Love what you do also appreciate your unbiased opinion.That’s some beefy ass 8 inch subs .Great video.

I would take and spend a bit more and buy two of the scars.

There's some funky things going on with the ZVX-8 when i measured one long ago the FS on the manual said it had a FS in the 90 hz range. Qts/Qes's were near 1. I threw it on the DATS v3 and this basically confirmed it. hopefully they fixed things since then. The sundown X8 is DEFINITELY my favorite 8" to use especially in compact spaces.

Exactly the video I was looking for, you just gained a subscriber. Wanting to upgrade my SA 8 v2s and considering Skar ZVX 8, SA 8 v3, CT Sounds Meso 8, and Sundown Audio X8 v3. Thank you for this video!

Hey a quick question, I got a JL W7AE-3 12” in my civic and had an option to change to Sundown’s SA-8 V.3 D4 dual 4 ohms subs. Should I keep my W7 or change to the sundowns? Thanks in advance! Btw just subbed so I might even consider getting whatever is the winner of this vid. Never finished it yet aha

Wouldn't the subs act a lot different on the normal 2 ohm load than 4 ohm as far as testing goes? I know people normally run these at 2 or 1 ohm.

Just unboxed a x8 v3 gotta say this thing is high quality. I've also owned Txl15 zvx 12 evl 15 and this is higher quality than skar that's why there's a premium. Yes it's the name but they got there name from being the best.

How would I wire two of these in a box if my amp is capable of 1ohm? I have the the same as you

Dude! You have the closest thing to a scientific subwoofer channel on KZread! Great work!! Maybe get a mic to measure SPL at 1 meter to validate different drivers? Your test seems to show maximum excursion on the ZXV8 at around 28 Hz, which is much lower than what's listed on the website..

Hell I did few installs of the Skar ma 8s fir $89. They bang hard for the Money

I have 3 zvxv2 18s, I got them for $380 each, I like their power handling, w4500 at .67 ohms, I'm sure they could handle a 9k, I believe the sun downs are also more expensive at this size, so it depends if you want want to pay more for them

Just installed the X8 V3 D2. In a Skar Audio Kerf box. Haven't got it broke in yet, so far at low volume I think it's gonna do pretty good *Cry once, pay once*

SKAR by far is the most budget sub for the $$$ for the same bang! The question is how long does SKAR vs Sundown last over time? It's depends on what type of amp the user used & with the correct settings without any audio clippings, the environments that its installed in with climate's freezing cold & scorching hot weather, and how the user maintain their audio system's maintenance overtime? I've heard many audio systems horror stories during last 25 years! As I'm installer myself I'm using a single SKAR Audio 12-D2 1600w 800w RMS 2ohm using a single ported box with SKAR Audio RP-1200.1D 1600w 800w RMS @ 2ohm mono amp!

BBH, my man! As always your videos are very extensive and in depth reviews. A++ I would love to find a good 'free-air' sub to save me some weight in my little speedster. I was loving the P3 15 I had but the box and sub were just too much weight considering I've taken Potter comforts out of her interior so I can't feel ok about adding to it like that when I'm doing without the luxuries like leather bank seat and door panels. You get me, when you're thinking about your next subwoofer shootout please give some thought to the 'infinite baffle' cousins to these quality subs... I know from past personal experience that a good sealed and strong baffle can make a subwoofer a real ground shaker. This was I've of my first builds in my first car but it was satisfying to watch people eat their words especially when they knew I was pushing 2 mtx 12's on a Punch 45! Lol.. I know the 'free-air' idea gets a lot of skepticism but it's all unwarranted when you come across a build where the concrete is off the free air design is maintained and the front and back waves are truly sealed off from reach other. Just an idea felt another bbh with tendencies for 'driving way too fast and seeking a good balance. I'ma keep watching these though, I'm waiting on that KO cause Mama's grocery getter needs a little knock too I'm thinking, and it's not winning any races so the winner here here may just end up rattling she milk and eggs in her trunk. Double thumbs my friend! 👍👍

Many factors are involved. Length of subwoofer cone spider rubber surround voice coil would have to be literally identical in measurement because I believe these Subs are made with very tight tolerance. First see if the voice coil diameter is the same next see the measurement of Excursion to see if you have the proper clearance. Just look at each one and do a comparison on the measurements. That should lead you to a Direction if it's feasible or not.

