Curious on how the spl on let's kicker comp on same wattage, and how some are more efficient at lower wattage. Along with woofer size....probably best to do test with a smaller amp...at maximum rms power for smaller kicker subwoofers... same amp different types of subwoofers and sizes.... corner load them....😉
… ¡Drop that Bass! - DJ Majic Mike …
I love it!
@@walDerek, you mentioned 6.5 subs at the end of this video. Can you please test a Gately aplha… or preferably a resilient 6.5. I have a resilient. But I drive OTR. Have not had time to build box for behind the seat for my 93 Nissan D21 mini truck.
Thanks for what you do. I’m thinking of splurging for the new version 2 of Bobby’s resilient 6.5. And
And running a D’Amore Amps exclusively.
I saw the Solo X keychain and thought "Finally! A solo X that I can afford"
😂😢😮😅
😂😂😂💯💯💯
Hehehe
But the real question is do you want to sport that , I for one have a Fosgate and sundown Keychain, hats , t-shirts etc , but will never sport kicker absolute JUNK .
@acidangel111 I like Kick, I like R.Fosgate &I like Sundown. These good company's if you set up an treat you speakers right.
After seeing the price of that enclosure, I'm very glad I learned how to build them myself.
Right?
When you factor in materials ,shipping, and your time the price is very fair.
@@brianb4501Yep, mdf is expensive now. I still like to build my own, but it was super cheap before they raised wood prices.
That’s actually the cheapest retail version.. I made my own for about $80
I love GP Audio. I really wanted a 12" Undertaker but I found the company after they were no longer avaiable...
Their products are extreemely high quality, and for the price for things they offer - is a steal.
Oh man I looked at the undertaker's a while back and called GP but they didn't make them anymore I was so upset LOL
Seems like a Decent Enclosure.....
Big D... can we get a Solo X Sub Box Shoot-out ????
Take that Gately, this TruSpec and maybe one more and put that JP 23 on 'em and let's see the stats... Definitely would be very informative for us ....
I’d like to see an accurate comparison too
@rpgallagher7628 True... no favoritism...treat that $1,000.00 + box the same as the $300.00 one. I will admit, Big D is pretty straightforward and truthful when it comes to these comparisons, that's why I watch his channel. But he does know Mr. GATELY... and he may forego including Gatelys box outta respect, just incase the $300.00 box out performs the $1000+
@@yootoo567 I think he was worried about cooking the solo x they’re giving away too! Haha
That keychain is awesome!
The beat at the 4 minute mark is - Mount Rushmore big subwoofer
Wow now I love that box!! It's very loud 🔊 🤩
Built my own for about $80
“Big Subwoofer” by Mount Westmore
Most definitely 😁
Key chain is badass ‼️
I like to put the meter on the front face of the driver's headrest. It's a great way to measure what your ears will actually hear from their listening position. Placing the meter on the windshield or at the kick panel will always give you higher readings then you will hear from a driving position. I don't know why people measure in these places. Whether you're driving or at a car audio competition, no one is sticking their face up against the windshield or turning upside down and laying their head on the floor. Nobody listens to music from these locations. The metering device it's not listening to the same thing that the occupants of the vehicle are listening to. So what if it gives you a couple of extra decibels at the competition, you're not actually hearing it.
I found the most accurate representation of SPL is suspending the measuring device in the center between the two front headrests via string or some such thing. Another way to add accuracy is to break the mechanical connection between the measuring device and your vehicle. You get the lowest Peak numbers doing this, but it more closely represents what you and your passengers ears are actually hearing.
You might get 140 on the windshield, but your ears are only hearing 125. You know this is true because 140 decibels at your ears would cause immediate and catastrophic damage to your hearing. 140 decibels is rocket launch loud. Also, 140 decibels at certain frequencies has been known to kill humans. This is why American defense agencies are trying to build Sonic weapons. They are actually quite efficient at dispatching biological life-forms.
Right? I always meeter on the headrest my best was 148db at 24hz at the headrest 1 windo half down Idk how loud it was in the kick maybe 150 or close to it but i never drive with my head in the kick lol so i never was intrested in meetering in the kick lol
@@SheikhN-bible-syndrome thank you for that. For a moment there, I was worried I was the only one who thought this way.
@@SheikhN-bible-syndrome 148 at 24? Damn that's low. What are you running to put up numbers that high at such a low frequency?
It's just about consistency. If everyone meters from the same location you at least have a proper metric for comparison.
Oh wow how nice of them to send yours without damage. Mine was damaged I ordered for my wife car U 15
Amazing 😍. I was in the trade when the first solo barics where released 😌🙏🏼
Nice to see a retail enclosure that's built well. With a couple exceptions, like Gately, most of 'em I've seen leave a bit to be desired. Looks like a good option for people not wanting to build or can't due to where they live, etc.
I agree. it's way better than the gately subbox! The is just right
My Gately box was cheaper and it as well was built to spec. Personally I think it's beautiful.
No boom boom boom boom boom sticking your head into the empty enclosure? That's how I test my enclosures lol I've always loved kicker solobaric
That box is really nice!
