Yeah, it makes me wonder about the accuracy of this new stick-on or sit-on-the-passenger floor SPL meters, as compared to the high-dollar handheld units that were used for IASCA comps back in the day. It took me having 6 JL 12s on an Orion 2100HCCA to break 145 at the dash...but then again that was also going by the rules and using "Flashdance" as the song to measure SPL, which was not a bass-heavy song by any stretch of the imagination!

Big D, thanks for this video. You always go the extra mile to show what the speaker can handle. This just shows that even for a half way beginner I can just plug and play with a system like this for the wife. My kids love the bass. My 15 month old son was listening to bass even in the belly and now he can't get enough of it and even crys if the music is playing and the sub that I have is turned down. Keep up the good videos man. Can watch these all day.

I’ve been out of the game for a few years, I always ran Kicker stuff but figured I’d give skar a try this time around, almost seemed too good to be true for the money. The dual 12 SDR package slams so hard and with skars big 3 kit everything was less than $500 and less then I would have spent on comparable kicker stuff. Love it!

Home theater is gonna be bangin! A couple of those Dayton Audio high power plate amps will be plenty of power to shake the pictures off the walls.

Pretty fun to see what some subs can do not even on full power, last time measured my system it was with a b2 18hnv1 and a b2 zero.7, and on around 1200 rms i did 147.1 db in just a self builded box on 55 hz 😂, so i can't wait to upgrade my electrical system for the full power of the zero.7 amp 🤤

Man one of my favorite vids don’t know why. Now I really was 2 -18’s

That’s a real deal for the money. Look at the gauge of metal used to connect the tinsil leads,ofc wire inside which allot off companies don’t.can’t beat this deal,I installed a skar audio 18 zvx18v2 1600 watt Rms in an suv and let me tell you so dang loud and clear!that woofer cost $600 but you can get them now for about $489. God bless y’all!

Nice!!! I already have the jp8. I will start with one of the scar 18s with box. That's a awesome deal for now and see where that takes me. I have a 2008 dodge magnum it should sound good in there.

The Skar Spx-65c components are fantastic They claim 200 watt peak but I just have them powered from the headunit and they are still very loud and crystal clear two thumbs up from me

Ok, this video was great! Loved every second of it. Those 18's move alot and look very efficient. I think SKAR makes a very nice prefab box, also. Those JP amps are so pretty. These look even good for home audio!

After the box and amp rack he had literally just enough room right at the edge of the trunk to fit his backpack and skateboard. Had a 3.25 cubic ft box and the amp rack had to fit his pioneer 4 channel, skar sub amp, and his LC7i so after all that was put together and in the trunk that’s all the room he had left 😂

@Dereck, it might be interesting to see how a Skar SDR-15 or 12 in a similar box would compare in output, Fs, efficiency, power handling, etc. Not many people are willing to give up the entire hatch in their SUV. Smaller sub/box combo with similar output would be more attractive to most bass hobbyists.

Best part is even with a small low wattage motor with that much cone area it's so efficient in an SUV 2 on a 1200 or 1500w amp it would jam out! Serious thump!

this is not the way to go at all . upgrade to a better skar sub . the vxf is one of the best sounding subs out there . tune your box to 44hz and hold on for perma smile . 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

@@craigengelman4534 Why 44hz? Most people tune to the FS of the sub, 44hz is the FS of an 8in woofer not an 18.

ZVX-18 bro! $657.71 after taxes for the ZVX-18 + the box in this video. Or go for 2 of the DDX-15s!

@@whatta7793 For that price you could get the soundstream X5.-15. Its their team sub that handles 3500 watts rms. Online car stereo has them for under $600 if I remember correctly

One of these on 1200 rms amp , powerbass xma-1205d. Tuned to deliver a peak of 600 watts with no clipping in a 3.5 ft3 enclosure tuned to 32 hz gave me a whole 2 days before crapping out. It still works but anything over 450 ish watts and it's just cracking and sounding like garbage.

Yep these are straight up garbage. I would rather have to sundown lcs subs. I'm still throwing 750 watts rms each at mine for 4 years now.

Nice Big D 2 of those with a Skar 1200 amp. Budget Banger

Hi! can you dyno the Gladen 3200c1 amp it has a clip limiter integrated... 👀👍

Damn...that's nuts. I have 2 EVL-18 D4 subs on a RP 2000.1 amp and I barely break 146 with the drivers window open in a f150 crewcab. I built a custom 8 cube box that fits under the back seat which I raised up 6 inches. Charging system is still stock so that doesn't help any - lol. I plan on doing a wall with 4 subs and 10k someday. Gotta build up funds and improve the power system first.

I have the same amp. You need all 1/0 gauge ofc wire including big 3 upgrade minimum in order for it to shine, but it will.

If the ports were on the bottom would that have made a noticeable difference?

Cool video! I was expecting the sensitivity to be much higher. Similar size magnet to a 90’s Cerwin Vega or Lanzar sub… but those had sensitivity up around 94-95 db.

These get really loud with 200W so the in box sensitivity is high

I shake my house with one on a cobalt260.

If it's possible if you have the chance could you check out that skar audio has 2 new subwoofer boxs types out??

What amp would u recommend for a Mtx 7500 thunder ?

I am impressed. No joke. Yeah, it's inexpensive but, the quality items they DID provide are 👍. And the performance you can get from that thing?- for THAT price? CRAZY GOOD DEAL. (IF you have the room 😉)

just asking is the bass note deeper? don't care how loud it gets.
