I've been wanting to see a review on the American bass xmaxx sub as well. Not many videos of this subwoofer on UA-cam and the people who do have them have terrible vids and one of them actually has them with the vfl amps but the new vfl amps don't put out the power. The new vfl series are known to be extremely overrated but I love American bass subs. I think American bass has something to do with atomic. I had 2 atomic apx 12's and they were brutal. I haven't seen an atomic build in a long time but American bass is everywhere
Honestly aside from not having one of the big boy d'amore engineering test benches like steve Meade or willston car audio labs he does the best he can. I appreciate the honest reviews looking into a 12" for my CAB 2k
It's about time you threw in a real sub for a relative comparison. I invested into skar vxf for now. I want more lows and I want more power handling. So knowing sundown actually offers that, I just have to save is very helpful. Your doing good out there. Keep helping people bro the world needs more of that, remember that through this journey.
Man, I bought the x 15 powered by a SFB3k. Ive never been so dissapointed in a sub in my life. Yes it eats the lows like crazy but that's ALL it does. Overall performance in this sub sucks dude. High end bass is non existent and unless you're listening to nothing but rap Gucci Mane or electronic rebassed songs this sub is next to useless. Enjoy your 1 dimensional sub
@@seankiesling2054 Most megaroll surround subs don't do good on high notes anyway, plus the sundown x subs come with a soft suspension to help better with low low, if you want high frequency and decent lows go with the sundown u series.
@@BenaresDarkness ive heard nothing but amazing about that Resilient beast This is gonna sound dumb but I've come to realize I like the sound of 12s better. Granted my sample size was small with that one Sundown X15 everything else has been 12s
Love it Parker! Looking forward to the Jensen Walmart sub video! I'll add to the choir... test the American Bass Xmaxx and maybe the new Kicker SoloX. Both of those subs will generate tons of views!
Lol, you was cheesing like a kid in a candy store! That's a great sub. I came close to getting 2 of them, DB 3512, DC XL Elite, or B2 Audio on black Friday. I went with the Fi BTL4 instead. I know they say conservatively rated, but every manufacturer says that about their subs. Big difference between 1500 and 3500 watts rms and 30mm-34mm xmax. I'm guessing the Sundown could handle 3k, but can't be sure with the 1500 watt rating. Great video Parker. Thanks for the content lil brother. Still waiting for the Savard Hi Q 12!
Outside of lows this sub sucks. It destroys the lows but if you want ANY kind of performance outside of strictly low end avoid this sub like the plaque
@@Jacob-ud9fe they sound the same. the bandbass box for the sundown barely fits my trunk if i made a bandpass for the w7 it would be too big for my trunk
Hahaha noooo they don’t sound the same at all buddy, trust me! I’ve heard these a ton, and I own the 13w7, the W7 is a much better sounding sub, and by a landslide. Keep what u have, trust me!
Hey just so everybody knows you can get a X12 for under 400 dollars from Directronix. DTX has crazy savings with referbes. you an get a zv5 12 for 550.

@@johndough4338 How much true power do these sundown 12s actually handle? Could a comparison be made to a zvx? For 500 bucks I would look at those Fi subs instead of these sundown but that's just me.
Idk if it's just the video or what, maybe some other guys will chime in, but it sounds like you've got alot of port noise on that sub bro. Either you need a larger aero port or maybe even a second. Just my opinion man, I know I could be wrong, I just "think" they like alot of port area. Hope your enjoying it, either way! Thank you for the still awesome video 💪🏽
Nice video man I was really curious about this sub because I just bought one 12xv myself I'm a JL audio fan but from what my sound shop told me is the jl 12w6 v3 wouldn't be a match for sundown xv sub and he sells both brands he explained that jl has a cleaner bass but does not even come close to the loudness of the xv. I just had my box custom made ported box today tuned to 32 hz with a huge port and 1 inch thick face all I'm missing for my build is couple D4S lithium batteries and I can start my build from what everyone is telling me this build would probably be enough to put a crack in my windshield we will see and I'll video it to see if the xv can lol. Keep up the good work on the videos man 👍🏽👍🏽.
I love the x series sundowns I'm on my way to 8 xv2 d2 18,s,soon people soon .I'm stacking my cheese as we speak already ordered , nothing but payments now.!!!!!!!!!God is good folks.