😎👍👍
Bass, Boom, Bottom from Power Supply?!?! 🔥👍
Classic 😎
THE Name Of the song is Big Subwoofer Artists: Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, E-40, Too Short
Kicker subs don’t miss a note. Gotta love kicker ❤️❤️❤️
When I worked car audio in the early 2000s in Australia, 140db would cost you well over $4000 and a lot of know-how, or at least another $2000 in custom fab work. Considering we were making around $350/week back then that was a lot of money!
Now you can buy it off the shelf.
I've had kicker mids and tweets in my vehicle since the 90's.
They've always made really great products! 👍
The song was Big Subwoofer by: Mount Westmore
I'd LOVE to see how a pair do on 5 to 6k.
Thank you for making this video. I really enjoyed watching it!! Love every single video you make and I never miss one!!! Bass head here since 1990!
Big subwoofer by Mt westmore!
I would love for big D here to get a decent sundown X series or better , and a custom box along with an amp to match and see what it does ..... yeah theres no competition kicker is junk and not clean , the sundown will make you lose your vision and hurt to breathe .
but SPONSOR...😄
U don't need all that he tested the skar 18 in the prefab box on less power metered higher
@@tattoosbyMrIndio Kinda lame, the whole I am in compitition with MYSELF thing. LOL.. For the most part, 99% of the time a decent 12 in a tuned cab is MORE than enough to rumble these little cars these days. CHEAP?.... Less than 200 bucks... THESE DAYS so easy. When I was a kid... $$$$$$$$.... it was MONEY. Autosound was MONEY. So it's what I did for a LONG time. STILL at age 64... LOL.... NJOY what ya DO!. BDBD/2023
I usually build my own boxes but I really like that box! Very nice router work! That woofer was working hard.
Very nice enclosure! And the sub sounds great!! This sure seems like the ideal setup for a new bass head. The amount of bass they’re getting is great too!
140+ on music with one 12 is actually crazy haha
You ain't the only one who's fascinated by 6.5's. I can't get enough!
I had a JL 6 or 6.5... (can't remember, but I built it a small box and it kicked butt for a little sub.
@@volvo09 it’s amazing what they are getting those little subwoofers to do
I have a discontinued sundown x6.5 subwoofer in custom ported enclosure, wish I had 2 of em now lol
@@franciscosalinas5502 the 6.5 SAv2’s are super sick!
Song was "Mount Westmore - Big Subwoofer"
I wanted to be more impressed, but respectable none the less. It is ruined lower, but with 6x the power than what I'm comparing it to...
Gen1 S12L7 powered by a KICKER ZR240 @ 2 ohms mono in a 1.75 cf ported box tuned to 37Hz, did a 141.1 in a 94 Bravada. But meters aren't what they are today either. Great video.
Mics measure about 8dB less according to Wayne Harris, president of dBDrag
3:50 Big subwoofer by Snoop. Just played it in my car, I play the rebassed version 25-65hz very nice bandwidth test.
has snoop in it, not by snoopdog.
That song is called Big Subwoofer by Mount Westmore
Beautiful enclosure, very clean.
Big subwoofer by Mount westmore was that jam played on bench
That song is by Too Short and E40 - "Big Subwoofer"
I bet the neighbors enjoy all the testing.
85 dB at 11 Hz ambient... was the Sequoia engine running during the test? Helluva sub in a helluva box. Hope it finds a good home. PS The absence of speaker terminals could be a good thing for a DIY-er. One less hole to plug if the terminals aren't in an optimal spot. 👍
This song is called big subwoofer by mount west more ft e40 cube and snoop it is definitely a slapper for sure💪👍
Song by the beat 'MOUNT WESTMORE - Big Subwoofer' ft snoop dogg
Would love to see a budget pioneer Sony ECT head unit comparison as in what headuniit draws less amps while producing the most rms so far I've found pioneer the best choice for me off-grid as I can select rear speakers as subwoofers
currently running the l7q class 12-inch but they discontinued it so can't get a matching set definitely would love to win this
Song is Big Subwoofer by Mt. Westmore
E-40 is the artist. Up all night.
Imagine if they made a square Pup. Mount Everest would erupt and the kicker would be deemed obsolete. 🔈 ⛰️
Hello, can you do a test with a jp23 V2 and a ground shaker solo x enclosure?? I saw this package being sold in a audio shop here in California and I’m very interested
Probably better off asking the shop for a demo.
Bass, Bass, Boom, Boom, Boom, Bottom!!! 😂
Cool looking sub, but the price tag on them just isn't worth it IMO. You can spend $250 on an American Bass XFL budget sub and hit 145s with 1 12" with the same response, Or $500-600 on a Sundown and get higher while being a windy monster. each to their own, no shame is any audio gear as long as it makes you happy tbh.
That box is pretty nice though, all be it kind of costly for what it is.
You’re skipping a lot of variables in your comparison including the fact that the numbers you’re talking about are done with tones and not music.
Didn't see anything about this kicker that makes me wanna buy it.. trashman comes on Tuesday here.. great video and nice box..
