I myself personally play a lot of different Subs. Bass specific sub is designed to play from 26 Hz up to about 50 Hz. This up also need roughly 1500 W RMS to reach its potential. They reason that so is expensive as it is is due to sundowns warranty as well as 5 year upgrade option.
when it’s put in a proper enclosure, based on specs and power and vehicle and performance goals, it would perform great and even better than 2 of the other subs you have tested. The enclosure is a huge part of the subwoofers performance abilities. Now I know you wanted to test a lot of subs and show us what we’re getting for the money and that’s awesome and thank you for doing that but I think you need to give them the information that the box is very important and if you made a specific enclosure for each one of these subwoofers, you would have a lot different results, with that being said that’s pretty hard to do and I commend you for doing at least what you’re doing now but I don’t think the sundown sa is A bad sub for the money when you put it in the proper enclosure and power it correctly. Thank you again for making content for the community and I’ll continue to check out your stuff, I just wanted to share on the topic, in a respectful and honest way. Have a good one man, I’m looking forward to seeing the Toyota updates!!!
I totally understand man! Planning to have a smaller box in the future. Sundown is a great company if if you have the money nothing wrong with going for it. This is just a budget minded channel so I try to put value first without any biases. But value to me is not necessary value to someone else. I appreciate your comment and I’m excited to get to work on the Sequoia!
Parker Dacchille thanks for the reply man, I appreciate that!! I understand where you are coming from, and offer you my assistance in a future box design or build question or whatever you might want to bounce off someone to get a different perspective. I’m just starting to put my content up regularly and have a series I’m dropping starting tomorrow and every Friday that if you get a chance to check out I’d appreciate it man! Thanks again!
I have 2 sundown 10 subs, shallow mounts. In my truck. Inverted. & in a custom box. They bang good, with just my factory speakers and radio. Lol. Pushed by an American bass amp.
I totally agree, Sundown is really good quality, especially when you start getting into their competition stuff. it's just way overpriced. there's other companies out there that you can get the bang for the buck..
I just bought this 15" sub for my crew cab Ram. I am putting in in a closed 2.5 cuft box. I figured this would be great for a small space. I will upgrade when I get a big body wip.
I have a single SA15. Got it for 120 bucks and I gotta tell yah.. Sundowns are badass products. Almost burnt it, saw a bit of smoke came out but she's fine. Coil still intact and shiny and still reading the same resistance.
I need help. I am in the last stages of buying everything I need for my car system. I have a 2014 Mazda 3 hatchback. For my sub amp I just picked up a Rockford Fosgate T-1500bdcp. I have NO IDEA what to get sub-wise. I have no idea if I should go with dual 10's, dual 12's... one 12 with higher power handling, one 15... NO IDEA. Obviously the enclosure would need to be able to fit in my hatch but fuck I am clueless as to what to get.
Nice video. As for price yeah a bit expensive but as you said these will last longer, than anything even above rated power they've been R&D that much, people throw tons of power on it and it takes it like a champ. And a quality 2.5" coil is always better than a crappy 3" coil. Yeah the basket is not tall like others because this is like a decade old sub and only minor revisions were made till the SA v2 in which they brought the taller U series frame.
Dude... I'm thinking about buying this same sub 750w. Please tell me what's the best wattage amp to put on this beauty without having to upgrade alt. I have a yellow top under the hood and im going to get a cap
Thanks for sharing the truth Parker, and not hyping sundown like everyone else. Lots of other companies make quality subwoofers, and a lot of them cost less money. Looking forward to the next review. I bet the Skar does just as well, or better, and costs $70 less.
A great head to head compare. I've had a single ddx in side port probass box and way under power on a Rockford 300.2 do to the size size of the box. All ik is I out did a buddy of mine that had two mxt 12s and a boss 1500 with a cap. Same size cars to lol. Oh yeah I had a Chinese Amazon deak and his was the Pioneer. The user matters.
