Very cool for you to checkout the video and leave a comment. Thanks for sending it out for testing and congratulations on exceeding 5 minutes in that free air test!!! I wish you nothing but success with your business.
@gunjunky187 I've been waiting; we were just as nervous as you lol. Glad to see our time and development pay off. We'll definitely get you a new DKI when the time comes
Thank you for bringing back dark audio I was so sad to see you go..... I hope some new nko type subs are in the future I need a pair for every other car I own
@parker the basshead bro you doing this in the cold 🥶?! Smh can even see every breath you take ! It shows how dedicated you are my boy , MUCH RESPECT !!!
You really should get a heater even a small one for when you’re making a video we need you around for more videos. Thanks for the dedication and bringing us new product. Glad to see these are back out.
He has a propane heater. I installed a natural gas heater in my shop but it's close to my house so I had supply already. I can light the pilot and it's warm as heck in 10 minutes.
Great sub! I did grab 3 of their fuse holders & immediately ordered a 4th after actually handling one & realizing how amazing the quality was.... feels like a solid block of metal when you pick it up
Yes !!!! Yessas!!! I had the nko's but for a hundred bucks per and fed with 2000 watts in a 1.2 ft3 chamber sealed, two twelves damaged the hinges and latch in my crown vics trunk . I am very excited they are back.
Dude this is awesome American bass just updated their xfl audiopipe came out with the new 5 stack and dark audio is back you should do a head to head with them like you did back in the day
Love my cam 12s I have a pair hooked up in my shop along with there av2.8k amp definitely shaking stuff off my wall. Great product from great pp. glade I was local and able to pick up same day of purchase
Brad is good people and a good friend also an glad he brought back DARK AUDIO 🤙🏼 we been seen so many different subs I'll leave another comment after I watch this parker stay up an stay bassin brother keep these vids coming 💪🏻
Man seem like the new budget sub take over ..man I give it props it's a beast 💪 OK darkai we see you in the house ..would love to get one to test I'm a kicker guy top top tier l7x guy but I'm looking to use a differnt budget company to do my 04 tahoe looking at 15s or 18s ..really want 18s on it but this sub line looks promising and it's seems fairly efficient and I like efficiency
@mazda2284 i looked at it on their website and it's really nice for a single spot fuse block didn't i hear him say they are linkable id like to see a video of 3-4 linked to see what they look like in all honesty they look like they have more copper than my SMD fuse blocks and with the ceramic and copper together should have good heat dissipation
this is the work of mazda right? i remember a few years ago him saying he wanted to bring it back. this sub is very nice, quite coparable to american bass hawk
Nice video as usual, Parker. I always thought 40hz was the pick frequency in my car until I tried 38hz. Your results: 35hz=139.6 40hz=140.9 45hz=136.3 38hz= ?
Hey can you do a review on the audiopipe 1299pp super bass dual 12s in a sealed box? I just recently got a used set for 150, the amp I have them hooked up to is a power acoustiks 2500w amp and a 1600w 9.5mm wiring kit, and so far they sound absolutely fantastic, I would really like to see how they stack up against other stuff
Parker.....that's one hell of a subwoofer there...love when the cone stays linear throughout play and not wave...sounds sonically correct too😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Just curious, what makes this sub stand out from similar price point subs from other companies? Why should I purchase this one over a Sundown, Deaf Bonce, etc? Thanks
What happens if you put a shallow mount sub in a regular size ported box? Would the lack of control on speaker? Just something new, you can blow up your entertainment
I’ve had a W3. I will say JL is up there with premium brands but the price 😮geeeeesh. JL is really a flex. You got to be a baller to rock a full JL system.
Man that thing took power like a hero! And i don't particularly care about SPL, I prefer sound quality. With that being said, I'm sure that with this very linear suspension it should be able to sound really good as well.
No there's only like 1 inhuman or so that i know of outside of Jacob thats out of the shop, there's only gonna be a total of 200 of them made, but yes don't nobody really have them yet @Sheenoobie
I am from San Francisco california...ive had done many audio installs for all of my east bay area and central valley california customers. Its fun and exciting. I had thought and heard of slapz audio subs in thinking of giving it a try. After ive watch parker the basshead did the brutal test on the slapz audio sub test a few days ago, that was a good thing to know what slapz audio can do. After parker did the brutal test, had fingers crossed that it would make through in hopes to become a slapz fan. Once the brutal test began went well for a least a minute but once the 2 minutes reaches went up in smokes quickly and took a dump. Don't get me wrong it is a nice looking sub even though the basket are the same as the skar audio 12s vxf models. Parker proved the brutal test and nope i am not going purchased slapz audio subs after watching this video. I have to say dark audio i have never heard before and once i came across parker video and gotta watch this brutal testing and see. My thought was it going to take a dump and up in smoke too. Once the brutal test began after the 2 minutes and 3 minutes and after yeah its going to make it through and pass the brutal test. Made it past 5 minutes of the brutal beating that dark audio subwoofer took the brutal and took it like a champ. Dark audio builds are built to tough.
For comparison, a Savard 12” HiQ subwoofer is selling right now for $279, has 30 mm of xmax, a 300 ounce magnet, push terminals that accept 8 gauge, and otherwise have similar specs to this subwoofer. Test a 12” or 15” Savard HiQ sub Parker!!! Edit: HOLY COW this sub lasted 5 minutes at RMS power?!?!?! Wow!!! That’s impressive!!!
Hey, parker, I've been watching you for a while. What's your opinion on headway vs paying the premium for a limitless cmax bank, which would be my best buy. Would love to see a video going over different batteries and their differences
Hey parker new ish bass head here i got a power acoustic gotitc GW-124 on a taramps bass 1200 @1 ohm in a custom 2.75 cubic ft box before displacement any recommendations on a new subwoofer for it? Box is tuend to 32 hz i have a video on my channel everything has improved alot I made a amp rack and evething all clean wires 4 ga and all 12 gauge oversized ofc from skyhigh for the subwoofer also gonna soon be buying a 14v XS Power D1400 battery cant wait to bring my voltage up it drops to 11.7
Almost none of the bass from the wooofers are coming through your vids lately, there is soo much vibration and 'envirnmental' noise, it makes the sub in testing sound like hot garbage. Can you use a new/better cam or mic to catch the audio? Overloading a microphone would be preferable to what is being recorded right now.
Co-owner of Dark Audio Industries here; appreciate the feedback Parker! We're extremely proud of these results
It's about time!!! I will be buying some of these

