Did you upgrade anything in the corolla as far as alternator or battery I'm just wondering because I have a 2011 corolla and would love some bass but don't want to have to upgrade a bunch of things right off the bat that's why I'm so up in the air about maybe just going with one of they're smaller packages like an 8 inch just afraid the 8 might be not enough for me lol
I knew once you went with a vented enclosure in a trunk that alone would bring it to life,it helps the pressure flow out and into the cabin.Well done,when I was a teen in the 90s you would have to get Rockford fuasgate and orian to sound like that$$$$$
Some "rusty old pro from the 90s tips": You need to trim that carpet around the sub and then use a gasket. Enough air leaks to impact the sound. Facing a sub backwards masks distortion/clipping which could lead to speaker damage. Subwoofer distortion usually needs to hit about 20% total harmonic before the human ear can detect it. Clipping can cause damage by trying to instantly stop the speaker at the point of clip instead of the smooth transition in direction like you see in the waves on a scope. I might buy one of these. Ive been missing low end since I bought my car, and now that its old and paid for.... :)
I have a skar competition setup in one of my trucks and an Amazon skar setup in my daily. The Amazon setup is awesome for being their budget lineup. There's a several thousand watt difference between my setups but it's plenty for a daily.
Its not a subsonic filter, subsonic is just lower than the speed of sound. Its an infrasonic filter, infrasonic waves are sound waves that are lower in frequency than what humans can hear.
There's nothing inherently wrong about providing a sub with less power than it's rated for. Just wanted to clarify that. In fact it's probably best for making sure you don't blow the sub.
The only down fall to under powering subs is if you give them full power in the future they may blow at less power than rated because they where under powdered
If you don’t clip the sub and the amp is tuned properly doesn’t matter what size amp you go with you could put a 10,000 watt amp on it and with the right tuning you will never blow the sub bub
I never head issues mounting the amp to the sub. The only difference is that I mounted a VIBE FastPlug quick disconnect for the power and audio. It takes up less space and is real easy to remove.
I had my amp mounted to my box in my daily driver for 5 plus yrs. System hit 156 plus dB. I got a ticket once for rattling a cops windshield. Never had a problem with rattling the amp that is just a myth. So don't worry about it
@@mattm2684 it's true that most amps use surface mount of the boards and have some form of isolator on them I'm sure. I don't want my anp mounted to my box because then a thief gets my amp, sub and box in one go if they decide to steal it. Crackhead are everywhere lol
The way you put your finger to protect the surround when screwing in the sun I can tell you've punctured a surround before. We've all learned that lesson the hard way.
Sdr subwoofers are not good. Get a 12" Soundqubed subwoofer O yeah. Now if you like Skar Audio get a 12" Skar VFL and put it in that nice box to match.
I have that same box but I ported it with a BIG ASS AREO PORT 6 INCH the sub of my choice is a X-15 with the REAL HIGH XMAX I am experiencing super low end bass tune to 26hz I would recommend doing so if your sub is high excursion sub
What was that porch? Did you do this work outside an old timey saloon? I’m sure you neighbors love your new sub woofer. I know I love the kid up the street when he comes home at 1am and wakes up the whole neighborhood with his headers and subwoofer set up. Especially on a work night.
I started like you but went with (1) Skar 10” SDR in factory carpeted box & RP800 @1 ohm and was pleased for a good while. I upgraded to Down4Sound’s JP8 “Blue Beast” running at 1 ohm too with Skar’s (1) DDX 10” (DVC2) in factory Skar’s rhino lined ported enclosure and it’s as loud as my 89’ Honda CRX with the Punch 150 and (2) 15” RF subs back then! Technology has come along way and so many brands now to pick from! Good luck in your builds!#🔊❤️100PercentJake
after spending around $2000 or more I now realize even good subwoofers are quiet in the trunk of a bmw. Reason why is because the trunk is completely sealed off from the cabin, not even a way to fold my seats down. What a waste of time and money. I will probably have to buy a cheap hatchback car just to do the system justice.
😂 I too thought "nice design" on prom night when looking at the hole and my lady at the time seemed to appreciate it. Supporting American companies is something everyone (if you're an American) should think about. I love when people think this way as it's very important imo.
I am trying to put a pioneer 6.8 receiver from bestbuy and two 8" subwoofers sdr series with a 1,400 watt amp package in my 2004 cadillac escalade ext.
You should know that wiring your sub down to one ohm would get you the full 800 W out of that amp if your subs are wired to two ohm or four ohm, you’re only going to get half of that power so you should look into wiring the sub down to one ohm because that’s what that amp is rated for. I also have the same set up but 10 inch in my five series BMW And it sounds great if you don’t already have it wired to one ohm 👍🏻
I will say I am and have always been a fan of component systems but the problem is fitting the mid range and tweeters with the crossover unit and then bolting 2 subs to an acoustic shelf (MDF). But once you fit it the clarity is amazing you tend to hear it as clear as a full range test disk wants it to be, one problem is if you have a teen who wants so blow out the rear screen then you have to bridge the amp and well!!!!!!!!!!!
You have to run the wire on the sub positive to positive on one side and negative to negative on on the other that’s the wire from the box to the sub do that and it’d be way better
Not bad sound at all, and reasonable price too! I threw a blaupunkt all-in-one sub under the passenger seat of my insight, needed to raise the rear of the seat slightly, but you can find one that doesn’t need it. Then, just some regular 6.5s in the doors, and added behind the seats in the stock holes. It honestly sounds great for a cheap setup, and now I have the cargo bin back, which was previously taken up by a custom (heavy af) sub enclosure that came with the car 🤷♂️
Hey Jake, can you hear me now? Huh? Can you hear me now? Huh? That will be you when you get to my age. Take care of your hearing, I didn't and I can't hear you now!
Depends heavily on the artist. Most of it is pretty light on the bass and the sub doesn’t add much. Other stuff like White Wedding pt1, on the other hand, absolutely pounds.
I had the older package deal with VVXv3 and the RP800.1 and it was very good for the money. If I was to go with Skar again I would probably do the SK line on a single SVR. I have a DD audio 712 and DM1000.1 now and kinda think it’s overpriced…
@@559Obsalex personally I keep it off. It can introduce clipping really quick and that’s what blows subs. Bass eq is there name for bass boost and will raise a whatever frequency it’s set at. So if it’s set for 40 hz it will boost 40 hz and maybe some higher or lower. The only reason I could think I would use it is maybe if the sub was in a sealed box and you was getting no lower end.
Um a single 12 or 10 with 400 to 600 watts is noticeable in the car but not much else. I'm sure he purposely won't be blaring it at 3am with all his windows down while sitting in his driveway.
who said he was gonna annoy his neighbors? 600 watts can't be heard from any far distance if the windows are up. Unless you are within 20ft of the vehicle.
@@RicardoPCGamer exactly. My car has about 450 watts to the door speakers and right around 500 to the 10" sub and with windows up, 10 feet away from the car you can hear the bass slightly but not much else. Definitely can't hear it from in the house.
Ignorant boomer comment. Lol. I personally push 500 watts to my Skar and it gets down but I usually utilize the bass knob if I’m in residential areas to not disturb the locals regardless of time of day. The bass knob stays at 0 for the most part during night drives however. Not everyone who has systems are assholes willing to piss people off. This is a hobby to improve the music quality above the shitty factory system most cars come with.
Skar is the best of the budget stuff without a doubt