Would help if each sub is in a box that is the right spec. Throwing any sub in any box isn’t apples to apples! U said it sounded the really good, that’s speaks a lot to its performance considering the box is huge for it. Is Accurate bass reproduction the goal or just the highest dB at a random frequency?
I had a feeling some budget subs would compete quite well with Sundown subs so man do some more budget subs until you saved up for another higher end sub maybe a DC audio LV 6 12 inch next or Crossfire 12?
Skar DDX is 95% the same thing and only 160. Another similar option is the American Bass XR. They go for $180. I just ordered one and will be testing it out soon
I run 1 sa12 rev 3 on a taramps smart 3k. My windshield is shattered from it and my wiper hops completely off the car. Get a better box then what u have there and u wont say its not worth it. Its the build. Ive seen 50$ subwoofers get loud in the right box.
Right on! I assume your going to build a box or two to spec for the next vid. Don’t sell a single sub you buy and at the rate your going you’ll have a awesome collection. I got an older infinity reference in a 1.2 sealed for mid bass with a 430 watt at 4 ohm class D amp. I’m lookn at a 12 that can use the 1.2 box and then swap for a 6-800 watt amp. Leaning towards American bass AP subs are killer but a BD1 isn’t strong enough and the BD2’s are to tall for the space I got the box located. My custom pair of Orion 15 hcca’s take care of 18-29 hz. Lookn forward to the next vid!!
Idk what your tuned to but you should try these songs if your box is close to 32-35 (maxo kream - still) (Bones-holysmokes) (Blake-no service) Hope they sound good, would like to hear it on one of your many subs in a vid, keep up the content
It is worth the money especially if it's at $300 there's a partner of mine that has 8 in his 01 yukon and they sound amazing.. plus he won competitions with these same speakers so they are great speakers. 👍🏾
what would be better Sundown Audio - Dual SA Classic Series 12 inch Ported Subwoofer Bass Package 2000W OR Dual 12" 5,000 Watt EVL Series Loaded Vented Subwoofer Enclosure
Anyone got any good recommendations for breaking subs in? I know it needs to be done with care and patience. But im looking for the fastest and safest way to break in without blowing the coils or spiders. Thank you in advance for any responses!
Good boy Parker love your opinion on this one 👏👏👏 without to see a comparison video with a skar DDX with this sub I bet they're identical besides the names.... Good job kid proud of you 👌👌 oops got to stop commenting before the end of the VIDEO 😂😂😂😁😁
I haven't tried it yet, I got one used for $60, I think there more expensive, so I know I got a good deal :). Should I use 1 or go for 2 - 3 . I have been bitten, suggestions? Thanks ! Jeff
I second that thought. American Bass XFL 15s for the win. Even the Elite series for the win! Feel the pressure in your throat in my Altima with 1 XFL 15 in a 2/1 4th order, 3.5 ported 1.75 sealed, with a CAB 2000.1 on it. 14.5 v.
It a really good sub. Take 500 rms all day. Ppl sleep on that sub bad but I never had any issuse with it and it sounds really good and hit hard for the price
PSI is the best SPL sub on the market. People that have Sound qubed, Massive and others. They with actually buy PSI soft parts for them. But the price cause people to settle with other brands like Skar and DS18. Cheap chinese product that still get the job done for acouple years.
I have tried the Sundown Subs they sound really amazing when you have two of them it took me five years to finally try sundown sa Subs when I did I was pretty impressed I honestly have always went back to JL Audio got rid of the two Sundown Subs. Now I'm trying out some Phoenix Gold ti3 Elite 12 easily powering those with 2 Rd 1500 .1 JL Audio amps.
The SA-15 is hard to find over here in Europe and about 380 euro new. I got mine used and probably abused, since it was reconed for around 100. Both coils were ok, when buying it, today one has weird numbers. It's in a slightly bigger than recommended box, getting up to 900 watts from a pg ti1300 with stock electrics and poor wiring. SQ and SPL wise it's a great subwoofer. Playing any kind of music with authority and seeing what it costs brand new in the US no wonder you guys hyped it.
