Whats your opinion on Renegade subs? I've got an rxv1200 supposed to take 300wrms, but at 10a drawn by the amp it sounds "empty" and loses output the more I give it from there. I guess thats what you call distortion? It looks very similar to this blaupunkt in terms of magnet sizr and beefyness. What do think it can handle? And what would be the first sign of overpowering, temps, smoke and smell, bottoming out, or distortion?

Why big dummy

I’m old enough to remember Blaupunkt was a pretty amazing piece of gear in your car. Unfortunately like so many things it’s now just a brand.

Would an encloser properly tuned to the parameters of the particular driver increase its power handling capabilty, or just help out with over excursion?

I really liked this video. 1. It was in 4K. Awesome idea. We need more 4K video of this stuff. The quality and bit rate were excellent. 2. You pushed the most budget sub ever to its limit. Like the "budget gem" thing you and Ryan highlight with amps, it would be cool to see how much you can get out supposedly junk Walmart/flee market subs. My only constructive criticism: every time Blaupunkt gets mentioned, I think there should be a disclaimer about how they used to be one of the greats in audio. I hate to think there are people who's only knowledge of Blaupunkt is this mass produced, sweatshop stuff, that's no where to the same company from 30 years ago.

What brand sub amp is the most efficient at low impedance?

I couldn't read it that well, so how many watts could it handle before it blew up? Thanks in adv.

I think it did reasonably well for it's price. Got me curious, so it modeled up in WinISD. The parameters look like a compliance controlled driver, and WinISD agreed suggesting a sealed 1.5cu^ft box - so I'll stick with that. Seeing a compliance controlled driver at this price point is very unusual. They don't list xmax or xlim (missing too many Thiele-Small parameter), but I'm feeling pretty confident that it doesn't have 1/2" excursion capability to handle 400W RMS @ 45hz (the natural -3db it would roll off in said box), let alone 11/16" through 3/4" at 30hz... Probably best suited for a 150~200W RMS amp (150W I think would push it pretty close to my best guess of reasonable xmax and xlim). The group delay numbers look nice and tight - again, that's extremely surprising at this price point and far from what I was expecting. Based on what I can analyze, it theoretically should make for some pretty tight bass although very quiet sub in said box. I can est. about 108db output at 150W (not taking into account cabin gain) - which should work okay in a paired set with most factory radio setups. Very fun watching it blow up. Keep up the great content! :-)

I'm convinced though that it just wouldn't last that long / take abuse like a JL product could... I suppose if the end use was extremely careful, but I've just not seen a lot of lower cost subs take longterm abuse. There's always the one off's however and maybe I'm wrong, but I've never had issues with JL Audio, RF, Kicker...

@@07wrxtr1 I agree, I don't think it'll be a good long term sub, esp for more demanding users (I know it wouldn't last for me). I was looking at it more closely for s*t and giggles - plug the Thiele-Small Parameters into the software and see what happens when I look at the resulting default model. I don't think it's exactly awful for some installs from a $20 value perspective. But I certainly am not or would I ever imply it's a high quality sub like a JL, Rockford, etc. - it is in fact quite limiting from my perspective.

Williston Audio Labs I’m not hating. Just should’ve ran them with an amp that’s compatible and shown what they can do before you just shredded it. They are a good sub for a low budget build.

I have the 10 inch version of that Blaupunkt sub driving it with a Blaupunkt 560w rms class D amp. I am still pleased with it a year later for a budget sub situation.

What would happen to the blaupunkt subwoofer if you ran it off a Taraamps hd10000 10,000 watt car amplifier in bridged mode

I have an old Blaupunkt Velocity V7000 amp from the mid 90's. They were built in the US at Rocktron's pro audio factory. It had anti-clipping circuitry built in. Still have one of the two I bought. May run a three-way active setup with it (if it still works)!

1.2 cu/ft sealed or around 1.5 ported.

To all the "german brand" comments: Blaupunkt is made in China for many years now. In the 2000's they sell licences to let china produce cheap stuff with theyr name on it (what you normally do when you cant produce as cheap as the chineese do but you have a name that people trust, like its the last chance to keep the Brand alive) The brand got bankrupt in 2016. China still produce this Kind of electronics. Sorry for my Bad englisch :)

@@JB-wq6yi Remember how serious Nakamichi was in the 80's? Right before Sears went under, the Nakamichi name was revived and found in their stores in the form of $10 headphones and $20 soundbars , and even that was too much $ for the absolute shit quality you got in return. That one, for myself anyway, is the worst but also best example of the point you're making.

I had an American Bass 12 I got for like 70 bucks on Amazon, read the spec sheet and saw 600 watts but didn't realize it was the peak rating. I was pounding it with a 1k rms rated amp for good 4 months, it would get smelly from time to time. Started noticing it would make some weird sounds at certain frequencies, but others were loud and clear. I ended up replacing it but the sub still plays. Just sounds off on certain notes. I was dumbfounded as to what could have caused it. I've never had a sub react like that.

@@Zack-dk3pt I was definitely impressed by the quality of sound I got out of the woofer, and it took over 2x it's power rating for a good 6 months before I started noticing any problems. I'm pretty sure the issue was a voltage drop from having a bad battery in my system anyways. I replaced it and I'm running a Memphis mojo5 12 now on about 1500 rms. It's also in too small of an enclosure because I have it in the box for the AB 12. Can't wait to build a new box for it 😂😂😂

Big D, what are the specs on that Gately enclosure?

Its worth more than 20, it can handle 500 watts easily till a long time.

Williston Audio Labs, I've tried setting up a home-made bench like yours. I'm using a spare 12V group 24 battery and a 12V charger to keep it topped off. However I'm getting a lot of ground noise (~60hz continuous noise) through the sub. My power/ground are identical 8ga runs that are ~18" long for the amp that's only ~300W RMS. Ever experienced issues with ground loop noise on your test bench? Any ideas?
