I ran three 10” RF in a sealed box in 2005. I don’t think they had different lines of subs just all the same. They were 150rms and I ran a Kicker Zr bridge to 1.3 ohms giving each sub 100 watts. To this day people still talk about how much that system slammed. Why is it so damn difficult for people to build a high quality product that is low in wattage?!!!!!! My 10” infinity kappa 1000s are rated at 400rms a piece and those 2 are INCREDIBLE for SQ and SPL. But most people can’t push 1000rms off thier stock . Miss the old days

I bought a couple of these Stage 12 SVC subs for just $100 recently. I got them for home use though. I needed something for DIY subwoofers in my surround sound system. These worked well for this. I built my own boxes. I’m posting this because I just wanted to say that for $50 a piece these are very good subwoofers. I don’t know squat about these JBL Sub boxPros though. However, if you want a good cheap sub for your home system then build a good tuned box and put one in it.

I agree with you Jbl usually has quality products, I used to have a Dual 8" 300w all in one bandpass that sounded amazing!

I always thought the "saddle" between the two highest impedance points was the port-tuning point, so from your sweep somewhere in the high 40's. Guess I had misunderstood. Great video, and definitely valuable info for people in the market.

I have been asking for you to do this exact video as I have the previous model of the JBL GT 12 PRO and have always wondered how it would stack up on your list. I have been rocking it for over 5 years and it makes it into every car I swap to but I have always thought that if the amp blows or the subwoofer goes out I would keep the enclosure and just upgrade the either amp or the sub. You have given me options to build bigger. Thanks, Big D.

I've got one of the older Versions of this JBL box with the protection bars and the non-red logo and without a built-in amp, just passive box. Also the previous owner changed the JBL sub with a Sony Xplod ""1300 Watt"" (380W RMS) Subwoofer, which does actually look nicer to my eyes than the original woofer. By now I only have used it in the workplace office rather than in a car, but it does make a lot of stuff in the room go buzzing! Can't really measure the output, but my guess is that my box in that environment seems to be maxing at 55-ish Hz, at least thats when it sound the most boomy and rattly. Its quite a not-small room, high ceilings (old building with thick walls, Germany). The amp was just the cheapest i could get (new), Class AB Crunch GPX500.2 bridged, minimum 4 Ohm (which this woofer has) and 250W RMS at 14.4 Volts. I use it with a "rejected" 18Ah UPS battery at the moment. 12.7V on idle, 10.5 Volts on full boom, really dirty setup, but it is just for the lolz. Funnily, if you play 61Hz Sine Wave, the box starts moving backwards :D (not secured in the office) Maybe thats also around its peak? The whole setup cost me like 110€ incl. shipping and tax. Woofer + Box was 35€ used + 16€ shipping, rest is amp and cables. Must try it inside the company car, its a Nissan Primastar transporter, not-small hollow box with windows all-around.

I had a Rockford Fosgate 10" powered sub in my previous pickup per your suggestions and I absolutely loved it. My current pickup is a 21 extended cab F150 and there was no way that setup was gonna fit anywhere behind or under the seats. Been looking into these slimline powered subs and found a decent deal on a Blaupunkt GTHS131 10" but I can't find any real reviews on it. Love to see you review one of them. Curious what your thoughts on Blaupunkt products is in general as well. I've never personally owned any of their products but I have friends who did and seemed to like them.

That woofer can handle way more than that amp can supply. Jbl was trippin putting that baby amp on a double stack 12

As I said about the Rockville. Companies have been trying for three decades to beat the value of the SAS Bazooka Amplified Tubes. Even when they used Class A/B amps they were hard to beat with Class D you don't even need direct battery power up to 100w. People are turned off by the design. Flat under seat subs don't work either, they are loud but don't get down. The physics don't lie unless you use the correct size port, radiator or a ton of amp power for tiny sealed enclosures, you can't beat a Bazooka Tube and that is why they still rate well on Amazon and Crutchfield with many repeat users coming back after trying other options. Dave I will send you a few tubes to test.

This new revision of the BassPro was an obvious cost cutting measure from the previous series it replaced. The cost went up at the same time, for a lesser product. The Bass knob felt cheap, and they eliminated the woofer protection. Seems to be the way a lot of Car audio is going in this rescission.

I would love to see you build something better for the price and run it through some tests. Would have loved to know what you didn't like about the sound specifically as well

Do some more alpine stuffffff that never gets old

The model that was sold before this one was also tuned very high. It basically fell flat at anything below ~35 Hz, and just made excursion noise after that. I think that a sealed or a passive radiator version of this would have sounded way better, as well as being able to reproduce true subwoofer frequencies.