Putting holes in your box is bad. The vibration can shorting the life of the amp.
I'd prefer to not have my amp mounted directly to the box where the vibration is transferred in that manner.

I have the same sub except for being an 8 instead of 12
I have it I believe in the same ported box that skar makes, and it's fantastic
Has it broken down yet I’m thinking on getting the kit?
what settings do you use on the amp for this setup

Not me personally, but I've heard of it happening enough to not want to take chances.
Hey Jake, you always have great cutscene music (in this case the bass tuning music). Any chance you can list it out? If not no worries.

But how does it compare to the Hur Der 6 hundoes?
Bass knobs are awesome when u have kids in the car or cops are behind u or sometimes u jus wanna turn the bass off or down
Dear Jake, will there also be a decently quiet exhaust system?

Upgrade your speaker to the DDX or EVL series and get a SKAR amplifier that has RP-1200.1D to RP-1500.1D watts and you will be happy 😃
Trunk what Trunk? My 93 Integra had two 10" subs in there lol

I bet money for nothing sounds good and I want my MTV
Face the sub forward and put down the access seat panel
2:20 made me laugh way harder than it should have. it was the oooooooh
Have to play some Hard Bass in the Bimmer now.
Why did you put the box in upside down? Cringe lol
how do you stilln use 120v drill.
Just installed this amp and it really works well at 2 and 1 ohm.
How do you like ported vs sealed ???;
I think this can also be called the boot delete upgrade
