      Landon Leavell I’ve had a Gothic but have never had a MOFO. However, from what I’ve seen and heard American Bass make better quality equipment over all and rates their subs more accurately than Power Acoustik

    First let me just say hey man preciate you spending the time to bring us this video. Second I want to say to all the trolls commenting on here before you even clicked on the video it says budget! And let me say after watching the video and being in car audio and home Audio for over 17 years! As I was watching a video I noticed that he was definitely dealing with cheap equipment (not a dis) let's be honest we all started with Walmart flea market your cousins or your best friend stuff using crappy speaker wire bullcrap RCA's boss amps whatever I've been there I've done it and I'm not ashamed to say it at all! Enclosing all I'm really trying to say is how about instead of having slamming or negative comments how about we all set there remember when we first started and what kind of bullcrap did you have and how you learned from it. And to you bro thanks for the video keep doing what you're doing I promise you you're inspiring people that you just don't even know best advice I can give to you is don't even comment on people with negative thought cuz I promise you nine times out of ten the guys leaving those comments either have paid far too much to have their local flea market install their car audio or I could probably more than likely blow their crap in their trunk out the water with some say Walmart Sony explodes. Keep doing what you doin

      Hahahaha your so wrong n I wasn't knocking on him other. I been BASS HEAD LONGER then your 17 years of hard work my friend. So dont judge me. I know my shit ok. American Bass is very good Subwoofers. I been to numerous of their audio competitions so I'm totally impressed with AB. But I do have my prefer choices too and since i live in Southern California we have many companies that come to car show to help sponsors variety of high end and low end audio companies. The guy that made this video is on right path and no I nevered brought any of my audio from Walmart. I GO STRAIGHT TO SOURCE. FULL WARRANTY COVERAGE you feel me. But I do believe his amp can be more wattage go 2000 watts. Trust me 2k watts u be amazed and your ported box too. That AB sub is beefy man. Go job and choice. I wont lie I have in bandpass inverted enclosure SPACE B12 3600WATTS and designed by VIBE it was $400 brand new when I bought it and its expensive now and cant get another cause its DISCONTINUE and Audio in UK. Vibe is #1 in UK. Here it's hard to say so so many awesome subwoofers and amazing companies. But I do have 1 that I will remain loyal too...PSI CAR AUDIO. I have 12' on the way and this Mark's my number 2 from PSI CAR AUDIO. Yes I blew my VIBE B12 when I was coming home from car show 9 years ago and to get it rebuilt I had to ship the entire thing to UK...$800 and that's not including shipping back cost and repairs. So thanks to PSI CAR AUDIO I didnt have to worry shipping to UK. They did amazing job on my Space B12 subwoofer I call it PSI rebuild SPACE B12. Oh it hits way harder then original...so if you need speakers rebuild PSI CAR AUDIO i highly recommend. But sorry bout the blah blah blah. But keep up the work and agree negative comments should not hurt you, build and become stronger off the negatives comments. You have my support. Good job! :)

      Yes, very impressive esp for the price!
      I remember getting my first big time sub, an Audiopulse Axis quad 1 ohm voice coil 12". Got on sale from parts Express for like $450 shipped to my door. Think it weighs about 52lbs and she's still rocking like 13 years later! Got that and a TC Sounds 15" Tropo I got lightly used for $75!
      Running them both off my Orion 2500 Watt after watching Big D's test of that amp at .8 ohms and even though the 12" Axis is in a crappy prefab box that's ported a bit high for my like the 15" TC Sounds is in a better box ported a good bit lower so it is really impressive for what it is.
      I'm probably starting from scratch since I left that system in the Xterra I sold to a good Buddy, aside from a few things I kept for the next system I'm building.
      Found a DC Audio stage 4 12" in a nice custom box I'm hoping to pick up in the next couple of days for about $160, and the Orion amp will go to that for the moment, and hopefully picking up a package deal on a Dual 12" loaded box, with 2 or 3 decent mids/highs amps along with some other miscellaneous speakers and stuff. So hoping that the lower end dual 12" subs and box will add a little to the DC Audio sub, and probably some good 6x9's in boxes plus decent speakers in the stock locations on this first generation Grand Cherokee should have me with something to fill the void till I can add to the system a little bit here and there..
      Great video, you've come a long way Parker and I'm still Enjoying your videos so keep up the good work Brother!

