i am looking to buy another Skar amp i currently own the LP-1000.1D but i notice the new amp is a v2 LP-1000.1Dv2 am guessing is the new version can it still be strapped ??
What reliable, but inexpensive amp would you recommend running with the V3 or rather a set of them? I am doing a full rebuild of my 2011 Silverado extended cab and the stereo system is where my budget is crunched the most. Lol. Still not sure what speaker to run in the doors either.
Im treating myself to one of these and an amp from your store for my birthday which will be soon! I just purchased a kicker comp 1ohm sub and a 250w amp for my car but my heart craves for this now! Love your store!
so I was planning on putting either 2 v2's in my 05 lexus es330 or 1 v3, any recommendations? do you think 1 v3 in a custom ported box with a 1000w SA amp would be enough? or go with the 2 v2's with a 1000w SA amp. My es330 only has a fold down center console in the back from the trunk.

sundown made the v3 better, the company is always improving products why would the v2 perform as good as the v3? i'm sure they tested the v3 to out perform the v2, the extra power capability for the v3 is the clear decider of the better sub.
Wow!!!!!!!! Definitely love it, I'm from South Africa and I really looking for a sponsor with any international sound system to put in my car please down4sound u guys are the best
Better yet. I have a 2001 Acura MDX. I'm running 4 X-8 V.3's on a 250A alternator, 2 RO-4500 1D Skar Audio amplifiers, a dry cell battery and a Gravity 800A Car Audio Battery Stiffening Power Capacitor. What a sound!
Shid I got 2 ZV12’s and they hit so hard broke my sunroof!! All the flexing got the best of it lol!! Sundowns are expensive but if you can afford them hey you want be disappointed I promise you!! If you trying to bang on a budget look at Scar Audio Sundown make those as well..
Ralph W. Thornton my sa-8 v2 walked all over my dads 8w7 in ported boxes made for the subs. The x8 v3 is built even beefier so i bet it’s not even close.
I dont know, but we own a 8w7 and even after 5 years it still sounds the same. So it's kinda hard to beat that. There 8w7 sounds like 2 10" or 1 12". Not to mention the 13w7, bc that is a tru beast, own 1 of them also, and it still hits hard after its 5 years also
Love the videos. Are there any shops in the Las Vegas area that sell these Sun Down speakers? I work to damn much and don't have the time to install myself.
Why is the x-8.v3 only rated for 800 watts? The x-10 is rated at 1500 watts. Its supposed to be a "bigger & badder" sub. The rated Power handling drops by almost half. Hmm...
Wade Ryun that's alot of $- however thats not a bad price from a company like sundown i honestly expected more- but this is actually affordable...most people nowadays are running 2k rms but for those running MORE -or still building an even bigger system - 1 of these will help you get by & learn & experience what you need to learn in car audio -before you go hooking up that $3k or $5k system - start off with a high quality budget friendly micro BASShead system like 1 of these and a affordable amp -learn how to build your own box & tune with this little guy so you dont have a accident with your more expensive equipment!
Some guy wants to trade me a couple 15s with supposedly x8 motors...for my mojo shp15...Is that even an upgrade? Im guessing they were sa series. The motors only have the one hole at the bottom, anybody?
Diamond Audio D3 1000.1, Infinity Reference 1211a, Crescedo bc2000d or Sundown SAE-1500d. The Diamond Audio is also a very under rated amplifier and 1 ohm stable.
I'm a Lil bitter since I bought the v2 then 2 days later the v3 came out, but it's ok... I'm happy with the v2 PLUS I don't ever want to take apart my backseat to replace again... That was a nightmare lol
i just got a v2 in a trade, what are you using to power yours? im fuckin up somewhere cause this sub isnt hitting for shit lol i got a single sub dual 2ohm voice coil running off a 1200rms mono amp skar audio brand amp
@@boogazincorporated rockford fosgate power 800.2 @4ohms briged... Sounds good for an 8 inch I was expecting alot more but I get it since it's in the factory mounting position... the trunk is the box.. the sub got crazy flex
I have two sa-8 on 2,000 rms, and they handle the extra wattage no problem. Are the “underrated”? Also, would you consider selling Digital Design? Nobody is selling that online!
