try and audiopipe sub and you will never go back
Great review 👍
I thought you would have used SDR 15 inch for a budget instead of the SVR.
Hyanka dual 2 is 1200 RMS
Dual 4 is 1000.
Is a ds18 zr15 in that class?
Cheap subs are our friends.
Absolutely.
I found another budget gem. It's the Gravity Audio Warzone GW15. The one with the green logo on the dust cap. Same budget and it slams!!
Honestly, these subs I love because even if they do go out by the time you buy another one you’re still saving money
The Skar controversy is real. I cant tell you how many times people opinion on my sound quality changed the moment they seen it was Skar.
There was a time Skar was well under $100 but those days are gone. I am no longer running Skar, but its not because of the hate.
I see you have a 3rd gen Ram. I got a tip for the back seat you may know. If you want the back seat to fold down so you can access the back wall, add bushings that come from shock absorbers between the bolts and the seat to lift it up a half inch. Then the backs can fold down when you lift the bottoms up half way. I like install my amps and inverters on the back wall.
My build, the left seat is permanently removed cuz that's where my fridge, and sub sit. Under the sub I have a battery. On the right side I have a battery under the seat totaling 4 batteries. Still not enough juice to run the new amp I just got. I may need to make a rack along the outer frame rail to add 2 more on either side.

@@DIYAudioGuy I pretty much did similar. I mounted everything to the back wall. I kept the passenger side seat bench, and added spacers to lift the seat bracket so it can swing both ways. Then I reused the foam but cut out for where the 2 amps went. That was how it has been since 2018. Now I am redoing it, cuz I upgraded, and everything needs more space.
Budget builds are the best. I love when people listen to my $290 tline’d 10” Recoil setup on 300 watts and can’t believe I literally spent $300 on the equipment and it blurs vision easily.
One of these subs plus this box: ua-cam.com/video/7p6syTIQkg8/v-deo.html will keep you under $300.
@@DIYAudioGuy there ya go
Were they drunk at the time, that would explain the blurred vision, because 10" 300 watts sure doesn't explain it.
@@MotoAtheistsure but a Tline enclosure with a horn enclosure does. I’ll be happy to share the video on my channel tomorrow in my Aviator
@@MotoAtheist here, I just uploaded the shorts so that you can see the entire roof buckle with one 10” on 300 watts. The person on the video is Tony Cotton, a fairly recognized name in the bass game, as he built the box and installed the equipment and even he’s shocked how it sounds.
This is how a subwoofer review is done 👏👍
💪💯🙏👍❤️
I don't even know what was reviewed.
surprised the Dayton Audio MX15-22 isn't in here
Yes!!!! Yes!!!!!
you should have done it with more frequencies, like 28hz, 30hz and 35hz, also they sure perform a lot better after you break them in..
Nice editing, homie. Like the way you put info on the screen during the test
Thank you for doing controlled measurements. That's how you do real comparisons between subs. 👍
I wish I had an anechoic chamber so I could do it right.
Sundown E series have been my favorite budget subs I've used. Got them of yardsale for 100 a piece
If it's cheaper and 'SPEAKS to me', I'll go with it. How about all three of these subs in one parallel-connected, individually-chambered box. My weekend project, someday, lol---Sealed apart 100%/ported-individually if bored by wondering, lol. Informative links! 🤩🤗Skar...AKA 'Bangin' Basket'? In a blind comparison A, B & C to an audience of 'never herda these brands before'= ''All great!!!'' Now, about the 'music' I hear in demo sessions...gag...The music in YOUR background was clever and unrelated. 🤩
Loved the disclaimer comments at beginning of the video!! 🎉🎉 haha
I prefer to build my own woofer. Those that don’t know about custom woofers maybe not very experienced in audio but think they cause they know how to buy equipment maybe even install there own equipment/make there own enclosures. Great video as always.
i have gone thru 4 sets of 10's in the past 6 months not happy with the sound, then i herd my friends JLw3's great SQ and pretty loud (big $$$ imo). i came to the conclusion that cheap kind of sux. i finally went with a set of RF p3's now i'm happy rockford has never let me down. my sundowns got real loud but compared to JL or Rockford they sound bad, loud but bad SQ. in the past 30 years i had had rockford for 25 of them
It seems like a lot of people don't care how it actually sounds. If you like tight, controlled, punchy, dynamic bass then you need an amp and a sub with those characteristics. It seems like Rockford amps alway sound good. I'm also very impressed with JBL's Stadium 12". It sounds fantastic and can play all the subtle detail in the bass. At about $200 it's quite a bit cheaper than the W3. I'd like to try out Rockfords P2, P3 and Kickers Comp C.
