skar is my preferred choice, they have plenty of haters but they build high quality products at a more than fair price, they are very loud and handle a ton of power
Are you really complaining about damaging an amp that isn't rated for half ohm because you're running it at half ohm, and you're actually upset about it? That's sounds like when you run a sub into clipping then get mad when it blows.... Not saying Skar does the best job with taking care of their products. I've seen a sub literally fall apart in an enclosure, but the products that they do take care of and do the right way are worth the cheaper price tag. Plus, I buy all my Skar equipment from a shop that works with Skar a lot and I haven't had any defective products and even if i did, I'd wait maybe 10 min-2 days max for a replacement from the shop depending on if the shop has a replacement in stock or not. Though I guess I have a little bit of an advantage with their HQ being literally within a half hour drive. My point is, you get what you pay for like you said so don't bitch when you buy a cheaper product and it doesn't perform like a top tier product. I damn sure don't expect my Skar equipment to do as well as a Sundown, Fi, Incriminator system when they are both rated at the same power/ power handling level for the simple fact that to get the same power/power handling from a Skar system as you would from a top tier car audio brand would have a significantly different price tag and (I'd hope) rightfully so. As I tell people, Skar is the Kicker killer when looking at a budget line of subwoofers. If you think you're getting a Sundown quality product at the price of a Skar, that's on you not the company.
I'm getting a 99 ford explorer sport with 2 of them bad boys and 2 soar rp2000 amps. One on each sub 1ohm per sub. They should do magic. Nice setup brother!💪💪💪💪💪
Hey bro get you some sticky foam to put in the cracks on the back glass and on the tag. It will stop all that rattle and make it sound so much better and clear. You can get them like were you get the sticky wall tacks for pics and stuff. But bro it will make a huge difference .
I got 2 alpine x 12s don't even come close to that and I bought them years back for 400 a piece, I see these sub's running for like 300 and there at least double of what those alpines are maybe even more.. And there sq too smh
@@tremainsmith6352 Not true, depends on the enclosure size and port tuning. A ported enclosure can play much deeper bass than a sealed and do it accurately. Most of the systems at SPL comps are tuned high between 35 to 50hz where the Mic is more sensitive giving higher numbers.
Tremain Smith Sealed enclosures are only good for playing really low, like below most music so unless you’re playing rebased music or tones it’ll sound terrible and won’t be very loud
I paid about 1600 $ for my system and it’s about half as loud plus I got twelves in mine lol but I like it for now just blew a sub so idk what ima put in next
Too many variables to give an accurate price because that all depends on what you really want. You can go cheap on a lot of things and be bangin for around $3k...or you can make it reliable and perform better for around double. You always get what you pay for, and it's better to save up and get the better things that really matter the most like (wood/real baltic Burch) and good (wire/ofc)...(power supply/batteries and alternator). Cheaper is not better, and especially because it is never cheaper having to do it twice...just save up and buy better first!!
4th will always be louder because you are isolating (all) the sound pressure forward into the cabin...anytime you have gaping and flex you are loosing sound and dbs
@@Vladimir_420 probably too late but you should get ZVXv2 15 dual 1 ohm. Get the skv2 2500d.1 it'll run 2 ZVXv2 pretty well and will push a single at 2ohms.
The bass keeps cutting off cause he is at .05 ohms and don't have the electrical to support it mine did same thing till I went to lithium and a big alternator
Tau M'howell my skar zvx 12 d1, on a skar rp 2000 blew the amp in 30 minutes at half power. Now granted I bought a refurb amp supposedly but disappointed. Giving the benefit of the doubt I ordered a new one direct from skar so let’s see what happens.
Beau Long Those RP Amos are their lower quality one and are NOT half ohm stable so DUH it’s not gonna last long 😂 (Edit) I’m assuming you wired the dual 1 ohm coils in parallel but if you did wire them in series than I would understand your complaint
Personally I would say DC is probably better for the advertised RMS power as they can probably handle a bit more then what they say but they’re a lot more expensive. That being said I own Skar products and they’re definitely good quality and they do what they say
Mason Diaz thank you very much for your feedback brother ! I really appreciate it . I ended up ordering 2 15s dc audio just because my amplifier is DC wanted to keep it DC AUDIO ALL THE WAY and see how that set up works but thanks a lot hopefully I don’t regret buying them 😅
Same basket, similar motor, totally different soft parts. I run a 12" ZVX and I love it but it's no Sundown X, that's for sure. But then again it was half the price.... so it's actually a much better deal for the money. Rated at 1500 RMS and I am clamping 2900 on mine. As long as I don't clip the shit out of it all is good. Gotten stinky a couple times when I was clipping and didnt realize it until the smell. Still going strong though.
Don't get me wrong I would get skar over say Lanzar, Boss, or Plye. But they are made the best they can be as cheap as possible. But compared to SoundCube, Sundown or even the HCCA Orions you can't compare. They use high quality material but, you gonna pay for it. If you just want some bum for 6 months or a year and plan on swithing up go with Skar if you want to build a system that will last year then buy from a company that don't take short cuts.
Skars biggest fan I've had the same 4 zvxv2 15s almost 4 years never had a issue we even put 1 on a buddy's 8k and did awesome go skar!!!
Would have loved to see more of what he was using to power is system you just blew right pass all the important stuff but hey it's your video
He said Skar rp 4500 but it’s behind this box I don’t think it was the recorders fault
He said (power) the system.. the amp doesn’t power the system.. the alternator and the batteries do that
Lolol
This vid inspired me to to make the same box for my pair of u 15s.

