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!
Thanks man!!
Yes that’s what I’m facing right now. A family to support but still want da bass.
I have a nice size family I have to support also but I was able to get an EMF Audio 15 for $152 off of the site. I have a Taramps Smart 3 on it and it’s kind of amazing!!! Did not break the bank at all.
Mark Guerrero well said!
Dont know if anyone gives a damn but if you're bored like me during the covid times you can stream pretty much all of the latest movies and series on instaflixxer. Been watching with my brother for the last weeks =)
Love your sub comparison vids and all the extra effort you put into them! This channel is one of a kind, keep em coming!!
I love my SA’s and I’ll keep running them til/if I decide to upgrade. if I couldn’t have swung the price on them I wouldn’t hesitate to run skar. Different strokes for different folks. Get the best you can afford or justify spending.
"If money was no object" thats how the phrase goes.
I’m running a single Skar Audio DDX-10 D4 in a 1.25 cubic inch aero-ported box from High Output Enclosures....goes low and hits hard 🔊
I would love to buy expensive subs and amps but if I don’t have the money to spare, I go with whatever I can afford as long as it’s good and it gives me good bass! Bass ftw!
With you 👍🏼
I enjoy all car audio from the low to the high
takumi kuruzagi how do you feel bout L7’s? Compare them to cadence wild beasts
Earl Graves l7’s are cool but I never had or bought candence audio, I did buy 1 American bass sub and dam I’m impressed it rattles my little crv lol
@@earlgraves5568 l7 subs suck cadence wins.
I’ve got a pair of those Sundowns in my truck on a 2200W amp, they take that power all day even in a slightly undersized ported box (to fit stealth under the back seat). They’re underrated on power and have sounded great for almost 3 years now.
Soundqubed q1 2200?
@@Luminous.Dynamics Yep, that's the one.
Another great review. Keep up with'em 👍
Great job 👍. I just found your channel and have been binge watching. I'm a sub now💯 my brother has two of Skars 8's in his truck underneath the rear seat. 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.
Good video was very informative I went with the skar svr 12 d2 I'm very happy with them think you are doing a great job with the videos .bass on dude
Thanks man! I really like the SVR. Great sub for the price
These subs remind me of old school earthquake subs , same style basket similar motor size and stuff . Awesome subs .
I rock with the videos heavy been supporting since you first started doing audio videos! As a fan I would love to see you bump some 15s 🔥🔥🔥
I've been hoping the same thing since he built that box. If you are only running a single sub, and you want spl, I think a single 15 does the job much better. He can almost run a 15 in that box. I believe it's 3 cubes. You can do 3.5 cubes for most 15's.
Sundown all day! Cant wait to pick out my x8 v.3's!
Parker great video man. Also thank you I was looking at a single 12 project in my Monte Carlo this video helped me make my choice. Keep up the good work I just subscribed!!
Glad to hear it helped man!! And thanks for the sub. More video coming soon
I put 1 of the DDX-12's in my Cobalt with the Skar RP-1000.1 Amp and it's phenomenal. I've had it for about a year now and it's still going strong and I beat the crap out of it. It actually got better the longer I've had it. I think it just needed broken in. It probably sounds different in a bigger vehicle like this one but, My car is small so it's perfect. My rear view mirror is basically useless lol.
Same, My DDX 12 D4 is in my 4 Door Civic EX 5 speed. Just the one on a Kicker CXA 1200.1 and My mirrors are useless Lol. I just got through the break in period and my car is holding in for dear life Lol. Now I gatta find those sound dampening things in hops to keep the rattling to a minimum Lmao
can we get a Resilient Sounds RS12" review or perhaps comparison with these two?
Very nice review. I can't wait to install my 2 15s skar ddx with the rp2k on chevy. Its gonna be a blowthru 4th order box. Should sound decent
How u like them? I have one DDX 15 now and love it
I love them both I've had both using my skar now in my car
Good review homie, I subscribed for an honest review.
I appreciate you man!! Will keep the honest vids coming
I subscribed for the same reason.