@@bassbrother101 Get ones from Directronix. They are $147. They basically build them when you order but the baskets/motors are refurbished/used. Still basically a new sub for less than $150. Or check out the American Bass XFL 12. The XFL needs more airspace though, cant put 2 of them in 4 cubes like the SA's.

I'm with you on the overpriced value. I know Sundown is great quality, but so are others. You are buying the name as well as the sub. I'm still waiting on the Savard Hi Q 12.😊
You guys don't realize why they are so pricey. Jacob explained why his stuff is high he puts a lot of time to R&D way more than any other company. Me personally none of his stuff is high unlike Rockford there bdcp amps are pricey 1400 dollars for 2500 yeah not worth it you can get just as good for 700-1000 dollars
@@BenaresDarkness I agree. His explanation seemed logical and without much of a salesman to it. I do think that now with the v2 being 300, there is a large gap price wise between the E series and SA
@@BenaresDarkness the RF power 2500 does about 3400 I believe. Steve maede tested it.l, rockforf also sounds different than other subs. Just because an amp pushes more power it doesn't mean it sounds better. Jls slash 1200 doea 1500rms for 1400, thats pricey.
Sundown is hands down best bang for buck. I can’t afford to buy cheap stuff and to these are already inexpensive so it’s a win win. They are under rated fo sho
cant wait for another skar review! there stuff is very affordable and the subs sound amazing, ive heard the sdr,ddx,and evl all 12s! dad has the ddx i have evl, gave my uncle my sdr since i wast using it at all
I prefer Kicker L7S over any Sundown sub I've heard at same $200 price point. You all hate on Kicker for being great. You can't beat their combination of bass and SQ! (I'm only referring to L7S btw because that's the only Kicker I've owned and keep going back to)
Parker Dacchille owww that's nice!...you have a great amp 1 ohm stable..because mine is 2 ohms stable..by the way i have 1 dual 2 ohms amp and i just want to wired it by using a single set of terminals to make it 2 ohms final impedance is it posible i will not do a parallel or series to a sub...can you give me some advice thanks in advance!
It didn't sound like you were to impressed with this sub ecspecially the price point.I with you that American Bass sub is hard to beat Sundown is OVERPRICED.LET'S SEE THAT SAVARD HI-Q 12. And I believe that Skar is going to outperform that OVERPRICED Sundown.Another great video from my guy Parker👍🏾🔊🔊🔊
I run both sundown sa12's and a skar audio RP1500.1 in a fourth order bandpass blowthru in my truck and love it. Alot of people try and knock one or the other company but in my humble opinion both are good quality brands if used properly and set up right.
Overpriced depends on what you are after Had many subs - sundown is definitely worth the money Have a x8v2 in my work truck and a x fifteen going in my other h
@@ParkerTheBasshead Ive seen this sub take over 9k on sundowns unofficial youtube channel, you should check out their power soak tests on their stuff. Good video as usual tho bro.
@@ParkerTheBasshead I agree. Did you see that reply video? A guy made a 2min video saying Skar wasa better value. Then Sundown made a 2hr reply! It really didn't look good for them.
@@NoMoreBsPlease given the background and history between Sundown and Skar, I’d say the response was warranted, and I go with Sundown every time myself, on a matter of principle, and due to that history.
I’m broke I can’t buy that sub lol, I was planning on getting the skar sub u review awhile ago but I’m getting one American bass 12inch 😀 thx for the hard work man👍🤘
So basically this is not a justifiable review since the sub was placed in an enclosure not designed for it. And I’m going to guess that’s how all your reviews are going to be if you keep using the same enclosure
Happy to be here waiting for this for a good while
i requested this but enjoy all Parkers reviews

Can you also try to get hold of the pioneer 1000rms black sub, 3000spl or the 3500w champion series pro sub, would love to see how it compares
Very impressed with the DDX line up, just built a box for 2 DDX 10s and it sounds amazing on break in power.

