This is a great idea. This could get more new bassheads into the mix. Car audio is expensive, so teaching people how to bump on a budget is a good thing for the community
For the price that he paid he could of gotten into the 140s
For shore. And one thing all us know is it never really ends.. once you know you love it, forever upgrades
Yeah, bumping on a budget is not going to Walmart. So many online places to go for way better gear and prices.
Yep no doubt. The point is that.when you're new to the game you don't know where to pick up gear. But there's a Walmart in every town. Like MK said it's never really over. If this is the gateway to get people in I say the more the merrier 👍
Not really good fr the neighborhood community lol
It’s always fun to play with the budget gear. We can’t always assume people are going to spend thousands on their systems. Great vid 🤙
Thank you Big D!
Let's be honest that single subwoofer gets louder than I usually listen to music in the car, so unless I'm trying to show it off or just see how much bass I can make, I may as well save the space.
500 is expensive for me lol 15 years ago I had 2400$ into it but times change

You can waste your money on cheap low efficiency crap subs and amps or you can spend some real money for high efficiency subs and amps and get what you really wanted in the first place. I highly recommend mmat audio subs like the mmat monster 12 or the mmat juggernaut 12 with mmat amp just for starters. Expect to spend $2600 $3200 for high end gear.
I like this. This is what almost every kid getting into audio during there first year of driving is looking for. You have done an excellent job hitting all types of builds throughout the years of your videos.
Me
lol
I bought three Walmart pioneer 12’s used for $70 total. Built a nice bandpass box for the bed of my truck, ported through back window, played low and loud with 400 watts to each sub and nobody believed me they were cheap subs until they saw them. I’ve moved on to a nicer build but a cheap setup can jam when done right. Thanks for the video!
m
Right different style enclosure can add a lot
Ok I wanna see this 😅😂😂
@@porterdallenbach1639 it’s facts, ur obviously new, it’s ab the setup and tune
Just my amp is $1,500
Hell yes , love the power acoustic gothic series , got 4 on a taramps 3k 1 ohm
Back in the day when radio shack was a thing my buddy use to buy their amps and surprisingly they really weren't that bad.
Nice!!
Built by Tandy with pioneer I still run em for my highs
Clarion built quite a few of those amps as well for Radio Shack. I constantly look on eBay for those amps just because they are quality amps.
Back in the mid nineties I bought a Radio Shack 18" subwoofer on clearance for 15 bucks
We used to do this similar thing and Best Buy set ups as well that’s their cheapest and we were amazed at how some of them sounded for little to no money
It's all in the box. I got a used comp R 12 and have it in a nice big 30hz ported box. That shit rumbles and it's smooth too. You can still feel the bass from like 50 feet away from my car, I can't even imagine how far you can hear it
@@imthemistermaster I've tried to find a single 12" 30Hz box but I can't find one anywhere around here that isn't tiny 😔
@@jacobwebb8818 just make it? I made mine. 3/4 of a sheet of 5/8 plywood, some screws and a lot of glue is all it takes
@@imthemistermaster I don't have the resources and tools to make one, and even if I did I wouldn't have the space or ability to work on it in my current situation.i would have to go with a premade or prefabbed at the least
I have installed this same set up in countless builds they never came back as. Failed so good for you to give them some air time on your chanel.thia is what ENTRY LEVEL AT ITS BEST IS!!!!!!
Fun to watch these down to earth builds!
This amp is a true sleeper had it on 15” 3 solo barics and it held its own. Never got hot at all‼️‼️‼️
Great job Parker!! In today's world of high ass prices, it helps to see videos like this for people that have a hard time affording the better or best equipment. People can hate all they want on the cheaper stuff, but what they need to remember is not everybody has the cash or credit. I think you're doing a great job showing people this content! Bass on brother!!
Those power acoustic amps are actually decent amps at their true rms rating. I have been running the soundstream version of this amp, the pn1.650d, for 4 years. They are very reliable and are actually Korean made.
Man I had one pushing a Rockford fosgate t0 and 1ohm fuckin slammed few years back I had one on two p3s slammed hard af also been wanting to test it on a 1500 watt rms sub it says at 1ohm it pumps 2500 watts and i believe it gives something close
I had one of these same amps and it kept going into protection mode when I upgraded to a 15” they are garbo
@@Pdog. they are not intended for large subs. You overloaded it.
@@Pdog. All depends what kinda 15 it was I had one on a 15 inch p3 ran just fine. it would go into protect mode with my t0 I just had to fine tune it tho then it was perfect
The Razor amp has been dyno tested and proven to do it's rated RMS power..It's a great amp for the money.