The American Bass PH4000 was a cheap amp rated for 1 ohm and could do .5 ohm.
Nibba might just be me being lucky but my 4 vvx 8s are 2 years old no problems. An i had vvx 15s befor that .
RP.xxxx models won't handle .5 ohm's but the Sk.xxxx model do
I seen the thumbnail and had to do a double take I thought this was my box. It looks exactly like it lol.
Where can I buy larger aeroports? 10-12 inch??

How’s that setup ?

Maybe subs have gotten better since those alpines were made, but still there's tons subs not worth their price.
Number 1 port hole's cause you 2 loose bass keep the box closed bass will be deeper and more quality 😬

You are running poor electirical, or have a bad enclosure. Those X series are the business dude.

Killer setup. Your suv looks like a gorilla is trying to escape!! Lol.. I was wondering what was the cuft for this box?
8" port
@@KingRD-jw7ge how many cuft was this box?
Eeewwwwwwww weeeeeeee!!!! Dat boi whammin!!
Who did his box I’m in Ga couldn’t hear what he said
That port is bigger than my 8" subwoofers. :P
well 8s arent that big
Good tighting on the box!👍
Sounds pretty good ☝
So what subs would you guys recommend for good spl? $400-600 price range.
FI BTL or PSI Platform 3 or 4
I have 4 evl 12's on a skar 4500 and im not impressed. I had 2 of tge evls on a skar 1000 and it hammered. I may sell the 12's and get 2 zvx 15's
What do you think would be louder fourth order wall or A custom slot ported box
4th will always be louder because you are isolating (all) the sound pressure forward into the cabin...anytime you have gaping and flex you are loosing sound and dbs
what size port
Where he get the box from or built
What song is that¿ young jeezy?
Sounds like a freaking jigsaw... 🤔
How many batteries are you running?
Should I get 1 18” or 2 15”s??? I need help ASAP
2 15s mate. What sub and amp are you getting ?
VerySpicySalsa ZVX’s and 2 RP2000.1D. So you think 2 15”s will do the job? Or 2 18”s? I’m getting them this coming Friday

How good are those zvx
What is the Bass keep turning off?
Cus .5 ohm is heating up that amp into protect mode. It's 1 ohm stable most likely.
The bass keeps cutting off cause he is at .05 ohms and don't have the electrical to support it mine did same thing till I went to lithium and a big alternator

Oscar M No problem man! I’m sure they’ll slam at least as hard as the Skars would anyway 👍
Any recommendations for sound deadener? I need some for my ceiling but not sure on the thickness I need or how many layers
Oscar I’ve never done anything with it so I don’t know lol sorry man
How many cubic feet in enclosure
song?
Are these better than the orion hcca 15?
Nooo
Lol hell no
Bro, these two subs don't even equal one hcca 15
Trust me, if you do the skars right, they'll do more than a Orion hcca subwoofer would
What's the size of the box
Box is tuned specifically for them subs and port is 8"
What size was this port?
8 inch bro
whats louder skar or sundown?
Sundown
Skar
That depends on many factors in your specific build.
Dollar vs dollar. Skar
Same thing but skar is cheaper
What song is that ?
Boss King young jeezy ft plies sexe
Cant find the song.
You challenge me. If you go up. Mounts volume to bottom@@@@@
An sk-4500?
Daniel Harrell what is the watt of the amp your running
Did the amp shut off at the end Did it clip

I got same subs and amp!!!!!
Hate Skar they got the lookand name just a crappy product.
Alpha Omega what makes them crappie. I almost bought 4 zvx for a blow through box at least i was planning on it. Zvx or sound cube
Don't get me wrong I would get skar over say Lanzar, Boss, or Plye.
But they are made the best they can be as cheap as possible.
But compared to SoundCube, Sundown or even the HCCA Orions you can't compare.
They use high quality material but, you gonna pay for it.
