It’s been so cool watching you grow and get all these subs tested. You’re always SO EXCITED, I love it dude. You did the work and it really paid off!! So many people have got better subs for their money because of you. That’s good for the industry!

Thank you. Because of your channel show me. How much fun you can have while improving your car audio and also on a budget

The bottom of the magnet have a heat sink that go inside where the coil is. This is a brand thing on any speaker. This will keep the coil colder and the magnet as well. The end user can play for longer time.

Hey man I respect your professionalism and the time you take to educate people. Keep pushing and staying consistent. You are doing a great job. I've learn so much from you.

Really good videos. Nice looking sub. I've been a Bass Head since 1990 (when I was 17yrs old lol). The best main subs and equipment then were Kicker, Rockford Fosgate and MTX. Amps were Kicker, Fosgate, MTX, Pioneer, Kenwood, Sony, and Alpine. Head Units Pioneer, Kenwood, Sony, Alpine, and Clarion. These were the best in 1990. In 1991 and all the way until today they came out with more and more New and old manufactures, with new and better equipment. There was a big difference in between 90 and 91. Speakers Subs, and Amps were poppin out everywhere. My first decent system was a Sony Cassette player (CD players would Skip if ya didn't have money for a alpine then), 4-10 inch Orion XTR subs, 3 California Profile Amps, and 2- 6.5 inch Orion door speakers In 1995.

I'm 41 so close to your age. I can imagine your system was one of if not the loudest around depending on where you lived. Those Orion subs were crazy loud at the time.

Hey Parker... I spoke to Bob at American bass yesterday about the hawk, he says it's the same woofer as the XFL... except for new heat sink technology... maybe you can look for it and point it out.

That basket is sick with that paint job.

I was wondering if maybe you could give me some advice I spent a lot of money well to me it's like a lot of money and I bought a skar 3,500.1D amp 3500rms and a massive hippo 122r which is 3,000 RMS I'm pretty sure I can get it louder but I am not sure if I should keep it on 1 ohm for now or switch it over to 2 ohm until I get either a battery or a bigger alternator

So how do you think this compares to the AudioPipe TXX-BDC4. their price is about the same and i think you tested the TXX-BCD4 at 141+ Also.

I just bought another Titan 15in. It also has the 3in voice coil and 170 Oz magnets. I wonder how the power handling is 3000 w 1500 RMS? The hawk seems to have a bigger magnet so how are they the same power rating? Thank you.

Do u think these would hit harder than the Kicker Blues, I have 2 15’ kickers. Thinking about going American bass

These thihs are slick man!! Put some power to the bad boys!!

What's the air space is your box? Killer box and subs!

Great videos bro 💯💯, I'm about to purchase 4 budget 12s for my s10 blazer, and I know you have owned both, but looks like they were tested in a different box at the time, out of the American Bass Hawk 12, or the American Bass XFL 12, which one do you think would be louder spl wise, in exact same power, box, and vehicle???

Hard for me to understand why he likes the XFL over the Hawk. The XFL is 1,000 watts RMS. The Hawk is 1,500 watts RMS. The main reason it’s not getting sloppy during the ultra low part is it can easily handle that where the XLF is probably reaching its limits. Love the video Parker.

I just found my next sub, had pretty much skar products so now it’s time to switch it up

How to you wire with direct lead instead of the push terminals?

what gauge wire is recommended?

Do you ever sell any of your subs that you don’t use? Or done using and just have laying around?

The metal on the bottom is the cooling ring right ?