Yeah like I said I’ve seen a bunch of people with them and they put out decent power and last for ever
@@ParkerTheBasshead check out Williston audio on youtube..he's dynoed 100s of amps with some surprising results on some very low dollar amps.
Rockville is a budget gem for low dollar amps.👍
@@ParkerTheBasshead no Parker not decent power they do there rated rms power there's a diffrence. Say wats facts you'll confuse people.
Worst part is alot of people talk so much crap about these kinda budget builds and it discourages people from getting into bass glad you showed what could be done on a budget
I am running 4 of the gothic 12s in a custom box and one of the little razor amps in my 2012 fusion, they really surprised me .
Keep the budget builds alive!!
Man that amp only dyno 700 get three more for the win win
Good stuff!! 👍👍
I like this series concept. Ground level system building.
Thanks man it’s been a fun series!
Great job Parker, Not many people buy low end and upload the build to show the outcome. Keep up the great content
Thanks man! Should be a fun series
Those Gothic’s are phenomenal for the price, and in general, in my opinion. I own two in a Q-Bomb 12VL and it’s hitting over a 140 in the back seat of my civic. Can’t wait to see part Two!
Great amp and great subs. Been using these for a while. For the price I am pleased with the results.
I think all of us started out bumping cheap subs in our 1st shitbox car 😎 this is the gateway into car audio for so many kids. More of this type of content would encourage the next generation to get into the hobby.
CT sounds has great subs at decent pricing as well. I have 2 10 inch ct sound subs with the 2500 power accousik amp in a 2010 edge and I've gotten ALOT of complements on how good they sound....
My man Parker is the real deal and yes you can. I have heard some crazy budget stuff. I will never forget my Box guy taking 2 12 SPL subs from the M and M Warehouse putting them in a box he made a small 4th order, taking a Pyle chopper series amp it was pretty big in size. Put that in my boys Mazda 626 and that thing would beat the block down. It was crazy couldn't believe it and nothing ever blew or burned up and that's when I found out it was all in the way you put it together proper gains and this was around about 2009. I told someone this and he wouldn't believe me lm a grown ass man no reason to lie
Man I love your videos so much. You do a great job and your content is great!
People like you are the reason I can do what I do Wes!!
I have 2 of those 12 inch gothics in a prefab bandpass box. With a RPA16 Rockville dj amp hooked in stereo. I would like to see the spl on that set up. Hurt my chest sitting in front of it. I know walmart stuff is easy to laugh at, but I think the gothics can bump hard with right box and power. Love your videos! Keep bassin!
I got 2 in a custom box tuned to 28hz and wow it's crazy
I have that same amp powering 2 Skar SDR 15's. Rattles everything in the house including my teeth.
Those gothic 12s looks like a generic subwoofers and i have two of these and two of sony , even thought sony 12s have lesser RMS rating but they have good sensitivity which makes up for everything , if these gothic had some good sensitivity coils , things would have been much better
@@nearchd504 I suppose the look of a sub is in eye of the beholder. The gothics do have a decent sized motor and you do have to run higher wattage to them for them to shine. I bet the Sonys have stellar sound quality.
@@skeletanger how many cubes is your box?
These are the power acoustic Gothic subs I was talking about last year I think two of them in that skar audio box with an amp for each sub wire to 1 ohm each is going to surprise everyone I can't wait to see what these actually do you have the meters to test everything properly I can't wait to see the results stay up and stay Bassin my brother 🔊🔊🤙🏼
#sleepers
That amp is actually pretty good
Yeah man hasn’t let me down yet
Bass Technology has come a long way since my younger days in the late 80's early 90's.. i still remember the awesome sound of my original kicker solobarics
Cool video man these 12s actually do hit pretty good on a better amp I'll stick with my pawnshop p3s at same cost
Bro that little amp is a beast! I have it on 2 12inch audiopipes 2stacks and it pushes them pretty good.
For what it is it definitely does good!
I had the same setup a couple years ago. It didn't sound very good but it definitely hits and actually got pretty windy. I got the sub for $20 and my boss gave me the wire out of a used car so I only had about $150 in it with the box materials
YOU AND BASS KITTY MADEY WIFE A BASS HEAD. We started watching about a year ago when I started a small build. I hadn't put anything together since the 90s as a kid. So now because of you and BASS KITTY. She's building her own. Can't wait to see what she does. So this morning we saw the ct sounds giveaway and she's thinking it's a start if she wins. She's got the sub and waiting for dockets. Thanks for the videos bro. Inspired...
