That’s cuz all the bass 😁😁😁

i have 2 of the zvx 12" and i run them on a 5,000 watt amp, not once have they had a problem, extremely powerful, and the sound quality is great in my vehicle

Skar Audio designed the VXF subwoofer series to have the perfect combination of SQ and SPL features alike. Utilizing a high temperature 3" dual voice coil, and massive 300oz motor, the VXF's get extremely loud while sounding incredible. Conservatively rated at 3,000 watts max power.

ZVX owner for several months.... it's a great compromise sub. Loud but accurate across several types of music styles. Daily pounder

I got the VXF-12-2was thinking about getting the VXF-15-2 If placed in the right box and turned properly with steady power supply ... The VXF-12-2 is absolutely amazing. Especially for the price. Especially if you fully sound proof atleast your trunk and have fans or good air flow. I have an ORION XTR-2250 "THE BEAST" with 200 amp alternator, "Big 4" upgrade, of course OFC 0\1 wire through out, super beefy RCA's, SKAR EQ, .....and much more. Still working on it.

I love what you do Parker. Keep up the good work bro. I'm actually a S.A. fan but decided to try some Skar subs for giggles. So glad I did. Not sure of the longevity of them yet but so far AWESOME!! subs. My 20yr home audio theater build is 48,000 REAL WATTS, CLEAN RMS and is audiophile grade SQ. But my Semi on the other hand, I just wanted to get outright loud. Mission accomplished!!! Currently running 2 ZVX 12"d1 in my 2020 Peterbuilt, in a compound loaded isobaric 6th order, tuned at 28-50hz. Everyone swears my truck is full of subs LMAO. Lows not as good but It's def louder than my X15's where by far. not to mention way less weight and take less space. It is SOOOO LOUD You absolutely cannot see straight at 45-50 hz. and when it hits, it literally feels like someone hit your entire body with a giant feather pillow. For what I payed for them. But imo! It's a BUDGET STEAL NO DOUBT! I Love my ZVX's

Picked up 2 VXF 15s earlier this year. Going into a sealed box and into the hatch of a ford focus ZX3.

I watch your videos everynight keep it goin bro showin love from Memphis

For me it would have to be the VXF,more of a high power sound quality! Great comparison Parker!

Very good quality video answered all the questions I had went a little above and beyond my expectations of a review keep it up man you’re doing great I liked and subscribed because I feel your review was top-notch

I like the VXF better wish they came I'm 18"

Your channel helps out alot man good stuff! Keep it up

How could anybody give this a thumbs down OMG best video sub comparison I have ever seen dude you're awesome beautiful taking the chance with your subwoofers with that tar amplifier knowing how much distortion those amplifiers have. Just for the record I'm pushing 60 years old always been a DJ for many years and your video by far is the best. I would go with the vxf because I listen to all kinds of music the quality of the sound matters to me loudness is always there . I do have a question I'm ordering a 15 vxf 1500 watt RMS SQ SPL . Im thinking 4 ohm because when i get the other one i can wire down to 1 ohm or should I get 2 ohm? , how would it do with audiopipe 1800.1 1800 w RMS.

I am working on a 2015 Toyota Crewmax and will have 8 VXF dual 2ohm 12’s on 8 Audiopipe AMPI 2000’s. Having a hard time with designing the setup for a second alternator but it should work out with time. Long way to go but should have the loudest Tundra Crewmax that I know of. One unique thing I’m doing is a snug with a accordion boot and retaining the factory rear power glass ! Also have 2 Skar VD 8’s behind the back seat in the cab in a prefab ported box for everyday listening and know one believes it !

Ty Parker great job I honestly bought my skar zvx 12 and my skv2 1500 amp because of your videos. I honestly have met spoke or messaged this guy but if you need info before buying something I'd recommend watching his videos.

Thanks bro great video as usual 👌 sundown x12, js would love to see how it stacks up against that VXF, js

parker you have to release your spotify playlist! im constantly trying to find new bass songs and im slowing running out of luck but theres many songs that you play that I dont recognise.