This goober let's big jeff dominate him for his free sticker packs. 😂😂😂😂 kick rocks fuqboi
@@DankCoconutuh not even in the video….. Good job troll
I bought a couple of the 8inch subs just before they went out of business good to see them again.
Yes !!!! Yessas!!! I had the nko's but for a hundred bucks per and fed with 2000 watts in a 1.2 ft3 chamber sealed, two twelves damaged the hinges and latch in my crown vics trunk . I am very excited they are back.
Brad is gonna be pumped with this video. Nice job on this sub Brad. Glad to see it performed so well
💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

lmk how you like it , i have a video of them on my channel showing how to link them
I’m liking this different brands from average joes
Yessir fun to try some different stuff!
Take the temperature of the coil and motor after the test.
@@girthquake9655 I was also curious.
Nice been waiting for this. Actually recommended you review this sub to dark audio.
I appreciate the recommendation!!
I remember that hifonics brutus running its rms for 6 minutes with no smoke. I was definitely not expecting that!
Outstanding results😊
Hey, can you do a review of the new 2025 american bass xfl sub.
I still got all all my nko's . 3 8'S and 3 10'S.
Bro you really need a heater in the work shop! Thanks for the dedication!
😂 I agree with you his dedication is undeniable. It’s only 6° here right now.
Always a good day when I see a Parker upload
The man with the plan is back again!! 💪
Haha less planning and more winging it 😂💪🏼🔊
@ParkerTheBasshead heck yeah brother! I'm here for it!

Solid Sub and Great testing Parker!
Awesome video, keep them coming and as always, keep bassing on💪👍⚡️
Seems that they are getting alot of wonderful subs in the $225 to $250 area. Thought about doing a shootout amongst some subs in this price bracket?
Where do you buy this subs
Do a series on the cheapest loudest 18s
I really wanna see you put up rockford fosgate punch subs on these tests.
Was that whole fuse block copper it even looked like the ceramic fuse was Copper is that what i saw??
copper ceramic , block is machined pure copper
@mazda2284 i looked at it on their website and it's really nice for a single spot fuse block didn't i hear him say they are linkable id like to see a video of 3-4 linked to see what they look like in all honesty they look like they have more copper than my SMD fuse blocks and with the ceramic and copper together should have good heat dissipation
@@SlamryCamry19 they have a link bar included and slot in cover for it .
@@SlamryCamry19 uploading a video for you right now
@mazda2284 thanks bro
Great video. What’s your favorite bass song for testing subs?
this is the work of mazda right? i remember a few years ago him saying he wanted to bring it back. this sub is very nice, quite coparable to american bass hawk
thats me !
Parker! Turn the heat on man! Looks cold in that garage 😂
Great video man!
Hey Parker love you're content when are you doing to put the bass blaster 12 to the test?
always look forward to your vids🙌
Might have to try them out. I wonder how it compares to a Pride M9-12....
Wow. It did way better then the "Slapz" sub!
@parker the basshead, ive been wondering what head unit you have been using to be able to tune for low hertz.
Hey Parker, how about checking out the new American bass XFL? One of my personal favorites.
can you do a quantum 15 5000 watts woofer ?
Yo parker I would love to see you do the new prv subs I would love to see what they are like
Here from TikTok lol. Guess you’re my new fav bass head!
Great vid bro, I always wondered what happened to these guys.
Nice video as usual, Parker.
I always thought 40hz was the pick frequency in my car until I tried 38hz.
Your results:
35hz=139.6
40hz=140.9
45hz=136.3
38hz= ?