Love this build idea!! You've got to do more of these like Amazon, eBay, Wish? Thank you for the videos 👍👍 How weird can you get with a build? 🤔😆
Yeah good idea!! Wish would be interesting
@@ParkerTheBasshead So basically stock alternator with cheap amps.
I don't know how much further you can push it.
Wish won't begin to send you a decent amp if they can send fake flash drives that don't match the descriptions.
These videos make me so happy
Excited to see this build come together. Are you planning on doing any electrical system upgrades? What about a rear seat delete? Keep up the good work!
Alternator is on the way and yes rear seats are coming out soon!
I've used power acoustik mofo subs in different iterations since 2008. Probably better value for $ now but back in the day $99 for a sub that took a real 1000 watts was pretty good. Oh the good old days. Had a pioneer premier deh-690ub deck with the old OEL display original pioneer impp speakers and 2 old school fasgate power 800a2's. Still have multiple, 10+ of those series amps as well as many hx2's, he2's and power dvc's. Miss those days but your channel has brought back my enthusiasm!!! Thank you.
By the way my favorite amp ever and many people forgot about them is still the Sony Mobile ES xm-7557 5 channel amp that's like 3 feet long.
For around $400 I got 2 AudioPipe txx-bdc1 12s, Skar 1200.1D amp, and the qpower sealed box all new from ebay. Running around 1200 watts at 1 ohm. It's not as loud as I was expecting but qpower also has a ported box, but I prefer the sound of sealed. If my backseats were able to be folded down it would be plenty loud
I love sealed and I have an Audiopipe BDC2 15. I made a 3 cu ft sealed for 2 months. I decided to port it at 30Hz. It sounds amazing. Louder and deeper. Build your own box. It’s not that hard. Try to find a friend that has some experience if you can. Preferably an older guy that knows woodworking. I’ve built around 10 boxes and I’m still learning to get better
I have those same subs and they work great. I had them about a year and play them on full blast all the time and they haven’t burned out they have great response. Granted Im under powering them significantly with only 1k watts while wired in series
Had one of those power acoustic amps, paired to a Machete 15. Put out pretty good power and was reliable enough to go to a second owner.
I daily this exact system and have been for 3 years now and it's been amazing
I can confirm the Amp does 1000 watts at half an ohm
My brother is running this same amp at a half ohm seem to take it pretty well but the amp does get fairly warm after a long use I ran it for awhile at 1 ohm and it took out one of my old audiobahn aw1000n's but that tells me that it does well over 1200 watts at 1 ohm
That might just tell you that you were running a crappy speaker that burned out. That plus clipping distortion making the speaker hot.
No I really know my stuff amp wasn't clipping at all and those 10s were ran on a 4k for 4 of them just fine for over 3 years
@@markhopwood1946 3 years of pounding at that level probably explains they might be due to expire from damage.
A peak of 1200 isn't going to be an issue.
Do the math I had 4 of them on a 4k so realistically I wasn't even getting 4k at just over 13v and it's 1200 peak for each 10 so 4800 for 4 of them and there was no damage to the voice coil the leads broke off
Love to see these kinda lower budget builds!!!!
Low budget, my RE audio amplifier puts out 2,500 Watts RMS and it cost me 220 dollars new, my skar evl-12 2 ohms subwoofer cost 300 dollars for 2 subwoofers.thats 520$ of insane bass. Yeah granted that my 2 side mounted fiberglass subwoofer box cost me 300 $ for materials alone and I fabricated them myself. Plus my head unit is 200 dollars. 0 gauge cable 50 bucks. re audio 4 channel amp 1200 Watts RMS $120 dollar 50 dollar epicenter and 80 dollars for Dynamat so nothing rattles. And still using stock door speakers. Damn never mind this s*** is expensive. And all this is without labor price, which I did myself.
Hey Parker pick up some Audio Legion Maximus subs, they look like little monsters at close out prices.
🔥🔥BANGER ruclips.net/video/74_CHiZqRMU/видео.html🔥🔥💯💯❤️❤️
I wanted to those subs in action too! They look like they'd pound.
F yeah dude ! Nothing better than a fun cheap Walmart edition! Love it
Very cool man! I’ve thought about doing a Walmart build video for a while myself. Had a ton of people swear to me that those gothic subs are the best super cheap subs you can get. Fun video as always
I built a walmart/bestbuy setup in a car about 12 years ago. Sony xplode combo (12 inch sub in a prefab hex shaped boomtube) on a Scosche SA300. It was perfect to add some bump to an OEM system and I ran it in every daily I've had since. It metered 114bd on the dash, and now I've finally upgraded to a Sundown Amp and Skar sub setup but that old 12 is going in my buddies trunk to mildly annoy neighbors for years to come.
