I've seen the Blaupunkt GBW120 12" subwoofer on WalMart.com for a while now and the $19.99 price tag just seemed crazy to me (now $24.99). Buy 2 and shipping is even free! This sub has decent specs and 400 watt RMS power handling and 800 watts peak. I decided it would be really cool to mount it inside the acrylic Gately Audio subwoofer box and do some demos, then see how much power it would handle before it blows up. How much do you think it will take?

Pyle is garbage
@@Wolfie66 especially there amps
Pyle of shit

It WAS a pretty clean looking sub for 20 dollars
Glad I bought 8 more to play with 👈😬

@@wal At that price, how could you not? The performance per dollar even beats Rockville.
@Chet Carson thumbs down for you. The rest of us think Big D is pretty cool.
And we all know that's all that counts. Don't need a good quality sub, doesn't even need to work, as long as it looks clean that makes you the coolest guy in your mom's Prius.
Your demo has increased the price to $39 at Walmart
Now 46
@@robinong5803 oof I was gonna buy it but im poor 20 is my budget ))-:
@@realchronal So you own a car and 20 dollars is your budget, you were able to "budget" at least 1 grand for a car but 20 is your budget? correct me please
@@alexnather7614 he likes jbl... probably a 9 year old kid who wants to get a real sub but he spends too much money on jbl bt speakers
$52.80 at wally now
After this video this sub will go up to $24.99 lol
Still a deal!!
What about $28. I went to buy mine on my phone, and they jumped the price up at midnight. Still got it on my PC tho. 4 coming in :D
@@13smallcha I`d say it is worth up to $50 brand new.
@@GanG914 I'd pay like $40 as a bargain price. $50 as a standard price.
Just ordered mine and yes it was 24.99 lol
Performed pretty good for a 20 buck sub😀
yeah built pretty good for 20 dollars lol even had tensile leads woven into the spider probably only rated for 200 watts rms anyways
Kevin Anglin I’m getting about 250 each out of em. Just can’t push any more than that and they will last. Plus I went easy on them for the first week. Not a bad system in my work car.
@@ButtermilkL0veNugget what kind of amp are you using?
Damn, the material alone is worth more than 20 bucks. Someone in the workchain is getting ripped off here and i think i know who that person is :/
Isnt it just wrong? (I mean the fact that such thing is sold that cheap)
White Boy kenwood 500x1 at 4 ohms. Subs ran parallel. Used a multimeter and came up with about 240 at each sub.
Man, I remember when Blaupunkt was really high end stuff
Used to be the wiki tells all en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blaupunkt
mike mcqueen I remember back in the day too, I had a cd player blaupunkt actually means blue dot
Velocity series was really good
Stock sound system used in the 2004 to 2006 pontiac gto and sounded great!
When was that? They sucked in the 90’s.
That thing can probably do 600 all day. I would say it did it's rated and then some. Good sub.
Uh no. It can do around 250 rms regularly without clipping. Although for 20 dollars that is amazing.
Blaupunkt used to be a really good German brand, but now is a cheap brand. Still impressed that it pulled almost 1kw
Nowadays they only stick their name on cheap chinese crap.. very sad
Yeah I bought a blaupunkt sub based purely on their old reputation. It was absolute garbage. I was sorely disappointed.
splewy yeah and damn sorry to hear that. I hope you can get your money back based on misleading information. A good brand that doesn’t cost too much still is MTX Audio them and Rockfordfosgate.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blaupunkt
Just like mtx and pioneer
@@splewy I did the same with some nakamichi car audio stuff. Shameful.

You know what for what it is that's pretty darn good. Makes me want to go out and buy a bunch of them just so I can load up these empty house boxes I have. I need about six to eight of them and those would be perfect for my house. Excellent video!
@@masterpanther1 wow your house needs 8 subwoofers
@Williston Audio Labs could you test a rockville k9 dvc subwoofer one day?