Fun video Justin! It's kind of amazing how close all three were SPL-wise. Wow, 135 dB is LOUD! I need to do a sub for my car, maybe not a 15, but you sure are having fun!
I did 135.4db from a Walmart gothic in a crazy box but it was absolutely on the edge, and then I blew one subwoofer big time lol melted the coils together into a single 2 ohm... It still worked hehe
I have been waiting for this video!! It really appears the 3 subs are very close but I do like that larger voice coil.
Right, which is why I placed it first. But you can't turn around for the difference.
Great job which would work best for a home application?
Follow this up with the next level down the ladder, the sub $100 15's! My $80 Audiopipe TSCVR15 (JL W3 clone sub) has been thoroughly satisfying to me. I hear good things about the plastic basket PYLE 15 as well believe it or not. Good box, power & wiring is all thats really needed.
Would love to see distortion rating along with noise at rated output, not to mention dynamic compression.
How exactly would he measure that?
What happen to the Dayton series as kill all by price
Awesome comparison as usual
Its hilarious when people think my system is crazy expensive when its just 2 15in ds18 gen-xx on a skar 1200 when it only cost me 900 bucks with a home built box
I bet it slams.
Pretty sweet video and nice work!
Have you considered doing near field testing of the subs in open air to see what their distortion is like? You may find real differences between them. Harmonic distortion, multi-tone, compression (probably not an issue), group delay and the like? Maybe the Skar is ahead in those areas?
That's definitely something I'd like to start doing.
Thanks for the upload always appreciate your info
3:04 you look evil XD
😂
Great testing indeed !
What about sound quality? Did you listen and pick a sub that you liked that sounded the best?
Budget Reviews .... anything budget starts with the cost I wish reviewers would present this in their titles🤞🏾
Problem is prices change daily. So you will have to hit the link to check the price even if I say it in the video.
Another budget banger for ya, the Harmony Audio HA-C152. It's slightly higher in price than these three, only by around $30. Not to take away from your video, because all the subs in this video seem like awesome budget subs. I was just adding in options, hope you don't mind.
Nothing wrong with having options.
Man i love this channel 🙏🔥
Great video and review, thank you for the always enjoyable infotainment.
Glad you enjoyed it
The wlldse HCY was a beast but they discontinued it. I grabbed a 12" for the budget ststem in my 95 mustang gt at $122 it showed up i looked at it for 10 min and ordered another but in a few days it took to deliver it jumped to $142 but still a great buy. They jad a sundown U frzme a 200oz motor and a 3" coil rated at 1200wrms or something. The FS was a bit high than the rating that was 32htz if i remeber right it tested out at 42htz out of the box to 38htz fully broke in. I used epoxy to embed a ring of fat plumbing solder around the perimeter of the dust cap and glued a bigger dist cap over all of it, i cant remember the weight but the dayton tester said 32htz before gluing and 31htz after and they hit the lows smoother after, before they were super punchy and playing a metal double kick drum beat your chest hard but now they play liw and higher bass great, i run the 2 on a audiopipe apcle 1800.1 at .5 ohm on headway batts and i have abused them bigtime with no issues to the point my small heatsoaked trunk has perma stink but they keep thimping.
I have 2 of the 15" hcy subs brand new dual 2 ohm sitting on my shelf. Grabbed them when they first came out for cheap. Like 140 a piece or something.
Wish you would have gotten a massive gtx.
My dual 12 skar evl box sounds best pointed towards the trunk but my dual svr box sounds best pointed to the front. Both are skar loaded enclosures
Those enclosures provide Rock solid bang for the buck.
you remember the 15 inch Pyle from early 90s? what was the rms rating on it? Friend of mine had 2 and hit 150 db in big ported box ,I like old school low rating subs challenge to build good box .
How Parker tested the sub free air the sub motor is exposed to outside of box ambient air temperature & moving more freely not being slowed down from box
@elcaminosupersport- Which is not how speaker Mfg. Rate power handling. Not to mention possibly hurting the woofer before that free air test.
WWSLD is my pick of the 3 to win. I was tempted to buy one, but instead bought the Sundown U series (which I think is what the WWSLD is copying).
Regardless of the subs ohm, 1000 watts is 1000 watts, so the comparison is still valid.
I'm just trying to be transparent so all of the skar fanboys will not lose their mind.
@@DIYAudioGuy lol, fair enough.
Up next, do some subs from Alibaba
I'll say it again in every Skar related video. Skar is fine equipment as long as you follow their specs. Quit abusing Skar equipment and it will run fine for years to come.
