    I agree with your review. For some of us bass heads, more bang for our bucks is the only option, with having a family to support but still enjoy and be into the bass hobbies. Great reviews, bro!

If you didn't know that they were 8's and then found out that they were after hearing them. You'd be impressed. I have a 2015 beetle that I'm fixing to do. All the speakers are Skar. I don't remember the type. But there not Skars basic speakers. The 4 6.5's will be ran on a Kenwood 4ch amp and the 10" Skar sub in there box will be on a Rockford 1ch mono amp. With a Kenwood head unit. I went with Skar speakers and sub from hearing his. I can't wait to get it in. Beetles have great shape for good acoustics on the inside.

  • @TurboJohn74
    @TurboJohn74 Před 4 lety +12

    As much as we enjoy the music demo, it doesn't replace being there. If you had the chance for another enclosure, it would be great to have them each tone swept and metered. It's the subtle differences musically, that can sway to one or the other. For a made-up example, the Skar could have higher overall output across the board, but then the Sundown could have a lower freq roll off. Some want high output, some will take slightly lower output for a wider freq range and accuracy. These days with the technology being way beyond 1990s tech, you CAN have SQ with a great spl output. Keep up the great work, would love to see more

      true that.. i have a couple vvx 8 v3s and a couple sa 8 v3s, and the skar has a wider range, and sundown gets louder with more roll off on the low... i prefer the range over the volume.. its so close in the volume, that it doesnt really matter... the sundown definetly seems more durable in the coils tho.... can take more power than skar.. my personal review pretty much yielded same results.. and the same thing happened in 4 different enclosures.... i prefer the skar sound myself.. which suits me, as i save quite a bit of money lol...

    Like your videos bro BUT you really can’t compare two different speakers in the same enclosure and get a real feel for the products because one will always out perform the other because of the Ts parameters of the driver . It’s nice you do these for the new guys and I’m sure it does help a lot but when you get down to the science of things it really starts to make sense why one “plays lower and one sounds louder” and that’s due to many variables.. power ,tuning ,airspace, cabin, frequency ect... also when companies list specs such as “xmax “ the Bl curve is not always tested the same as other companies do so numbers are almost incomparable to each other in that sense .. just giving you some insight and understanding from a guy who knows a thing or two cuz I’ve seen a thing or two 😁

      But in this instance doesnt it prove that Skar are infact better in regards to these particular subs. Seeing how he states that the Skar has a 1k watt rating and although looking similar by eye the Skar does have a much larger motor, almost 5lbs. He also states he thinks the Skar hit lows better even though the Sundown has a deeper surround. And then on top of that they are on the same amp but the Skar version is a D4 vc @2ohm but the Sundown is pulling more power due it being the D2 @1ohm which is why he said the SA is louder. If the Skar was a D2 it could well be lower and louder than the SA but for a cheaper price.

      Like Parker said, if you can afford Sundown, rock em'! But if you just want a good daily flex at a budget level, Skar has proven themselves to a large crowd.

      @@MadDragon75 right right. Cheers for the info. I have heard that Sundown are underrated on a great deal of their products.

I have just got my first single Skar 12 EVL and looking forward to using it. I had an old Audiobahn alum 12 1k running at 3 ohm 5-600w and it was almost enough for me, so the EVL running at 1 ohm should be a nice upgrade running at around 1,100w. I woulda loved to get the new SA v2 but it was just out of reach at the new price point. But I know Sundown come very highly recommended. 👌🏽

      Never had an issue with the customer service alway get a response with in 25 hours. I had to make 1 claim in 3yrs. I had 2 sets of their spx65c (4 spx65 , 4 spx_t, and 4 passive crossover on a SK125.4 wired down to 2ohm which is right at 200 wats per channel.. after beating on them for over a year 1 6.5 had a vc seperate. Contacted them because they have a 2yr warranty. Got a rma # with in 2 hrs to ship it back. Once they received it they inspected it and contacted me with in 24hr of getting delivered let me know the result and sent me a replacement. And to add a Lil more to this. If the do determine the damage is from abuse they will still offer you the ability to buy a replacement at a discounted price.
