I own a pair of 12Xv.3 but only used a 1 sub set up. I drove 14 hours TX to MN with 1 and LOVED the SQ of it in R&B/hip hop. Blends very well with only playing say 1/4 full tilt. Very thick low end
Are you selling the other? I live in west Texas if you are
@priyapatel6792 yeah I would, it's still new in box
*Sundown X15 v1 owner in South africa thank you i thought i was the only one feeling these are so smooth*
Hey Vector I appreciate your description of the noisy mechanical bass sounds , and just hearing your car fall apart as opposed to being able to enjoy the bass quality!!!
I suppose I am an SQL person as well . I like it loud and for to hit me in the back and the chest , but it's Got to be Clean bass brother 💪😎👌
Got one in a custom sundown audio enclosure hooked up to a dd audio 2500 and she is nasty boy it sounds like a band pass enclosure it hits the lows extremely hard. Thank you for the video
Probably best description yet!
I just got this sub. Its all or nothing with these. I might go back to the EVL 15. It may pound harder, but at lower volumes this sub is not as responsive. I disagree with everyone on the same wavelenth saying this is an sq sub. Its not. Its decent, but the dynamic separation is not there. I am sure the fan boys are gonna love me.
I'd bet 99% of your issue is enclosure and tuning based.
My current "fav" that I'm running in my test vehicle is a Resilient Sound Gold. I listen to mostly newer metal/rock (think Sirius Octane). It does really well on this type of music. My daily has two FI SSD's which aren't going anywhere. The Skar EVL's are nice also. The FS is a bit high. I swapped out that EVL for the Resilient and don't think I'm going back. At least for now.
American Bass XMaxx Monster is a sound quality sub that pounds hard. You will be very happy.
EVLs lack motor force
B2 rage!!!!!
I had the X12 V1 D4. It's 1200 watts. I had it on my Crescendo Encore 4.5K at 2 ohm getting around 2000 watts and seems like it still wasn't enough. 😁
The X v2, fi Q and RS platinum are my favorite subs ever
@user-di7dz8xx9p he didn't
I do miss my Xv2s... i will be in on the pre-order for the M series 🤙
Sundown x is a different monster. People don't understand this sub and it's flat response that's not geared toward punchy peaky sound some love it some hate it
So it's not so lows focused like I've noticed from the Z and NS?
I love low and smooth bass
650 bucks just not impressed for the money. Love the videos keep up the good work.
Yea for that price I like the c7 from crossfire
Get one from the yard sale it’s almost 50% off
Skar is better for the money
I have a Crossfire C7 15" in my honda and it flat out gets it. @lieutenantmikeo5979
I had two v-115's years ago, they were easily (at that time) the most ridiculous looking, and most over all impressive subs i had ever heard. Did they have their certain faults? Of course, but not many. Ive heard the newer revisions as well as many of the crazier models (z, nightshades, and U's ect), all were spectacular for what they were intended to be used for. Im not impressed with the fanboy mentality at all, and find it completely annoying, but they are the most popular brand for a reason.
Love hearing about all the top quality gear everyone is running in their vehicles. Great stuff. And I'm sure your neighbors love every one of you! LOL If it's too Loud, then you're too Old!
I would like to see a video on the Sundown U series V 2. I feel like that would be a more balanced sub.
The Fosgate T2 13” puts this sub and plenty others to shame. I’ve had the X12” and X 15”, they both were good but the T2 is more musical and digs as low if not lower than accurately and can take rated plus rms.
You need to check out the Savard line of subwoofers. The HiQ line is geared towards sound quality. The 12” HiQ sub also has a 30 mm xmax rating, but only weighs 30 pounds. It is also rated at 1,500 watts but can take quit a bit more power. I used to own a 12” HiQ and it was EXTREMELY clean sounding. That was the most common comment that people made to me about that sub. It is clean.
"Sevard Hi-Q It has a 30 mm Xmax but only weighs 30 pounds". LOL "Only" weighs 30 pounds? That's more than most people's enclosures! I think Sevard make some of the best Subwoofers out there, especially for the price. They even added a new higher end competition line of subwoofers that have some crazy specs on them. Not cheap but for something comparable you'll probably pay twice the price. Best Value in subwoofers - Sevard! But I thought when it came to crazy competition level subs "DD Audio" is the place for monster made in the USA subs? Might have to sell your car to come up the cash though. And "CSS" are known to make very good subwoofers. Limited choices, but off the chart quality. I love it - "Only" 30 pounds. That's crazy! lol!