What, Skar Audio? Their stuff doesnt compare in quality
Buy used or reconed sundown, you can save alot of money
@@owentroyer
Or from Directronix aswell
200$ for this sub not bad...750rms not bad at all.... Kicker l7s 750rms is over 300$
I just bought this 15" sub for my crew cab Ram. I am putting in in a closed 2.5 cuft box. I figured this would be great for a small space. I will upgrade when I get a big body wip.
Thank you for giving a honest opinion. So many people buy name. And don't realize how much they are paying for the name.
You are welcome!
I have a single SA15. Got it for 120 bucks and I gotta tell yah.. Sundowns are badass products. Almost burnt it, saw a bit of smoke came out but she's fine. Coil still intact and shiny and still reading the same resistance.

Sundown is built a little better but for the money definitely AudioPipe
Tape some open cell foam to your camera microphone. It will shield from wind noise without muffling regular audio. Nice work!
They work great for under seat applications. When mounting depth is low but want full size sub.

@@evanfield580 yup
so should i go with 2 of these (15’) or one xv2 15

How do you think the Audiopipe bdc4 compare to the sundown SA? In price value, and performance, what do you think?
The SA is built with better quality but the BDC4 has more xmax, got lower, and had a better voice coil.

How does this hold up against the Soundqubed hdx3?
Personally I liked the HDX3 better
Only thing I saw was Sundown Audio and clicked on.
❤️❤️
Sundown Audio ftw 🤙
Can u do a jensen sub r a punch sub next plz
Sundown is hands down best bang for buck. I can’t afford to buy cheap stuff and to these are already inexpensive so it’s a win win. They are under rated fo sho
Mine will be here tomorrow YES SIRR
How do u like them?
@@itzsace2733 they beat hard make sure you have the right size box.
Can you do a massive audio 12in sub?
Had a Hippo XL and blew in breakin before I could even make a video of it.
cant wait for another skar review! there stuff is very affordable and the subs sound amazing, ive heard the sdr,ddx,and evl all 12s! dad has the ddx i have evl, gave my uncle my sdr since i wast using it at all
It will be out as soon as I can finish filming and edit it!
@@ParkerTheBasshead sounds good can't wait!
Just got my 2 skar ma8's and box today, cant wait to put em in !
I prefer Kicker L7S over any Sundown sub I've heard at same $200 price point. You all hate on Kicker for being great. You can't beat their combination of bass and SQ! (I'm only referring to L7S btw because that's the only Kicker I've owned and keep going back to)
We all been waiting on this,oooohhhh look at that flex....🧐
She did good and got down!
whoop there it is lol old school playlist
Oldie Goldie for sure
I'm conflicted on purchasing these or purchasing the SA-12 v2.....these are rated @ 750RMS, while the v2's are rated @ 1000RMS...
how do you wired this sub? is it 1 ohms or 4 ohms? thanks
Had it wired to 1 ohm
Parker Dacchille owww that's nice!...you have a great amp 1 ohm stable..because mine is 2 ohms stable..by the way i have 1 dual 2 ohms amp and i just want to wired it by using a single set of terminals to make it 2 ohms final impedance is it posible i will not do a parallel or series to a sub...can you give me some advice thanks in advance!
Dc level 1 is cheap. Try one. For the price the level 1's are amazing. Love the channel love what your doing. Keep on keepin on
I have been thinking about picking one up!
I've got 6 DC level 1 10"s. Love em. Handle way more power than rated
It didn't sound like you were to impressed with this sub ecspecially the price point.I with you that American Bass sub is hard to beat Sundown is OVERPRICED.LET'S SEE THAT SAVARD HI-Q 12. And I believe that Skar is going to outperform that OVERPRICED Sundown.Another great video from my guy Parker👍🏾🔊🔊🔊
The box was too big. As he said. It would perform much better in the right box.
