I'm putting a system together for the first time since 1989 . Back then subs only had 1 voice coil .....which was 4 ohm ! The amps back then were class AB . Back then I powered 2 15 inch subs with 125 watts each into 4 ohm and it worked great. The subs at the time used very large boxes with small volume ports . Today the boxes are small with large volume ports . The subs have multiple voice coils and amps are rated into 1 ohm . Videos like this help me decide which way to go in a very different world.
I started in 99. Back when power was 1 watt/ dollar for an ok amp. And always choosing the most efficient subs to marry it to. Now u can get over 10 watts/ dollar and as many Amazon subs as your ride can hold 😂
@@TCKBUBBAI have two of the evl 15s with 3000 a piece at 1 ohms for about 6 months and I run them wide open all the time with no trouble and I love them. Got them for 50 bucks a piece brand new at a yard sale😂
Gotta say my 15" Tropo i bought, used no less (though treated VERY well), has performed and endured under the most extreme of conditions, and has sounded Great the entire time!! Putting probably triple the max RMS to it at times this is without a doubt one of the best 15" subs i have ever owned!!
As someone who has experienced both Skar and CT Sounds, they each have their place. Both have the quality their price affords. I would love to see some Meso vs Zvx tests. Check out the top tier of each brand too.
I like the way the stitch looks on the CT sounds when it's hitting cuz I noticed that there's a big difference from any other speaker that I had before either
I just got a 18" Tropro duel 4 ohm, I am going to hook it up at 8 ohms and run it as a home sub. Building the box today and will let ya'll know how it sounds. :)
I'm running a 18" Tropo in my home theater and it slams! Using a JBL Cinema Sound enclosure approximately 7cf and tuned to around 25HZ. Mackie M1400i powering it 635 watts per coil @ 2 ohms I have the 2 ohm version. It is so powerful it takes your breath away. If I'm not careful I might need a new house.
I had a pair of those Skar SDR-10 for 2 years. Banging as loud as possible and never had any issues. They wanted more power. Next I'm getting the SVR-10's.
I’ve had (1) Skar 10” SDR DVC2 hooked up to a RP800 in my 20’ Honda Civic and then upgraded my amp to Down4Sounds JP8 with “Huge” power gains! I then purchased (1) of the Skar SVR 10” DVC2 in factory Skar enclosure and my new combo made one hell of a difference in power/watts and also less voltage being pulled on my new Interstate Battery (NoMoreBlinkingLightsatNight) I swapped for my factory Honda battery and as advertised the SVR sub takes a licking and keeps on ticking!#🔊❤️#Skar#10”SVR#JP8#InterstateBatteries@David Nieves Jr.
The single tinsel leads are plenty big enough for that power rating, and you proved it because the epoxy on the coil gave out before the leads did. I've rebuilt 5 Skars for different people, and the coils separated on all of them, but they only do that when they're overpowered or constantly run past clipping for long periods. So it's not Skars' fault, but they could use coils with higher temperature epoxy.
I think the comparison was excellent, but I'm totally biased toward the skar because I believe they have what beginners and intermediate basshead fans want. Affordable and sound great. CT sounds are amazing but who really are going to exceed there subs specs unless they have money to throw away. Either one would be good for me. I wouldn't be free airing them anyway. Thanks for the experiment and video. You always give us the informed choice.
I've only had the Skar EVL's until I went to Sundown. But I've seen so so many ppl blow them SDR's. I'm just over Skars lineup all together honestly🤷♂️ Skar will only get you so far.
Skar is a all around good sub. Ppl hate on it but overall it's a good sub. Not great but good. It will give you plenty of bump without breaking the bank. Are there better 🤔 yes most definitely but it's all about what the wallet can stand & what your goal 4 the bump is.
I got one sealed @1.4 cubes in my civic @1 ohm . Bout 800w out of the PA Razor 2500D. Korean made pretty solid. Its great for the price. In a 2.2 cube kerf ported box bout 30" port area, it was ripping the Honda apart. Yeah it'd be nice if it had a little more xmax handled some more power but I can't put a bigger amp in my car anyway without upgrading all my electrical. Perfect for me.
What stood out the most for me was the cleaner sound of the CT Sounds subs, especially at the lower frequencies. You can clearly hear the SDR's produce the "woofer noise" when they go below the tuning frequency of the box
@@TCKBUBBA That would be logical for a day to day use scenario, but for an apples to apples comparison, leaving the setting identical is the best way to weed out differences
I have both in 10 inch small enclosure. The skar in a box with a big opening and the CT Sound does have a hole so I drilled 2 quarter size holes in the box. The CT Sounds is 800 watts the Skar is 1200. The CT Sound has a deep heavy bass pick up but it’s not as loud as the Skar and it gets hot faster and shuts down. The skar is louder and it never gets hot but it doesn’t have the sound quality as the CT Sounds. But my box can also play a big factor too. I’m about to replace the CT Sounds with another Skar.