SSA Audio has a beefy 8in that I'm thinking about getting

I cant wait until you get up to the ZVX-12v2. They may be my next set of subs, the specs are perfect for the cost ratio. I'd like to see a face off of the ZVXv2 12, Fi Q 12, Sundown U12 or X12, and maybe an American Bass Xmaxx 12 I've got 2 EVL 12s with a RP2000.1 (will be getting a second RP2000 in this week), along with some SK6.5s and FSK6.5s in my doors powered by a RP75.4AB. It sounds better than expected, I've had Rockford, Alpine and Orions throughout my life and I've always wanted some Sundown subs...but Skar is like the cheaper version of Sundown - everything you want out of Sundown for half the cost. I cant wait for the second RP2000 to arrive, I'm excited to see what it does with a bit more power. I'll have to strap the Amos or just run them at 2ohms individually (I've got D4 EVLs), which isnt optimal but it's better than spending almost $700 and over powering them with a SK-4500 or getting the same performance with a RP3500.1.

You got a pretty good plan. However, the RP2000 isn't strappable. But you can wire both subs, individually, in parallel and get each sun to 2 ohms. Then connect them in parallel, with a final on load of 1 ohms. You may have already done this. However the reason I went with the Audiopipe 2000.1d over the RP 2000 by Skar Audio is because the RP series 2000.1 was not strappable. Still a great amp though 🤟

The stitching is real. These companies are reputable.

Speaking from someone who has/is bumping both. The Sundown does what ( lore ) says and pounds, but it has its limits as it seems to sound better in all ranges, but only so loud. The Skar is like a rock, and handled properly it can take some seriouse watts and not skip a beat. But in its recommended enclosure it does sound muddier than the Sundown. In a custom box though it's a completely differant story, the Skar takes it hands down in all category's.. get 2 for the price of 1 Sundown and you will crack a windshield In a custom box and sound good doing it. P.s the Skar has a long break in period. It is stiff for up to a month of playtime.

With either of these subs, you get more than you pay for. The motor on the SKAR is easily comparable to that of a 12-in subwoofer. However the motor on the sundown is easily comparable to most 15-in subwoofers. So keep in mind that sundown is more expensive because it offers a bigger motor with most subwoofers in car audio you are mainly paying for the motor

Aint no skar gonna hold up like a sundown...I have a zv5 12 thats rated for 2000 watts and I clamped it at 5680 watts at half ohm on a crescendo 4k running at 16 volts with some limitless lithium to run it I've never had a skar last this long on this kinda power I'd like to try the Skar DNR just to see how it holds up and its rated for 5000 watts so it should take it easy then ima strap my other crescendo to it and see if it can take double the power cause my sundown is almost triple the power its rated for right now and it loves it, it gets warm on the dust cap but I never smell it so I beat the breaks off of it, love these videos and sundown audio lol

Check out masterwills channel , 4zvx15s on 4 skar 4500s .

I have a 8" zvx in a jeep Wrangler Rio grande. Everytime I crank it I have to prove to people that it's only a single 8

ZVX 8 on sale right now for 135.99

Skar is garbage in my point of view never had good luck with them had two 8s in my fox body they lasted a month I upgraded to two 8 sundown handle a lot more sound a lot better like the old saying you get what you pay for

!!the X8 ill take sir!!

Based off experience I'd purchase the sundown. What I would like to see is the skar audio put to the test more. If it performs to let's say 2500 watts on a good burp test, like underrated sundowns have done... I'd easily purchase some because physically the skars look the par.