I would send you a Boss audio cxx12 if you would do this to it.
Williston Audio Labs blaupunkt literally means 🔵 blue dot, but you probably new that 🤪 had one of their decks back in the day and wasn’t bad
Today you can put some decent bass in your ride for around $100 bucks . Remember what $100 bucks would get you back in the day? Diddly Squat.
Back when I was in high school $100 got you a total of 100 watts out of an amp. And $100 back then was way more than it is now. Amplification was $1 per watt.
Michael Hollon yeah a 12-inch pioneer impp injected molded poly propylene! Never thought in a million years PPI would be considered trash and sell out. I remember paying $2,800 for 2 PPI power class pc2350 amps back in 97
Steven Young now you can buy a 2000+ watt amp for around 250$ (SKAR RP 2000.1)
Ugh. I had 2 impp 302 (12") in a 7cuft ported box.. Yep.. No trunk left. But I had those lows for cheap. I spent most of the 90s reboxing small truck enclosures into larger better fit customs. Often ported as well in strange under seat tubes. I remember my brother having an Orion i doubled volume and ported and never once heard a damn thing for an argument afterwards about anything.. I was 14 he was 19.. Mrv600 and type r 12 in 96 sealed.. Wasted more than the car I put them in.
I hear that. I remember back in 1995 my cousin installed a system in my mom's car. I remember It was a pioneer tape deck with detachable face and even had a hard plastic case to put the face in in your glovebox there was 2 MTX 5 inch speakers in the back and 2 3.5 inch (I believe) in the front and just for that deck and 4 speakers was around 400 bucks. These days you can get something basic like that for under 100 bucks easy.
love this channel reminds me of the late 90's when we were rolling kicker subs and pluto amps
That's amazing quality for ~$20. Back in the day around that price would land you a "VR3" brand subwoofer that would make a loud popping noise if turned up to a decent sounding volume. Now you can get one of these that can actually handle entry-level amps, and could last years too!
Ok that’s just insane. Old School $20 (wholesale) 12” Thump subs were complete garbage and sold for $59.95 in stores. They had a tiny 20 oz magnet paired on an aluminum voice coil former, fast-on terminals and yellow foam surrounds. They looked like toys, sounded like toys and were a general waste of money.
This sub is an incredible value. I’m shaking my head!
You and me both! I bought 8 more of them to play around with 😜
I remember thump and thump pro. What about the garbage that was sold called Hella Beats, remember those.
Pyle Drivers and Super Pros, gold label Kickers and Legacy amps.
I had a 65 watt x 2 coustic amp pushing 2 Atomic 10s in a custom bsndpass that i just guessed on for airspace and port dimensions. I hit a grand dlam on that box as it actually broke the lock on my trunk and broke the rear view mirror off the window. I still can't figure out how i got so much bass out of less than 150 watts and it seems too ridiculous go ever try it again. Most of my boxes back in my jr high and high school days were 16x17.5x whatever because I could have home depot cut the 48" width of a sheet of mdf into 3 equal 16" pieces maximize the use of my precious mdf with little waste. Oh, those were the days. Lol Thanks for sparking some good memories.
When i first read the title for video, it reminded me of when you would be driving around and hear on the radio about a super sale coming into town and they shout "12 in woofers, just 39 bucks" and then you get there and it would be garbage.
I did get my first real pair of subwoofers at one of those shows when I was in 6th grade though. 2 kicker comp 12s for 75 bucks each. That was when you had to spend over 100 to get anything that could handle over 200 watts.
@@wal Isobaric? Same box, see how much powa they can handle continuous (wouldn't try and blow em up on purpose) :)
M&M Godfather! Find some of them!