I'd buy the solox over this sub any day of the week. 32 mm of excursion one way, and not only gets loud, but sounds good doing it. I have one solox 12 in a ford escape suv powered by a rockford fosgate t1500-1bdcp. Does a 147db on music under powered.
And that soloX has way more cone area. And I highly doubt it has more throw than the X. The X has 4 inches of throw before bottoming out. That is 100 mm so 50mm one way. Try that with the kicker and your gonna see torn spiders. I've seen quite a few of em when people try and push em.
Recommend box tuning is 2.5cuft for the X and 4 cuft for the soloX. Why? Because the solo has more cone area. My U series 18s are 4cuft on air space. Which do I want? 12s or 18s?
@bubbawubba2307 personally I don't push my subs past xmax. I don't know why anyone would push to xmech. The solox 12 recommend air space is three cubic feet. I've always ran 12's with a few 10's here and there. 12's are just what I prefer. My box for my l7x 12 is a bit larger than recommended spec and significantly more port area the recommended spec. It's absolutely absurd for one sub. Everyone that hears it for the first time thinks I have a minimum of two 12's and 4000 watts. Then I pop the hatch show them the sub, box, and amp. All they literally say is "what the f-ck". Before I had the l7 q-class 12. Custom box on the same rockford fosgate t1500-1bdcp gain set to 700 watts. Did a 143db on music. I've never tested to see what either of them did on a burp. Now that I have a high output alt I'm either going to get the rockford 2500 or the new kicker warhorse and see what it will do on rms power.
Do remember its to each its own on sub preference. You got any vids of that 147 run? Cause its crazy from a single 12.
@erikbritz8095 obviously it's preference. I've never recorded the db meter. Never really thought about it. I do have some videos of my setup playing though. If you'd like to see a solox 12 just one scoring higher than mine. Check out Living Loud With Andy. He doing a 148. If I remember correctly.
@@SG-Cichlids But you claimed your doing that 147DB lol man don't make claims when you can't backem up. Not every Solo X can do 147 only guys who really know what their doing spl wise does more then 140DB with a single 12, love Solo Xs too but come on man why the false claims. We did a 147.9DB@25hz with a single Sundown X15 v1 but 146DB is documented on my channel so yeah i prefer the Sundown and like both subs just had to clear this numbers thing up.
I have a pair of X V.3 15s and I give them both 4k watts daily!
I still love my Resonant Engineering XXX
lets see a B2 audio Rage 12 sub review!
I’ll be doing the b2 next weekend :)
@@HiFiVector So excited.
Re xxx the latest models were my ideal subs. I owned a 12 and should've never let it go.
I love the x series. Ive had xv2 18s, xv3 12 and xv3 15s... for the price its one of my favorites
I have this sub too, but honestly, I was surprised that i didn't like it. Im sure its because of my enclosure.
The sub could just not be living up to its hype.
Extend the port wall to get more Compression inside
@@jodygriffin7045 You're right, I'll try that. It'll Lower the tuning too. I'm excited to try it, lol.
I've been pounding the hell out of my 2 XV2 15's on 1 salt 4k for the last two years with no problems yet!!🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝
Also you dropping a B2 sub review soon I’d reckon that’s what that white basket is been thinking about getting one just not many American reviews on em be the best RUclipsr alive if you did 😊
I want to see a B2 audio Rage sub review. I have 2 Rage 12 V2 brand new I havnt heard yet but cant wait to. still getting everything I need.
That is a b2 rage sub. I can't wait for the review either
The rage v3 has a carbon dust cap and the v2 do not have carbon dust cap. Almost identical subs tho from v2 to v3
@@1gawdtsi I’m thinking about buying one for a single 12 setup
Yep that’s the next video I am doing. I’m excited to hear it it looks killer.
I love the X series line I had the V2 and went to the V3 both take way over RMS and kills the lows.
Nice love it.
Can you do a video on avatar subs. Not that many out there.
Everyone out there - consider looking at Eminence speakers for your needed "Mid Bass" applications. Made in Kentucky with near unheard of "Quality Control". Mid-Bass that are a punch to the gut, and prices you can afford. Not just for PA systems. (And yes you can use 8 ohm speakers if they don't have 4 ohm speakers in your size with a 4 Ohm amplifier. Just increase your amp watts with an 8 ohm speaker. But there are also a number of 8 ohm stable car amplifiers out there too. Think outside the box and get ya something you are proud of and has a sound unlike other car stereo builds! How about a 10 inch or 12 inch or 15 inch mid bass?) Oh Yeah!