Was there any break in time on these before testing? didn't catch if you mentioned it
Hi! I'm Yanka!😂
I've got an idea and pretty much no budget. I want to take the sub out of my home theater powered subwoofer that has a blown amp and put it in a custom box behind the seat in my single cab s10. I have a Pioneer monoblock class D amp to running with. I have no idea of the ohm rating or the watt rating of the sub. It's all parts I already have and am not currently using. I imagine the amp shouldn't have any issues a 8 ohm load.
What you're proposing will work just fine, it's not going to be the world's greatest subwoofer.
@DIYAudioGuy im aware it won't be great. I just want a little more low end to fill out the sound a little better. Used to have a great sound system in my extended cab Sonoma. Not much room in a single cab unless you go custom. I'm just trying to use what I've got laying around. I do have a couple 10" Pioneer subs laying around as well. I don't think I've enough room for the correct size box though.
I did something similar in my single cab 88 C2500 that I put bucket seats in. I set an old non-powered home sub and powered it with a TarAmps DS440 bridged and while not perfect, it sounds good.
"I've got an idea and pretty much no budget." That's been my problem for a long time, now, concerning experimenting with subs! LOVE THAT COMMENT. Great tee-shirt idea, lol. I have a 'DUAL' brand bandpass box as my home 'theater' sub that has only one sub working - the other I tried to fix and it went for 'animal research' otherwise - now a gaping hole covered by the sub's basket, lol. Other sub in HT system is the one originally with the RCA amp/receiver and I stuffed an old sock in the booming, buzzing port and that + the other sub (BP box) are GREAT for my low-end (lol) home audio arrangement. PS---Aim your HT sub (or even one or two 10-inchers) right AT your recliner, (up-close!) for added BELOW-low-end! 🙂🤗😏
@@justlooking6898 that would be a good t-shirt idea
Why didn't you throw torro in the mix? I hear they are pretty good
Because you've not gone over to patreon.com/DIYaudioguy and signed up. If only 1% of my viewers supported me at the $10 level I could test every subwoofer on the market.
@@DIYAudioGuy touché
No American bass?
I Didn't See A Decimal point ..., within that Number ....
I'm really not understanding your testing methodology. Are you testing which can push the most air for a certain dollar amount? Are there enough people looking for that information to warrant doing a video on? Is this a bass head thing?
Came to the comments to hear all the haters or the know it all😅
did you load the calibration mic file into REW? It looks like a 6 or 12 DB LFP @ something high like 250 Hz. Maybe you have a crossover in place on accident?
I did calibrate the mic and there are no crossovers -- I went right from the laptop to the amp. I suspect the laptop is the issue.
@DIYAudioGuy easy to verify from a dedicated/usb sound card
I’m happy with my setup. Two fi audio mt15’s on two deaf bonce asa 6000.1 using two jp40 lithium and xs power sb500 under the hood. I upgraded from skar rp4500. Good amps but deaf bonce are just better with better sound quality
I bet that's loud AF.
@@DIYAudioGuy yeah sounds great for a daily driver. Not going to win anything at slamology but wasn’t built to do so. I’d say I’m about 140-142 db haven’t officially been measured
Big Beefy Bass Brain Busters. =)
Skar has been around for a while. I typically don't trust keyboard-faceplant brand names on Amazon, as they miraculously re-faceplant into a new brand name every 2-3 months. Skar could have the worst customer service in the world, and they'd still be better because at least you have the opportunity to get treated poorly by someone. ;)
Funny enough, these two brands have managed to last for about a year and a half. Kind of shocked they stuck around that long.
Giggity
FOR LESS tHEN , "$ 100.50" ?
Skar ddx for 160 is wayyyy better than those
These companies could have tried harder with the names, those are god awful.
For brokies and the usual suspects
Don’t buy hyanka, you’re only gonna get yanked!!! Mines blew day 1. The rms is total bs. Build quality is very low.
😂😂😂 poping your trunk with these speakers with made up brand names nobody can pronounce...... It's like wearing four stripe Adidas and thinking you're cool😂😂😂
I wonder how many American brands regret sending manufacturing to China now that the factories in China are slapping random names on other people's designs and undercutting them on price.
@@DIYAudioGuy it is and was all by design brother, destruction of American culture end Business.... Red or blue they both hate you!
@@DIYAudioGuy and I love your videos bro please don't think I'm trashing on any of your skill or effort
@@illuminatikiller1 It's all good!
Lol. If you're still popping your trunk for credibility, you probably have math assignments that are missing.