    I've had my eyes on the elites for a while. I've watched some of your videos on budget subs and I purchased the audio pipe bdc2. Which is an awesome sub it takes power well. It smells a lot during break in but that's expected. I have a amazing 800 watt amp that pushes this well. Though I believe I have maxed them out or it can be the 2 cubic feet box that I have them in. Nevertheless I need something bigger and more bass. I love a single sub setup and I don't want to change. Even though my amp is 1 ohm stable it still pushes 2 with relative ease. Now I have a question, could I buy an American Bass 4 ohm bringing it down to two ohms of course? Will it sound better than audio pipe in your opinion? Clearly the elites take 12 continuous and 2400 peak with audio pipe at 750 and 1500 max. Now that I'm writing this it is becoming more self explanatory. Rather my question should be do I just search for a budget 2 o sub that can take the power. Your opinion is greatly valued!

      I had 2 of the fat surround with the corny dx cone 12s doing 143.4 in a prefab ona kicker 1500.1 and it took 1 year to blow 1.
      Thats damn good for a cheap single coil sub.
      Im not sure how good the newer dx is but ive got the newer black double claw basket tnt 15s and id easily put 1400 real watt per sub and be comfortable doing it ever day.
      I used them with a ab vfl4480.1 but didnt get to meter that set up but i could tell it was definetely closer to 144.5 or so.
      Updated alt would of made a difference too cause it drained pretty good even with a dry cell in the back a yellow stinger.
      Probably could of gotten 145 or 146 with that amp with good alt.

    I got a dual 12-inch MTX Terminator subwoofer setup.
    very low power subs. not much excursion even at their rated power of about 100 to 250 watts RMS
    I dont know if the box is too small or what. but it is a ported/vented enclosure.
    each sub is 4 ohms.
    they reach thermal limit before they reach mechanical limit even when free air at 20hz. I think the coils are just undersized with undersized coil wire awg making them have poor power handling.
    they still get very loud though! using a 2x250W RMS amplifier to power them each at 4 ohms. amp is bridged from 4 channel down to 2 channel to power each sub individually
    I dont know why they dont move much between 30 and 60hz. i can put my hand on them and my hand doesnt move much
    they only start moving at 25hz and below really. at 14 and 18hz they move quite a bit

      @frankrivera9083 Před 5 lety

      What's the lowest you can wire them down to can they be wired to 1 ohm if so u will get the full amount of power out of them because at 4ohms ur not getting full power if ur Subs are 250w each and ur amp is 500w it has to be ran down to 1ohm to get the 500w if not ur probably only maybe 125w on each sub u can look it up how to run ur amp at a lower ohm it's really easy once u look up the manual but just make sure that your amp is stable at one of them if not you might have to run it at 2 ohms but you'll still get more power and ur Subs will move a lot more than they are now. hopefully i helped o and one more thing u don't really have to but it would probably be better it u got a monoblock amp (✌🏼💪🏼🔈💪🏼🔉💪🏼🔊)

    • @realflow100

      They are both single-coil 4 ohm subs.
      My amp can only handle two 4-ohm subs when bridged. it has 4 channels. can be bridged down to 2 channels.
      it outputs 250W RMS at 4 ohms bridged to each subwoofer. each subwoofer is hooked seperately to the two bridged channels.
      its stable at 2 ohms in all 4 channels unbridged.
      or 2x 4 ohms bridged to 2 channels. with 2x 250W RMS

      @andrevarnava6115 Před 5 lety

      What brand of amp is it? Some companies just straight up lie about the power they put out. If you get a monoblock or 2 channel amp they generally handle subs better. The 4 channels generally handle the mids and highs so they dont need TONS of power. But like Frank Rivera said, your probably only getting closer to 125 watts each sub. You say they get loud so I wouldn't do anything 👍👉😝👈