Great video!!!... But Maybe the Skar would sound better in it's own specific enclosure (size and tuning)?. Can't really compare them equally unless each one of them had a box of their own, because box dimensions and tuning isn't the same for every sub IMO
Both of these are companies I plan on shopping with very soon. Skar for one vehicle and sundown on the other. Gonna be fun.
sa v2 and an evl 12.
Take the time to design the enclosures to the actual specs of the woofers and not the generic ones manufacturers post for those who don't know how to figure out box volumes and tunings that actually match the drivers.
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...
I can hear more bass notes on the sundown. ddx sounds like its just good at one bass note. and the sundown sounds louder even though ddx has higher sensitivity.
I love the DDX. I'm getting a pair of Skar EVL 12's and a Skar RP 3500. 1D to push them. Already bought a Kenwood Cd blue tooth player with remote. So I get to install all of that in one day. Lol maybe not in just one day. Have a great one Parker. 😎😊
Thank you I enjoyed your video. That was an excellent presentation.
I like the way skar subs looks. More aggressive imo. I just replaced my alpine type r 12 . Skar hits harder then the alpine.
Looking foward to the xr review.
Good vid.
I know the pole piece is different towards the dustcap. dished (skar) vs (sa) extended to a point. Also the different surround styles may make a slight difference. maybe one is more musical vs one is more spl (peaky.) Not 100% sure though
I like the ddx series. They play a really deep note in my civic. Running 2 12s on a taramp 3k hd. Plus soundstream epicenter and pioneer deh4220bt radio and they dig deep. My voltage only drops from 14.3-13.8 after each bass note and I hit a clean 144 db with those subs
Really!?? Awesome
Ohhhh you running a 3000 watt amp tho haha i see
(1) DDX DVC2 running on a D4S JP8 and I’ve had 10” SDR,SVR,EVL, & DDX does best for my needs by far running at 1 ohm with a 1k wattage limit!#Skar#DDX❤
Yeah I got the 10" 2ohm with a 2400w ZEUS amp. Its mounted in a regular black carpet SKAR 1.25 CF 39mhz ported box and it hits hard AF! I really do think it sounds better with age
Had the SA’s, after a coil shifted I went with the DDX’s and I personally think the DDX’s have a over all better response and performance across the board. The only thing I have to wait and see is if the DDX’s can last 4 years before something goes wrong.
Did a 147.8 at 43hz with the SA’s.
What did you meter with the Skar DDX?
Jacob Fuller helped with the design of the ddx that's why it's so similar to the SA v1's.
Was it the same box and amp and car?? When u compared
Wait Jacob, the sundown ceo, helped design the ddx?
@@DirtySouthFlorida3 yes. Everything was the same.
I have to sa 12 in my 03 mustang and I had to alter my trunk to be able to get a big enough box in there. I also had to get a 220 amp alternator, 1xs D34 ( under the hood ) , 2 xs 900 and 1 xs 750 ( in the car ) a Skar RP 2000, Kicker zx 750 , 2 Rockford fosgate 5x8 ( in the front doors), 2 kicker titanium tweeters ( on the front doors ), 2 Rockford fosgate 6x8 ( in the rear deck) Skar SKv2 1,500, 2 Skar 12 sdr ( 1 down from the DDX) in a B-box, 2 amp fans, 2 runs of 0ga. Ofc, 2 runs of 4 ga. 1 ofc 1 cca, 1 run of 2/0 ofc, a ton of 200 amp and 150 amp fuse block and 4 100 amp glass fuses. I've cracked my windshield 2 time and blown out the rear window seal 1 time! My SA 12's are still going strong three years and my Skar SDR 12's I've blown at least 3 times ( again not the DDX ) my Skar RP 2000 is 3 year Strong on it too that's the one on the SA 12's! The Skar SKV 1,500 with the clipping indicator light on bass knob( 2 years strong) I switch to run the Skar SDR 12's. I would have all Sundown audio speakers and amps if I had the money!!!!!!!
