It is one thing to get the rated power on the SMD AD-1 Amp Dyno, which is pure torture to an amp in itself. But when you hook up an amp to the AMM-1 and do a REALTIME test, on speakers, it is much more realistic. When subwoofers (any speaker for that matter) move, the impedance rises which causes the amp power to change dramatically depending on how much rise there was during testing and of course what frequency. I really wanted to just test the box itself but it ended up being an AMP test also! WOW! Great little amp and very nicely priced too!
I did make the mistake of thinking it was a 1,000 watt single subwoofer, preloaded box...i think the model number SDR-1K12D2 made me automatically think that without looking. The SDR 1k12D2 is in fact a 600 watt RMS box, says so right on the side! DUH! well it took a lot more than that! Sounded funny but after cooling it seemed to be not so bad...but i think i did damage it. That is OK, i replaced it with an SVR 12D2 which is 800w rms / 1600w peak sub. And now, it is time to find out who get's it...
If you want to win this combo, just watch the video and see how. Thanks for watching!

Hello,im from Gainesville Florida, i have a 1996 maxima ready for some bass. I’ve really entered in contests before but I figured i might as well since im always watching.
Here form Massachusetts.this would be perfect for my wife's SUV I'm trying to do a stereo upgrade for our 10 year anniversary. Love the videos
Bro I always wanted a skar box and sub but never could get it and the amp plz I would love to have it
I’m from HAWAII MAUI and I own a Nissan truck
I really appreciate him doing a review on this even though he uses and has access to super high-end way better equipment he doesn't lose touch with other people in their budgets. I have those subs, I like skar honestly they make good stuff for sure.
I have switched almost all speakers in my 3 vehicles to Skar and drive them with my Rockford Fosgate Amplifiers. I love Skar equipment and honestly put them up with anyone else's speakers. That says alot from a guy who has been a solid Rockford Fosgate guy since 1993.
Yeah i agree bud Steve's a legend but his goatee is the beez kneez
Totally agree I am trying to build a very budget under my rear seat in my ext cab chevy. Been trying to find solid reviews of SKAR and this has helped tremendously!!!
Ya I was looking at the known one of my buddies was telling me about his son just got a skar 12 loved it had an issue called skar they sent him a brand new one free so he ordered a second one. He is poweri g with a cerwin Vega amp but I think I will pair skar with skar.
Skar is a great brand overall. Just stay away from the EVL subwoofers, as they are known and prone to fail. And they have not so good ts parameters, which us a dead giveaway.
If anyone is on the fence about Skar, don’t be. Skar audio makes great stuff for the money. I have two Skar 10’s in my WRX and it’s ridiculously loud.
What amp do you have for those?
@@carlosalvarengaf1771 I have a 2000 watt California Profile amp. It’s obnoxious loud as my buddy once described it😂
Which model of the skar sub did u get
@@Cocobuggin sdr-10 d4 is the model. They’re great subs!
Nice I’m about to put a skar 10 in my WRX. I’m cool with just a ten. Already upgraded everything else.
Being a single father I’ve never been able to buy a system I’ve always had use my money to take care of my son but he’s now 21 and I’m 44 so he bought a 8 inch Skar last month. I think it would be really cool to show everyone we have the same Skar brand and dad finally got him some sound by SMD
Have enjoyed your videos for the last 15 years. Truly an inspiration.
College student from Montgomery, AL here. I’ve been watching your videos for the past 6-7 years and I would love to put it in my 1997 Nissan Maxima as my first system!!!
*seriously good luck to everyone and to who ever wins this setup since I know most of us here could use this to brighten up our car rides making it more enjoyable seriously good luck to everyone on here*
Thanks SMD for showing the testing on this product. I’ve e been wanting to put something decent without breaking the bank in my drop 71 442. I think I’ll feel better now about the purchase thanks to your videos.
I live in Hungary (central europe) and me and my friends are planning on building a boombox, for home parties and that sort of thing, so I would not be using this in a car since I don't have one. But interestingly in the past month I was looking at different subs and Skar audio was one of the options because it has a great price and relativly good reviews. If I were to win It would save us lot of money and time spent designing the ported box.
