Best 12" Car Audio Subwoofer $199 or less JL Audio, Rockford Punch, Kicker, Alpine, Memphis, Sundown

In this video we demo and review six 12" subwoofers for $199 or less. JL Audio 12W0v3-4, Rockford Fosgate P2D4-12, Kicker COmpR 43CWR124, Memphis PRX1224, Alpine S-series S-W12D4, Sundown E-Series Ev.4. But..what is the best 12” car audio sub woofer under $200?? Let’s find out...

Do high end stuff, why always low end. To everyone that reads this by no means am I putting anyone down or their builds I am just curious of other level products

[@arizonaf2503]

American Bass XR 12 1,250 rms can be had for under $200 is a better option vs those cellar dwellers you guy's are pushing.

[@cichrift9065]

None of these are great speakers for the money, your buying the name we all know this and there are new names in the game and they are much better.

[@rangerryda8218]

Alpine all day. Smallest boxes and unquestionable build quality.

[@egm092478]

Every time they do a video like this I just laugh at what this people think is good.

[@carlitot5388]

A great subwoofer is only good as the box !!!!! !!!! Hands down 💯Don’t matter how much you spend!!!!!!!!!!! Kicker hands down for me 😉👍🏽

I own sundown x12's I was hoping they pulled it off 🔈🔉🔊🔊

I run 2x JL 12W0v3-4 12" subwoofers in my SQ build. Reaaaaally clean sounding subs and comes from a brand known for high end sound quality.

[@RandomViewer99]

Do you think the order would change at all if you had tested the subs in a sealed enclosure?

[@chubbswrld231]

Yo Mike I have a 2015 Nissan Altima and my sound went out i I’m looking to replace my front door speakers. can you recommend me one speaker that you think would go best. I have a aftermarket radio no amp. 🙏🏽

[@bellajay713]

I never in my life heard that the sundown e series isn't recommended for sealed boxes. I learn something new every day.

[@danielmoreno9753]

Thank you very much for this good unbiased review with the sound testing also, very complete. Has found out that Kicker is not that popular, but wonder why...

[@bigdaddychud]

Would love a 10 inch comp as well.

[@JAHblu.Rasta.Far.I]

Im running two wov3 an on kicker at 1.33 ohms since 2012 on fosgate 700s. I'm impressed

[@user-hf4eh2ts3q]

I had 3 jl wo-v3's in a 5.25cu ft ported box(port was 10w x 4h x 16.5 deep) below center woofer in a 06 nissan maxima hooked to an Orion 225 HCCA and it was pretty loud for that little amp. I also used the sub channel of my XTANT X603 on them too and both amps sounded about equal. The Orion seemed to have a little more punch to it though. Box parameters were given to me by Carlos Chavez at JL Audio tech support.

[@Balancinglife]

Thank you reviewing how they sound

[@kiethj7]

I was about to go buy that JL sub and then decdito watch this video. Looks like im still searching for a decent sub

[@MetalAnimeGuy]

So how would any of them compare to a nvx vcw? Or a dayton ultimax?

[@jpfarris33]

You can get that JL in a JL Audio tuned box for $299.00 and it sounds spectacular! I've had 2 of them with a slash 500/1 and a 1 of them with a RF punch 500/1 and both sound great. I think the JL Audio is a best bet with the factory box. I have a 10" and now they're in 2 cars and both have more bass than I can handle (I like to hear the music) so I go JL and you should too you won't be disappointed.

[@DrayWillis]

I have a 2021 Tundra with a 4.2 ft cubic box, ported for dual 12's. I've done a ton of research and pretty much narrowed down my choice to 2 woofers that you've featured here on the channel and wanted your opinion.