I've had both but something about the sundown is just makes me feel better but I like skar . And yes those SA hit very hard
Sundown subs no matter which model n size always will put a smile on ppls faces. They are absolutely amazing subs. And skar as well what i love about skar audio is they make the same subs almost as sundown same looks same power ect like 99.9% identical and slash the price in half just about.. So they try to help ppl get stupid loud systems at the fraction of the cost as orion hccas sundowns ect ect.. But still sundown is like bass royalty now days lol
@@jessicaking2646 yea though most of sundowns products are way underrated. my 2 e-12s are taking power from a dc audio 2.0k which is double rated. and they have been tsking that for almost a year. definitely cant say the same for a skar sub.
What people fail to realize is that Jacob at sundown puts a lot of thought,r&d,engineering into his products,and goes out of his way to please the market.Skar just pumps out subs.Basically companies like Sundown do the hard work,then Skar looks at what they did,makes a low quality copy and puts it out at a lower price.Essentially the people buying Sundown are paying for Sundown and Skar's product development,and Skar buyers are just buying a cheap sub.
has skar fixed the cone problems yet ? after awhile the cones get holes in them from slapping the terminal/leads on 10 and 12'' . many have had this issue .
I'm with ya 100% and cant wait to see the xr 12:)
Quinton Litton I run 2 xr 12’s myself on an rp 1500. I can vouch in saying they are good subs especially for the price!
AB has yet too disappoint.. 4 10" xrs. 1ohm 2k watts. Each. 2 Massive 5k amps. Beyond impressed.
@@ruthlesslegion1016 I bet man I ran a crescendo bc 4500 on two xfl 10s and it was nasty. Then upgraded to 2 tnt 15s the new ones on a synergy 2k amp and it did a 153.2db at 38hz :) my next setup I'm working on is 2 hd 15s the carbon fiber models
Yeah, I have 2 xr12's on a ppi ice7000 at .5ohm and its nasty. It's actually to much for daily, I have to turn it down. 5.6 cubes slot tuned at 34 with a 17 to 1 port to cube in an hhr ss. Haven't metered it but.... nasty.
I have a 15” skar sub and I’m pleased with it and plus I’m on a budget just like a lot of other people, great job man 👍
James Marler which one did you get
Jerl Adams Well I think it was the D4.
I currently have the DDX-12. It performs more than well for what I need. Since I now have a bigger vehicle, I might consider getting a 2and one. But I'll try the single first.
What did u end up going with? I had the ddx 12 as well and wanted to get something bigger so I went with the 15 SDR but now I want to upgrade that( I only got the SDR 15 in the enclosure bc it was used from Skar for $160) so I'm thinking of another ddx but in a 15 or I'm thinking sundown just to see what all the hype is about
@@trickedoutequinox3265 Just stick with the DDX line seriously its not going to get much better if you're just cruising. No need to spend more than warranted for non-competition listening.
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 😁
Word ‼️
Good job man!!!! There both broken in I take it. Still a hard decision
Sundown better
Skar is kick asss but I’ve heard those sundowns and they can literally be heart stopping lol but I’ve heard skars do the same thing it’s definitely a hard one! Thanks bud for the vid
Good video 2 12s of audiopipes are good like u say Rockville has a new 12 inch super that looks like it'd be great and they don't cost too much w12k9d2 Rockville 3 inch vc and 1000 cea rated watts around 114 dollars
Would be cool to see you do a comparison stress test on both to see which one plays longer without over heating? Another factor of best bang for your buck is how long the bang can last. I have been researching and comparing these 2 subs past month deciding which one to buy. I've seen the Sundown go through brutal stress testing but not much on the DDX.
Which one did you buy and are you happy with your purchase or did you wish you got the other? Thanks I'm in the same boat trying to figure out which one I should buy
@@joseph2323 Did u buy one? I have a DDX 12 and I love it but now I want something more so I went with a 15.
Just picked up the ddx 12 myself. Waiting for it to come in so I can start on a fiberglass enclosure. Going sealed though. Never cared for the ported sound. Had a JL 12w7 in a sealed box a long time ago and have been chasing that sound ever since it got jacked out of my car. Never paying that price for a sub again lol
i have a w7, to me the sundown x rev1 is the most similar in sound
I lost my dust cap and I was wondering does that matter? It also doesnt seem to flex as much as yours and I run the 15
I'm a fan of both.