Now, I know I’m not the only one that likes subs and indoor plants. So make a indoor plant video.

I would get the zvx over the evl tho I 100% agree with that but keep that in mind the zvx 8 and evl 8 are different from each other and some people might wanna save that $10 to put towards the amp and everything else

I've always enjoy JL Audio products I recently tried some skar audio subs I've heard so much about Sundown Audio and seen a lot of videos on Sundown Audio so I ended up selling the skar subs and I ended up getting sundown and by far the Sundown Subs can handle more and I personally believe they hit the lows and hit harder then the skar audios. But for the price skar audio is not a bad product. Personally I like my DD audio 8 inch subs my personal opinion they are better than Sundown and skar audio as far as how they sound don't get me wrong with Sundowns hit really hard and get the lows but the DD audio's have the best of both worlds SQ and SPL when you want it.

@@BudgetBassHead Apreciate your timely response sir. Have you ever encounter thus manufactures products to agree/disagree with what he, himself believes anyway, to have any merit or validity? Just curious on your thoughts before I take time out to look into his claim. Thanks again for what you do. You had me vacuumed in, upon watching the first video I seen you in. Very well articulated teachings it was about Bandpass methodology. Just now finished my first, Passive Radiator build. Utilizing a, JL 12W6V3D4 w/ 2 Dayton 12PR's powered by a SVS 2000's Amp Board. After having to add two (2) extra weights on top of the SIX (6), that came with each of the 12" Dayton PR's... It surprisingly out performs much nicer than my Klipsch sw15 that wasnt really doing it for me. Well until I Frankenstein'd, Parts Express' SPA1000 Amp into the ass of it. Getting chatty now. So let me finish by SAYING.... Learning from you some key speaker/sub dynamic understanding. I removing the 12" ULTIMAX from the build upon disappointment upon completion and incorporating the JL. Thank you. Was not expecting the result. Keep drivin man and don't stop. Except for a lady once in a while. Doing great.

Hey bro. The CT sounds meso 8 will fit perfect in this class. It's 800 watt rms, and $200. I just had my birthday and got a full system for my ride. I about got the vfl 8 from American bass, but didn't fit the budget. I had just 600 bucks. I got a double din head unit, two amps, two 4 gauge wiring kits, hushmat, two pair of Orion xtr four inch, 0 gauge for big 3, 8 gauge for the sub, prefabbed box, and American bass xd 1044. So I got a bit of work ahead.

Gregory I found a 'new in box' CT Sounds BIO 15 on eBay, won it for 27 bucks put it in a hybrid folded horn/ported box I made and it was crazy loud! I had it on a VFL COMP 2K American Bass amp so it would occasionallylt peak near the 2000 watt mark and it then or was rated for less than 1000 mad (sorry I just can't recall I've had quite a few lately and they all gonna run together in my mind) but I eventually burned up the copper connection near the voice coil but I did everything to this sub that the manufacturer would likely tell you not to and it was an impressive sub. ESPECIALLY for the price point they sell for and for what I paid it was the best and I'll likely never get that kind of value for my money again. I'd say yes to CT Sounds anything! Good luck and keep me informed if you do! Good luck!

Both of those are not even close to the quality of DD audio. Here is a 6.5 sub comparison between DD and Memphis tinyurl.com/yydp4hh3 If you want a proper comparison to DD you have to go American Bass, DB Drive, etc. For larger subwoofers 10s and higher the competition field becomes very large and hard to find definitive winners.

They are on the top 10 list.

No replacement for displacement two 8s will always win

Right now in jan 2023 for the sundown x8 is $278 and the Skar zvx8 is $143. So pretty much the sundown is double the price of skar.

Skar all day good product use the vvx 8v3 in my blazer they slap hard...

I believe most of these brands come from the same place and some these brands just want to make it look as if the higher priced items are better.
