More efficient, less power required for same avg db... no need to upgrade electrical ect. So there is always a use for lower build subs.

True. One of the reasons the JL W0-4was so popular for a while. Though was kinda underrated power wise at 125rms, still did good numbers in a lot of old school SPL comps. I would rather go with a better brand then Boss though if you want low power subs.

WOW! BOSS took a good stand on these tests. Not bad. Another good video sir. Keep these coming.

All about the box. Used to build boxes for friends and stuff and worked with loads of cheap gear. And in my experience if you build a good box cheap woofers hold up really well and can take good power, can easilly push double the wattage trough them if you avoid extended tones around tuning frequencies. I mean, Who listnens to music at 140db? If you do you won't for long anyway. You really don't have to spend thousands if you're not competing. Just invest in a good set of front speakers and a quality amp to push those and you can do crazy stuff for not much money.

You were cracking me up with the subtitles at the beginning of the video. I'm kind of surprised they lasted as long as they did. Good video, parker. Keep em coming!

You should've unscrewed covers for magnets. I wanted to see how big the magnet was. I think Parker didn't want to embarrass the company to badly lol. I agree maybe good for home theater or garage.

The subs are " meh " a select few amps are monsters in disguise. Just remember not everyone is looking to jack hammer the block with some " I brought the waaaaaaalk " 😂🤣 and I bet these would do very well behind a 600 watt amp in a daily set up for decent output, remember parker your used to 10,000 watts and some higher level competition stuff......do not ever forget where you came from bruh, I was there when you started😏

So an idea, should do a SPL build off with a chosen sub across the board (spin the wheel for a vote select list) and participants will have to build a box, amp choice is up to the builder, and do the dopest destruction of the subs to win. But it has to be done the Parker way. Same songs and all.