That moment when a blaupunkt $20 dollar sub handles more power than a Rockville k9 🤣🤣🤣
Facts😂😂😂😂😂
Forreal.. that thing was handling 800rms it’s rated at 400rms
Lmao😂😂😂
Hey you should have did a long term test at a certain htz like 50 or 60 or even 70 htz and see how long it could really handle 400 watts rms and the compare it to a leading manufacturer
yea I'd like to see that
I did a 50hz test for a minute straight with two of them ran parallel in a bandpass running 4 ohs off a kenwood 500 watt amp. They did just fine. Didn’t stink or smoke or clip. But yeah if you hook up a 3000 watt amp to them and send it, yeah they’re gonna shred.
@@ButtermilkL0veNugget Exactly..false review or j4f
Cajje Sra - false review? They didn’t even see over 1kw.
I can’t believe how huge this channel has grown. Way to go man, and killer video as always!
You or me either. Just having fun, working hard and living the dream!
Now that you have that beautiful clear enclosure, you need to start doing melt down Mondays. We expect the death of an inexpensive sub weekly or bi weekly. Great video!
For a very cheap budget subwoofer that wasn't too bad. Take a decent 500 watt amp on a pair of those in a small bandpass or even a small sealed enclosure and I'd bet it would sound good for very little money.
It's actually very good, I've seen far worse for such prices.
It does. That’s my set up exactly and it sounds fine
Great observation!
ButtermilkL0veNugget 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You'll need a Qts
Walmart also has a blaupunkt amp that claims 563 watts rms at 4 ohms for $41. That would be a great budget build, $61 sub and amp combo.
Big congratulations to you on the 100k subscriptions. You worked hard on that. You did it big D!
Thanks man, only took 10 years!! Persistence and hard work pays off, not to mention having the BEST audience I could ever ask for. You guys rock 🤘
Reminds me 9f our subs back in the 90's bet it would be a perfect matchup with a punch 75hd
Man I remember that feel the bass song! Your bring back memories
I just love the way the box looks
Great to see a sub people would actually buy being tested. Budget speaker is solid
Love it! Might be starting a new trend of blowing cheap subwoofers
You did it before me. I just wanted a cheap sub for the $150 SPL challenge. I can use several of these 👈😬
Definitely sounded good for $20. Wish more people understood you don't have to spend thousands to get good sound. Just take a little time, match up all the specs, and enjoy! Loving the Gately Box too, best full plexiglass work I've see by far!
This $20 sub is an insane value. I bought 8 of them after playing with this one 😬
@@wal for real bigd?!
@@wal Would love to see some installed in a vehicle with some sound tests and db ratings, maybe a side by side compare with a $100 sub with the same RMS ratings? I'm not a fan of the 88db sensitivity rating on these, but you get what you pay for...
I'm overdue to subscribe...been to a few of your vids for the dynos. Would love to see more sub test. You are a standard sir.
The moment I realize this is from March 17 2019....not 2021.
Love watching your videos... Love learning more about anything!!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Pretty sure i saw some peaks in the 900w+ range so thats even more impressive. Wow $20 what a deal. I bet it would handle 500w all year long. Great video
Would a 1500 watt sub mess up a 400 watt amp or amp mess up the speakers
@@gageard5246 nah but it well be under powered and not hit as hard on rms power
It was sounding pretty darn good before it blew. Lol. Would be a nice sub to use with an old Punch 150. Great video BigD!! 👌
Yessir!
Glad you did this video you really do listen To your followers that's awesome
I absolutely do!! I love suggestions and if they are good ones then even better. Was that your suggestion before?? If so, great idea!!
You Killin it with these walmart videos
Peeps love Walmart Electronics 😊
Blaupunkt sub went down swingin!!! 🤜🏻🤜🏻🤜🏻
I would return it for a Walmart satisfaction guarantee.
😂😂😂😂
Save money,blow better I mean live better
i always wondered about those subs, Thanks for the review DWiz
I bought 8 more after testing this one 😜
We need more videos like this.....it was great
This could be nice for a low power DIY home theater sub!
