$140 Budget Banger! Seismic Audio GFC 12 Review

[@BassFace1776]

Some subs just don't like large boxes. Sounds like there recommendation of 1.75 ported is spot on.

[@briank.2650]

The old round solo-barics were finicky like that.

[@xguy7577]

I've had mine on a sfb1000.1 since June last year. Works pretty good. Surprised in the accuracy. I have mine in a 1.75 box. That would probably help with cone control.

[@DTW-bx2vy]

Not to bad, running 800 to 1000 watts would be a perfect match for this subwoofer in a daily driver budget build.

[@briank.2650]

Really impressive build quality for the price. I'm curious about this brand now.

[@TheSara200424]

Highly doubt the leads are going to fail. 140$ that's probably the best sub out there for the cash

[@BornToCreateContent]

Another Parker Video Banger. Thank you so much for your dedication brother. Truly appreciate it Parker.....

[@74midwestbass74]

I've been looking at these for a while but never pulled the trigger on them! Nice 🎥 bro!

[@MrDopey32]

For the price, that's not to bad. 160-180 is a good price range. They would make a nice quad box I bet. Lol But question Parker, What happen to the frontend of your car sir? When I seen that I was like, oh shit! That hurt to see. 44hz would probably be a sweet spot with just a little smaller box, for sure, I would agree.

[@liikajalka]

damn that sub looked like it got some serious power going thru 😁 solid

[@jasongumm8165]

I recently bought 2 of the SA-LAF122 , only using 1 until I get a better amp but running mine on a Kicker KX600.1 and so far I'm impressed with the performance

[@knockout_wj8886]

Looks like the JL W6 Ring. The inner trim ring.

[@Kingquad750]

I bought the same sub about 6 months ago, put a planet audio 1500 with it in a ported box in my jeep and I have no complaints. Just bought a new Chevy Colorado, and me and a friend built a 1.45 sealed box for it yesterday. Should be wiring it up next weekend. I've had the planet audio amp turned all the way up since I got it.

[@SifuBang]

Was thinking about putting my SA in a sealed also, let me know how you liked it-

[@areasonablethought610]

They make dj speakers. I had some of their single and double cabs and their dj speakers sound good. They are out of Memphis and have the fastest shipping I ever seen. I put in the order one day and the next afternoon it was on the back porch. All I could say is dayuum.

[@melchor138]

I bought there pa speakers 15's when they barely came out. Around 130 a pair. And they sound great! Very loud and clear.

[@redvivid]

I just wish their pro audio speakers were reliable. I've been through a few of thier products and all have failed.

[@areasonablethought610]

@@redvivid you overplayed them then. I could never play mine above 2 in a small to medium size bar/club. And they were loud and clear.

[@redvivid]

@@areasonablethought610 i didn't overplay them. Their pro drivers are terrible. I used them at recommended ratings and in boxes that are in accordance with what they provide on their site. I typically work with much higher-valued systems like Kv2 and L'Acoustics in huge clubs so id like to think I know a few things about pro audio. yes for the money you get a decent product that can sound good but it's almost as if they don't know much about their product if im running their drivers at recommended specs and still hae to replace drivers.

[@areasonablethought610]

@@redvivid my next go round I would get something more top tier like jbl, ev or Mackie though.

[@robsorgdrager8477]

They do very well in sealed smaller enclosure.

[@thatsoftballguy2010]

You got to do a battle of the shallow mounts. Including the jl 13.5.

[@lee28.78]

use that pre fab skar box u got ,,that one you got it in is way way to big . thanks for the video 😊

[@jamesr3364]

Parker should deaden those garage doors with a light weight deadener some 80mil could do a review on it too! Might work as insulation too

[@csj9619]

Never use drywall screws to mount subs in an enclosure y'all. Machine screws into t-nuts is my preferred choice of hardware. Take 'em out and put 'em in as many times as you want with no loss of holding force.

[@jamesowens7473]

I bought three of the 8" subs and I have them in a Volkswagen beetle

[@96kylar]

Bummer,.. they look and sound like shit imho

[@jonadkins9339]

Another budget sub that looks the part is the Hifonics BRW12. $170 on Amazon right now. Looks awesome. Wonder if they perform though.