woaw 2000W per sub, & they're takin it with no problem! I think I might get have to order 1, to add to my 7K watts rms system.. anyone happen know if my 250amp alt will be able to hand that or will I need to upgrade? already have a LTO battery bank & 500 farad capacitor bank, any input would be much appreciated
Holy shiznit that was some badass flexing i thought i was at a bodybuilding competition JK but it was crazy awesome i never seen Subs handle so much power and still sound amazing $300 is a bomb deal for those subs worth every penny there's something about the X SERIES that i really love i can't explain it but i think im gonna try and get every size from the 6,5 all the way up to the 18s ok enough of me rambling on great video JP as always thanks for taking the time out of ur busy schedule to make that for ur fellow BASSHEAD BROTHERS 💯%👍🏼👍🏼✌🏼💪🏼🔈💪🏼🔉💪🏼🔊
I think you should have put them in a box so you can actually see what they can do. Ooh let's watch them move back and forth without making any sound. Yeah now i totally want to go and get some..
Dark Audio dki but I don't know if they make a 8 inch sub I got 1 Dark Audio dki 15 & it's a monster sounds like I got King Kong beatin all around in my suv lol.
Picked my 2 up yesterday the 5th....don’t know how he did it but I will be damned if he didn’t make it louder...the response is quick and they start and stop on a dime...I personally seen a single X8v3 take a Rockford 1500bdcp @ 35hz for over 2 minutes free air....that’s 1900rms! That is why, among other improvements, they command $280. If can’t afford to pay don’t expect to play...and I wish a mutha fucka would roll up on me with 2 Skar or 2 Soundqubed 8’s.....no damn contest....period.
Trying to build a system for my wife Nissan Armada, dont know too much about subs. The Skars are pretty cheap are they no good or is the sundown just better? I dont need anything too crazy shes not trying to win a SPL competition or anything
THE SUNDOWN AUDIO X8V3 IS A BEAST! WHAT DO YOU THINK??
Love it JP. I need 4 to replace my 2 15s
i am looking to buy another Skar amp i currently own the LP-1000.1D but i notice the new amp is a v2 LP-1000.1Dv2 am guessing is the new version can it still be strapped ??
THELIFEOFPRICE You are absolutely ruthless on those 8" sub J.P
THELIFEOFPRICE I bought a x8 v2 from you like a year or so ago. Videos on my channel. Very happy.!
THELIFEOFPRICE that's what's up man it's like Christmas all over again I hope you get a lot of sales keep it up bro
Got my v3 about two weeks ago. It sounds amazing. You can absolutely hear the difference. Haven't spiced up the juice yet!
Is the v2 punchier?
@@eldergoose4075 no
Just got my set yesterday waited 4 months for these bad boys Justin stalled not even 24 hours in the truck can't wait to crank these bad boys
I was going thru some of your vids.. those 8s are bonkers man.. they hit harder than my 12s lol 2 thumbs. Up bro!!

Taramp 3k, cheaper amp but good quality, had 2 15s on one so you should be fine
Just purchased 4 of these bad boys with a Salt-4 😁 it's actually my very first ever sound system.
Perfect setup imo!
@@THELIFEOFPRICE Appreciate it man!
Absolutely INSANE! I literally just bought one from you tonight in a dual 2 ohm. Going to run it on a D'Amore Engineering E1000.1 Clean D Amp 😁👊
Just ordered my x8s from you this morning. Cant wait to see these beasts on my doorstep.
What's the max wattage of X8 V3 750rms
Im treating myself to one of these and an amp from your store for my birthday which will be soon! I just purchased a kicker comp 1ohm sub and a 250w amp for my car but my heart craves for this now! Love your store!
Insanely a beast and thanks to you I own 2 pair!! Down4sound is my #1 car audio!💪🏾
so I was planning on putting either 2 v2's in my 05 lexus es330 or 1 v3, any recommendations? do you think 1 v3 in a custom ported box with a 1000w SA amp would be enough? or go with the 2 v2's with a 1000w SA amp. My es330 only has a fold down center console in the back from the trunk.
I would think either would be great.. I've got 1 v2 d2 In a trail blazer. Ct sounds t1500.1d wired to 1 ohm.
I've never heard 8" subs in person as I've always ran 12, 15 or 18". Am I missing out here?
Anywhere I call find the ts parameters for the x-8 v3? I need to know the SD and XMax specs for a custom box I'm designing. Mahalo
Can you fit four under the seat in your truck? If so I need those for my work truck. Like yesterday
That's my plan for these too....
i am looking to buy another Skar amp i currently own the LP-1000.1D but i notice the new amp is a v2 LP-1000.1Dv2 am guessing is the new version can it still be strapped ??
Are these better than memphis mini mojo 8s?