Can confirm Chief! We'd go ham with that beast
So can I
It would mean immense help
All we need is a strobe light and we're good to go bois 😂😏
Tulare Ca....07 Jeep Compass on 22s... Jeep Compass!!!! On twin dueces!!!!! JEEP COMPASS....ON DOUBLE DUECES....KNOCKING SKAR!!!!
I'm from Tulare also..
Whats up. This is Mike Anderson. I live about an hr and a half north of sac in Red Bluff. I haven't had a system in years and a rescent install in my daughters '98 passport got my juices flowing again. She's running a Skar sdr-10 dvc-4. The amp i got her is crap but wanna experiment first. The 1200watt skar amp in this video would pair perfectly for her whole system.
Skar audio is a new name to me but i want to run a skar system in my '18 silverado z-71 too.Can't wait to do these installs.
Thx for the videos. They've helped get me up to speed again.
I'm in Maryland and have two 12" Skar subs in my 2019 Suburban. The sound is unbelievable for such a low price. Purchased them a year ago and they're still punching.
I heard about Skar audio a few years ago. For a 3 year warranty and the price it was, I had to try it. I've been impressed by their stuff. It doesn't sound as good as the Alpine Type r's I had, but I did pay a lot more for them. Skar audio is perfect for me. Since I have become a father I am constantly having to ball on a budget.
At 5:06 for a good laugh. We’ve all done that and freaked out. Glad it wasn’t you taking the life of your amp. Good equipment usually hangs tough. Thanks Steve. We appreciate you for doing these real world tests.
Have been thinking of just building a Skar audio system in my Rzr and this helped me make that decision for sure. Thanks!
This is a great deal! I installed this in the family car and it sounds great! My wife was on the fence about it but after she played her Cristian music she fell in love with the system lol the audiocontrol epicenter does help alot too.
Hi chief! This sub looks to be a beast! Me and my bro's (living in Hungary) are looking to build a rather large portable speaker setup. This looks to be a perfect fit. In fact we just saw the exact model 2 weeks ago and calculated with the price and power. We'd sure make good use of it!
What a class act of a dude to help others get into sound! Got a like and follow outta me
Bruh your a sound master of subs . The technology and thought process of testing is what we all need to see with these subs and amps to see what company is putting out quality products is a true testament of all of our love for the thump of bass. 2008 honda accord lx
You are the man, I have 2/12 skar.you made me get the lc7i. It was when you gave it to your friend. I'm from South Carolina, wish you were here, I love that you give back
Those Skar subs can take a beating. I've been putting 1600 watts to 2 Skar SDR subs that are rated for 600 each and they've been taking it for months.
Hey Steve, great video. I'm Nick from Utah and if I won I would put that in my yukon since my system i worked hard for was stolen. Thanks for the opportunity. I enjoy all your uploads, keep up the good work.👍
This would be the perfect setup for my daughter's 2011 Nissan sentra. I have always had system setups and I put a hand me down one in hers. Would love to surprise her with this. I always hear her pulling in the driveway bumping my old school rap I played her as a kid. Love the Skar audio quality they are putting out these days. Keep up the good videos.
From Jackson Tennessee here! Love your videos they have helped me a lot and have given me ideas for my sound systems. I would put this in the wife’s 11kia sorento so that we could jam out with the kids on road trips back to Georgia to see family
I first bought skar audio subs at the beginning of 2020 and now I bought a full skar audio sound system, some of their insane level component speakers, some of their FSX loudspeakers and a 4 channel skar amp and I don't think I'll ever go back to kicker or others
I just bought that speaker with the Skar 800.1 amp and love it. It hits nicely for the money. I got the 12" SDR Skar subwoofer, the skar 800?1 amp, and a 4 guage wiring kit for $320.
Great sound for the money, can't beat it!! I love my Skar equipment. 🔥🔥👍🏼💯
Has it broken down yet I’m thinking about getting the kit?
Man I love Skar! I have a Dodge Charger 2018 and would definitely finish off what I have already started. Love your vids bro keep it up ! Hella nice work been following for a long time now
I'm originally from Omaha, Nebraska. I moved to Atlanta in '95 and fell in love with hip-hop and bass. My current car is a 2022 Lexus es350 f sport with the Mark Levinson sound system. That Skar sub and amp would compliment my existing speakers and add some back massagers to the rear seats!
