofer requires technical skills, and if you're not experienced in woodworking, electronics, and speaker design, it's recommended to seek assistance or purchase a pre-built unit.

Enclosure is entirely made of MDF. Most tasks are just circular saw cutting and router edge rounding. The trickiest part of the project is adhering the Chinese-made plastic veneer. It supposed to be a synthetic wood veneer but the product is so inferior, its thickness is just about a piece of paper, leaving several imperfections.

By the way here's the link to TinkerCad 3D object for dimensions:

The plate amplifier was flush-mounted at the back panel of the enclosure. Bringing out the aesthetics of the overall product. Professional grade amplifiers are equipped with XLR connectors on low-level inputs as well as the AC power inputs. You may also noticed that I removed one of the diagonal interior bracing due to its blocking the path of one of the ports.

I hope you enjoy the video and I hope you find our cute little French bulldogs who "does a help" in making the indoor powered subwoofer with ultra cuteness!

I think that is all for today's episode, stay tuned and watch the next video where I bass test this project into oblivion!