Hey Parker, I'm trying to decide between 3 subwoofers, the Sundown X 12, American Bass XFL 12, Skar ZXF 12. You own all 3 so how would you compare the SPL and the SQ between the 3 subwoofers?
Gotta play DJ droppn-Droppn Beats,Low and Slow-Deadly Bass. Rap only goes to low maybe 30-27hz with some jams going lower but with bass tracks like the one I mentioned it really plays the notes we pay big money to play with Authority. Maybe you can’t play it here in UA-cam but it’s worth you trying out. Or Bass Extreme- 20 Hurts or 2&2. This is why I rock 4 inch coils.
I’ve had a single 12” setup in my daily driver for over 10 years. And through the years I’ve had these in my box (2.5ft3 30hz 40in2 port) on 2.2-3k rms Digital Designs 2512 Fi Q 12 Sundown SA 12 SKAR DDX 12 SKAR VXF 12 And this Black Friday I finally ordered a sundown X-12 V2 and an SFB5k as a last attempt at keeping a single 12 for max output before I eventually give up more trunk space for 2 12s or something bigger. Anyway, for years I’ve heard about the X and have seen some vids where the X is excurting like crazy on about 2-3k. Well I hate to say it but I’m disappointed because it doesn’t sound that much louder or better than all the aforementioned subs!!!!! Yes it gets low but so did the VXF and all the other ones except the DDX. The DDX played the highest frequency range well into 100hz plus. For such a massive Sub like the X is, I expected a lot more even if it was just massive lows only but no. Btw my box is in a sedan facing the cabin and sealed off from trunk so all subs sounded real good and clean with no trunk rattle but the X is only slightly louder. :\
Oh and it’s getting smelly too when the amp is barely even clipping or not even at all. And I can’t even get it to excurt a huge amount. The highest I’ve gotten it to excurt is the low notes on bass I love you and it got smelly fast! What gives?
U still got it? I had a sundown sa 12 v2 in a 2.2 cubic foot box at 32 hz, it hit the lows good but something about the sub sounded off...idk how to explain but on some songs i played, it did not sound or hit the same as my past subs (kicker L7 15, jl audio w6, alpine type r, rockford t1). I ended up selling it as it was bugging me and bought a skar evl 12 d4. The skar sounded like my past subs but more intense so to speak, it even hit the lows as good as the sundown sa 12v2. I ended up buying another sundown (x12 v2 d2) yesterday for 450, but saving up to get the 2.5 cubic foot box for it..hopefully it sounds like the skar evl. Shit i shouldve got the skar vxf
had a x15 loved it to death. thing was a monster im sure youll enjoy it alot only reason i got rid of myne is i went bigger ... alot bigger hutchinson 21 inch now
Oh hey @parker I know it cost alot but have you considered trying out a FI BTL ??? Or a FI SSD?? Those subs get low n loud. But the sub I truly wanna see you test out because I'm truly thinking about tracking one down myself n buying is the biggest and most powerful subwoofer skar Audio has ever created... The DNR 15"..... It's a 10,000 watt sub... I wanna see what it can truly do..
@@xbrussell4755 it sounds good but I'm not pushing it hard enough. it's on a crescendo symphony s1 plus. might bump it up to a crescendo bc 4k around tax time in couple months
Can you review an Orion hcca regular or the splx they have 4”and 4”1/2 inch voice coils and a 30 mm plus x- max , I would love to see what they can do in your set up 👍🏻
If you do... don't go with the x.... this sub is 1 dimensional and next to useless outside of lows...ive never been so dissapointed in a purchase than I am with this sub. DD's are so much better subs than Sundown. If you're going to go with Sundown pick up the U or maybe the Z.... the x is wack
@@seankiesling2054 thanks! Yeah if it isn’t broke don’t fix it right. My system is painful when the gain is over 1/4. I give as much credit to the box they are in and being in a hatchback.
@@ParkerTheBasshead Call Bob at American Bass and see if he'll give you a discount on an XXMAX MONSTER 12 for a showdown against the Sundown 12s. He would probably do it because the MONSTERS would eat Sundown for breakfast

I have the same exact subwoofer in the trunk of my car. Just posted a video of it the other day. I just need to feed it more power. My electrical is good just need a bigger amplifier.