I have twin 6.5 in my daily and they also play below 40 Hz
I loved some 6.5 subs!
id love to see a solo x vs a zv6 in eaches best box and see if the kicker can hold it down like i think it can. im stuck on a solo x, a zv6 or two l7s.
SOLO has nothing on a Zv6. It's more comparable to the Xv2
ty @@DarrinLintz710
Not sure what all the hype is about.
Do you guys think one solo X 12 can outperform 2 L7 12’s?
what amp would you recommend for this sub,for personal use no competition
Man that would sound so good in my explorer
Whats the smallest sealed box this would go in
The song sounds like Big Subwoofer by Mt. Westmore.
Wonder if you bump it for a month. Then do another test if it’ll run a little more or less since the subs loosend up by then 😊
Port not out enough for this one but it's nice
Why would you use screws so long that the 1st inch has no threads… 🤔
It’s all I had at the time
Williston I have a Brax NOX4B amp you should make a video and test. I'd be willing to send to you. Top of the line amp, would be a cool video.
Thank you for the box review.
The song was big subwoofer by mount Rushmore I think
Song was “CALLED” BIG SUBWOOFER by snoop dawg
I would love to win this setup it looks nice and would love 4 15s in my armada
Dis speakers and enclosures are going ta be beating the block..
Is that a JL Audio stealthbox in the Sequoia? I just put a JL Audio Stealthbox with 2 10's in my GMC Sierra powered off a Audio Control LC 1.800. I put JL components in the doors and pillars. I really need to get the Audio Control 4 channel amp to juice them up a bit more. It's super clean and sounds great, but I sure miss the boomy bass from car builds. We are looking to add a SUV to our stable. Poor wife doesn't even know what I have planned for the extra room. 😂😂😂
Yessir!
I would like to see someone take the dimensions of a beefy 6.5 inch subwoofer and scale it up to an 18 inch subwoofer or bigger. An 18 inch subwoofer with a 16 inch magnet. The voice coil would look like a giant spool of wire with more copper then what it takes to wire a 3 bedroom house
Does it go boom boom or booooom booooom?
I like the part where it goes.. BOOM..BOOM.. bu...bu.. bubu BOOOM BOOOM!!
Omg Not another kicker solo x video
appears to be MONEY in WOOFERS these days..... OH WAIT.... appears theres MONEY in BLOWING UP WOOFERS on You Tube... smoky. NOW YOU TRY!!!!....... Ka CHING!!!..... I need another woofer... BDBD/2023
Solid setup 👌
I always see kicker solo x in open spaces. How about a true test for us trunk guys with seat up ect. I have 2 Solo X with Salt 4 amp and it does not kick like those open cabin spaces
Running it in?... lol! All that's going to do is loosen it up and lower FS. Just send it, if it breaks it was always going to break.
The song was by Snoop Dogg big subwoofer
can you test 21 inch daytona karken subwoofer to see spl and movement under bass
That would be nice to add a little bass to my Tahoe.
Awesome score 👏
Rms power results like. I. Test tone video would like to seen that
Now he just confirmed that when he test a amplifier on a bench and it's rated at 3000 rms at 1ohm? On a bench? That means when you put it in a enclosure you might get 2300 rms with good voltage So I always double my power because of impedance rise keeps the amplifier cooler and you have headroom to play with?
That's AMAZING! 😮😮😮😮
Mount westmore-big subwoofer
really nice....probably take me a day to build...with carpet or vinyl upholstery....maybe about $60 for a sheet of .75 mdf...probably would rout the corners. but I am not an "spl" guy. I would have a sealed enclosure
Thanks for the contest Big D, I need a new sub. Love some small subs too, looking forwards to those 6.5's!
Mt Rushmore California
MOUNT WESTMORE- Big Subwoofer
Can't wait till they make a 8" X 🤞
Love that custom box for custom kicker subwoofer.
Box specs?? Can you share please!
Big subwoofer from E40,Ice cube and Snoop Dogg

Hey D. I'm interested in getting a custom L7 enclosure for my 72 sedan DeVille. Any idea on where I may start to find a builder
Beat: "Big Subwoofer" - Mt. Westmore (Snoop E-40 & Ice Cube)
2nd beat: Bass 305 (from Virtual Bass album) BEST BASS TEST MUSIC!!
Sounded like a E-40 Beat?
Do like i did drill 8 gauge holes in yhe box
hey I have a question on something that I can't seem to find a video on, over time my subwoofer has gotten a bit dirty, dust, hair etc. do you have any way of cleaning your subwoofer's without damaging the foam surround and cone? if so please share how and possibly even make a tutorial on this subject.
What do you guys think about this vs sundown audio 15x v2 in a 4.5 cu ft box? Ive been running a 15xv2 and it has insane lows but essentially thats all its good at , it frustrates me when for example i try to play 50 cent how we do or just a lil bit and it sounds horrendous like the sundown 15v2 is only good at playing lows, dont get me wrong i enjoj it but the music i listen to is like 40 low bass heavy and the rest is not
Big subwoofer-mount westmore
Have you experimented with different opening combos and heights? I have noticed when my windows are down in a certain way the bass hits way harder.