BassAddict96 definitely
Or 8 of them!
or on my golf cart and not even worry about pressure washing it lol
I do with a 10inch logitech z5500 woofer in a sealed box😅😂😂😂😂 it is my sub in my bang&olufsen setup😅😍 4active speakers and a passive sub😂
If you just had 50 to 100 watts it would of been fine for 10 years no let’s push it to 800 watts
That acrylic enclosure is bad ass.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I really liked this video. 1. It was in 4K. Awesome idea. We need more 4K video of this stuff. The quality and bit rate were excellent. 2. You pushed the most budget sub ever to its limit. Like the "budget gem" thing you and Ryan highlight with amps, it would be cool to see how much you can get out supposedly junk Walmart/flee market subs.
My only constructive criticism: every time Blaupunkt gets mentioned, I think there should be a disclaimer about how they used to be one of the greats in audio. I hate to think there are people who's only knowledge of Blaupunkt is this mass produced, sweatshop stuff, that's no where to the same company from 30 years ago.
I have the 10 inch version of that Blaupunkt sub driving it with a Blaupunkt 560w rms class D amp. I am still pleased with it a year later for a budget sub situation.
Love the old school DJ.MAGIC MIKE. He is still the king of BASS!!!
@2:57
CLASSIC MAGIC MIKE...
sir, you know your classics👏
FEEL THE BASS📈
SMELL THE BASS📉
@5:55 NESTLE CRUNCH effect🤣
Just bought this sub for $24 along with the 10 inch version for $21 and I have to say I'm very impressed! I have it hooked up to an old powerbass amp from 2005 I believe "ASA 400.2" rated at 400watts bridged into 4ohms and this single 12inch bumps my truck, I'm planning to buy another set there so cheap lol and they look good!
Luv the acrylic clear sub box nice job fellas

Do you think you could test out the Rockford p300-12? Or the p500-12p. The p500-12p is super new
i had some GBW801's on a RP 350.1 sounded great. I would like to see more budget subs taking what they claim to handle!! I think it would be a great series. from all brands.
I ran all blaupunk highs and mids back in 96 along with ppi sadona and 3 jl's they sounded amazing i wish you wold do this to more subs
I’m old enough to remember Blaupunkt was a pretty amazing piece of gear in your car. Unfortunately like so many things it’s now just a brand.
I lost it when redd fox said You big dummy 🤣
That was impressive how it held up to 600 watt rms continuously. For 20$ it’s pretty impressive
proof anything can sound good with the right box & power!
A sub that says it's name when it dies :)
I bet 4 of those on an 800 watt amp would do pretty well though..
Cool upload as always Big D.🍺🇺🇸🍺
1200watt cuz they could handle 300 okay
I’ve got a 1000 watt Rockford amp been thinking about running 4 12’s why not
Ok I purchased 4 of em ported 8 cubes and they get very loud, louder than 2 kicker l7s I had previously.

I agree. Like some variety in my vids
Id almost be willing to send you one of my sundown x8s if you slap it on that Orion 5000 😂😂

Awe jeah!
Bought sixteen of them for an old school 90's budget build in a clamshell.
👈😲
Please tell me it's an S10
S10 with shaved door handles and gray and purple graphics
what did they run on the meter?
Why big dummy
I had a set of 5 1/4 Blaupunkt components I paid 100$ bucks brand new in 1998. Those speakers sounded incredible. I was so impressed. I know good sound and understood they were just cheap speakers but they sounded great.
Their gear used to be mid line, not sure what they are doing now 🤷♂️
Dude, for 20 bucks, that's impressive. I'm not a car audio guy (home theater geek myself) but I bet that'd handle what MOST plate amplifiers could throw at it, well down into the frequencies.
I bet so too
Blaupunkt made great highs in the 90's blaupunkt highs with fosgate bass Alpine head unit that was the setup then you couldn't go wrong with those
They did for sure
Yes! When they burst in to the aftermarket scene in the early to mid 90's their 6x9s were damn impressive actually. It was a review in either Car Stereo Review or Car Audio magazine that amped me and my buddies to get some.
