That puts into perspective the subs we beat on back in the late 90s and early 2000s that just had pole venting and never failed. Still think to this day manufacturing was way better back then compared to today. Subwoofer tech is way better today though
Inverted in the enclosure.
DIY Audio Guy yes! That’s smart seems like I shoulda thought of that in the beginning lol
Solid test! I have my own little go to method of seeing if the coil will hold up. I’ve been bumping “throw it up” since the day it came out- full tilt , playing the whole song on every subwoofer I’ve owned. If it can’t hang with some lil Jon- I don’t recommend it to anyone lol🤓🔊🔊🔊
Full tilt boogie 😂
Knockin heads off hits really hard
Lil Jon- Da Blow... Thats my go to test on every one of my subs and so far my resilient sounds gold v2 12"! And my golden eagle's 12" both 1500 watt Rms.. They do the damn thang!!! Happy with both brands.. price wise, go with the golden eagle !! Couldn't believe for $150 for those eagles they still holding up!! Of course the resilient sounds look better and are just a lil bit smoother
was i the only one moving my phone side to side trying to get the glare off the temp gun as if it would actually help?..lol..good vid Hi Fi!
lol that’s why I had to cut the lights off
I was trying to get him to move his hand or turn off lights I was able to accomplish 50% not bad if I say myself 🤣
Ready for more woofers, you started the amplifier revolution, now sub revolution. Your The King of Audiophiles Rights🍻
Ha! I wish. The subwoofer shootout begins today 😉
Savard go hard
It’s cool watching the impedance rise as the coil heats up. 👍🏼👍🏼
"music has peaks and dips" im going to have to slightly disagree on that alot of what people play nowadays is very bass heavy and is pretty much just solid sinewaves with some kicks the sub is under stress and its even worse for alot of rebassed music if a sub cant handle its wrms rated power for atleast 5min on a sinewave its as good as dead in a demo car
I can’t speak to what a lot of the guys are listening to now, but I will say full RMS on a sine wave for 5 min is absolutely insane. What sub do you think could do that because I’d be interested in getting one and trying it
@@HifiVega I'm almost 110% sure most sundown subs can handle it being X series and up same goes with Orion deafbonce avatar etc. Would be interested to see it
Looking forward to the rebuild
Me too!
@@HifiVega i been looking hard at those savard subs. keep up the good work.
Glad to see more from Savard. Keep the vids coming bro. 💪🔊
Thanks!
7:35 is when most guys sell their subs on fb market place
😂😬
Boston acoustics woofer cooker makes a lot more sense now
Definitely in the enclosure inverted. This is just more realistic we use enclosures and that’s what we want to know right.
if you cut a small hole in back of the box you can aim directly at voice coil . that way you can mount the sub like it needs to be
No smoke, flames ? 😞
Subs definitely in the box.
Your 100% correct a continuous sine wave at half power is much more tortuous than music.
Robert Van Hoy I’ll do inverted next time, but I don’t wanna blow anymore subs lol
@@HifiVega Its fun !! Especially when it's someone else's money 🤣
One thing Id like to see. Is blowing a sub without any clipping what so ever. Using the cleanest, purest signals possible. Blow subs with high end quality. The lower the THD the better. Also a video explaining all the things that can effect, damage and blow a subwoofer coil in the future would be great. Thanks for the testing vids. Keep em coming.
I didn’t have enough power to take this one to the level I wanted without a slight soft clip for very short periods
I just love the full send subwoofer videos👍I'm also interested in sub rebuild vids too i would like to build my own subs one day from parts so whenever people ask what kind of subs are those I can say those are E-DUD 12s 🤣🤣. I'm going to go ahead friday and have GP Audio cut out my new box on their cnc will be 2 12 right side port 3.5 qubes 35hz.👍
Sign me up for an E dud
Testing in the box keeps it a real world test.
I think so too, but next time I’ll invert like everyone has mentioned
I hear very good things about this brand. How is the sound quality of your sub?
Sounds good I prefer the pro series for sound over the Rap, but the raps can get down on modest power.
Is this Rockville looks like it
I'm getting one from your affiliate link,I got one from the 3rd era,still have to get that video together,but yeah I need it's sister lol.
OG!! In due time brotha! Hope all is well with the fam!
@@3RDERA we are trying to get things together in the new home ,I have the tool crib somewhat together still have to dig out a few more and then the poop hits the fan ,pray for me God knows I need it,y'all keep me going buddy,hope all is well with you and yours as well.
@@3RDERA I'm thinking old school zappco for the 4.5 and an old alpine 3522 for the 6.5 ,s and an arc audio 600 dxi on the sevard.got the wood together but I've torn the car down for paint so it won't be pretty at first but y'all get the jist
Yeah mang I’ll keep an eye out for that vid
Also, anyone by chance have any specs for a 4th order bandpass that'll work for 2 12" Kicker c12a competitions that'll fit in a 85 Regal? Thanks in advance!!
IllegalRegal 8594 they might have something on this site
subbox.pro/en/bass-box/
@@HifiVega much appreciated brother!
l check it out.
Maaan I really wish Savard made 6x9s and 5x7s
Cool video!!! Imma gonna blow up my bass tube with my boss 100 watt!!!
That’s a rap on this one lol! Good video!
Ha!