[@gaming4dayz709]

Hey Parker, you should check out the Bass Rockers BRB12D4v2 12" Subwoofer they are around the same price. They would be a great comparison.

[@thomasnygard2334]

Would fine if it fails lord of bass to the rescue

[@joshholden8561]

Parker the top plastic ring is glued on

[@Chuck_Sanders]

The leads are fine. They'll hold up just fine. They're probably 3 to 5 times thicker, then the coil wire itself.

[@donjaun540]

Maybe just the material type that made spyder crunchy. I was doing your shaking two finger thing up in the air while you were bumping music. Lol🤣😭

[@ericflowers2146]

I just picked up one of the 8s the other day for almost nothing. I'll probably be building a box soon for my regular cab f150

[@jaysautoandmore1771]

I bought the black diamond 12s instead. They almost have the same specs.

[@soundbeast39]

Keep these videos coming great video again 👍🏼 stay up an stay Bassin brother 🔊🔊🤙🏼

[@xXxREDEEMEDxXx-yc9ne]

You should do a review on the soundstream t5!lol ,by the way keep up the great bass vids 👌!

[@iamhimnot-them8335]

That sub is bulletproof the cosmetics don't matter. I've seen you test many top shelf subs that look good but failed, even the pyle from Walmart test held up for so long just depends on the box the watts and fine tuning. You can make 500 bucks sound like 2k.

[@thatunknownguy2680]

I like that basket. We're so used to the cookie cutter ti basket subs. I don't see anything wrong with the build of it.

[@jimmyjam5588]

Happy Easter Parker, thanks for the review I was really wondering about these subs

[@georgecampos7119]

I being looking at them for some time I love the looks of the sub but now that you reviewed this one I'll buy couple but blow them up lol and upgrade the soft parts lol

[@jeffreybradley3736]

I was thinking the same thing . Great looking motor and frame for the price . If it blows , just build it back better .

[@georgecampos7119]

@@jeffreybradley3736 that's right lol that basket and magnet are worth the 💰 and with little extra will be a great looking sub

[@tommydeininger]

I'm about to attempt a recone, what would you suggest?

[@georgecampos7119]

Pretty much if you want to use basket and motor just get better parts. Coil spyder and cone. Is fun and learning experience. Now I realize why good subs are expensive lol good luck 👍

[@tommydeininger]

I'm having a hard time finding exactly what to get. Do you mind telling me who you ordered from? I don't know if it's design flaw or if it's something I'm doing but it seems like the secondary spider comes loose from the former on these.

[@sterr1]

Nice. Sounding sub. I had the 8" on a Kenwood 500x1 and in a ported box. Very musical. However it only lasted a couple months before it stopped working. I am now running a Wolfram 10" entry level sub. And man does it hit. But the SA sounds better. Build quality kind of sucks on the SA.

[@williamtoth6186]

Spider crunch is normal. It’s just fresh and never moved

[@stevemaniaci4750]

16:40. Lmfao. That boi. Was getting it. Parker i gotta hand it too ya this is exactly why i watch your vidieos . bro. That was 👌 great. Those subs will soon be on the endanger species list.

[@1ohmwrecker]

If some newbie saw 2200 watts, and bought a decent quality amp like a JP23, they would blow that sub immediately lol. For that price range you could buy an American Bass Elite tho🤷‍♂️

[@zachblah1021]

Parker your the best. Love watching the videos bro. Take care.

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Thank you Zach!!

[@bassmanza]

in south Africa we have a sub that looks exactly the same and is made by a different brand known as starsound cool to see what something similar does

[@SandClean]

Loved the face when it bottomed out lol love the content

[@carsandstuff711]

Great video, but save the drywall screws for drywall.

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Hahahaha!