Parker.....that's one hell of a subwoofer there...love when the cone stays linear throughout play and not wave...sounds sonically correct too😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Nice subwoofer.
sup parker big fan from hawaii, i was wondering wht alternator you use🤙🏽
Resilient sounds v2 gold
Just curious, what makes this sub stand out from similar price point subs from other companies? Why should I purchase this one over a Sundown, Deaf Bonce, etc? Thanks
Could the cold temps have helped the sub survive? Looks like a nice sub just saying...
What happens if you put a shallow mount sub in a regular size ported box? Would the lack of control on speaker?
Just something new, you can blow up your entertainment
I thought you got a garage heater, am I not remembering right?
I’d pay $100-$150 for it definitely. Looks nice 👍
It’s $250
@ that’s cool
I liked skar audio, the most, when I was in car audio
Hey Parker how was the SQ with the sub? What would you compare it to, Skar, AB, etc? Thanks!
I'd put lugs on wire & direct contact to fuse on holder no bare wire to holder. Or a 150 amp breaker with lugs on wire. For power supply
Would be awesome if you do a review on the rs plat v1 and V2 oh and the onyx bc not much info on the onyx
Hi Basshead
I would love to see a review on the DD audio 608f idk it seems crazy to me that it's rated for 1000rms 🤷🏻♂️✨
I did an 139 with 1 sa10 in an 1.15cf box. In a jeep jku sahara on a skar 2k
No way love my nko 12s they beat hard
Yessir wish I still had mine!
Love the content!
Are they coming out with a 8 inch sub
Show us a jl w6 or w7 testing, are they worth the MONEY 💰
I need to get one. They are just soooo expense 😅
Not worth the money. I've had one. There are better subs for the price.
I’ve had a W3. I will say JL is up there with premium brands but the price 😮geeeeesh. JL is really a flex. You got to be a baller to rock a full JL system.
Is the car making all that noise? Or is the sub making all that racket? If it's the sub that box is way wrong lol or the port is
Man that thing took power like a hero! And i don't particularly care about SPL, I prefer sound quality. With that being said, I'm sure that with this very linear suspension it should be able to sound really good as well.
Dam this sub lasted longer than the sundowns biggest sub
The inhuman?
No there's only like 1 inhuman or so that i know of outside of Jacob thats out of the shop, there's only gonna be a total of 200 of them made, but yes don't nobody really have them yet @Sheenoobie
U should do the 6.5 inch skar sub
Can you do a 3000watt American bass 10 inch 1044 subwoofer.
Seems efficent 300 rms doing that .nice .might look into them

What would it take for you to send me the sub with the messed up leads? I need a decent sub and I could fix that for sure
i believe thats also called continous wats its in pa systems like 300 non stop 600 rms etc
Im sure this is how slapz was hoping their review was going to go lol .
My sundown x18 seen like 4.6 peaked not a weird sound or anything
For comparison, a Savard 12” HiQ subwoofer is selling right now for $279, has 30 mm of xmax, a 300 ounce magnet, push terminals that accept 8 gauge, and otherwise have similar specs to this subwoofer.
Test a 12” or 15” Savard HiQ sub Parker!!!
Edit: HOLY COW this sub lasted 5 minutes at RMS power?!?!?! Wow!!! That’s impressive!!!
Earthquake tremor-x 1500 watt 15 inch subwoofer review pls 🙏
Cool looking woofer
Hey, parker, I've been watching you for a while. What's your opinion on headway vs paying the premium for a limitless cmax bank, which would be my best buy. Would love to see a video going over different batteries and their differences
Headways are old tech now get some scibs or plananno . It all depends what you’re charging at also
@jesshalodenied I could charge at whatever I have autotech 320
Try out the new PIONEER subwoofers which claim 1800 watts RMS.....
You know who I miss? Hutchinson audio. 😢
Me too!
Re Audio. They had monster subs
That sure looks like a resilient sounds sub🤔

Fuse the speaker outputs of your amps.
I wanna see this go up against the new American bass xfl
Let’s go 1st one here
💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
@ seriously is that actually you. If so that’s dope
Just because it does 120 amps doesnt mean it wont try to pull it and thats what was popping the fuse it definitely was pulling nore than 100
Better luck next time... views worthy of the content quality. 😂
prodigy audio next!
Your face moves alot lol. Cool video