I’m not even gonna lie. I don’t normally listen to country, but I didn’t realize how much deep bass is in some country songs my God! It’s literally more brutal than some of the rap songs and hip-hop songs.
Ran 4 skar EVL 12 d 4s wired to 2 ohms strapped on 2 version 1 synergy wfo 3.1s. Clamped an average of 9800 to 10k daily. They sounded great in a box tuned to 31.5
@@ABArsenal I had the vxf's and zvx's. Truthfully the EVLS outplayed em across the board. The DDX'S on the sq side take the EVLS. But sql I'm all in on EVLS. That's with a box tuned at 31hz putting 2500 per woofer clean power no clip on the term lab clamped with RTA. The VXF'S were in a 4th on clean power same tests. And zvx's were ported box tuned at 32 on clean power. I've been through the skar woofers from the shallow subs across the board to VXF'S. The only subs skar had that I really wish they still had were the discontinued VVX subs and one other model before the DNRSs
I’ve never had good luck with skar. Always coke with scratchy coils or don’t last very long. CT sounds have always been better woofers for me personally.
A couple of years ago when I bought the SDR18'S the biggest factor iny decision between them & Tropos was Skars 2yr warranty vs CT's 90 day. I'm not sure if that's changed since then. My only disappointment with the SDR'S on the website it states copper VC but the shipping box said CCA. I had no issues with them and they sounded great for the price. Don't think you'd go wrong either way.
Hi so let me get this right if you buy skar subs and blow them within two years by putting too much power thru them skar will replace them for free ???
@@pauljamespace1693 all i know is if you have a problem with a bass package from scar witch comes with the proper amp for the sub they will replace it. although they wouldn’t know what amp ur running as long as you buy the bass package ur set
Ive used and installed both many times....the CT sounds are more robust in build quality and the box specs are way more favorable for box building. They do ALL seem to like higher tunings like 36-45 hz...the Skar subs need larger boxes but do have a smoother deeper tone to them. Even when you install them in the same box with the same tuning the Skar subs sound smoother whereas the CT subs will hiy harder. I have also went outside CT sounds recommendations on box size and discovered they will perform very well in a box larger than they recommend. For example i put a Strato 8" in .81cf net tuned to 38, 40,45 hertz (adjustable port)...keeping in mind the longer the port is will change to overall net CF of the box, but you get the idea. The CT sounded much smoother and refined in a larger box....two of the stratos under a truck seat with a 11.5-1.8 cf net box tuned to 38 hertz will sound awesome...40 hertz will be slightly louder in that same box. its minor but noticeable for a very critical listener....just some food for thought.
I'm praying that I can get a CT sounds set up for my 2 Gen Ram Cummins Dually tow pig work truck I'm building here .... Always majorly saving my life motivational to me..... Salute , blessings to everyone grind and motivations.....
Hey. Idea. Put a fuse on each of your speaker wires to prevent amp blow. I’m not sure the amperage. Very little I’d imagine for the A/C. Rockford fosgate has a fuse system I believe.
If you are searching for the next subs to test, I would like to see you test the Savard HiQ subs! They are not a big name brand but they have been around for decades, they have great customer service, and the owner of the company (Will Savard) has even commented on a video that I put up showing the HiQ 12” sub!
Another banger. Keep up the amazing content Parker ☺️ Oh and thank you for introducing me to black brick! I just ordered a brick house 12 for my Chevy S10 extended cab :)
I feel like this just shows how good the Skars actually are, Of course it blew 1st the other one is rated for more watts, But blowing it wasn't easy Lol.. Everything I've bought from Skar has been impressive for the price point.. They also have great customer service and warranties. You won't go wrong building a budget system with their components.. Another budget brand with amazing bang for the buck is Hyanka..
Wow bro that free air testing will damage any sub over time that was really brutal to those Sub gees great video sir please send me those speaker frame if you can

I know that skars boxes are only 5/8" thick MDF, but their Bed liner boxes are 3/4" ... Now CT front baffles are 1.25"!!! and the rest of the boxes are 3/4" and sometimes 1" thick in some areas
@@zackbalins658 you’ll be happy. I’m running an AT60 on my highs and a Team 3000.1 on 4 meso 8’s. You’ll need batteries before you need another amp 🤙🏻🤙🏻
A good one might be the taramps I see they are making 12 subs now, you can put it up against something of a similar price point. Let's see if they are any good.
Ive blown like 5 skaar SDRs. I made a recone kit if anybody is interested. I have a video on my 95 Saturn with 4 of them and two d4s amps master and slaved together for reference. I make the voice coil a half inch longer at the Winding and add a extra stiff 3 roll spider and. Mega roll cone. The recone costs me about 90 before I build it. So depending on how many you need or want would determine the final cost for the materials.