@@07zx14White ohh their 6x9's put all to shame i used to love the pioneer 4way coaxial back then but those were way better
Kevin Ball
Oh yeah, car audio and electronics magazine did review these subs and they said it worked fairly well.
That was a perfect sub to smoke! Cheap and plenty of them.
Exactly...lots of fun to see it in the clear box too 🤙
Dereck, I've had 4 of these sitting here for a couple weeks for use in the $150 SPL Challenge. Haven't opened them up. Did yours come with any recommendations for enclosure size? Obviously for SPL purposes, you might want to raise the port tuning but, I'm thinking these might be okay in the right size box for a daily beater work vehicle as well. Just need to find the right size for enclosure. 👍
Nope, but I’m trying them in the big RF ported Box I have the PWR12’s in right now.
An actual review with these types of tests, I know most of these subs are junk but I've heard some great cheap subs. Infinity reference being great for no money!
Infinity never disappoints
6 of those 12s with a nice 1000 watt continuous power amp would rock the world.
Probably build a bad ass bass set up for around 300 to 400 bucks.
Prob cost more for the wood too 😜
@@wal yes sir. Haven't purchased MDF in years. Add what...150 in MDF and carpet?
Either way...reminds me of a system this kid made for his Dorm room at OSU. He had like 16 12s he got off Ebay and a 3000 watt cheapo amp. Thing rocked the entire building.
@@jiakabery3550 that's awesome! Let me know how it turns out! I'm using these also in the $150 SPL challenge, more info in an upcoming video
@@wal that's awesome! 2 ways to get lots of bass.
Lots of power...or lots of surface area.
Can't wait for the video!
@@jiakabery3550 its only like $23 4' x 8' sheet and no carpet needed for an spl build..
It's funny, I remember Blaupunkt was considered pretty high end back in the 1970's
Dude that was just awesome. Saw some over 900w peaks there.
4 of these in a trunk would be no joke, even at only 150w rms lol.
I have 4 of these in my trunk on a skar 2000.1d @ 4ohms, so 800 watts rms...sound awesome, get yourself 4 of them!
Back in the 90’s I owned a couple of 10” had them in a band pass single ventilation set up and they used to sound very good
Back in the day blaupunkt was some good audio equipment
It is a good brand, but that bass is made for quality audio not for SPL test
That was impressive and handled the excess power very well (949W is a little 'over spec') :-)
Only a tiny bit
@@CactusJack252 18%
I just went to order this $20 sub since it held up as well as it did to your tests. It’s now $46.36.
Seeing this video reminded me I still have the 10" versions (GBW101) of these in my truck sub box under the seat powered by 600rms sub channel on a pioneer 9605 and they still sound as good as they did almost 5 years ago when i installed them when I was really poor. I'm looking to upgrade them though now to something else more expensive/better bass but will still fit the thunderform Dodge Dakota box like these did.
Awesome do more videos like that
It was not my norm, but the most fun video I’ve made in a while 😎
Blau blau... Blaupunktftctzzz..... smoke...
... but worth every penny. Good video!

I enjoyed that!!!. Great vid.

The Box looks badass
Bobby Gately is da man!!