@@benmiller5830 yeah they're B stock and during testing they might have had a coil tick at a given frequency but everything ive ever purchased from the sundown yardsale looked and performed as new.
Honestly is the sundown worth the extra money ?? Skar, Rockville ect all have some 2000watts rms for allot less can’t wait till Parker does a comparison video of the skar vs sundown
Parker I would love to see a review of the sundown U series & I think a comparison between the U & X series would make for a great video cuz they're both rated at the same 1500 RMS but are such completely obviously different speakers when put side by side both made by Sundown, same power rating, similar price point although the U series are always in yard sale for dirt cheap I got a pair TWO U 15s on yard sale for $470 total for both shipped.
@@ParkerTheBasshead hell yeah! I'm running my 2 u 15s on an sfb 8k in a aeroport I designed & built with a single 9.5in dia 16in L port & man can they take a BEATING but sound great def a sleeper sub gonna make for a good vid fo sho.
@@ParkerTheBasshead honestly my 1st impression of the sub was these subs would be perfect for a badass house system/home theater build. Ive always wanted to build a massive Jamaican style Soundsystem with the big ol cabinets stacked up but load them up with car audio speakers and run it on 120v ac "house" amps
you might only need one bro they love plenty power . I have one on a qsc rmx 5050 and it is shaking off the roof of my house , and the Amp is clipping need more power from the amp
Don't. I purchased this sub. Never been more dissapointed in a sub as I am with this thing. It hits the lows but that's about it...all around performance sucks! I like bass... not just only low end bass to Gucci Mane songs. Avoid.... buy a U series
If you just waited a little more they usually have them on sale during tax time. Around $420ish which is a more reasonable price to pay. But definitely a great sub imo.
Off topic question for this video, I have the Skar vd 10 db2 slim sub. It’s rated at 500 RMS and 800 max at 1 ohm. I have a kicker Key 500.1 pushing it right now. It’s not getting the job done. Was thinking about buying the Skar marine 800.1 or the Skar marine 1500.1. I have this in a .95 cubic foot sealed enclosure in my RZR. What do you think would be best? Love the videos, and appreciate all the tests!
how is your electrical. i would say go for the 1500.1 but you need to upgrade your electrical. if you get the 800.1 you still need to do the big 3 and add a battery but your stock alternator should be enough to keep the voltage up
I think i won this fella in a drawing. 😍 thank you so much Parker!!
Yessir!! Glad it is going to a good home

its the best
Right lol

I have the same exact subwoofer in the trunk of my car. Just posted a video of it the other day. I just need to feed it more power. My electrical is good just need a bigger amplifier.
What amp are you running?
I would like a full comparison to the Scar n more than SPL how about quickness, sound quality, n depth it reaches???
These are 297.99 at sundownyardsale.com right now.Both 4ohm and 2ohm.
That's really low. Is there something wrong with them?
They have some sick deals right now
@@benmiller5830 yeah they're B stock and during testing they might have had a coil tick at a given frequency but everything ive ever purchased from the sundown yardsale looked and performed as new.
@@gregblau8082 hell yeah dude theres amps and some 12" and 15" SA V.2s for under 200 each.
@@TrollRaper69 Sounds like a steal. I just bought one! Hopefully it works well
Gotta get some heat in there. Check Amazon for the screw in heat lamps
2 Hippo 12s or 1 XV2?
Great video! Spending that extra money from skar though..... idk 😭
Honestly is the sundown worth the extra money ?? Skar, Rockville ect all have some 2000watts rms for allot less can’t wait till Parker does a comparison video of the skar vs sundown
Parker I would love to see a review of the sundown U series & I think a comparison between the U & X series would make for a great video cuz they're both rated at the same 1500 RMS but are such completely obviously different speakers when put side by side both made by Sundown, same power rating, similar price point although the U series are always in yard sale for dirt cheap I got a pair TWO U 15s on yard sale for $470 total for both shipped.
Getting a U series this weekend!
@@ParkerTheBasshead hell yeah! I'm running my 2 u 15s on an sfb 8k in a aeroport I designed & built with a single 9.5in dia 16in L port & man can they take a BEATING but sound great def a sleeper sub gonna make for a good vid fo sho.
