    Hi Yanka did a hell of a job with this sub. I bought a pair and was thoroughly impressed by them. I ran them for a couple weeks till I upgraded to a pair of NVX VCW's (which are magnificent) the yanks are awesome though. If they had a name that was familiar, they could easily sell for $125 to $150 without any credible complaints.

    Thanks to your video, I picked up a dual 2ohm 12" H Yanka and installed it in a slot ported box for a kicker L7. Wired it @ 4ohms to a D4S JP8 amp.. and holy crap. I had a Kicker Comp in there before and this sub blows that Kicker out of the water. Once I upgrade my power/ground and speaker wire, Im going to rewire it at 1ohm on the JP8. Cant wait to hear it.. because at 500 watts.. it has to much more to give. Mine was packaged well, however, the box was printed wrong. It said the Dual 4ohm sub was 1800w and the Dual 2ohm sub was 1600w. The manual said the opposite. Their packaging department needs up upgrade.. but hey.. if they keep putting out banger subs for cheap, idgaf about the box.

    I picked up 2 of the 10" and 12" quite awhile ago. We installed each pair in seperate vehicles with 2 local guys. They've held up very well. I ran the tsp's on both sizes, and they were off by a tad, so it's pretty accurate. Patrick Chandler (Robot Underground) did a review on the sub awhile back, and I said then
    ..it's a Def budget banger, and sounds as good or better than a P3, SDR, SA, W3 and more. It has solid build quality, and don't let the price swerve you away from giving it a try. A lot of subs...are "parts bin" type drivers. Only because it's been used for years, and works. Great video man. 👍

      @@SbassLaser you'd be more than surprised. Besides, sound quality is a subjective matter, and what may sound good to one person, may not to another. After 3 decades in audio as a whole(home, car, Soundstage/PA)I've heard great, bad and everything in between. Unfortunately, a P3 isn't that excellent of a driver. It's par, but nothing more. It isn't cutting edge technology, or much more different then it's other revisions prior to now. The last good P3 models, were made here, in the U.S years ago. Just because a driver doesn't have a quadruple inflated price tag(or more) doesn't mean it's not a good driver. This subwoofer, like most brands that start out being cost effective, will gain popularity, as well as a raise in consumer costs.

    • @marcuslinton310
      @marcuslinton310 Рік тому +3

      Subwoofers are not that subjective. They all sound the same in the grand scheme because 40hz is 40hz. Played within specs, they should all sound pretty much indistinguishable from each other. I would love to prove this by having a $1,000 challenge with 10 subs. Play them one at a time at 100 watts and let the "expert audiophile" guess which one is playing. The results would be no different then guessing. Get one wrong, I keep your $1,000, get them all right I pay you $1,000.
      The only question, these days, seems to be the obsession with pushing way more power then RMS through them. Once this occurs, that's when the quality kicks in. It becomes about which ones can handle being severely overpowered. For some reason, if they can't handle double the RMS non stop all day, people want to call them trash. I prefer to call it what it really is, the MFR sandbagging their RMS for some oddball reason. I don't know what the purpose of that is except to fool idiots in to paying way more for their subs thinking they are better quality when in reality you're just paying the true price for a 2000 RMS sub that is labeled 1000 RMS.

    It's not necessarily about power handling, but it's about efficiency in my book so 100 watts at. 90 vs 100 watts at 93 in same style box the sub rated 93 only needs half the power to reach the same spl levels let's say at 130db for instance. That's big in a db drag! When dealing with stock current charging systems. So picking a efficient amp is key as well.

