MBE cant do a proper test when it comes to Sundown. Sundowns can take massive power way over rated ratings. G5 may be more efficient at lower ratings but that doesn’t mean it’s the better sub. Put some power to them Sundowns and you will see what it can do. Carlos has proven this in the 1 subwoofer tests. DD hanging down lower than basic subs. MBE hates on sundown. I had a 2 ZV6 12’s on a Salt4 and then switched to a Salt 8 and it woke them up. No matter what MBE says Sundowns have proven to be one of the kings hands down. That G5 is maxed out and the Sundown is being tickled with power. Surprised he didnt break out the paper clips lol. Here’s a test…do double the rated power to those subs and let’s see who is better.
@@danieldejesusjr3348 more power means more heat it may take double the rated power but to what extent after a certain amount of watts your bringing alot of heat,also the band of the game is to get the most out of your equipment volume wise without turning it up to holy hell. I got no dog in the race but back in the day all I remember was hearing ppls sustenance and them saying that was just on 10 or what ever the volume level was
All due respect I mess with you for your knowledge. I respect your hand with box design. You didn’t give them a fair shake though, you could’ve went up more clicks and gave that sundown more power, and that g5 isn’t remotely in the xv4 class. Might as well put the G7 in a spec box and xv4 in an optimal spec box then put them in the truck and let numbers talk with clamp or meter and run both to clipping. Real world results. I’m a DD Audio guy myself, just my opinion, that’s all.
Im debating on these either the 12 dd audio , sundown (debating on which subs size also), or the avatar stu 12 .. i live in Oklahoma so im kinda pushing towards dd audio but not sure hard decision .. thanks for the vid hope u and other do more comparisons on these.. i have a taramps smart 8k bass and going to get a salt -4 .. hard decisions on the woofers tho 🤔
NEMESIS AUDIO TEAM-8"___NA-T8 Now thats an 8" subwoofer that most definitely needs to be in this battle...... I don't think any of these subs in this video could compete... Its an 8" subwoofer that has a freaking 3" voice coil and 1500rms.....
my man i know your objective etc. however i do feel this kind of test is not really indicative of much i feel a legit SPL burp will be the decider and for anybody else a demo in a comparative build as everybodies idea of Sound quality is different so yeah.
@@chokechange no. They'll have different impedance curves, so you'll get all kinds of weird frequency specific interactions that are gonna get in the way of any useful data
@@blakebrockhaus347 I do agree that separate amps would be best. IMHO ideally playing them side by side in real time for comparison at the same time would be more interesting, to me.
@@larryneal4672you better rethink that. I've heard both. I have sundown woofers, nemesis woofers and massive woofers. And I'm going to tell you that dd and DC are a totally different animal.

Get up your money up and compare them yourself then , how you gonna hate on a man for actually knowing what he’s talking about. You don’t learn shit from just hearing 2 different speakers playing through a video 😂😂
You turned the G7 up till clipping but never turned the X8V4 up to clipping. That X8V4 has a lot more in it
I agree I was waiting for the X to be turned up too.
Yeah he was clearly biased
I agree as well that xv4 can take way more power you even admit it but refuse to show it.
That’s the G5, not the G7, correct? Maybe I missed something.
That G5 is about to blow while the sundown is starving for more power.
😂
I igree with you opinion 👍🏻

@@danieldejesusjr3348”i have” exactly youre biased lmfao
Sundown audio the better sub..just accept it..
Prove it.
@@M.B.Enclosuresshould be easy to do, build boxes for both throw them in the truck and meter them.

X8v4 crazy lows insane sound quality is crazy
After watching this video. I change my mind. Sundown X-8..lol
Either way, they are both SPL subs for it's performance level....if you like SPL subs you can't go wrong with either one.
needs more power on the sundown it's underrated put it on 1500 rms then watch er get down ....both are good subs but that g5 is impressive
The sundown wins, I sale both, finding what the sundown is happy with is the hardest. Don’t put the suggested RMS for sure, go higher as hellll
the quality on the DB G7 is going to be much better also
Yea should have added more to the sundown see how much she’s moves with more power
I’m going with db drive on this one for the W.
Man that G7 murdered that Sundown X4
This man straight up hating on sundown lmao
I used to want a G7 but after watching this video. I think i want a Xv4
G7 8” has bigger cutout and stronger more than x8v4…and the x8 score SPL same and the G5 which is the lil brother of the G7 8” …
Im replacing my 2-10" zv6 for 4 x8v4 so i can get my back seat back in my truck. Hopefully they will sound just as good or better
Db drive G7 8” much better choice
@M.B.Enclosures wish I would of known lil sooner, I already got the x8v4. G7 big difference?
😬that db sounds like it’s gonna pop!
Bring the power up on the x8

Have you made a box for 2 8" for the new sundown yet with no seatlift for 22 sierra?
Both seem great, the g5 does seem to move more but looks like the xv4 has way more range, also I agree u need to give the xv4 more power
NEMESIS AUDIO TEAM-8"___NA-T8
Now thats an 8" subwoofer that most definitely needs to be in this battle......
I don't think any of these subs in this video could compete... Its an 8" subwoofer that has a freaking 3" voice coil and 1500rms.....
He's already tested the nemesis 8
That Magnet 🤣
Bruh l love 12s and you always say cone area is king, you got me wanting 8s I'm debating between fosgate and kicker
DB Underrated.
Thats why I trust you
First one sound like a 4 stroke vtwin yamaha. Second one sound like a 4 stroke parallel twin honda. I'm curious to see how they sound in a box.
I didn’t see that 608 on dd website but looking at the price I would just get that dd 2508
You say you like sundown but always trying to find a reason not too..sundown takes the W
Sundown wins in my opinion on this test . Sundown way more controlled.
Maybe because it can’t efficiently use power and response as quickly as the G5. G5 8” has 22.5mm Xmax the x8 only has 19mm
Very possible , think we will definitely know for sure once we get them in the enclosure.
G5 takes the the crown 👑🙌
Price on box for two 8s, for a 1500 chevrolet 1500 quad truck for just powerful sundown 8sv4
I want to hear you demo this song called “only voice “ by lil Raskull. It’s gospel rap but I think you’ll love it.
Like to see some test with the 8" B2 AUDIO RAMPAGE even though it seems impossible to find them available anywhere....
also RESILIENT SOUNDS GOLD 8"
Can be found in Europe. And more to come in less than 2 weeks
interesting comments so far
🤣We see u kingkong 🔥🔥

Looks like this guy dont like sundown at all 😢
Can you play both at the same time so they flexing at the same time?
He would need two separate amps in order to do that effectively.
@@blakebrockhaus347 That can work best but I think still would be helpful if they shared the same channel

Do x8v4 vs dc m4
Stop that bro that sundown v4 will kill the shit out that dc

I just didn't want to sit four hours for the people at the place that sells DC to build the box. It would have taken me two hours to drive there too.
I literally skipped through the whole video because you talk to much 🤷🏻♂️
Great

Sundown wins all periods it’s all his personal preference but who’s winning all the records for loudest vehicles
To me they looked pretty close.
The Sundown actually handled the power better free air.. we’ll have to see what they do on the box .