I would like to see the v2 vs v3 on there specific box. It would be a good test. It will help people diced on what to buy thanks
Yeah that's true
curtis thomas
Yea some times more power and money not always is better.
@@lfernandez9194 yeah for real will just love to see how it goes
I wanna know which is puncher and better for rock in a .75cuft box at 800w
sundown made the v3 better, the company is always improving products why would the v2 perform as good as the v3? i'm sure they tested the v3 to out perform the v2, the extra power capability for the v3 is the clear decider of the better sub.
Early 90's all you really needed was some eights with a powerful amp and small ground

I got two for my work truck and holy moly !!!! Back window is flexXxin hard
Where can I get a box like the truck this demonstration was done in?
Got 2 sa8v3 in car now..got 2 x8v3 having custom box built for them
Got tracking on mine! Come on FedEx I'm ready!
Which one is better for sealed application?
V2 or
V3?
Who made that song downtown? I have 4 of those X-8 V.3's on 2 Skar Audio RP-4500.1D. I'm looking for that song that you played.
Better yet. I have a 2001 Acura MDX. I'm running 4 X-8 V.3's on a 250A alternator, 2 RO-4500 1D Skar Audio amplifiers, a dry cell battery and a Gravity 800A Car Audio Battery Stiffening Power Capacitor. What a sound!
Are those speakers better than kicker punch or jl or jbl or pioneer
Would four of these fit under the seat of the work truck? I’m contemplating a build
Looks like the basket might break there kinda thin at the top.
Hey JP are the specs as far as box size the same as the v2 curious might upgrade to these
How would this subwoofer compare to the b2 xm 8inch
Shid I got 2 ZV12’s and they hit so hard broke my sunroof!! All the flexing got the best of it lol!! Sundowns are expensive but if you can afford them hey you want be disappointed I promise you!! If you trying to bang on a budget look at Scar Audio Sundown make those as well..
Damn the speakers...That warehouse is a Fortnites dream. I could easily get +300 Wood and Steel!
haha right!
My vote for best comment.
which one do you recommend
I need 3 of these for my Accord on my 2200d. Wonder if they'll sound good in a sealed enclosure?
These subs are made to move..xmass sealed wouldn't be a good application
Don’t run Sundowns at an ODD number they don’t perform well at all if you need more power them go up in Spec!
How do you know the cone is more efficient is that just what they told you?
tdsa23 did not say come sed surround
How would these compared to the JL Audio W7 8" ?
Ralph W. Thornton my sa-8 v2 walked all over my dads 8w7 in ported boxes made for the subs. The x8 v3 is built even beefier so i bet it’s not even close.
I dont know, but we own a 8w7 and even after 5 years it still sounds the same.
So it's kinda hard to beat that. There 8w7 sounds like 2 10" or 1 12".
Not to mention the 13w7, bc that is a tru beast, own 1 of them also, and it still hits hard after its 5 years also
Why don’t you do a blow through on your work truck ?🤨
Love the videos. Are there any shops in the Las Vegas area that sell these Sun Down speakers? I work to damn much and don't have the time to install myself.
Have you ever watched any of his vids? He is based out of Vegas
Need to get one of these as soon as possible.. Unless they're coming out with a v4 soon.. are they? lol
Why is the x-8.v3 only rated for 800 watts? The x-10 is rated at 1500 watts. Its supposed to be a "bigger & badder" sub. The rated Power handling drops by almost half. Hmm...
If sundown just wasn’t so expensive. That’s why I stick with the Skar Audio DNR.
Spend the money brother. Customer service is the bomb! Just like the products.
mrtoabal not worth it for something low wattage and the size. Much better options out there for the offering
What do you suggest in at or above this price point? Jl is not an option for me either.
I've got both skar vxf 15's and zv5 15's and the Skars are way more speaker for the money. Either way you'll be happy.
I would go with a sundown U12 in a sealed box for around 140 db of tight punchy bass.
They look good but $300 is more than my broke ass can afford
Specially for an 8

What amp should i get for 2 15s q power each is 2000 watt peak 1100 rms. Im thinking of the rockville 8000 watt amp for $230
This amp dont do 8000 watts look up its dino on here
Trow all that shit away 😂 get some real subs and amps
WOW! That's impressive! One would just be enough for me...
Does the 12 inch can do 1200 rms?..i have a 1200/1 jl amp and its keeps blowing my jlw7
Edgar Escobar you are turning the gain too high, you are clipping the sub until death