Having said that, Skar has always been like a "Baby Sundown" and I agree with the price. As far as SPL competition.. I would have to go with the Sundown.
Awesome video as always Parker!
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.
@@Pkdimmock it's all about the X max baby.
I'm all about flex, move that air..
Bigger motor is is a bonus for Cooling but I'd rather have the travel if I'm going to participate in an SPL competition.
@@MadDragon75 does that also apply to everyday bass too? Although in this test the db was higher on the SA, Jacob said the EVL hit lower. So if the EVL had more power too @1ohm would that not give it the edge? At least in this comparison?
@@Pkdimmock I would have to say it depends on the application.
All day normal pounding in the daily driver.. I'd rock the Skar.
If you watched Sundown Audio Unofficial, you may notice that Derek is only using 4 subwoofers and burping at 1 frequency the system is tuned to via the tuning wall.
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.
That's why I am on the fence. Both have distinctive qualities.
(BTW, Sundown underrates their products. That sub will take 1000 watts too. 😉👍
@@MadDragon75 right right. Cheers for the info. I have heard that Sundown are underrated on a great deal of their products. Also that the only reason Skar is cheaper is due to the fact they cut out the dealers and sell direct which has caused some mixed opinions. 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. 👌🏽
Parker here's some Info on the skar ddx sub the guy I forgot his name that left sundown and works for skar created the skar ddx sub thats why this skar sub looks so different from any other skar sub and looks like a sundown sub.
I like RE AUDIO as well. Although i have skar in my truck now.
Ive had the SA. Get the American Bass XFL, no question about it as that was my next sub and it was so much better imo.
I clipped my sundown sa12s rev3 for a year ons taramps smart3. One’s still going built like a tank. Gettting a recone kit for it. Should be back up in no time. SUNDOWN FOR THE WIN
Im ready for the V2s
From what I heard and read about skar company not making good on their products when it breaks, I'll go with Sundown. Customer service and standing by your product means the world to me
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.
I think the long term comparison would be which sub will last longer / blow first. If Sundown last longer then spending the extra money would be worth it.
He already blew the sundown sa he reconed it that was a reconed sundown sub.
What's you guys thoughts on the massive audio gtx? They do about 700 rms, I'm stuck between these and 1 sundown sa 15 which eventually I will get another one in the coming months but I can get the gtxs for $79 a piece and they seem to have OK views.
Hey Parker! love your videos buddy. I'm a basshead from OR, Its always awesome to see someone reviewing affordable gear. Would love to see some not so main stream brands in the mix. Audio Legion S2512, OG Audio Z12. And a few others. So many new competitors in the game these days its always cool to see what's out there, best bang for your buck like always! Keep up the good work bro!!! #BASSON
Great video like always bro
Thanks man!! Means a lot
Just got hip to ur videos. Ur a good, smart kid! And do ur best to do it right! Ima subscribe. Although, idc for single sub set-ups.
Thanks man! Check my latest video. Ditched the single sub for my new project
@@ParkerTheBasshead and I see you have lol. I think you should go for a big build. At least 4 12s or something. You're totally capable of it. And you already got the power for it. Make it happen, make your channel blow tf up. Get some big sponsorships. I know I'd watch it.
Definitely a sundown guy il pic them for sure!
I had some XFL 15s then I got sundown SA 12s and huge difference! I love my Sas! Amazing subs!
So you sayin the sundown is better 🤔
1tuffzx10 than my 15s? Most definitely! I can’t say if they are better than the Skars. All I know is that these sundowns can take a beating! Got them wired at half ohm on a 8k SounDigital! They go crazy!
Difference in what? 15s to 12s did you have the right box?
@@1tuffzx10 I've heard xfl 12's and SA's are better than xfl's.
@@amanbungay I mean are the SA 15's that much better than XFL & Skar 15's🤷🏾♀️.
Have you ever measured them on how tall they are I’m looking at getting some but want to make sure they fit in my box before I get them?
