I ran two of the EV2's on a 2k and they took it like a champ.. never stinky besides the break in..I got them stinky once and then broke them in..for a cheap ass low power sub they are fine..
I've got 2 of these on a RF Prime 1200.1D and I love them! Now you say they failed thermally and I was hoping you would have measured the temp after it let loose so we could see roughly where the failure threshold is . . .but 135° @ 750w after 5 minutes is impressive in and of itself for a $130 sub!! Keep up the good work!! 😉
Could I run 2 of these on a 2kw amp? I modeled my box and 2 ev3 10s in WiniSD and I really love the curve. Will they take 1000w rms daily on music and sometimes rebassed music just to show off?
Now that was a good video. Lotta information but you need to tell them about what I posted a few minutes earlier. I like that you smoked it we know the maximum it will do. I like that you cut it apart to show us what it looked like after. To me this is one of your better videos. And you didn’t spend that much money. You are to talk about beginners. This is a great start for a sub for beginners. Let people know where they’re at and the price points on everything always. You seemed a lot calmer and relaxed this morning. This was one of my favorite videos so far especially the smoke. People will watch this just to see that. You will get more hits when you start tearing stuff up. Everybody wants to know what the most is it will handle.
Clearly it's not actually 950wrms otherwise it would blow... Why do people like you always say shit like this? It causes SO MUCH confusion in the audio scene.
@bailey2517 LMFAO maybe educate yourself a bit. Sundown underrates their speakers usually. Their rated RMS is "safe" power but you can increase it by a decent amount for most of their products if you know what you're doing and give it actual clean power with no clipping or distortion and tune it correctly. Not to say running a Sundown above rated power isn't going to decrease its lifespan a little bit, but they're pretty durable and if done right you can safely do it for a long time with no issues.
@@QuietWind01 bro, did you even watch the video? It blew in about 60 seconds at 1000 clamped watts. You cannot run these at 950 for any extended period of time. I'm well aware of how sundown rated their subs, that's why they are rated at 500 but can take 700 all day long, but they CANT take 950.
Are there vent holes on the top of that SMD dyno? Seems it would have venting on the top of it, i see alot of stuff on top of the dyno that would block them. Yes i got bored after a few mins. Of watching the sub lol so i started to look around. Great informational video none the less .
Yes there are air vents on top at the very back. They are not covered. Since our amp dyno is out on the shop floor in the heat I use a big fan on top of it to help keep it cool. It will still get hot on us at times. You'll see it as high as 130* in some dyno videos.
Guys can you test the k9 Rockville subwoofer see what actual rms rating it does because Rockville won’t tell you the truth but you will !!!! Every sundown is over engineered and true to rated power thank you guys for doing what you do !!!!
I had mine on 1200 watts rms at 1 ohm on the version 2 in a built to spec box & it lasted me 7 months & the reason it stopped working cuz i clipped it to death lol you can have a 300 watt rms amp but if your clipping you can still burn up the woofer even with a bigger motor guys
I have a Soundstream Rub.1 1600d Class D mono block amp at 1600 watts and it's 1 ohm stable, I see that they have the D2 and D4 of this 12 inch sub, which one should i go with to get the most power out from my amp to these subs, the Dual 4 ohms or the dual 2 ohms? Any good info from anyone at all that know's a lot about matching powers together would really appreciate it.!
1000 rms at a little over a minute is insane. But then we have to take into consideration that it got burped for somewhere around 12 mins. I’m almost sure if they burp it at 1k for 5 mins it will take it for longer then over a minute
@@oscarishandsome5150 lol that comment was 5 months ago. Skar is great, and CT sounds has good sound quality. Pioneer makes great head units. What are u on bro 😂. Name one sundown sub that's near the same price as a Skar sub, that's better. I'll wait.
@@oscarishandsome5150 I'm not paying an extra $500 for the zv6 12 just to get a better voice coil and more xmax when I could just spend like $400 on a ZVX-12 and get almost as good of performance for literally 1/3 the price

Omg I'm so sad I bought FU750v2 18s insteada SA's... Got coil rub in 10minutes on music with solid power at about 860w clamped... Can't believe I read they called them SA killers...
I have 2 12 ev2's, whats the difference between the v2's and v3's? Also was wondering if you were listening to music if that sub would have different results vs. having a constant bass tone.
i have 2 of these and i need help on how much power they can actually handle. all my electrical is stock im planning on getting another battery so i can turn up my amp for them.