I personally run a power acoustik 12 inch sub in my skar audio ported box with a alpine 800 watt mono amp and that sub hits hard for sure
This popped up on my recommended and now I'm putting together a gameplan of going to WM tomorrow and putting together a budget system for my little hatchback. Thanks! You gained a subscriber here.
I wanted to get sum stuff from Walmart back in the day Bc I was desperate but this is so awesome Bc now I can see it in action
I have this system in. My 95 Ford ranger splash. Love it
That CT amp is bad ass. I had mine clamp 2k all day with good juice. Solid amp fo sho
I’m working on a Walmart build myself for my Camry. Everything power acoustic including the head unit. Thanks for the inspiration
Another great video. I stopped it 3/4 the way through the first time so I can finish it, and start part 2. Now, on to part 2 😎
You're much appreciated brother.
Stereo stores and others all say Walmart has trash speakers that break within a week. I wouldn't be able to get deep bass from their speakers.
Love this channel glad I found it I had a locker from Walmart
Love the bass on a budget. Not everyone can afford the best equipment even those that aren’t teens just starting out
I bought 2 skar zvx 12's, didnt have a ton of money so i just bought that same cheap razor amp at walmart and installed just 1 sub..... i was blown away with how loud it gets with the single sub!! i have mine running @ 1ohm and no issues for almost a year now! the setup with this cheap amp is obnoxious! it flexes every panel on my car and even bent the trunk lid!! didnt even bother installing the 2nd sub, just going to eventually upgrade to a 1500 watt amp,, those subs are nice when used in a high tuned box!
I’m thoroughly impressed with the performance of these walmart subs
Walmart Subs rock... I've been using 2 Jensen 12's on a 750w rms Ignite amp for over a year and no fails. I hammer these things too.
The right install and DSP can really make just about anything sound decent.
Damn good subs. Had 2 in a q bomb box with a 1500 watt soundstream amp in my Mercury. Still got em just bought 2 skar 12 svr.
Dude this is going to be a great series
This is a throwback to my high school days of buying no-name brand subs and amps from the flea market.
I had 2 those subs in a metra box on a 4000 American bass amp in a Saturn ion, and I loved it
Nice fun experiment reminds me when me and my friends was 1st starting to get into car audio 35 year ago
I enjoy your videos and I'm learning more about what's good .
Glad to hear it man!
Question what do think is better Skar 12" subs or CT sound 12" subs ?
Hey Parker I have one of those amps in my truck pushing 3 2ohm DVC kicker compR ten inch subs in a single cab nissan and it hits violently hard . I've had it hook up for a year and played hard for at least 3 hours everyday and it hasn't gotten hot and has been a champ i purchased it as a joke and purposely hooked it up to 3 2 ohm dvc subs thats what like a 1\2 ohm load or something anyway i since then have sold my expensive amp and kept the one from Walmart. 💯
I have 2 that I've been thrashing on for well over a yr and no problem 😊
I see a comment involving radio shack, I actually bought a pair of 12's from there back in the late 90's-early 2000's (they may have been home stereo speakers, I can't remember), then made a cover "box" (piece of plywood cut to fit with carpeting glued on) for my girls firebird, and used an amp I got for free with another sub purchase for this because it's all I had to get her some bass without buying anything other than a wiring kit and the subs and the firebird did not have space for an actual box. I believe those subs were like 150-200 watt max, and I can't even remember what the amp was rated at, but it sounded awesome for what it was. Anyone thats owned a camaro or firebird knows the trunk was basically a platform with a little cavern that drops down. That space was what you had to lay subs over. No actual box was needed, just a cover lid with subs. The alternative would be a very expensive fiberglass or custom built enclosure for that space. So for less than $160, she ran those things for close to 10yrs with a single din CD deck that had pre-amp outputs. True budget build (especially since I provided the amp). The lid that held the subs would fall into the trunk space from time to time after hitting bumps in the road, so I cut a pair of crutches I had and used them to brace the cover lid against the back seats. Was definately cheesy, but it sounded amazing compared to the way the factory speakers alone did. We were 18 and 20 back then, we didn't care how it looked, we just wanted a little bump for all the great 2000's rap music to compliment the blacklights I put in there, and that's what we had.
Ok I'm looking forward to this series for sure!