Which scar do you like better this or the svr or the evl? I'm trying to decide which 2 to run
Ive had skars before but I have to say sundowns louder and better worth the few extra bucks
Parker what u think is better 4 10” ddx or 2 12” ddx ?? Please give me ur opinion
I had both last year....your box not right for that ddx...they get loud in the upper 30s...38hz
I got 2 DDX 15"s on a rp.1500 till I can get a 3000 watt rms amp. i a large slot port encloser tuned at 36-40 hertz 7.5 cubic foot minus sub size and interior bracing and they are clean clear and loudddd
Needed to spl test both and see how they match up
Another A-1 video from my guy Parker Well said they both sounded great but if your bassiN on a budget the Skar gets my vote don't get me WRONG Sundown makes a great product I just think u get more bang for your $ with the Skar.I hope to see the Savard Hi-Q 12 reviewed.Keep the great content coming👍🏾 🔊🔊🔊-🔊🔊🔊
Thanks man! Will keep the videos coming
I have two 12in essays in my Mustang I love them. I'm curious if you had both hooked up and head left side during the song and then switch to the right side one speaker each if you would notice a deeper Bass I know to make your windshield wobble
Sundown definitely smash lows better.
sa's lol not a paper essay lol
@@user-mp7tt8ht6z I thought he had 2 12" homies in the back pushing on the window, lol the window, you want both of them on double the power you have to wobble your window..
Nice job my man u r getting better with every video what do u do with all the subs?
Thanks! I sell most of them locally.
I am saving up for a 370z, should i just do one skar 12 or two? Would two be too much? I want it to hit hard but not rattle my stuff broken.
I had both and the sundown sa hits way way harder
Yes it do
If you can get your hands on the Tropo XL I’d love to see a comparison... they cost $159
3 sundown 15’s in a sealed custom enclosure is what I’m seeing in my ride when all this virus crap is over with. Good review man. 😎
💪🏻💪🏻
They aren't really recommended for sealed enclosures.
Yeah jam is right. Not really rated for sealed. And unless you have a suv to take up the entire 3rd seat area or maybe more. the 3, 15s will sound like crap. My 2 sa12 call for 2.5cubic feet of internal box space
Hey Parker you need to do a CT sounds strato 12 in test
Parker i think i,m going to have to go with your review here ive never heard sundown but one time and it was just amazing but it was an spl set up i just recently bought a skar sdr 12 loades and it lasted like 7 days with the gain not even at half and it started to make mechanical noises so its going back im going to have to ask skar to give me an upgrade to this sub here in the video and ill have to pay for the difference, the sdr 12 couldn't hang and i have a soundstream ar1 2500 amp putting out barely 1500 watts peak at 1 ohm .
I just got to 15 skar in my crown vic and I didn't know nothing about the speakers because I all brought kickers. Now I like skar just a Lil better because of the price and they still hit harder then a kicker too me and that's just my opinion
What’s the sundown magnet diameter without the rubber ? I’m trying to find the biggest sub I can fit in my fox acoustics f150 ported box for 2 10s and the biggest is 6.25” in depth and 7” Magnet diameter I can fit
Parker where can I get an inexpensive spl meter to find out what dB my system is hitting
It would be a expensive video but I would love to see a sundown x 12 or 15 vs a skar zvx 12 or 15
I know I’m late but which skar sub is better the ddx or the evl???
Also I have the vxf 15" 1500rms 3000peak and I have the skar 2000 watt amp pushing a about 64 volts through this sub daily
10/10 for sure
Can you try either or both against the american bass I seen you with in a previous video? Just for comparison. From the video, it looked beefier that either of these and was only 109 if I member the video correctly.
I’m just wanting bass which one is best for me what’s the name of the songs at the end
Good video. I like looking at all the details you can't see from ordering online. Good side by side. I'm in the same boat bang for the buck is how I roll. I have 2 version 1 skar ivx 15's off a little mtx thunder 250.1d in a 02 suburban and it's just as loud as as my other friends 2 type r 15"s off a Alpine m1100. So skar would be the one for me thats $70 bucks can go an buy material for the right size box. But keep the videos coming enjoy them allot and all ways help me in Witch sub to buy next. Mahalo.
