The fact that they can offer a sub above 1000rms for a low price is great. I'm 52 and back in the early 90s when I got into car audio low price high rms sub was unheard of. You kids nowadays have it easy when it comes to car audio.

It's only the basket that's the same, Dayton used it as well. But these are solid subs. wlldse has been around fur years.

You guys have to realize all your subwoofers and amps come from mostly the same build houses in china. All these companies do is pick from a catalog and they are made, that's why so many of them look the same with slight differences. Big companies like Sundown,DC,Fi design their own baskets,surrounds,motors..ect and thats why they are superior to other brands and everybody tries to copy.

Good to see an economical choice 👍 Been looking at these for 1.5 yrs or so... Thanks for doing the torture test 🙂 Parker

Great video Parker! I would love to see you try out a colossal sounds ultra series those subs are some beasts!

I had the 10s back in 2019. A great product for the money.

11:30 fun fact: the real Parker The Basshead reviews are his facial expressions as the bigger the smile, the better review the subs get 😂

I would have to say for the money this is a great budget minded value! Would like to see a 1 year update to see how it holds up as far as life expectancy goes.

I have the hst model in the mean time to save weight. And this sucker is doing great. Super stiff cone 3inch coild and out bangs the Hyanka for less!

Wow! Im about to drop this same subwoofer video this week, I got different results but overall great video!!

This sub has great potential to those whom just want to bang on the streets. Great demo Parker keep up the great work.

My 2 Wlldse HCY12s are still hanging in there! I did add 60g of weight to the cone and tossed a new 7" cap over it and made a huge difference in there ability to dig deep. They had an FS of 43htz out of the box, after breaking in from a couple months of flex the FS dropped to 38htz better but still a bit high. But with the added mass and new big cap the FS is now at 30htz! Woohoo. They went from being super tight and punchy sounding perfect for metal and kick drum but the low lows were pretty weak. (Partially the higher tuning and smaller than ideal enclosure the unfortunate part of limited trunk space) but as soon as I fired them up with the lower FS low 30s were way stronger., They are a bit less punchy obviously but it's a happy median of good lows and still punchy. Only problem now is a small trunk 2 subs 1 nice an warm a/b 4 channel and a 2k at .5 ohm I'm having heat issues . There's also a 24ah headway battery pack but it doesn't put off any heat. Thing that sucks is My car has Perma coil stink where I've got dem puppy's warm a bunch of times, and my monoblock shuts down for few seconds if flexed hard on hot days. I need ventilation! At least the car isn't black also

There’s like 25 different no name subs on Alibaba. I want to see them all tested! I don’t trust many of those subs because they can be nothing more than a heavy block of ferrite with a weak motor and a high power rating to compensate. Sundown Audio owns a proper magnetizer so you are getting full power with them.

@JasonWW2000

Жыл бұрын

There's many different ways to make a bad subwoofer, but only a few ways to make it good. I would not suspect that the cheap subs use poor magnetizers, my guess would be they make the gap too wide to give extra tolerance for the quickly put together parts with little to no quality control. This reduces the chances of a coil rubbing, but really reduces the motors strength.

I got the ma515d2 for my dj sub box so far I'm loving the sound

It's not center vented because how they designed that originally to work. It pulls air up and through and out the top of the gap between the top plate and basket.

Yo P been a min, have you looked at the Monolith 18” Harmony Audio? Nice vid bub

I would definitely like to see a comparison to sundown. Maybe through in a Black Diamond subwoofer too. I recently got a couple black diamond 12"s and just looking at them they seem impressive for what they are.

Hey that sub was great it held up well i wish the were a available here in the uk well worth the money

Thought it was gonna blow give the sub some love

I saw this sub on Amazon about a month ago and seriously considered buying one. Scored a U18 instead.

Also got the 12" version in a skar prefab vented single sub box actually like these for the price I say they are pretty good.

Immediately, the center vent (or lack there of) is a big turn off. I'll keep watching to see how it does, but that's always been a must for me if I'm expecting low frequency reproduction. Thanks for the video!

The Kicker Competition 12" sub (late 90's, one step up from Impulse and down from Solo) was always $100 and was a good bassline (ahem) for nearly two decades. That this is $150 is mind-blowing if you take inflation into account; amazing.

Relative loudness at the windshield is a function of the vehicles resonant frequency, the location of the box, its vent or sealed baffle direction etc. I would be curious to see him swap the woofer out to lots of other brands in the same box facing the same way and play the same tracks. Seeing him compare those results to what a program like Winisd or similar software shows would also be interesting. I used to do DB Drag in a 1978 Toyota pickup with a 20R engine. Below the back window I cut out the metal to install a vented box in the bed of the truck. The box front was where the wall below the window used to be. That box started with (2) JL Audio 10" W3D2s that hit 146+db at 45hz at one of the DB Drag shows in the (2) woofer category. It was powered by (2) Crossfire cheater amps that were rated at like 35watts X 2 but at a low enough impedance they would put out 732 watts rms when bridged. That box I tuned for maximum sound quality. Later I built a bigger box that was over 10 cubic foot for (2) Crossfire super cheap DB model 15"s and hit 154.7db at 57hz. That box I tuned specifially to hit 10hz above the vehicles resonant frequency due to the known phenomenon of the resonant frequency shifting up when you pressurize the vehicle due to high spl. I did break my original wind shield but the new one held up well with the wipers bouncing inches off the glass. This was way back in like 2001.

Как иногда после работы приятно вас иностранцев посмотреть!🤟🤗 Я поэтому и подписался мне нравятся твои обзоры и тесты авто систем!👌 У меня у самого 4 колонки суммарно киловатт из 2 здоровенных колонок😊

I changed out my amps a few times to check something, I started with a crossfire 1000 watt mono block amp to push a set of 12s JLs W3, that amp made those subs sound great!!! then I tried a MTX 1000 watt amp, same thing happened, they sounded great, so then I tried a cheap CT Sound 1000 watt amp and again it sounded awesome. it seems to me that it doesn't matter really what kind of amp you have, BC I did this same thing with subs. the JLs handled everything and still sounded great, but when I changed the subs from JLs to Orion XTRs DVCs they blew, MTXs blew, crossfires blew, the only thing that sounded good through out my experiment was the JLs. so from now on, im not spending boat loads of cash on amps. im happy with cheap amps, but you can not skip on the subs. I recommend JLs or anything that might be better. but amps, they all seem to sound the same to me. it might be different in competitions, but for the people just wanting some shove in their rides, cheap amps work for me, they might work for you too.

About to cop four of these lol
