My new favorite channel, I like that you try and review products that we can all afford.
Thank you!
What are the chances? I'm considering upgrading my subs and these are near the top of my list, and here's a review.
Xr15 best SQL value on market... Best $200 sub going they sound beautiful and take a lot of power, 2 D4s @1ohm take a cab45 no problem and put out violent hard bass on it.
My purple basket oz audio 12's have that same surround. Imo I believe that surround helps the accuracy. But then again I'm not about to put old school oz audio in a comparison with American bass lol the oz are only like 250w rms.
Thanks for another great review ✌️
How does these compare to the Hawks🤔
Awesome bro now get your hands on a pair of xfl 15s. They play louder and deeper man trust me
If you want to use those for metal, try sealed. My single XR12 sounds fantastic for all music in a sealed box. You'll give up some decibels but those db's come with a price, like group delay.
The only sub I've ever heard that clearly sounded better was a SVS $2300 Ultra 16...
No, I take that back, I had a Dayton 15 (Adire Tempest clone) that probably sounded better than the XR but it's hard to tell as there was a decade+ between hearing them both.
I bought 2 XR 12 American bass subs recently. Their both 4ohms. I believed I wired them to 1 ohm when I played them on my smart 3k they didn't do much. When I put my 2 Skar DDXs back in, it was big difference the DDXs killed the XR American bass subs I'm confused. Maybe something wasn't wired correctly. I will have to try this again.
Check them individually and make sure the Voice coils are good and wired correctly because the Xr's crank hard. Had to be something was off.
Still think the ddx are better?
Ok i said to send me the 12in Xr but ill be better off with this 15 XR lol😅😅Great video
Hey I'm fairly new to the channel but have noticed your preference for rock music. What's your current favorite subwoofer for keeping up with fast paced rock/metal music?
What size subs?
@@HiFiVector I've got space for 2 12s.
@@high5guys701 Well for 12's the Audio legion Gladiator and Maximus were my favorite 12's for accuracy but they are no longer available so I would say Soundstream R3 if you can run at 2 ohm or .5 ohm final.or Skar EVL 12's and you can run at 1 ohm final.
amzn.to/3nbhz4F R3's
amzn.to/3LC9jon EVL's
@@HiFiVector alright thanks for the good info! I appreciate the help.
Hmmmm,Knowing the diameter of the voice coil would be cool and maybe the spider setup,when possible.
Have you tried out the earthquake slap passive radiators? I have 3 of the 12's one for each pair of decent budget autotec 12's. I can adjust the frequency response by adding and subtracting weight to the radiator cone. And I don't get port noise
I haven’t but I would like to mess with them when I have time.
@@HiFiVector I'll post a little demo later to show you my setup.
@@HiFiVector I just recorded and post it a quick demo of my box. The whole box with the 6 12s and three passive radiator all in cost around $450
@@evilinside5984 thanks! I had it that way at first but it was a little harsh having the powered subs facing me. But that was when I had Polly fill in the box. I'll try spinning it back tomorrow 👌
@@evilinside5984 I just realized you were the one that told me to remove the poly fill 4 months ago. My next little plan for the box is adding 3 more slaps on the bottom with a 3-4inch open base. Plus I need more power. I'm only pushing around 1000rms and all 6 can easily handle 3k
In your opinion would these be good in a sealed enclosure ?
Yea the American bass xr subs work well in sealed enclosures.
One wierd thing the 10 and 12 have a bumped t yoke the 15 is flat... Wierd. When I had mine it was in 7cf tuned to , 32
You think these will rust like the previous versions, didn't look into them too much for that reason anyone know how they hold up long term??
I haven’t heard of anyone having any issues.
Damn, 2 of these or 2 vxf 15?
That’s a hard ok they both are good. But vxf has cleaner more accurate bass and will handle more power and have more excursion as it is on a little higher level than the XR. The xr will need less power to max out sound very good with smooth bass ( not punchy ) so a lot depends on how big of an amp do you want? What kind of music you listen to and what kind of bass you like. Both hit the lows very well.
I think I've decided to try a single b2 rage 15. I will run it at half ohm on my skv2 1500.1
That is a great v decision. Those b2 are incredible subs and better than the vxf or xr for sure. They are a know id the best subs I have ever heard.
👍👍👍...
Brw15 or xr 15? Which do you like better?
Brw 15 is more accurate and punchy. Xr is nice but not as musically accurate. So just depends on what you like. For me in the 15” version I like the Hifonics.
Thank you for sharing this! I have 2 of these sitting in my closet along with a Rockford Fosgate T30001BD. I’m definitely gonna hook them up and see how they sound. Should be pretty nasty.
Can the XRs and XDs models do more than rated wattage continuously? I wonder how much more they can take?
Yes they can, not sure if the absolute max number but they can take power like a champ.
@@HiFiVector American Bass is a pretty solid company. Would like to see them win some big competitions!
1500RMS? Yes. They'll eat that all day long. I have one on 2200RMS and it loves it. Been 2 months and i haven't even smelled anything. Im thinking it can take the full 3k before it warms up
It has a pretty dang stiff cone. I bet it can take 2k or more watts.
U like these or the sound stream t5 better
The T5 sound good but overall I like the Xr better
👍👀👍
How do these do sealed? I can give 1 2.5 net.
They do good sealed
Try the SSA Gcon 15
Would love too.I will keep that in mind
Nice name but sounds really familiar
I.wish these did 1500rms
They will handle 1500rms easy
Pricey for what they are.