Appreciate you will definitely keep them coming
Great vid I watch your vids from time to time and gotta ask when u test all these subs are u keeping them or selling afterwards?
I sell most of them
@@ParkerTheBasshead ok so of any which would you prefer to keep I have the sundown sa love it might grab another one
What is the longevity of sundown over skar?
Hey parker what are the specs on your enclosure in this video? I'm building a custom box and I've always liked the look of this box.
Build your enclosure, to the specs your sub calls for.
do you guys with 1000+ watt systems... do you replace alternator? im new to car audio and i just got my system installed. i think i need a new alternator cuz lights super dimming when bass hits. i have 2000 toyota tacoma. please advise
awesome video, the skar wins as far as price. your getting the same performance for less. good video.
Thanks man!
What's your opinion on the Skar EVL series? Worth the money?
I'm subscribing cause of this vids, that was the best and skar hands down it hits way lower than the sa 👍👍💯💪💪
Glad to hear man! Trying to keep the videos coming
You got brain cells loose if you think skar hit's harder than sundown.
What would you think is better vfx or the evl . Also for a solid 2k sub amp ?
Vxf all day lol
Ive never had skar audio gear but my only experience with sundown subs was great. i had 2 sundown 12's 500 or 750 rms a piece, cant remember, in a ported box on a crossfire 2k amp and hit a 145.0 DB in a chrysler sebring. They just took the power and kept goin
Idk if ppl are still using RE subs but idk loving to know how the RE SXX compares to these two. Also I know it's not in the same price range but I wanna know how the new Adire Brahma MK2 sounds. I remember 9-10yrs ago ppl in forums were saying the original Brahma MK kills the JL W7 sql wise.
Whats the best ported box specs for two sa12 sundowns?
I have 6 ddx 10s in my Tahoe on 2 skar skv 3500.1 an my truck is a beast it's an all skar system been running it for about a year with no problems with skar you really do get the best bang for your buck I love the ddx series sounds great and hits hard as @#$%
Yea I think the wholesale Chinese subs like skar and American bass are actually made pretty dang good and definitely best bang for your buck. It's funny because some people are useing the same exact gear just with a different name slapped on it but payed 5 × the price. Lol! I would definitely go with skar because of price for performance
Wholesale Chinese subs are all that's offered here. Skar and SD come out of the same buildhouse...
Maken me want 2 get same setup . Got 4 vvx 8s on rp 2k atm
p nice I have 2 vvx 8son a skv2 1500.1 in my WIFE'S truck with 4 6x8 skars in doors an 2 1" tweeters in front doors an 2 4" super tweeters in back doors sounds awesome about to add 4 more vvx 8s to her truck
The thing with China is every thing comes from there there is high quality and junk skar is high quality the difference is sundown is assembled in America and skar is china all the way that's why they are cheaper they didn't pay for american assembly
Have one ddx 15 and will run a few 12s next .. they sound good musical
Does the box make a difference?
I agree...I'm thinking of buying the Skar rp 2000. I saw in one of your videos you were using one. Are they pretty reliable and match that RMS? Thanks
Yes they definitely put out rated rms
The sundown has a cost advantage regarding longevity. It's only $55 for a recone kit for the sa12. Skar does not sell recones for the ddx
GREAT INFO THANKS!!!!
Pretty sure you can recone the Skar with a Sundown cone
@@lawrencebloom7327 have you tried this? I couldn't find the specs on spider size.
@@lawrencebloom7327 now that's funny
Just ordered 2 of these sundowns matched my box better. Air space
Bro I’m breaking in my Skar DDX in a prefab on 700 watts and let’s say I am ready for this to be in the custom box I got for it tuned at 30hz it will be on a Skar RP1500.1D god I’m ready for this
@ParkerDacchille
I'm stuck between Skar audio loaded enclosure with 2 12 inch SDR and a Skar 1500.1. Or kicker comp R 12 inch loaded enclosure with a kicker amp or Skar amp? Which will have more lows and deep Bass? I love to feel the bass and vibrate the hell out of shit lol!
Kicker sucks
The skar 12 ddx 2ohm I bought only has single medium sized rounded. Why is that? Tinsel leads ?