      Just saying power rating don't mean a whole lot to me. I sent mtx 8100D into a hammer 10" dual 4 ohm sub rated at 250 watts. By Danny Benoit he hit a 147.7 he added one more 10 and one more amp he hit a 150.2db it was louder than his 4 amplifiers of the same type and 4 12" diamond audio in the same car. He also tried the jack hammer. The RFL, he tried several different subwoofers that year. He took home many trophies, his closest competition was someone at a USAC competition with 4 rockford fosgate 12's and 4- 1500 watt mono block amplifiers. While he had just 2 little 10s and 2 amplifiers. They were going back and forth in the db drag. Not joking. Then guess what... yup the rockford fosgate guy wasn't supposed to be in his class but in the class above him. 🤔 it's not necessarily about what you have but it's how you set it up.

    The Xmax is not an indication of how far the cone can move in total. It has more to do with how far it can move linearly within the voice coil gap. For the total amount it can move you want to look at the Xmech. That's the mechanical excursion. It can be much higher than the Xmax.

    The information available online shows the Skar RMS rating at 600 watts for the SDR 10, and the 10 inch H Yanka only rated at 500 watts RMS. Even for the 12 inch, I'm not seeing this higher power input rating for the H Yanka that you spoke of.
    The plus side to it being a parts bin driver is that readily available parts and some upgrade parts are available everywhere for rebuild.
    I think I'm going to try one of these in my truck because of this very reason.

  • @SilentShadow-ss5xp
    @SilentShadow-ss5xp Рік тому +2

    Maybe you can do a video about this but is there a reason subs have different TS parameter's when the voice coil resistance changes? I've noticed that if there's a sub that's the same but offered in lets say 1 ohm or 2 ohm that some of the specs will be different such as inductance. is this something that needs to be considered when designing a box? Or does it not matter?

    • @DIYAudioGuy
      @DIYAudioGuy  Рік тому

      That's a good question, I may need to do some research and make that video.

    • @hispls
      @hispls Рік тому

      This is because the coil itself must change to create the different DC resistance, more winds, possibly thinner wire which will mean more turns (more inductance), longer wind width (more mass), or some combination of those. There can be quite a noticeable difference in real world performance in throwing different coils in the same motor, but when you're trying to make a brand/model woofer with multiple impedance options you can generally get a dual 2 and dual 4 version to have similar enough specs that you could use them in the same box and the difference would be inaudible (less than 1dB). Whether you buy two of the subs in the video and they perform that close with the two coil options will depend on whether or not the factory made any effort to keep similar performance with the two different coil options. Either way, you can plug the specs into your favorite box modeling software and get a pretty good idea of how close different coil options on the same make/model sub will compare and they should be well within 1dB of each other all across the usable bandwidth.

    • @Turdpuncher
      @Turdpuncher Рік тому

      The guy above is right .just model a box with the different paremeters and find out. i will say that a sub with a qts in the 4s will be a little forgiving of small changes in box design vs other subs

    The foam not being as wide as skars will lean into it having a cleaner sound. This subwoofer is most likely not going to stick around with that brand as they need to find an american name brand. I would also put money on that it is coming from JLD or another company like them that offers tons of off the shelf woofers for companies with their logos. A few companies have changed builders and this could be their way of getting rid of alot of old parts by shifting them under an off name.

I thought my amp gave out so I bought a JP8 to take its place. It wasn't until I hooked up the JP8 and got no sound, till I realized the sub was dead. Checked continuity on both voice coils and neither had anything until you moved the cone up and down. The sub was 1 month out of its 2 year warranty. I messaged Skar and asked if I could buy a recone from them, they basically told me to kick rocks.

    I have a equation of probably some law I’ve not been able to read or digest, and it deals with wiring in series for speakers. I was going to wire a 3-way component set in my front doors, using in-line crossovers for the various speaker sizes. I was putting the 6” first, with bass filter, then 3.5” or 2” mid next in series using a higher frequency bass filter, and then a tweets last in series line on high pass filter. My question pertains to balanced power for each speaker set: does each speakers power handling ability dictate how much power it takes from the feed? If I feed 200 watts, will the power be absorbed equally in distribution to speakers? Or will my first speaker in series have to be not too power hungry for trailing speakers ability to get enough power? Cheers & thanks as always