Dang good stuff!! I can lie it did hurt me when it went up in smoke. I've always been a Rockford guy I currently have 2 T1 4d12s in a 4th order blowthru and just by seeing this and my buds running sundown I'm really leaning towards selling my T1s and grabbing some X12s. I'm really impressed with sundown equipment!!! Time to save some $$$, thanks guys for the behind the footage it's awesome. 🇺🇸👌👍
And if sundown is to costly witch it is for me i run skar more affordable and will take more that rated lower jus like sun downs I have 15 zvx on 1600 at 1 ohm been on my jeep jumping for a year now
Sent an email a cpl days ago, haven’t heard anything back, what would you personally recommend for two of these in spl box wise? Only running 1000 watt class in a small sedan. Tuning I can figure out, looking for cu. ft. And port sq. In. Thanks Derrick. Can’t wait to see more of project SPL.
not trying to be mean or anything, but those IR thermometers measure in a cone. they're not pinpoint accurate the laser just tells you the general area. so you got a put the hole right up on what you're trying to measure if you're trying to measure small point. if you want to measure that coil you got a cut those vents away in the basket so The IR thermometer can directly see it
now something I've always wanted to do is blow the speakers with an IR camera. ir cameras are expensive and i don't got a lot of money so I never got one
That's a really tough subject to document on video. There's just so many variables with different subwoofers. No two are exactly the same in every aspect except motor force. You'll also have different fs, mms, etc. which all will play a huge roll in testing. I can tell you that with all other variables the same the subwoofer with more motor force will be louder every time. In other instances a sub could have slightly less motor force but a lot less moving mass and be more efficient and louder. Or a sub's fs could match the peak of your vehicle better making a weaker subwoofer louder.
Was choosing between these and the sa12s, wanted these since they had a peak rating of 87db at 32hz whereas the sa12 had a peak rating of 34hz at 83db, plus they tested with a better Qts Looks like the sa's were built tougher though
#SundownAudio My first Sundown sub was an E12. Had a single 12 on 1200 watts RMS. Never had an issue. Obviously I wasn't listening to test tones. Lmfao. But on music, it didn't mind the 1200. After about a half hr of heavy listening, the dust cap was pretty warm to the touch. But that was it.
I eventually upgraded to a single SA-12 on the same amp. Similar performance. Dustcap still slightly warm after half hr. Now I'm running 2 SA-12s on 1KW each. Again, no issues other than warm dustcaps after extended play.
@@AbTekpro not much sound quality difference. The subs are very similar other than the SA Series has a larger motor and higher power handling. I would make my decision based on the amp you are using. The E-series has a 3db higher sensitivity. But the SA-series can handle more power. Thus, the SA-series can get louder if you have enough power to send them. So I would say if you have more than 750 watts RMS per sub, go with the SA-series. If you have less than 750 per sub, then go with the E-series. The E-series will be louder on low power. But as far as the quality of the sound, they're very similar. They do great with music. Even during the loudest bass note, they can still beat with the kick drum. This is where cheaper subs fail. Good luck and bass on !!
Jon Patterson that answered my question. I have the new crescendo S1 running 1ohm 1500 Watts rms. I think I’m sticking to the e’s with this amp. Can’t complain but audio is a an addicting thing lmao. Plus this system is in my work van and it already shakes my eyeballs being in a small space in the front
@@AbTekpro right on man !! Just remember that amp is rigjt about the limit for those subs. As long as gains are set correctly, the subs will hold up fine on that power. 👍
@@jamesjones4309 yea they do. I use the box designed for the sa-12 but with e12 sub and it geos pretty low. it also gets pretty loud and you can hear it from pretty far away. blown away for the price.
Anybody notice the db numbers? Firts two runs in the 146's. Lasts one emediatly in the 120's. It may not mean anything. But, Maybe that 750 watt run did more damage than he thought. Or just a different settup on the term lab. Idk.
I recommend at least our sae-1500d or our sae-2000d for a pair of E v.3 subwoofers. As long as you're not blasting test tones non stop all day they'll handle the power fine.
Yes,you’re starting to get it. When you blow it up people know what it’ll take. Don’t forget to explain clipping. That’s what kills most speakers. People don’t understand that most of the time. And you should show them how to set their game knob properly. I’ve seen it done wrong on several videos on UA-cam. So much bad information out there.
most of the times clipping is the death of most subs, and of course, improper enclosure, we had a customer who smoked his zv5 18 by putting it in an sa-15 enclosure and just increased the diameter of the mounting hole and called it a day, he smoked it after about 5 minutes of play time on a sony xplod 500 watts amp...🤦🏽♂️
He probably didn't have an infrasonic filter, either, so he made the speaker work harder than a methed out sweatshop slave two weeks before Christmas shopping season.
These are 2" coil subs aren't they? Pretty impressive for a budget line woofer. I bet you can get relatively loud with 8 or 9 of these on 10K... Hmmm, maybe??