[@rachaelperez1354]

wow talk about garbage im so glad there are bass heads like yourself that do stuff like this thanks for all you do

[@HighVybeTribe]

Hey Parker , I just watched a video from Digital Designs and he was showing different spiders 2 and they both made that crunchy sound. Just an FYI. 💪😎👌

[@2025944]

The skar audio ddx12 is looking like a better deal for less or same. Definitely both good subs

[@owenanderson2306]

how? lmao skar has a 2.5 inch voice coil and only 15 mm of xmax this sub has a 3 inch vc and 20 mm of xmax way better

[@2025944]

@@owenanderson2306 I feel like the skar would eat more watts but I don’t know he just has to big a box

[@kswis]

Nice to have options, and thanks to you now we know what it's about. Hearing the coil smack shit it shouldn't made me pucker a bit

[@Ltaylor1986]

Would you try one of those gravity subwoofers off of eBay and see what it can do?

[@absalonw007]

Trash

[@mikewaters6339]

Nice as usual. like to see your take on this subs, I found: Zarem Audio ABM-12 D2. I've heard from a few people saying for $80 bucks they are on point. As i see it these look like Skar SDR?

[@mikewhite4541]

Really good looking sub. Sucks there's no gasket and leads and terminals are so small.

[@MrSzero13]

i actually just got 2 of there GFC 10inch subs and i made a custom box and put it in my truckat first, but.. being 10s idk if it filled the truck enough so i put em in my little work car my cobalt and OMG lol.. the 2 10 inch SA GFC's RACKKKKKK both my back windows are now twerkin haha .. i really likr the quality of the construction of these subs as well, nice basket, stiff spider.. i dont like the single leads and term not being sewn into the spider, but o well// they do bang for the money spnt :) super happy with the SA subs i replaced thm with my worn out JL audio 12s lol

[@blazintracks2060]

Finally!!! thank you i love these subs they slap for the price you just need to break them in good before you over power them youll rip the top spider off

I didnt notice until now🤣

Not bad man! Def would love to see you throw six in the box and give them a beat down! Time to lose those taramps and get those sick jp amps down4sound! Have one regular and other flipped to show guts now that’s what I’m talking about ! Love the videos keep it up dude

[@stevemaniaci4750]

Those tensile lead wont last they look to weak for a sub that size. Great video parker . see if they have any reconing. Options avalible for those subs

[@Bigislandguy]

Parker, since I know you owned some Audiopipe’s before, how do you think this compares to a Audiopipe txx bdc4? Which one do you think is better and why?

[@tommydeininger]

I had bdc2s before i sold and got a couple of these due to size constraints (went from car to extended cab s10). They sound ok but don't seem to handle rated power. The double spider idea sucks, already have to recone one due to coming loose and sliding on former destroying the tinsel leads and soon will have to do other. But for little over $100 good deal

[@tommydeininger]

One bdc2 15 would beat out both 12s tho

[@Bigislandguy]

@@tommydeininger yeah those seismic audios are over rated but still for the price, I think it’s of good value. How long will they last… I’m not sure. I have one in my xterra in a custom, built to spec ported box. 1.75 net. and it hits a Spl levels a little over 140. @ 40hz. I guess I really should be uploading and Sharing. I also have some bdc4 subs but I didn’t get to try those out yet.

[@claudiomarin6291]

What you recommend to upgrade from some 12 inch mtx 7500?..I have 4 being powered by 2 AP1500bd. I want something beefer but not break the bank. Love your videos bro keep up the good work!

[@samueljackson2478]

These hit hard bro Lanzar Lanzar - OptiDrive 15.44" Woofer - Black

[@HighVybeTribe]

I am curious why you don't put some type of material in the box to reduce the volume so you don't max out these subs ??

[@joshholden8561]

That sub needs a smaller box or a box tuned real low like 30 htz

[@michaelgalbert413]

Hey Parker have you heard of Carbon Audio? I would like you to try one out on the channel one day.

[@FAQBrooks]

What state do you live in Parker? I’m located right outside Knoxville, Tennessee and have 2-3 single 12” sub boxes and each is a different cu ft from 1.25-2.5. If you are close enough to somewhere that either I myself or someone I know, then I could try to get them to you. They’re 3/4 mdf and carpeted black. I’m almost positive that all 3 are ported to some degree but the small one might be sealed. If they’re something that you could use I’ll donate them to you.