Good comparison video Parker. Definitely was looking forward to this showdown. The VXF gets my vote. I like SPL, but I also need my music to sound good, and the VXF seems more tight and controlled and gets lower. I'll save $120 and get 2 VXF 15's in the future because they will easily handle the 3,500 ish watts my Orion XTR 2500.1 puts out. Looking forward to the Soundqubed HDX series tests, and hopefully a $250 - $300 sub showdown in the future as well. That's the price range I will be shopping in for sure, and I'm sure a lot of others shop in that price range as well for 1 or 2 of the 1500 to 2000 watt range subwoofers.

I like the comparison and your honesty. Thanks Parker

I just got the VTX today and after looking at sundown. I'm going to base all my hearing ability off of a JL audio w7 which got stole out of my car a few years back. I don't expect this speaker to even come close. I am very impressed with the build of Skar! I am literally waiting on the FedEx truck now for the Skar box... I have watched a few of your videos and they are very informative coming from a ex contester. Just getting back in it after 12 years. I'm running mine off of a Directed D -2400 at the time I paid around $2,300 for this amplifier one ohm stable. I am very excited to see what this sub does in my car. I believe once broke in though through the controls of a really good head unit me I'm a Pioneer fan. The head unit gives you so much flexibility for the subwoofer. And once broke in which is going to take a while with the VTX model the foam will become able to flex more. The spider will break in before the foam gasket will. At least that's what I've learned over time but I'm sure you break all your speakers in. Me I like that a little more base than anything else I can contour it to my own ear specifications hopefully. But wanted to thank you for making these videos I know you do get money for these awesome speakers. But I understand what you do takes a lot out of your back! I installed for years! Except back then we didn't have nothing like this! And I may just upgrade to sundown but I believe the build behind the subwoofer I chose is a lot better as far as moving air around and keeping the speaker itself at a good cool running temperature

the Devilish Trio at 10:34 caught me off guard... didn't expect to hear one of their songs in any videos like this anytime soon

i would like to see more video of the smd meter. to show how much difference there is in each woofer during music. the vxf seemed to stay around 1500 watts more. the zvx seemed more peaky. i would think thats a good thing but it didnt seem to translate to being musical. really hard to tell from the few seconds you showed the meter. would you say the zvx had more of a swing? i wonder if the vxf stays in the gap more or less. seemed more consistent. triple or double magnet? one seems wider while the other is taller.

I’d go with the vfx. I’m old though and care more about what it sounds like in the car and hitting the lows than getting loud.

I’d personally pick the vxf. My friend has a single vxf 15 with a Skar rp2k amp doing 146-147db sealed on the dash in a Saturn suv. Very impressive how loud it is and I’m sure it can take even more clean power. Seems like some companies dont know there speakers specs 100%. Thanks Parker

Thanks for the video quick question if you don't mind I'm thinking of buying two skar 12 in vxf's or 1 18 inch resilient sounds Platinum ....which do you think would be louder

I have a skv2 2500 pushing dual 1ohm zvx 12s in the skar prefabed ported box. Tuned at 33 hertz. Sounds insane. Only upgrade i have is the big 3 and added another battery. I should of gone with the 3500 but was on a budget. All I can say is that skar backs up what it says on the audio. The lows in my set up is crazy. If you can't hear it, you will definitely feel it

The sensitivity means you can power up the sub quicker so I like the VXF better.

Daum I just bought my second zvx today glad I did there beasts

What I wanna know is which one of the two is better for a 4th order bandpass blowthru? I'm looking to upgrade from my Sundown sa12's to four of one of these but not all subs work good in a 4th order bandpass.

Is the fs discrepancy possibly the difference between dual 4ohm and dual 2 ohm? I've noticed a few different typos on their website as well.

How do these match up to the sundown x subs ? I have 2 sundown x 12s going on a salt 4k today and I’m so curious how low or loud it’s gonna get ...