I broke the NVX VCW15 awhile back I found out it was spider detachment again (2nd nvx to do that) so I decided to do an experiment and ordered a 10" 12 spoke basket and a 3" coil cone with a large roll surround from Lord of bass, that all fit so now I'm going to order a compatible 3" but flat wound coil and spiders. spider choice is the part I'm worried about. But that basket looks killer on that 200oz triple stack! Any spider choice suggestions are welcome. I have to get DATS so I can see what it is after. I ordered a 5" PSI dustcap too (kinda wrong but whatever)
Aaron Waltz I haven’t gotten big into speaker building yet so I imagine you might have more knowledge on the subject of spiders than me... I’d shoot for something strong, but not too stiff because some of the extra stiff spiders take an inordinate amount of time to break in.
@@HifiVega oh I have zero building from scratch I've watched buttloads of RUclips on it and we'll gotta just jump in an test the waters sink or swim!, sub parts on Lord of bass are surprisingly affordable. Coils are the most expensive and most are in the $40 range. The basket was only $20 the cone/surround was less than $20, double stack spider with sewn in leads is like $10..!. It'll be fun I think I'm anxious to see if it's a beast... I'm worried it will either be to be to much motor and spider will be to soft and start slapping quick or to stiff and end up inefficient with high FS... Only one way to find out guess.
Nice
Yet I've been running my Sundown X15 at double rated power for nearly a year now. But that's on music, not a solid sine wave
Sundown is conservatively rated for sure and I’ve got a sundown to test in this price range, so keep an eye out for that one too!
@@HifiVega will definitely be watching out for it
Just ordered 2 rap 10v2 , nice test.
12 inch savards next?
And a few more brands
HifiVega looking forward to it
Great video fam is any good bass music you can recommend besides bass mechanics?
Thanks! Check out PEB Tech master and DJ Magic Mike
I think it should handle full rating for 1 minute at least as long as signal is not clipped , and mount the sub inverted in a box that’s turned no higher than 40hz
That’s a big task that maybe even some of the biggest names might not be able to handle
Looking forward to the rebuild. The rap was on my short list but tbh the logo looks a little cheesy to me and I couldn’t get past that. Love the look of the hi q though
The hi-q is super nice
This is so totally awesome
Thanks!
Inverted will be easier to heat check
For sure! A few guys mentioned that now and I’ll def do it like that from here on out.
Awesome video HiFi Vega...
Sad to see that sub blow; smh 🤦♂️
You & Big D really caught my attention with Savard. Sad to see this one go up in smoke (but it was for science)...
How'd you get your hands on this one?🤔 I've been on Savard's waiting list for three (3) Hi-Q8s.
I'm ready to give up & look to another brand 🤷♂️
I'll definitely be watching for the recone & any other torture test that you do; so that I can find a good alternative sub besides the Savards.
Keep up the good work 👍😎👍
They’ve had a hard time keeping stock in. Hopefully you get yours soon, but I’ll have another mini shootout soon enough I just need to figure out how I wanna set it all up.
@@HifiVega I'm definitely tuned in for another one of your shootouts!!! The 6.5 shootout was ridiculous!! 🤯😎🤯
Who would you recommend as a good competitor(s) to a HiQ8?
HiFi's Shootout/HiFi's Seal-of-Approval means alot in the audio community 👍👍
when you rebuild that take the motor off the basket and put 10 mm spacers between them . it will give the vioce coil air no matter what . then instead of putting 1 spider in it buy a 1/2 inch spider spacer and put 2 spiders in it . you will get more xmax and way better cooling .
rms none clipped should never fail even if you send it a tone.... the test reminds of subs that have program, burst, peak or other ratings of the sorts
That’s a tall order with a test tone, but this sub would have handled it for 1min but def not 2min
No don't do it , before I even start watching
🤣
Great video! What's your favorite subwoofer of all time?
Gen 1 JL W6’s or the RF Punch DVC 12 from the late 90’s
Great choices I would add old school precision power to the list
Turn on the lights
basshead VFL trying to set the ambience!
I found the power drop interesting starting over 700 and coming down into the 500’s fairly quickly.
Thumper 1968 and I honestly didn’t have much voltage drop at all...
HifiVega I didn’t figure you did or you would have addressed it. I’d be interested to see you do a similar test with another amp and see if it does the same. Of course no need to blow a sub for that though.
Thumper 1968 I’ve gotta few I could try, but I do need to get my hands on something that can throw a little more juice a little more easily
HifiVega HifiVega you mean power supply juice or amp juice? I think it would definitely be interesting to see a few amps tested in same video and maybe on a couple different subs to see if the results very possibly between different coil materials, ohm loads etc.
Helps not to clip it
Going in and out of a light clip is pretty normal when you’re testing subs like this or doing spl. Most people just don’t show that on video 😉
It’s done! 😂😂😂
Jason Rose call back!
Why you using cheap wire bro
sword007 sword007 that’s Stinger 4ga OFC and Skyhigh 8ga OFC...
Rebuild ;).
If you rebuild it, it will bump!
Savard seems great except the branding . Who wants a china sounding sub like hi q?? Or name their economy bass woofer the rap? Gonna call the mids the voice?? Get someone under 90 to name these things.
These are names carried over from the original Savard subs of the 90’s. The Hi-Q was a reference to the high Q of the subwoofer. I don’t know the history of the Rap name tho...
Raps were somewhat popular in the 90's in my neck of the woods along with Rockford Fosgate and Kicker subs. I'm a lil surprised Savard is still around
Ur ac working u look a little hot 😅
It doesn’t work great in this room!
