The Brand speaks for itself. It’s amongst the best and I’ve had great experience, thus far . I’m planning a 4- 6.5 U series underseat in my F-150 and can’t wait to get started!
Not a speaker guy, dunno why this ended up in my recommendations, but that doesn't matter. It's always cool to see the engineering progression as a machine is tweaked and modified to perfection, overcoming limitations and squeezing every last drop of performance possible from the laws of physics.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it =) I'm curious about the algorithm as well... I also watch a ton of health, fitness, and nutrition content. Also high performance automotive stuff (gas and EV). Maybe it came from that?
The back and forth talk can be healthy. I myself am learning a lot from the exchange. It all leads to everyone stepping up anyway, at least that's what we hope for.
You won't really see the performance gain in the T/S spec - it's all in the nonlinear behavior under power. This would be show on Klippel curves. I'll eventually have these for all of our products in the future. Based on feedback so far they are very similar at lower power but shine much brighter at levels that push the limits of the v.3 suspension - which is exactly how it should be.
I saw a response to the new frame being that it’s allowing more abuse. The woofer isn’t really much better, but it is now larger and allowing it to handle more longevity and abuse. I don’t think MB’s intention was to bash this woofer or create this much backlash, for whatever that’s worth

I have the u8 powered by a 1200 watt JL HD1200 amp. Looking at upgrading to the x8 v4 very soon. Expecting a nice upgrade in bass quality from the u series.

didn't really see a size diffrence between the spiders woulda loved a better comparison like putting the new v4 spider in the old v3 frame see if it fits or the other way around or maybe show them side by side or measure them i would have loved to see that but im not the creator of this so i cant say if its bigger or smaller still amazing video love the x8's have a v3 at the moment
The jury is still out on the V2 Rampage efficiency. Remember that efficiency can be measured, and so far MB has not actually measured the power that he's put into the speakers. He says he's running way less power, but he hasn't actually measured it. He recently went from two amps to one amp and changed the gain settings so he may not realize how much power he's actually giving them. Hopefully we will get some good solid information soon.
@jacobfuller9893 friendly competition only benefits the consumers. Ive been with you since the release of the saz1500d. Currently run 2 u8s but I must admit I just ordered 2 rampage 8s only because I can't fit x's under my seats in my truck box.

Love learning with u Jake..keep it coming.
I got tired of my two x8v3 blowing . So I bought two x10v3. Big difference and zero problems
How much power did you push to them
@@chrisssruiz334 which ones. I had two x8v3's. I had 2,100 watts. Deafbonce ma 2100 Amp on those
Great work !
Significant soft part and basket upgrades. Looks like cone area gave way to larger surround. What are the performance increases spec-wise?

But how is it measured? @ 1w/1m.....or 2.83Vrms? There's a difference... and it makes a difference.

I can't find them either. Emailed sundown with no response, tried tagging people on social media, idk why they're making it so damn hard