Hey great video parker! Could you make a video on the sundown sa rev3 12 or sa classic 12 vs the sundown sa v2 12? No one has done it yet and i would love to see the comparison. I have 2 sundown sav2 12s
My match. Incriminator audio Death Row 12"(1500 watts rms) vs Skar EVL or VXF 12". I think a VXF will be a closer match (1500 rms). 2k+ watts into each, see how long they can take it.
One brand i would like to see you try is audio legion gladiator or emperor series ive had them for quite awhile n ive pushed em over the max n jus cant. Blow em ao if u could could u test them out?
Legion and Skar are exact same speakers different dust cap the marketing guy for Skar started Legion and Kevin told him let it go and keep your job or keep it and your fired well long story short what stock left went to Skar warehouse got liquidated and dude kept his job! Exact same buildhouse just different dustcap
im not suprised, i been through 3 skar subs i bump almost daily the warranty process is a pain in the ass to the point its just easier to buy a new one I'm all skared out
Damn parker...you had those cones jumping.....which speaker hits harder tho...that ct sound cone shape looks like it would hit hard...but I've heard skar and that shit was incredible

I think you should do a shallow mount style subwoofer comparison
I may do one here at some point!
I may do one here at some point!
This would be cool. I just ordered a couple Skar vd12's for under the seat in my F150. If I don't like them some better options would be cool to see
Both are great
both did a great job! skar is rated for 600 watts rms ct sounds is 650 rms
Hey great video parker! Could you make a video on the sundown sa rev3 12 or sa classic 12 vs the sundown sa v2 12? No one has done it yet and i would love to see the comparison. I have 2 sundown sav2 12s
I really enjoy these sub comparison videos
I have 3 8 inch skar sdr on 1,500 Watts they sounds very good can't beat them for the money. I've had them for around a year with no issues at all.
My box is tuned too 32hz I made it myself. Doing that made the subs sound so much better and louder with less power.
I hope Skar does but don’t know yet still watching
Ct sound is a good sub
That's crazy how long the CT sounds hung in there🤔🏆🔊🔥
That was an awesome test, definitely shows that spending a few dollars more is well worth it.
Contact me.
hey bro tht was crazy as hell but funny and thts good tht ct sounds is a budget speakers and amps for folks who can afford thm thnx
My match. Incriminator audio Death Row 12"(1500 watts rms) vs Skar EVL or VXF 12". I think a VXF will be a closer match (1500 rms).
2k+ watts into each, see how long they can take it.
At this point I would take the one that has better sound quality
This ct sounds sub resembles the SVR more than the SDR
One brand i would like to see you try is audio legion gladiator or emperor series ive had them for quite awhile n ive pushed em over the max n jus cant. Blow em ao if u could could u test them out?
Sorry i ment to put gladiator or maximus series😭 not emperor
Legion and Skar are exact same speakers different dust cap the marketing guy for Skar started Legion and Kevin told him let it go and keep your job or keep it and your fired well long story short what stock left went to Skar warehouse got liquidated and dude kept his job! Exact same buildhouse just different dustcap
@@TowGoat nice to know the whole backstory on them i knew they were similar but i didnt know they were like that close to eachother
Yes there local to me owner of Skar his Previous warehouse was rented from us
DUDE!! THIS VIDEO IS FREAKING HILARIOUS AND AWESOME! I LOVE THE SCREAM WHEN THE SKAR BLEW UP!! IM ALSO EXCITED LOL PER TEXT YELLING HAHA
This gonna be a good one 👍
Yessir!!
@@ParkerTheBasshead that test was brutal but your always putting stuff to the limit haha
I just went from deaf bonce machete fight s 800 watt RMS. To CT startos. Currently breaking them in but I love them, have them on a gfx3k
Contact me #
I have a couple of sdr's 15 in my home surround sound. They sound crazy good at 600rms each
im not suprised, i been through 3 skar subs i bump almost daily the warranty process is a pain in the ass to the point its just easier to buy a new one I'm all skared out
This was awesome a subwoofer showdown 😁
I think it was old red that killed the skar. 😂 Great vid Parker!! 🤘🔊🔊🤘
Damn parker...you had those cones jumping.....which speaker hits harder tho...that ct sound cone shape looks like it would hit hard...but I've heard skar and that shit was incredible
I had some tropo xls and I beat the he'll out of them. Tried to blow them and they hung out till the car was gone but I still liked my sVrs better
Skar are good subwoofers the other subwoofer is still good it lasted pretty long time
Does anyone remember any other band seeming to have the sub $200 subwoofer range in such a choke hold like skar does?
Hey Parker
Always watched your video ever since u had 1k
U should get a custom box one day for 15s tuned to like low 30s.. I would like to see a zvx 15 get straight tortured
