    Great head to head comparison between the U's and the compact neos. I saw the Facebook Live video you did and there is definitely more left in the compact neos. I don't think you will have any problems hitting that 172 once the real loading wall is dialed in. Thanks for all of this awesome footage of this crazy SPL build. Tuned in for the next update.

    The difference between the 2 is like a ZR-14 Ninja will be a ahead of the Bugatti up until the Ninja tops out at its top speed and the Bugatti has another 50 mph that it can climb. The U's will match up until they can't handle power anymore and begin to deal with heat issues while the NEO's are sittin cool and comfortable with some left in the tank!

    Made up my mind, I have a space issue for spl, finding 12” subs for .75 to 1.0 cuft. So I found the SA and now the U. The bass head dilemma is I have everything for the SA, I want the U which I will have to buy everything again.. A stereo system is a hole in the car that you throw your money into..

    This is my opinion you should have the loading wall at least as long as the subs this will create more stability for the subs and enable more spl as a whole forcing more out of the subs with all due respect that’s a small loading wall I take in consideration it’s still a project in work.

    IM NEW TO THE CHANNEL... IM VERY IMPRESSED BY YOUR SUBS AND AMPS... I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU, IM DISABLED, IN SAYING THAT I HAVE A 2004 TOYOTA CAMRY ( it has the JBL SPEAKER SYSTEM THAT COMES IN THE LE MODEL FOR MIDS AND HIGHS THAT SOUNDS AWESOME), AND I DRIVE A LOT GOING TO DOCTORS APPOINTMENTS AND I LOVE TO LISTEN TO MUSIC... I LOVE ALTERNATIVE ROCK AND ROCK MUSIC, SOME COUNTRY, DEPENDING ON WHO IT IS AND some hard rock some r&b, a little bit of EVERYTHING as long as it has a good beat and great bass at some point. So my question is I have a limited budget, but I definitely want a sundown audio mono amp and either one 12, one 10 or maybe 2 10's... for the money what's maybe an entry level amp and subwoofer combo not extremely expensive that would work for my 2004 toyota camry? I have a friend who's rocking your amps and subs, his system pounds like seriously, hes got insane money invested in his system and so that's why I'm so interested in your companies product. If u can guide me in a DIRECTION in which I can at least start purchasing each piece I would definitely APPRECIATE IT... By chance does your company send out books with prices and product that u can order from and if you do, how can I get one... Thanks again so much... You have a new subscriber. Look forward to the next video...

    I was thinking... Jacob is a master mind when it comes to subwoofer building and design. He is like a mad scientist and I look up to him. He hands down makes the best Subwoofers on the planet in my opinion. And Sundown has that track record so it's prob a fact lol. But have you personally spoken to him about designing a specialty Subwoofer just for your build?? A Sub that will perform better than anything else Sundown currently makes? Like a Sub that will absolutely murder the SPL meter with your enclosure tune and the blazers cabin frequency??. It's worth a shot and if anyone can build the subs it would be Jacob and if can't nobody can.. I honestly believe you could reach a insane high score like 189 190 191 maybe. I know it's a stretch but it could be possible with the right subs.

    I'm a newb here so help me understand. 140 with 4 subs, 4 amps @ 7 watts for total of 28 watts...so my take away from this video is buy better stuff to have a louder system running at relatively low wattage? I'd like to run one sub in my truck sitting in middle of floor in front of backseat, was thinking a SA12 would get the job done. This stuff is confusing, I remember a cousin of mine had a 90 watt system back in the early '90s, about 10 speakers if I recall. Tweeters, midranges, and two 10" subs two Punch 45 amps all Rockford Fosgate stuff one amp ran the doors one amp ran the subs. This was in a Toyota truck and it could be heard coming down the block. Fast forward to now and it seems like it takes thousands of watts to get loud 🤔