Have an x2 10 in a t line that shakes my ride like no other and I'm only running a 600 watt 100$ amp from wally world. It plays 26hz up to 60 or 70hz very loud.
If Cone movement is the least at tuning. What benefit is 60mm of xmax?.
Do they sound better than the Resilient Sound gold v2? Skar Vxf?
(2) Black Brick - Brick House 12”s paired with an Audio Pipe 8000 h2 have been good to me it did a 150.9 @ 30 hz sealed trunk build 2011 cts. Your Dyno video of the audio pipe h1 convinced me to get that amp.
Had the xv3 18 and recently gotten rid of my xv2 15. I will say the x-series has one of the most unique sound ive ever heard. Compared to my crossfire c7 the lows we're onna different level. C7 killled the xv2 in lows and never smelled. Looking to try the zv6
Noob question here? I'm looking to upgrade from a 800watt setup to a 1250/1500watt setup. Will I be fine with the factory alternator/battery?
Will probably need to up grade to lithium battery 🔋 no alternator yet
@@Yg.71112 Thanks
I love my 2 xv3 18s!
💪😎
They are meant for people who love lows like me. I have an nsv4 18 and it blends well with my sq components. No issues with sound quality if you do it right.
My alpine X-w10d4 is sooooo smooth and gets sooo low for a 10. If this spealer at this price point is that good im excited and sad to swap it for the alpine. I'm not even an Alpine fan I got a really good deal on the speaker and have been very impressed with its performance. Thank you for the review I am totally psyched to try this speaker probably within the next two - three months. Great review
Ps: im running everything in a 2006 mini and not much room. About to start custome box for the extra tire location for more room. Wish me luck.
Very nice Sub. I wonder have you tried the new Kicker Solo sub❓
I'm currently debating whether I should get one sundown x18 or two audio pipe 15s for the same price I already have an 18-in box so have to buy a box of the 15s
I listen to a lot of rock/metal and never really considered the X because I didn't think they would be good for accurate fast kick drums
I'm curious to try them out now but my only concern is the weight, with the box is easy 100lbs for a single 12
Appreciate the review though
Not without a epicenter
I've had the Xv3's in my car for over 2.5 yrs now. I can't even find myself to upgrade lol. They're just sooo good! I got a question for ya. My deaf bonce 600.4 took a dump yesterday. You review alot of amps on here, what do you recommend for a powerful 4 channel amp w a budget price?
amzn.to/3YjjwMM
amzn.to/4c6vVaa
amzn.to/3YrO9j5
Here are a couple that are great and not too expensive.
@@HiFiVector thank you so much!🙏
Don’t feel bad I could only afford to buy a recone Xv2 waiting on a box for it and still haven’t decided on a amp lol
Powerus 8k all day long.. leave behind taramps and other stuff
@@thriveforbest3217 never heard of em and they don’t list specs
@@AceBase5 barevids
Type in and look at sams analysis on this powerus 8k
Is best amp out there for the money can buy... board are solid it has no flaws like taramps....
@@AceBase5you can find specs, powerus is actually really high quality Brazilian full bridge amps they’re definitely above taramps but it comes with a bigger price tag
Owned and listened to so many subs, only 2 subs I've felt were beyond anything in its class were the Ascendant audio havocs and Crossfire C5. Just my opinion. If you've experienced both you know exactly what i mean.
Will you be doing the L7xv12
Just finished my new setup. X15v3 on a jp43 at 1 ohm, holding 14.2v. Thing absolutely eats the 4500+ watts lol (amp dynos 5700w+ at 1ohm@14.4v
What? What did you say? I see your lips moving but can't hear a thing! lol What? No, No a rock did not hit and smash my rear windshield, I got a new Sundown X subwoofer! lol
So your subs are D2 to get them both at 1ohm? I'm planning to buy the same setup
Have you heard the fifteen inch version of this Sub ❓ I kinda want that size❓
I had a 12 v 2 on a rockford bd1000 it slammed like no other
Yeah the V3 is rated at 2000 watts RMS, but I was running two of these 12's and TRUST ME the V2 will handle 2000 watts all day long!!!
Yeah bro ive had a brand new Xv3 18 sitting there for 2 years stuff keeps happening and haven't been able to get it all hooked up
VERY WELL Built If I was to use something like that I would use 2 for Bass And 4 2way 6/9 for ✨️voice and sound ✨️Balance ✨️
People complaining about the price lol. Once you install one and set it up/power it properly not many other brands can beat it. Eye opening once you hear them.
All i got to say is Sundown NightShades.