Damn, For 20 bucks it ain't half bad, I think I might actually pick up a couple of these to mount in my truck
Price has jumped to $28, but still great deal
None of yall including enclosure in the cost
I think it did reasonably well for it's price. Got me curious, so it modeled up in WinISD. The parameters look like a compliance controlled driver, and WinISD agreed suggesting a sealed 1.5cu^ft box - so I'll stick with that. Seeing a compliance controlled driver at this price point is very unusual. They don't list xmax or xlim (missing too many Thiele-Small parameter), but I'm feeling pretty confident that it doesn't have 1/2" excursion capability to handle 400W RMS @ 45hz (the natural -3db it would roll off in said box), let alone 11/16" through 3/4" at 30hz... Probably best suited for a 150~200W RMS amp (150W I think would push it pretty close to my best guess of reasonable xmax and xlim). The group delay numbers look nice and tight - again, that's extremely surprising at this price point and far from what I was expecting. Based on what I can analyze, it theoretically should make for some pretty tight bass although very quiet sub in said box. I can est. about 108db output at 150W (not taking into account cabin gain) - which should work okay in a paired set with most factory radio setups. Very fun watching it blow up. Keep up the great content! :-)
I'm convinced though that it just wouldn't last that long / take abuse like a JL product could... I suppose if the end use was extremely careful, but I've just not seen a lot of lower cost subs take longterm abuse. There's always the one off's however and maybe I'm wrong, but I've never had issues with JL Audio, RF, Kicker...
@@07wrxtr1 I agree, I don't think it'll be a good long term sub, esp for more demanding users (I know it wouldn't last for me). I was looking at it more closely for s*t and giggles - plug the Thiele-Small Parameters into the software and see what happens when I look at the resulting default model. I don't think it's exactly awful for some installs from a $20 value perspective. But I certainly am not or would I ever imply it's a high quality sub like a JL, Rockford, etc. - it is in fact quite limiting from my perspective.
It sealed would’ve kept all of that lovely smoke inside 👈😬
@@wal true enough!!! 8D
Actually it doesnt have tight bass its more of a more boomy bass it lacks tight bass significantly.
that enclosure is crazy omg
mid 90s i had 6 12" blaus in a 79 coup deville , head unit and amps. it hit soooo hard
I saw around 900 watts at some point. I'm surprised it took that! 949 as I'm typing lol... Wow
You and me both!
Did you notice the impedance when it was getting 900... Pretty sure the box tuning gave them the fighting chance
People mad about blowing it instead of giving it away??? Dude it’s the price of lunch for two at McDonald’s if that lol
Fun ass vid. I like that acrylic enclosure
Thanks. I’m still getting hate, but all is good round here
Williston Audio Labs I’m not hating. Just should’ve ran them with an amp that’s compatible and shown what they can do before you just shredded it. They are a good sub for a low budget build.
Sweet vid man and well I just ordered two of theses 👍
Walmart is lit up with Blau 12” sub orders!!
@@wal oh i bet haha and what size box do these need can't find nothing anywhere.
I have three eights in bass tubes, and they actually hit hard. Bought them a year ago sounds great. Got each one for twelve dollars.
Awe yeah 🤙
I have an old Blaupunkt Velocity V7000 amp from the mid 90's. They were built in the US at Rocktron's pro audio factory. It had anti-clipping circuitry built in. Still have one of the two I bought. May run a three-way active setup with it (if it still works)!
That’s an awesome amp right there!
I almost bought one of those $19 10" blaupunkt woofers just for shits and giggles. For the price, its s decent sub.
I'll tell you this though, theres gotta be some extreme sweatshop labor going on in order to bring a speaker like that to be sold for $19. They must cost like 3 or 4 dollars in china for them to make money off off those bring sold for that price. Either that, or some extreme mismanagement when they calculated how many were going to be sold.
RIP little buddy.
Blaupunkt is a big german company.. They make stereo amp speaker and are at least one of the bigger europen company that make carsound. But they do OEM stuff. Aftermarket they don`t do so nice looking stuff but high quality
its a 12 dummy
These must be a loss leader for Walmart. No way they are making a profit after free shipping 🤷♂️
@@AlanRaybasshead I know it is but I was thinking about getting a 10 when I saw it at the store. Its not that difficult of a concept to process. You're really stretching to jump at a chance to display your mental superiority for all the CZcams world to see. Seems like maybe you've been called a dummy one too many times and now you're out to show the world how much of a "not a dummy" you are, am I right?
@@wal i think youre probably right. Thats why i said there must have been some extreme miscalculations on the projected demand for these woofers.