From Charlotte, NC... I'd love to put that in my wife's car, she is about to start medical school and she deserves an upgrade to her system.
Nice. This reinforces the fact that an EVL-12 can take a pounding. Skar's badass. Crispy bass with jazz and decent rock kick drum. Thank goodness I ditched PA
They can take a beating! Almost a year of abuse on some 12” evls and still going strong, ran a sdr on a crossfire 6k and lasted about 2 weeks but I abused it like crazy!
I'm glad I found your channel. Your content is great.
Tucson AZ, here and wanted to add that I recently installed 2 - 12 Skar Audio subs along with the Skar 1500 amp and I am blown away. I have them faced outward in my Toyota Sequoia. Skar Audio is lit. I would install this into my sister's car as the gift of bass. Awesome video btw.
Who else jumped when the speaker wire sparked at 5:00? I know I did 🤣
2016 wrx whould love to have sub and amp. Had to sell mine so lil ones could have a decent Xmas been watching your videos for years love them!! 45min west of Chicago
im 45 north of chicago bro. hope ur kids have a good christmas u sound like a good dad. take care
SMD, always coming through for the fans. My nephew is 17, just got his license and purchased his first vehicle. A Dodge Durango. His dad is planning on helping him put a system in, it would be cool to be able to surprise him with a setup like this as his first system. All love, thanks for all the videos man.
I just bought this amp AND IM EXCITED NOW
Skar audio really a great brand, they got ther stuff down pact
Don't forget the price either 😉
Except for their customer service apparently
@@BIGMAN-dj9yg idk I returned some speakers cause they weren’t they right side it was easy all I had to was print a shipping label and ship it and i got my money back
People hate on them but they seem good to me. Steve seems to say things about them so yeah

My names felipe Lopez and I’m from Springfield missouri and if by some chance I ended up with that beautiful sub and amp I would put in my cavalier z-24 I saved up for a few months and got a head unit and sub and amp is my next goal I simply love music and having some loud bass is like the icing on the cake
I got a 95 gmc 1500 and I’m 17 from Antioch California watching your videos has made me really get into sound systems and would love a sub and amp!
I have an 08 Cadillac DTS,it had a system in it before but I just can’t afford one right now with the kids starting school so I hooked up my old bose house speakers to it. They have a little bass but I would love to have a sub and amp again. Had some nice systems when I was young now I’m 45 and raising three grandkids but I still like to hear and FEEL my music. Thanks Steve!!!
I'm from Ohio, I am wanting to surprise a friend with a install in his 95 towncar. He has 5 kids and spends his spring and summers commercial fishing in alaska. He has no time or money to do much and only can drive his car a few months a year with his kids.
Hi My name is Tyrone that would be perfect for my son 1st car he has a chevy blazer that would be perfect for him. He would love it! Were both bass heads! Thanks! We're from Salt Lake City.
Putting together my first system.. Piecing together a lil bit at a time.. From Michigan.. Shout out to SMD.. definitely an inspiration.. Merry Christmas everybody.. Stay safe.. Catch y'all on the flip
Im In NYC, I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee, been watching your videos for 10 years man!!! I finally am ready to do my own system.
💥🤞👃I would like to put this in my 2014 Impala. It's a perfect Size still have space for groceries.
I live near Dallas, TX

Oceanside cali living... would love to put this in my Cadenza. Bass head for life. Kids are grown and time to get back to spoiling myself for once. Thanks meade for the continued content. Been a fan for years. Blessings brotha
Whats up with Skar? Our local guy says they suck but everyone on youtube seems to love em
He dosent sell them. Thats why they suck.
@@keithfreeman4015 I Kinda figured as much lol
My Local Guy said Orion sucks... Its because they dont carry them. It is a Sales things. Everything sucks that they dont carry.
This the video I needed to see I just ordered the sdr18 With this box with rp1200W I was wondering if it could take 1200.
I think it can if tuned right but the sub is only 600 rms what are you going to run it at 1 ohm or 2 ohm
@@slitherman7883 1ohm im pushing 1200w to it holding up good but I dont play it that hard continuously
@@kendrickcontent go for it, the entire SDR line is very affordable. Worst-case scenario you trash the speaker and have to spend $140($127 on Amazon). That's not life-altering consequences.