Looks like old Rockford fosgate basket
all the sub you be gettin where you keep them you change out a lot do you sale them after you do a utube vid
I keep a few for comparison but sell most of them
I run both sundown sa12's and a skar audio RP1500.1 in a fourth order bandpass blowthru in my truck and love it. Alot of people try and knock one or the other company but in my humble opinion both are good quality brands if used properly and set up right.
Agreed
What's the specs on that box?
2.7 ft3 tuned to 32 hz
Sundown has a 2year warranty on it and a five-year discounted replacement on their subs and speakers more on their website for info
I've got two Zv5's, but I got them both for 600$ even. For that price they're amazing subs but for 1500$ new, they are way overpriced.
Yeah man 600 is a deal!!
Thats a steal !
Overpriced depends on what you are after
Had many subs - sundown is definitely worth the money
Have a x8v2 in my work truck and a x fifteen going in my other h
Well, at least you tried one.
Probably won’t be the last. Eventually want to try an X12. Jut gotta work my way up there lol
Have you tried any Orion?
No not yet. But hopefully one day
@@ParkerTheBasshead I'm subscribing bro
Joey Rios I appreciate you !!
Sundown is great just really overpriced on all there equipment. Americanbass is the way to go man
My thoughts exactly
@@ParkerTheBasshead Thanks for the honesty again.
@@ParkerTheBasshead Ive seen this sub take over 9k on sundowns unofficial youtube channel, you should check out their power soak tests on their stuff. Good video as usual tho bro.
@@analogaudiorules1724
That was a burp test. These can still handle double their wattage on music though but shouldnt be given more
It’s meant for serious car audio not your avg joe that thinks it’s to much...
Could I put these boys on a rp skar 2000?
Yessir!
Fi has a sub think it is the X series sub it holds a 1000 rms and has a 27 mm xmax and it is around $200.
I’ll look into it! Been wanting to try an Fi sub for a while
Parker Dacchille please do the X series. It would get views as their are no other videos on youtube of it
Review kicker 12 inch crv comp
Its the 750 rms round sub.. With blue stitching. Ribbed souround
Review a team series!
I've got one you could review!
Everyone wants to hear that suicide boys track,but fail to realize its only about 1:30 of play time
Could put 2 of my sa12s in that big ass box.
Get ready for the 3hrs reply podcast from Sundown.
Hahaha! I’m not even hating on them. Just stating the facts.
@@ParkerTheBasshead I agree. Did you see that reply video? A guy made a 2min video saying Skar wasa better value. Then Sundown made a 2hr reply! It really didn't look good for them.
@@NoMoreBsPlease given the background and history between Sundown and Skar, I’d say the response was warranted, and I go with Sundown every time myself, on a matter of principle, and due to that history.
Need to do more amps....
@BigDWiz got you covered there
I’m broke I can’t buy that sub lol, I was planning on getting the skar sub u review awhile ago but I’m getting one American bass 12inch 😀 thx for the hard work man👍🤘
yeah we need a budget Sub CZcamsr like parker man cause i feel people sleep on some budget brands nowadays.
takumi kuruzagi its a 200$ sub bro
By far the best bang for your buck
EMF audio has lay buy option. It's how I'm getting my Banhammer 15's when they get built. Sean is an awesome guy
U also shouldn't have cut the tinsel leads and just bent the little lug upwards leaving slack
So basically this is not a justifiable review since the sub was placed in an enclosure not designed for it. And I’m going to guess that’s how all your reviews are going to be if you keep using the same enclosure
I feel like the JL W6 would sound better. Jamming either way homie great vids!!
Nooo. I have 2 w6 and my 2 sa 12 v3 and v2 I had before the v3 definitely 100% sound better.
The spider pack and coil affects x max way more than the basket why do u keep saying this?