I have 2 of those bridged mono along with 2 of the 8 inch subs on a audiobahn 6 channel amp in my van and they play very well
Awesome 👏
I have two of these Subs in my wife car on 2 MTX RT2100 which are pushing out 280 Watts RMS have been playing them for two years no problem at all. I paid 29 dollars each from Fry Electronics. They're in a custom 32 Hertz 2.2cubic feet box. Sounds great.
Thanks for the feedback
I had an American Bass 12 I got for like 70 bucks on Amazon, read the spec sheet and saw 600 watts but didn't realize it was the peak rating. I was pounding it with a 1k rms rated amp for good 4 months, it would get smelly from time to time. Started noticing it would make some weird sounds at certain frequencies, but others were loud and clear. I ended up replacing it but the sub still plays. Just sounds off on certain notes. I was dumbfounded as to what could have caused it. I've never had a sub react like that.
American Bass is NOT a cheap walmart sub. I have an AB XFL 15 on 2500 watts and still plays mint. Rms is 1500.
@@BassheadGTP I never said it was, American Bass makes great products.
@@Avaddon911 absolutely i have the xfl1244 and it sounds amazing. im a huge fan of hard hitting lows and the xfl1244 does it with perfection even on the low volume i can still hear the low bass which is hard to get especially since im using a smaller than spec enclosed box.
@@Zack-dk3pt I was definitely impressed by the quality of sound I got out of the woofer, and it took over 2x it's power rating for a good 6 months before I started noticing any problems.
I'm pretty sure the issue was a voltage drop from having a bad battery in my system anyways.
I replaced it and I'm running a Memphis mojo5 12 now on about 1500 rms. It's also in too small of an enclosure because I have it in the box for the AB 12. Can't wait to build a new box for it 😂😂😂
You did NOT just do that... That was a BLAUPUNKT!
YOU OWE ME A BLAUPUNKT!
Josh Redman what??
If i was him and i seen this comment i would ask for your addy and send the blowed on to ya lmao
You are the Dr. Phil of Subwoofers👌🏼👌🏼
If I made as much as Dr Phil then I’d make more vids 😬
One of my very first systems back in the day consisted of 4 12" Kenwood KFC-W3002 subs in bandpass. I seriously doubt they were as good as this sub and I remember them being in the neighborhood of $200 cdn each! We all thought it was crazy loud too, could hear me coming for miles haha!
Yeah, subs like this were hella-xpensive back then
You should do more woofer reviews. Do it for SCIENCE!! 😂😁
I hate they dont make these dual 4 ohm
Its worth more than 20, it can handle 500 watts easily till a long time.
At 4:15 that Dam sub took 949 watts!!! And kept going thanks for the review definitely worth the money considering it was not supposed to go anywhere near that and the rms rate is def not that thanks alot two thumbs up 👍👍
I'm impressed that it has a removable motor, that's surprising.
That sub was pounding for $20
You said it brother!
To all the "german brand" comments:
Blaupunkt is made in China for many years now.
In the 2000's they sell licences to let china produce cheap stuff with theyr name on it (what you normally do when you cant produce as cheap as the chineese do but you have a name that people trust, like its the last chance to keep the Brand alive)
The brand got bankrupt in 2016.
China still produce this Kind of electronics.
Sorry for my Bad englisch :)
That has happened to many brand name good quality manufacturers, all us old school guys can no longer just rely on buying by name anymore. It is worse when they still charge a premium price for the name but you get fleamarket quality goods.
@@JB-wq6yi Remember how serious Nakamichi was in the 80's? Right before Sears went under, the Nakamichi name was revived and found in their stores in the form of $10 headphones and $20 soundbars , and even that was too much $ for the absolute shit quality you got in return. That one, for myself anyway, is the worst but also best example of the point you're making.
i have 2, 12in blaupunkt subs pushing 1600 watts. idk how they haven't blown but its been 2 years. Still going strong.
Looks quite nice!
Thank yee 👍
