I thought when you put a sub in free air, it only can take half of the advertised rms rating. In this case, 600 watts half of that 1200 watts. Therefore in an enclosure that is specifically made for that subwoofer, it should take it’s advertised rms rating.
Ya and depending on the design of the soft parts, some can take more or less power in free air. So the 50% rms is just a general guideline. The more the sub moves out the gap and frequency there of, the hotter the coil gets. Its a shitty way of testing subs as its not on an even playing field.
That would be cool if you could review a pops subwoofer. They’ve been around since the 80s. Look up pops speakers Chicago. They were all handmade in Chicago when old man pops was still alive. His son runs it now.
Careful tugging on voice coil wires ppl. Got a couple slices in my hand cause they weren’t all the way loose but unwound so I grabbed and pulled and they’re so thin it can break skin like razor wire
Love to see the Savard H.O. 15. Ds18 ZX 15. PowerBass XXL 15. Resilient Sounds Gold V2 15. Subs on the channel. Have seen little to no coverage on the first three at all. These subs have some folks interest. Thanks for another great video dude. Cant wait for the next.
I'm sure if you got another one and ran it on the 40 Hertz torture test it would probably do fine I think you messed it up by jamming 7,500 watts through it for the DB test
@@ParkerTheBassheaddid you have any input on a good power cell for under $200 I’m looking to get one instead of a capacitor this time around and would appreciate some advice thanks again Awsome videos as always
When are you going to review the Stinger series subwoofers? Really affordable and well built.. Just grabbed the 12 stinger with its prefab box waiting on it to get here 💯
I agree with that. When you bottom out the former, depending on how it damaged the end of the former, it can cause an open coil, or other issues to the wire at the end of the former.
I was thinking the same thing and next subwoofer he really needs to try a Resilient Sounds subwoofer. Parker has never once tested a Resilient Sounds subwoofer and for the money it's the best subwoofer around. I have 2 18" Resilient Sounds Platinum subwoofers and there very loud. They have a 3" aluminum flatwound 8 layer voice coil. I'm Ryan Bass For Life.
I got a pair of the H Yanka BSF 12's in a 3.5 CuFt ported box tuned to 35 HTZ. I'm pushing them with a D4S JP8 and they sound very good. Ive put them through hell and back and they still keep banging 😂
It started smoking after the last db test. I'm sure running 6-7k through a 1200 rms sub didn't have any effect on the sub before you did that torture test 🤦🏼
@@amordeweso lmmfao calm down princess. Like you just said "that are better made". There's a difference between well built subs and budget subs. Lmmfao let's talk about who the 🤡 is lmmfao. That sub is a cheap sub dummy
Look u am a fan of hyanka and their potential. The 15in I believe is 800rms but for 130 bucks it sounds great and gets down low. I am in contact with the company and have been giving them advise and changes to their subwoofers. Their new subwoofer the bsc 12 I did a video on and a few rms test and it went through 5 minutes. I have also been working with certain vega. Try their new VMAXX 15 I just did a video on that and it was great. (Don’t bottom out so badly)
As usual, great content, always interesting thank you for keeping us watching and entertained your videos are full of useful knowledge helping us know what to stay away from
I have a skar amp rp1500.1 it has blew 3 lower grade subs with it turned down and the speakers was used I want a budget friendly sub thinking about a skar 12 but I would love to see what you would recommend or anyone else here the amp seems like it wants a big sub
Nice subwoofer for the price but too bad it blew on 800rms watts. Parker get another one and don't test it with over 7000rms watts and don't bottom it first and just test 800rms watts on a 40hz test tone for 4 minutes and see if it does the same thing. I'm very curious and I think other people would love to see that. Than if it makes it 800rms try 1200rms watts.
Well, I think some brands like boss and this style sub that you tested (cheaper) they have their place for sq low power and when grouped you can have a nice sounding sq build, but if you want to move a lot of air, you know as well as I do these will not last even in groups or multiple subs setup
I love the videos bro. But it seems to me you beat the sub up good before it even had a chance at the 40hz rms test. I mean honestly who’s gonna by a $130 sub looking to do 6 to 7,000 watts burst through it. The coil was already done before the test 🤷🏾♂️. You can’t buy a Honda accord looking for hellcat power from the dealer bro. But nevertheless I love the channel and content💪🏾💪🏾. KEEP BASSIN ON 🔊🔊
Would love to see a review of the RI Audio “15 inch sub they are a huge step up from Skar the RI is a 1ohm 3inch voice coil and a 200oz magnet for only $40-50 dollars more and said to be the best budget 15! Thanks 🙏
These test are not stupid and i run a test tone when tuning my system and need to know if it can handle the rms rating or not. Love my avatar 12 btw parker thanks for that review.
I’m surprised by both of those China subs I mean for a budget system and not insane power they def are a good deal, for a little more I’d go American bass titan in 12, I have one in my daily off a sundown 1k only at 2ohms and it gets down! Keep up the great videos makes for an awesome Sunday morning my dude
I would love to see a earthquake DBXI subwoofer in these tests. I have one and it has hands down the farthest excursion on ANY subwoofer. Thanx for the content my dude
I've heard people say it's the SKAR killer I have two 12' SKARS, TWO SKAR tritium bullets and my 4 6'8s are kicker comp and I haven't had a problem out of any of it
Do a Planet Audio review. For one hundred, they sell a 15 incher. I recently put a PA 10" on 1500 watts and it slaps like a SOB. I had the sub in my shop for a year or so on low watts before putting the power to it though so it was broken it real nice.
Love the videos parker. You have helped me make many decisions on audio equipment. My personal favorite are my xfl 15s. I just got 2 sundown zv6 18s. So excited to try them out. Id like to see you try out some more 18s on the channel. Anyways, its rainy here in Asheville Nc, but i gotta get out here and finish my box for my zv6's. Keep up the awesome videos man. Between you and Big Jeff and Jacob Viral, i usually always have content to watch. Thanks guys Ps. Do you have any amp recommendations for these 2 zv6 18s? Preferably something between $500-$800 at most. My subs are dual 2 ohm subs
@traviselliottsr.4492 I actually have been looking at either 2 deaf bonce aak 4000.1 amps strapped, or 2 jp23 v2 amps strapped. Obviously the jp amps would be cheaper and no where near as big in size so maybe they would be better. I just dont know if 1 jp 23 per sub will be enough. It would be pushing the amps to their maximum. And I dont have the money for jp 43's. Lol. Maybe should go with the deaf bonce aak 4k's. Right at $1000 for 2 of them but that's 8k rms of true Korean amp power. That would definitely make these zv6 18s slam for sure.
I'd like to see a review of the new Audiocontrol subs. My coworker has a pair of AC 10's that hit but I want to know if theyre worth the high price tag.
For the money, that’s a decent sub if it sounds good. I don’t think subs are rated for free air so if it takes the rms power in a proper enclosure, then it is well engineered. Any sub that takes way more power than rated without affecting its performance makes me wonder if there was much engineering at all. On the other hand, for RUclips purposes, its fun seeing some smoke
Hey Parker. So apparently Pioneer has a new subwoofer out now boasting 1800w RMS. I would love to see you put that thing to the test! I highly doubt it will measure up to those claims. But would like to see how it performs. God bless
The sub isn't too bad, if you held it at RMS it would probably be fine. And a free air test isnt really realistic as most are never used like that. But if I were to buy a budget 15" it would be Skar or American Bass.
Unfair take on it since you bottomed it out hard on a burp and probably weakened the adhesive since the coil seperated cleanly from the bottom half of the former.
Puts more than double the rms on subs expects to handle it then “it’s not a good sub”, what a pitiful way of testing subs. I hope people aren’t testing out their equipment like this joker.
I think HiYanka is a hit or miss but from my experience I bought 2 12s and they do just fine and boxing was actually super well, but ive seen youtubers get them in super messed up boxing and what not.
Parker why is your voltage in the 13s? It should be charging at 14.4 since it's a Toyota. And it's definitely not because that sub is taking that power 😂
Those WLLDSE subs are awesome they take way more than RMS power. I have the 10" version and it still has a 3" voice coil. The H Yanka sub is no good in my opinion. better off with the WLLDSE sub.
It would be appreciated if you could test a resilient sounds gold 12. I just bought one and I can’t install it yet. I’m waiting on a box and would really love to know how well it does on your test thank you Parker.
Ya cause fi is gonna give this number nutz anything to completely half as and add more stupid to the industry as parker guesses his way through what he stays accepted as some truth or bs

