    JBL BASSPRO 12 Powered Subwoofer
    NOTE: I made a mistake in the video. The box tuning frequency is around 38-40Hz as it is the low point between the two peaks (not 64Hz). I used the 2nd peak. I have since edited out that segment, but you will still see the text in the CONS portion. My apologies for the mistake. This error doesn't change my feelings about the sub.

    I actually have this same exact Powered Sub installed in my 2012 Infiniti G25 Journey With Some Kicker door speakers front and rear, sound deadening foam and 4 gage wire. I’m really happy with it, for a beginner subwoofer it doesn’t suck at all and I would buy it again. I’ve had it installed for a year now and no wear and tear, I’m actually going to get a subwoofer cover so I can start suing my trunk again, I’ve been lagging but it not having a factory cover is my only complaint from a first time sub buyer.

    Love the nerd content! It is something that goes through my mind, but I will admit to geeking out on the specifics at times!
    I wonder if you were to block off the port, how much lower would the resonant frequency drop? I’m guessing not much. My guess is in the low 60 hz area.

  • @TokeBoisen
    @TokeBoisen Před rokem +7

    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.

    • @Grommet2007

    I’d like to see the Rockford Fosgate powered subs and Kicker versions they had at SEMA 2022 reviewed. RF offers both sealed and ported versions. It would be interesting to see how they compared up against a budget setup of pre-made or even a DIY box with sub and amp. My guess would be you could build your own setup that would perform better for around the same price.

    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.

    No spl monster obvious, but was tight, deep and accurate. And it didn't blow up.

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.

      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 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 have an '05 Acura RSX Type-S, and the Cerwin Vega fits perfectly in the recessed area of my spare. It was the perfect budget solution and space saving. The factory carpet fits nicely over it.

    This is a good honest review. I put one of these into a friends car and was soo disappointed. It sounded like it was tuned to 50hz. I told her it would take a while to break in, but we were both underwhelmed. A cheap amp/sub/box combo would be so much better.

  • @8bpspfreak2

    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.

    @cebedojames Před rokem

    the vented box is way too small for the woofer. sealing the port would improve it a lot. most car subs actually would sound the best sealed because of the cabin gain of the car. the early roll off of the sub + cabin gain will have the flattest frequency response. You just need more subs to make it louder.

    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.

    Not sure if anybody already mentioned it