The difference in them is the box you can't take a sub that needs lower tuned box and put them in the same box there is going to be a big difference so box is the biggest thing you need a box that's tuned around 30 hz and a box tuned around 35-40 hz to be able to test and get more of an accurate feel for each sub in my opinion

I mean true but a lot of people are just going to drop a new Sub in their box, plus a lot of vehicles only have a certain amount of space so building a new box may not be possible, that being said I feel like this is still a valid test for those reasons. But you are absolutely correct it should be in a box built by the TS parameters to really know the differences in sound quality ,and output.

@Babyk I understand that people think they play lows good, but these videos are not that far off. You must have heard the most shitty setup if you can't tell the difference between a 95 pound sub vs a 57 pound sub. There is a guy on KZread that had 4 15 zvx and switched to Sundown and said it was better. The x12 v3 is 70 pounds. I've been building boxes for a long time and some subs just don't do good. I have some old Sa15s that don't play lows worth a damn, but I dropped some Audioque 15s street duty in the same box and the lows were very deep. I don't need any 15s now because I already have too many subs now. I don't need the Sundown X either, but I just want to try them out.

@drjd2real

2 жыл бұрын

@Babyk The weight means more motor force. You can't meter higher than a zv5 because they take more power than a zvx. 2 zv5s can take 8000 watts all day, but the zvx would burn up. I could care less why someone switched to Deaf Bonce, but I know it is a very good brand. Sundown is on sale and I'm not trying to spend 800-900 on one sub. Like I said before, you must have heard a bad Sundown install because the zvx can't keep up. Skar would have put Sundown out of business by now if that were true. I've never heard anyone on any forum recommend the zvx over Sundown. It can't keep up with an American Bass xmaxxx Monster or DC level 5 which is similar to zv5's power handling. I'm not trying to turn you against Skar. If you like it, that's all that matters because some people think L7s sound good, but they don't. The DNR sub they stopped making could compete, but the zvx is not on the same level as the ones I named.

Did you have both of them tuned the same or did you tune them to there specs?

Could you get a PSI recone kit if it blew and rebuild it?

I got 2 of the VXFs but only have a Taramps 3k... would that be a good fit for them? And what would you recommend as a box size? Also would you do an aero port or a slit port and why...

Parker dacchille i need your opinion... American xr or skar zvx or vxf ? Im wanting to order one and cant decide.

What electrical should I get I have a 4500 and two 15s vxf with a four channel 75.5

Hey Parker your doing awesome with your channel really stepping it up! You are very familiar with American Bass and I cannot figure them out there prices (from there site) features and specs are all over the place... On there site in the 15" $200-$300 price range the elite is the most expensive? And it's steel and 150oz magnet? The xfl is 2nd with 200oz cast but 1000w rating, then XR 200oz cast with 1500w then the TNT 200oz cast and 1500wrms?? I'm confused why is the steel elite the top one is That price range?? I can't get a 2nd NVX VCW15 at moment nor a factory recone for my broke VCW15.. so I may switch it up to American bass but I'm baffled at there prices and ratings, I do not want an steel basket it just seems cheesy plus may mount them inverted also so the elite is out of the choices. Any info clear up the confusion.

Love the videos by the way. You should test out the new evl 8. I have 4 I am building in a 4th order in a Camry. 100% skar. Well except my yinglog batteries

Hey Parker will the vxf work good with a 1800 watt hifonics amp? Just ordered vxf 12 D4 and I’m unsure if I’ll be fine with that amp or if I should bump up to a hifonics Brutus that I have laying around (2200w I think)? Thanks in advance! Also currently have a alpine type x 12” and unsure if I should keep the amp’s tune the same or turn it down while it’s breaking in

I want the tighter, fast sounding bass rather than low but slow or dragged muddy bass, please advise what choice.

Thinking of buying one of those smd dyno meters you got... you like it?? Is it accurate??

Well far as sound quality would it be the vxf or the xr ?thats the real question

Copper coils more musical ,CCA is a muddier sounding coil . Depends on what the outcome u are looking for . I love it to get loud but with SQL I’d go with the vxf

I already have 1st amp setup, and later on install a 2nd amp for two amp, do you have to reset 1st amp again with dd-1?