People still sleeping on the Stereo Integrity SQL 12 Series 2... 😅
What’s up with them I just looked them up and the specs got me thinking I want something sq that’s really good with low end bass I don’t care for super loud higher hz
@@jessebeatty9696 I'm glad you took the time, as I'm glad I did once upon a time too. They're a godsend for SQ, and as the name suggests, can definitely get L as well. From the perspective of specs (and performance) alone, I've yet to find a sub that's as worthy for the cost as them, especially in the below 2500w RMS market. It's incredibly hard _not_ to recommend.
@@RAW_Reality they have a b stock of series 1 or should I wait for the 2 to come out
@@jessebeatty9696 That's completely up to you, and don't think you can go wrong either way. The series 2 being new, they'll sell like hotcakes, so it's a matter of if you can find them in stock. IDK, compare and contrast the differences in WinISD and determine if one model or the other is worth it to you.
Can you do a video on the Rockville Destroyers?
Was its greatnees measured on a steve meade product?
Steve Greed
I've got four gauge on my nightshade V5
Is this the v3 version?
Do you use audiocontrol epicenter by any chance ?
I had that in 98' those add another dimension to systems
Are you testing the platinumV2
How does it compare to the VXF? And the RS gold v2?
They are all good so it preference but to me it’s in another level than the vxf. But I think the x and RS Gold V2 sound very similar but I like the RS has a little more punch than the X. All are good just depends on your preference on sound characteristics.
have you ever tried a wolfram 12 Mercury it sez on specs 2000 rms 300 ounce motor 37mm xmax 1 way anyone think the xmax is really 37mm one way just wondering i have 4 of them
Ive only had 2 sundown subs and they SLAMMED. Had a 2009 Chrysler Sebring 2.7L V6. Big 4 Done 2 batteries and all 2/0 power and grounds. Had a 2k rms old school ish crossfire amp powering 2 SA Classic 12" - 750 Watts RMS subs in a big ass ported box all custom made and braced to the nines. Hit 145.0 DB even on tones. Loudest setup ive ever had by far
@@joefries365 a 2009 Sebring 2.7l lmao. 'nuff said.
@@johnnyh127 oh ya it was silver to
I have the same car 😂 its a 2 door convertible though I'm trying to get my Xv3 18 in it just been getting delayed
❤❤
So the Nightshade should sound the same but even more power....
There is now way it can out perform my sundown zv6 that guy sets down on the lows
For that much excursion and no spider gasket it's a no from me!
That is a b2 rage i see in the background!!!!❤
Yep that’s next weekend’s video!
@@HiFiVector Thank you so much
Shilling pretty hard aye?.
Couldnt bother to watch the video aye?
It's all subjective folks don't get your panties in a bunch LOL
These subs need to be in a box tuned to 28hz
Anybody: I want a 1 ohm load to my amp using 2 subs. Do I need dual 2 or dual 4.
2 dual 4 ohm subs will final at 1 ohm
@@HiFiVector thanks. I will go with this answer because I've been getting both answers
700 no thanks
Lol its not the best but its good 💯
All the X is. Is a low end driver if you want lows then it works buts its so inefficient the pole gap is the size of the grand canyon which is why you need SO much power to power this sub" they can take so much power" that's because they are very inefficient
Ya... my Nsv5 12s are SUPER inefficient on my salt 8 @ .5 🤣
Re Xxx >>>Sundown X
Ummm...the x series is awesome but the zv6 is much better
Zv6 is better
Come on bro don't be at sundown sell out
I’m not dude. I got nothing ever from sundown. I paid for my sundown x subs. Fact is they are just one …..of my favorite subs. I have other favorites as well but these are definitely in my top list. You should know I am not a fanboy lol I like many brands. Even the brands that are less cool like Soundstream, Hifonics, skar. If a product is good I will say it’s good and I will like it no matter what the brand name is. But same goes for if the product sucks.if it sucks then I won’t like it no matter how cool the brand name. :)
Made in CHINA! One look at the basket..... SKAR uses the same one on certain models.
I wanna be heard from a thousand yards.. Looking for 2 15's whats the sub for that?
more like, whats the box for that...
2 sundown u series 15s for $700... 6.5 cubic fet net.. 104 sq inches of port area.. tuned to 32hz... on 5000 watts..
with lithium and about 320 amp alternator.. dual ofc copper 1/0 wire runs.. big 3 +2... multiple grounds...
hmmm the xv2 isnt all that great. maybe the v3 is much better. After getting the resilient sounds platinum 15's I aint lookin back