Good to hear!!
Man I hate being up to date with the videos cuz I have to wait for the next one no catching up binges thanks for ur time and efforts to bring us this video
I got 2 gothic 12s and two gothic 1200 watt amps in my car had them about 3 years now and thay beat hard and never gave me a problem
I do appreciate your excitement in your videos! Keep me coming back to your Chanelle
Always ran my rca and alt wire on the same side and my power wire was all alone. Thats one thing I don't miss at all is hooking up stereo equipment especially for other ppl anymore.
Great video! And I see you're now at 60k subscribers so congrats!
Yessir!!! Thank you so much
Some people can't afford decent gear or are new to car audio.even low end equipment can sound ok.good video bud
Just got my car I’ve got a 12 in sub in the back the mirrors vibrate so I’m happy 😆
A couple Blaupunkt AMP4000D's (dyno @1000w/ea) and a couple Power Acoustik BAMF 15's would make a helluva Walmart setup.
I love how the Zv5 sitting there and your installing power acoustik 😁
My first (and really only) build was 2 “12 Power Acoustik Gothic subs in a box powered by a Power Acoustik 2500w amp. It slapped fairly decently for what it was
My first system was used 2 12 inch sony xplode subs with the same amp as you're using in a sealed box in a 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix
Very nice video had one of them for 3 years n bumped very nice for begginer.
I got 2 of this subs in a closed box with just 1 razor amp n they r good to be on budget 👌👌
When I was in high school I did plenty of Walmart builds they worked just fine
Great and very informative real world budget friendly build!
Awesome job on the connects that is very important
I did a fairly cheap build in my car because of how far I drive for work. I bought the $100 Jensen monoblock from Walmart and a super cheap refurb Kicker class A amp for the mids/highs. I put infinity components in the front and 2 12" pioneer middle of the road subs. All in probably about $600 not including the head unit. As a 40+ yr old I can't believe how cheap class D power is for subs.
My husband is doing a Walmart build , also.
He found your channel and it’s all he watches now, LOL 😂
This brings back memories, lol. I started out pushing 2 lightning audio 10" on a kenwood KAC-848 in a third-hand prebuilt bandpass back when I was 16. I'm 34 now and just yesterday sold my 2 sundown sa-10's and Rockford rf1000.1d that I've been bumpin' for almost 10yrs. Next build is 6 sundown U 6.5" on a Down4Sound JP33.
The amp is decent, I'm running 2 12" Renegades on it and it's been great so far
Genius!! You did that, my friend...😮
I actually used to have a single one of those 2400watt amps and subs and i gotta say it kicked ass in a single cab Silverado
This is fun. For any newcomers to car audio, be sure to check out channels like Williston Audio Labs. They do amp dyno tests so you have an idea of what you're actually getting for the price. There are many good "budget gems" in those videos. And many "budget busts" too
I’ve got bought some Scoche speakers from Walmart to replace the ones in my van they sound really good with my Sony explode 12” sub in a banpass box with a 500w Boss amp
This is absolutely great idea making a cheap excessible builds for regular Joe's with limited funds
I see that blue wrx 👀 in the background. Very nice
Lol I have done plenty of Walmart builds back in the day. With the right no how sounded awesome! Nowadays you cheap builds are Amazon. Fyi if you're going to do a cheap build it's not cheap. Lmao. I have found that to start a build you're better off doing the main speakers, adding a amp to them ( head unit swap or not ) definitely if you're retaining your factory head unit! Then do your subwoofers. Even if you go super cheap on maim upgrades the quality is so significantly better that you might decide not to go cheap on the subwoofer and amp combo. 🤣 I wish I videoed my jeep Walmart stereo back in the day! A Jensen 600 4 channel and pioneer 760 2 channel was blowing out fosgate 3000 watt systems 😆 🤣 😂. Keep up the good work bud! I enjoy watching people doing stereo systems nowadays. We used to get together with a few rides couple cases and see who's was louder for the cheapest. Now you guys are making money posting on RUclips nice😂
I'd love to see a Dayton Audio build after this, there subs are absolute monsters for the price.
I’ve personally had two of those cheap amps running in my fosgate 10s and I was shocked af but still up graded keep bassin on
That’s a sexy amp been loving the content and help with grasping all the info about building my system!
I got 1 of them subz n my car now n I have a f250 just like this 1 my dad left when he passed n I bn wanting to get it on the road n do a stereo just like this hopefully 1day I cn get it bumping like this thanks for the inspiration
been waiting on this for so long. thanks