Was wondering your opinion on what sub is better American bass HD or any of these two subs thanks

Parker get some resilient sounds gold and some platinum and make a comparison. I'm thinking of getting some , I hear alot of good things about them.😉👍 love your videos brother , keep up the good work 👍🔊🔊🔊🔊

What was the rms was both of them guys getting I seen you had a taramps 12000.1 d on it but why was the full load rms you were sending

ZVX has taller motor of smaller diameter for the increased stroke. It keeps the coil in the magnetic gap through more of the stroke (or throughout the stroke).

Nice video. I wanna go from 2 txl 18s and wanna do like 3 15s or 4 12s and not sure what sub to go with. Sound like I might go 3 vxf 15s

Also not many people take into account the sensitivity rating...the vxf has a higher sensitivity rating so it doesn't take as much to get as loud...like my ddx 12 has a 90plus sensitivity rating so it gets loud quick especially since I only have 800 watts going to it

Hey man, just got 2 VXF 12's and a SKV2 45001.d. is that too much power or just enough? TIA

I didn't see the SPL results, just saw them after two comments, anyways the VXF should set higher numbers for sure!

What amp would yal run to properly power a pair of these??

I’m gonna be putting a md 1800.1 taramp in my car for bass and 1200w in total for mids and tweeters, what sub should I get, the box is tuned to 32hz

how many watts rms do I need the amplifier to get the best out of a pair of skar audio greetings very good videos

How many cubes is that box that the zvx was in?

I didn't really have a choice, because I'm running an 18" ZVX. Out of maybe 30 enclosures I've built, I never had one dig deeper, or sound cleaner. Maybe an 18" VXF would sound a little better.... "IF" they made one. I'm an SQL kind of guy, but I think the enclosure, and the DSP tuning make more difference than the actual sub woofer in question. Good video though :) TY.

I def agree. You really need to give a ZVX or any big sub like that some serious cubes to get it in it's element. Also meeting port area spec at bare minimum and ratio of port area per cube. But then again I do slot ports I know aeros can get away with less port area. I ran every sub size except 18 and I'm between going with a ZVX 18 or two vxf 15s prob will get the one 18.

Should i get 2-12 ct meso or something else in that range, for deep hard hitting bass

What size amp should I run for 2 of either one?

Is there a grill I can fit over the vxf? Just ordered one to put in a center console I don't want it to get hit from backseat passengers lol

The ZVX have been the most brutal, violent SPL beasts & the VXF’s have been the smoothest, cleanest, pleasant sounding bandwidth friendly subs, I’d say VXF 1,500-2,000 watts clean for music, 3,000-3,500 watts clean for burps, ZVX 2,000-3,000 watts clean for music, 3,000-4,500 watts clean for burps...

I have 3 of the zvx and it's borderline nuts. I 100% do agree that they don't really sound the best with all music (not bad though). If SPL is your goal its a no brainier.

At that time I was running an MD 8k (taramps). Now was it worth it. I believe so, main reason is it was much more efficient and I had a bit more bandwidth (range). Now I’ve moved to one 18” in a plain ported. I will admit that at times I miss the SPL part of the 6th order but the flatness of this setup it awesome. I would say if you have the money build one and also build a nice ported box @ around 30-32 Hz and see what sounds best.

How many hours do it take to break in a sub

Start looking into differences between subs that have progressive roll spiders and liner spiders and svc vs dvc. BTW I like svc and progressive more but lmk what u think do sum comparisons.

Love my ZVX-18, very badass subwoofer.

Which is the best lt was a great benefit to be told

Does anyone think I can get some bass like this from my same zvx In a 2018 Camry what do I need !??? That smd device I bought this sub but it was more that I can chew I don’t wanna let it go but it jsut seams like everything revolving around it is tedious and pricey :(

I would like to get lower bass but I have a plan for some 18” subs so I gotta stick to the ZVX cause there the only ones that support the 18 except the SDR but I want a Beefy sub to be more of a show off type thing