Yes but don’t clip it and let it cool down very often
02 suburban looks like a perfect setup right behind the 3rd row seat an still have room for groceries probably just enough to really enjoy when I do ride with wife or by self to an from work or dropping the kids off at school. Great video I enjoy your channel. Keep em coming
Its Steve and Sara from Middletown Pennsylvania, Bought a 2006 Nissan Xterra from my sister, with blown speakers. Replaced the two front speakers with some cheap Pyle 6.5 component sets. I just turned 40 this year, and after replacing the door speakers it brought me back in time when I was totally into car audio systems. Another reason I want this set up is to prove my Best Friend there is nothing wrong with the Skar system. I've been looking at this speaker and Amp for weeks and weeks. I know they preform great, but he just don't have the faith. My best friend is comparing the Skar to his JL W13. The only reason I haven't purchased it yet is due to lack of funds, but when I do get a amp and sub, I still have my 4 Gauge wire and remote cables still from 22 years ago.
I don't know how he doesn't go deaf with the sound of all those machines constantly. Music is one thing but constant noise of those machines over a long period of time is worse.
Money to his ears. 😆
I gave my son the 8”preloaded skar enclosure so he has bass in his bedroom.
So, I’m from Cozad, Nebraska.
I drive a 1984 Chevy S10 single cab long box. I pieced together a budget system for it with three alpine 10” type s shallow subs, hifonics amp in a custom enclosure to the specs available behind the seats. Wired to 1 ohm. It absolutely pounds. My wife very rarely rides in my pick up as it doesn’t have AC. I took her on a date night a couple months back and she fell in love with the stereo. Now she wants one in her 2009 Chevy HHR.
Unfortunately, I’ve been laid off during the Covid pandemic. So I’ve been unable to get anything put together for her as we’re surviving on her income alone. Just trying to feed our 7 year old and not get evicted. If I was to win this, I’d surprise her with it installed in her car and win husband of the year. Love the videos sir. Keep up the good work.
Just bought one of these scar loaded boxes. Only running on a cxa400 Wich is doing about 600 watts at 1ohm. Sounds really good. Even if sub doesn't last I love the box and I'll throw in a kicker R . Because I have a new one laying around. But so far I love it. In my commuter car so wasn't going for anything I was afraid of being stolen or needed alot of electrical
800 watts max on the SDR. 1000 watts max on the SVR.
U know this already. 😎. By the way your installs are insane honestly some of the coolest that I’ve ever seen wireless bass that’s crazy I didn’t even know that existed
LMAO All these people still trying to get a sub and amp from a giveaway almost 11 months ago.
I have 10" EVL skar in a subaru outback, and it shakes my mirror off... Definitely an underrated sub... I love it
THANKS.... THIS HELP ME ALOT GOING FOR SKAR AMP
Need that in my wife 15 Explorer from South Louisiana ,she never ask for anything and it would sound better than the factory 8 lol
I have a chevy spark i want to put those in will they sound good
I have this amp and two 8" sdr. I'm afraid I might burn up my alternator or stock battery with this setup. Can anyone help me know if this 1200.1 amp is too big for a stock electrical on a 2018 Chevy Spark? Is there any after market alternators for it? Like mechman? Thanks for the video!
Love your videos. Been watching for years.
From Kennewick, WA. Just picked up an old school ski boat and this would definitely get thrown in there for next summer!
5:06 😂
Steve how much would it cost for a box for a 15 and a 800 watt amp?
Like 300-400
Lol, ended up proving how good they are even more. That’s great, I just bought a 10” svr preload 600w on the sub 800w on the amp. Can’t wait to put my hands on it !!!!!!! My lil hatchback Audi A3 will bang af

Hey steve, From mississauga, Ontario. looking forward to adding a system to my nissan sentra, I got a lot of passion for sound systems. I've been helping out friends for a few years now by setting up systems for them. But I think it's time I treat myself for some bass after accident that left me without a vehicle for few years.
P.s your channel is the reason I got into building systems !

Ive known him for years, He was supposed to give it back when he got a new amp. I haven't seen him since that day. I guess he got his new amp huh? What a friend...