@@ParkerTheBasshead honestly my 1st impression of the sub was these subs would be perfect for a badass house system/home theater build. Ive always wanted to build a massive Jamaican style Soundsystem with the big ol cabinets stacked up but load them up with car audio speakers and run it on 120v ac "house" amps
I just ordered the Sundown Xv3 12 2Ohm!
Bout time you get a big boy! Get ur hands on a ZV5! Its a straight monster. Had 1 in my 04 Mustang and was BLOWN AWAY with the performance.
Considering 2 of these in the future. They look really good for the price, and handles the abuse :D
you might only need one bro they love plenty power . I have one on a qsc rmx 5050 and it is shaking off the roof of my house , and the Amp is clipping need more power from the amp
@@vincygamerbrakes201 Good to know bro
Worth upgrading from a Skar zvx?
I got one myself in my 03 avalanche man it will turn heads
LxHxW box specs? Would really appreciate a response, thanks man! Looks sick!
Do the comparison man. Zvx vs X :) don't think there's gonna be much difference imo. But next sub get that American bass xmaxx!!!
Started with kicker and love kicker but sundown is starting to be more mature
Have you thought about x6 sundown audio e12 v3s?
Love the Sundown X but would never buy it on my budget I'm working with.
Don't. I purchased this sub. Never been more dissapointed in a sub as I am with this thing. It hits the lows but that's about it...all around performance sucks! I like bass... not just only low end bass to Gucci Mane songs. Avoid.... buy a U series
@@seankiesling2054 thanks I have Soundqubed 18s and they hit 10hz to 65hz very loud. 28-42 hit the hardest.
@@seankiesling2054 Probably your box
@@potatojake197 box was custom built to the specs off the site for that sub
Just ordered one for my 04 Mustang GT. What do you recommend I get to pair with this for mids and highs
just got one of these for 200 bucks in a sundown box, probably will be getting another and building another box and push them with 6k
Can you make a video of your top 5 favorite sub brands ?
Good idea!!
@@ParkerTheBasshead plz do a comparison between the zvx and sundown x
Adire, Sundown, Fi, TC Sounds, Stereo Integrity
@@mikewalker4950 All good brands. Idk about favorite, but good brands🙃
Mine is American Bass, Skar, DS18, Stereo Integrity and Alphard
Parker on your 6 12 box what is the CU-FT and what is it tuned to, I never heard you mention it or i missed it.
He mentions his box specs right around the 5minute mark
@@mesanders1113 Yeah I believe those were the dimensions of the single 12" test box.
If you just waited a little more they usually have them on sale during tax time. Around $420ish which is a more reasonable price to pay. But definitely a great sub imo.
I’m planning on buying 2 of them around tax time and I’ll be hooking them up to a 12k amp
@@bassdynasty8840 did you get them? How do they play the lows??
@@GTILOUD I ended up buying the Sundown Xv3 12s with a custom box but they're just sitting in my room waiting to be installed. The subs look so good
If you had to compare that to those soundqubed subs what would be the difference?
Please compare the sundown x vs the skar zvx. Then if you ever get a sundown zv5 vs the sundown x. Thank you
I have a Xv2 15 on 4K its a little much but takes it and sounds good doing it.
X vs ZVX and VXF🙏🏼
yessir i got the zvx 12 and i wanna see how it does against the x serie.
So I'm looking at getting one od these sundowns 15 or Xmaxx 15.. What do u think?
Sadly the Walmart's around me quit selling car audio stuff since it is a small towns.
Pretty sure that sub would fit in the skar evl box right???
You need to play throw ya hood up by young Thug if you wanna test those
Lows
That song
Literally shake your car
hes Back !
Off topic question for this video, I have the Skar vd 10 db2 slim sub. It’s rated at 500 RMS and 800 max at 1 ohm. I have a kicker Key 500.1 pushing it right now. It’s not getting the job done. Was thinking about buying the Skar marine 800.1 or the Skar marine 1500.1. I have this in a .95 cubic foot sealed enclosure in my RZR.
What do you think would be best?
Love the videos, and appreciate all the tests!
how is your electrical. i would say go for the 1500.1 but you need to upgrade your electrical. if you get the 800.1 you still need to do the big 3 and add a battery but your stock alternator should be enough to keep the voltage up
I currently have both the skar and Sundown and sundown Destroys skar