There are so many brands out there these days. Most youtube guys just go after the same stuff. I love that you bring all brands to your channel..
I thought when you put a sub in free air, it only can take half of the advertised rms rating. In this case, 600 watts half of that 1200 watts. Therefore in an enclosure that is specifically made for that subwoofer, it should take it’s advertised rms rating.
Open air testing doesn't offer back pressure, the pressure needed to hold the woofer back when pushing. Your statement is 100% correct.
Ya and depending on the design of the soft parts, some can take more or less power in free air. So the 50% rms is just a general guideline. The more the sub moves out the gap and frequency there of, the hotter the coil gets. Its a shitty way of testing subs as its not on an even playing field.
Also bottoming it out hard on the burp could have weakened the adhesive since it separated on the bottom of the coil.

I agree nobody has a pops review especially the higher end subs they bang for sure.
Definitely a quality sub
My buddy had 4, 6×9 pops in his Chevy Caprice and boy you would have thought he had 2 12s but they were just 6×9 straight bangin

I want another budget sub shootout for 2024.
Or even better, bass package shootouts (sub + amp combos)
I've had 2 of them for about a year. About to get 2 more. Run them all on a smart 3k at 1 ohm. I think 750 rms will be plenty.

How is the sound
When are you going to review the Stinger series subwoofers? Really affordable and well built..
Just grabbed the 12 stinger with its prefab box waiting on it to get here 💯
I'm with ya, they came out shortly after I got the skar 12 preloaded for my woman. I wish I'd known, but I can't lie the lil sdr 12 does pretty well
The sub sound surprisingly good didn't expect that
Because it was made in the same chinese factory with sundown
I would think it bottoming out that hard had a part of the coil coming apart so quick
Idk I bottom out every single sub that I test
Lies. You dont bottom out the nicer subs you have.
I agree with that. When you bottom out the former, depending on how it damaged the end of the former, it can cause an open coil, or other issues to the wire at the end of the former.

On normal everyday music I've beat on 2 of their 12s for a while and haven't had any issues. About 750 rms on each.

It didn't blow on 800 watts. It was toast before that. it just so happens it failed at 800 watts.
It probably would have done rated power if you didn't put 7000 watts to it before