I had mine on 1200 watts rms at 1 ohm on the version 2 in a built to spec box & it lasted me 7 months & the reason it stopped working cuz i clipped it to death lol you can have a 300 watt rms amp but if your clipping you can still burn up the woofer even with a bigger motor guys

@@ChaireS4366 yea thats to much bass for my daily driver unfortanetly most amps are rated at the 1%distortion distortion is differnet from clipping & usually somthimes you can use a 1 ohm sub on a only 2 ohm stable amp cuz when those subs are moving they are not 1 nomore they are higher

@@dantegipson for 2000 watts most likely it’s 1 ohm
i have them but i need help on deciding how much power they can handle
Yes,you’re starting to get it. When you blow it up people know what it’ll take. Don’t forget to explain clipping. That’s what kills most speakers. People don’t understand that most of the time. And you should show them how to set their game knob properly. I’ve seen it done wrong on several videos on UA-cam. So much bad information out there.
Doesn't the quick stop cool the coil?
Mabey 1 degree if that he ran it for 10 min straight that things heat soaked
This sub can take 750 watts per coil?
That's total power not per coil.
Sundown Audio unofficial but can it take 750 per coil?
most of the times clipping is the death of most subs, and of course, improper enclosure, we had a customer who smoked his zv5 18 by putting it in an sa-15 enclosure and just increased the diameter of the mounting hole and called it a day, he smoked it after about 5 minutes of play time on a sony xplod 500 watts amp...🤦🏽♂️
He probably didn't have an infrasonic filter, either, so he made the speaker work harder than a methed out sweatshop slave two weeks before Christmas shopping season.
Is it a ported box
Sealed
Yes the box is ported.
@@UnofficialAudio if it was ported why wasnt smoke coming out until you pulled sub??
These are 2" coil subs aren't they? Pretty impressive for a budget line woofer. I bet you can get relatively loud with 8 or 9 of these on 10K... Hmmm, maybe??
I think they are 2.5 inch
I'm really thinking about doing a big build with these. I guess I should order 2 12's from B-Stock to see if I like them first
@@DavidHarris-jy4pp I had these years ago B stock..they were flawless. I'm not sure why they were listed as B stock
anyone notice the decible meter went up 3DB while it was looseing up?
The mic is laying on the table loose moving around. It has nothing to do with the test.
140-147DB in the open damn subs killing it
Was box ported or seal
Sealed
The box is ported.
@@UnofficialAudio hey man. What was the tuning frequency here?
I would like to know how you know it is getting true 500 watts
Again. Term lab magnum....
That's a TermLab Magnum in the background reading real time power output from the amplifier.
is that a sealed enclosure bro?
That leak on the mounting area makes it at least a tiny bit ported... loooool
@@jeremys8360 hahaha.
Do you sell recones for all your subs
Yes we do including older discontinued subs.
this or american bass???
good job,thanks
i still think it can handle the 1000 rms lol on music easy .... great 👍🏻 badass🔥
I agree. As long as you don't blast test tones full tilt non-stop all day the E v.3 subwoofers will be fine on 1kw each.
I had mine on 1200 watts rms at 1 ohm on the version 2 in a built to spec box & it lasted me 7 months & the reason it stopped working cuz i clipped it to death lol you can have a 300 watt rms amp but if your clipping you can still burn up the woofer even with a bigger motor guys
Mo Vlogs well i can say my 2-X-15s on 4th on a scv-6000 at 1 ohm handling it for over 1 year no problems ‘ i sometimes soft clip them but not hard but this bad boys handle it like no tomorrow going for 2 nsv3s and a scv-7500 at .33 ohm load
@@ChaireS4366 yea thats to much bass for my daily driver unfortanetly most amps are rated at the 1%distortion distortion is differnet from clipping & usually somthimes you can use a 1 ohm sub on a only 2 ohm stable amp cuz when those subs are moving they are not 1 nomore they are higher
Mo Vlogs correct ‘ you have videos on ur
channel? i have some on mine daily beater
Got 2 E15s on a rockford t1000bdcp making 1600 in a 7.5 cube box by drew jones and it gets down...
inches on that voice coil?
2.5
Destructive testing is best testing
100% agree with that. I like to test things to failure. Then readjust and do it again.
Sundown subs are top of the food chain... I run Sundown and Fi in my whips. #loud
Top of the food chain, they aren't bad but my new Orion's are 7500 rms
@@jerryellis835 Orion hcca subs are great. Just can't stand the baskets. I have team Fi and zv5's
Yeah would be nice to see better looking baskets, agreed
I don't give a shit of the baskets are hot pink with unicorns on them as long as they can handle power and bang hard that's what matters
A real subwoofer test video
Honestly You can tell that’s not his first time Tearing A sub apart lol
I would like to see a sa sub video like this.👍👍👍
K Givens I would like to see the sa done like this test also
If it can handle 1000 watts continuous for that long. I bet they can handle 1500 watts of music all day. Probably like 10 to 15k burps too. 🤣🤣🤣
Do they sound good... Or are they just loud and meh?
Really good quality sound
Skar would rate this as 1000W RMS+ shamelessly.
In a ported box the cooling would have been better.
