I have a single 10" Morel 600w sealed in my grand cherokee. It offers plenty of low end. It's hidden in a custom box where the factory sub goes. Amps hidden too. No loss of any usable space and it all looks factory. That's how you do a good, clean install.
It's always been how much can you fit in there and still be able to use it to shop, store things like a luggage or 2, and still sound decent. Today, it's a single 10 or 12 in a compact car
Generally a great video! Lots of good info. You guys should do a sequel, talking about the compromises that need to be accepted when considering a subwoofer purchase such as power considerations, efficiency, enclosure size, budget, and music preference. There's no mistaking the accuracy of a subwoofer in a sealed enclosure, but a properly designed ported enclosure can be so much more fun to listen to and not all subwoofers can work in both types of enclosures. I recently went on a "bass diet" and went sealed after being ported and the sonic excellence was incredible, especially at the extreme low end, where the ported box that I have would unload and output would be diminished. However, after about two weeks, my "bass diet" failed because I felt that I just wasn't having fun anymore. I ended up going back to the ported enclosure and have been happy ever since.
Not a bad video. Why do people say tens and eights are faster? That’s just not true, 30hz is 30hz regardless if it’s a 10 or a 21. Yes there is more cone area so it’s louder, but the amp is really the item that controls the sub.
Josh, great video! I have 1 jl audio CS112LG-TW3 pushing by audio control lc1.800 and I felt like it missing the deep bass I'm looking for. Should I get 1 more CS112LG-TW3 or should I replace it with 1 12w6v3-d4 with sealed box? Thank you! Thank you
I've been out of the car audio scene for 15 years. My systems used to cost more than my cars! I think the last thing I was rocking was a pair of 12" Infinity Kappa Perfects. I want to upgrade my OEM system, but I'm so lost on what subwoofer models are the best 'bang for buck' out there these days. Thanks for the (re-)primer on subs.
One 12 inch sealed Infinity Reference with an Alpine 300w RMS in my Outback with HK system 👌 I like to enjoy the music and get a nice clean bass note to it. Im not trying to be heard, I'm just trying to enjoy the music
Old skool rewind? My first "big" system was 3 mtx 10's in a sealed box with a 760-something watt Xplode amp (bridged 2 ch, wattage was peak). Was mis lead so much back in the early 2k's with "yeah those will work together. Then again never had internet, youtube, and video guides 20 years ago like we do today. P.s. my best system I guess would be the one that was stolen, kenwood 2 ch bridged running 400ish watts to a JL 12w3v3 (or was it a v2?).
Thank you dor another great video. I have a suggestion but, more of a request.. could you do a video on a little bit more high end , hi rez 6.5" 3-way systems . Like in the 800 - 1300$ range ?.. im putting together a system for an 08 mercedes sl 550 and i want to blow away the Bose that was in it.. Thank you for all the great informative videos !
I’ve been using an infinity kappa vq 12 inch sub for like 17 years. A friendly reminder that you may love your bass but your neighbors don’t. It’s meant to be played while driving. Not rattling your neighbors windows
Man im having trouble picking out a good subwoofer on a budget. My problem is I dont have any point of reference as to what a good subwoofer is and where its ok to nickel and dime.
@@CajunReaper95 less efficiently doesn't mean they can't play it and efficiency by what standard? Cone area to cone area the smaller subs will be under less stress and use a smaller box. How low a sub will play is based entirely on enclosure and cabin acoustics

apparently I will always listen to your videos for how you tell the best way to set up car audio

Less mass to move= better response times
Say you don’t really know audio with out saying it
Josh, great video!

What would you recommend for a set of 12s going in a old school 90s bandpass 45 angle box in a extended cab s10

Morel Ultimo if you're looking for sound quality. If you're just looking for spl anything around $150 will do
You still cant go wrong with n JL Audio. Im 49 and its what I have mostly used my whole life tried Rockford and DD Audio but prefer JL.

Can you make a video on the best compact subs for smaller cars at every budget range 300-1000
Mix and match sub to amps would be a nice video

Doesn't take much to blow away Bose lol

Theres a 12 inch sub amp combo by Rockville for 270. I cant tell if thats a good deal or just cheap crap.
I feel same way

Pretty sure size is not the driving factor in the subwoofers capabilities 🤦🏽♂️
Every wonder if people spell check their CZcams titles?
God so much mid information. Smaller subs are not punchy or in able to produce lows it's all in the enclosure
It’s actually not misinformation while smaller subs an play low they do it less efficiently compared too 10’s 12’s and 15’s.
@@CajunReaper95 less efficiently doesn't mean they can't play it and efficiency by what standard? Cone area to cone area the smaller subs will be under less stress and use a smaller box.
How low a sub will play is based entirely on enclosure and cabin acoustics
Short on space in my off-road vehicle. Is the kicker bass tube sound good. I like the idea of being able to remove fast if I need cargo space.
It’s decent for something small
