@F.B.I AGENT 420 Z it can handle it if you have a tight box to prevent over-excursion and if you do a really quick burp to not burn the vc

"What's up guys?" I love the intro, as always. I fell in love with 18's with my first 18 from Eminence Audio in 1991, made in Kentucky, USA. Great, fun video. Did I mention I love 18's, lol.

[@rozzbourn3653]

i remember back in the day there was a ppi van that had like 64 10" subwoofers that held the world record for spl at like 164db. how the technology has advanced.

[@chrislapointe256]

My son an I just ordered one. Looking forward to it thanks guys.

[@Argedis]

Would you say the U-series are tighter and punchier compared to the X series? I listen to a lot of metal and like deep accurate fast kick drums. Currently been running sealed boxes but want to upgrade to one of these in a ported enclosure and get deep lows while still remaining punchy and accurate.

[@UnofficialAudio]

The U-series subwoofer is exactly what you want.

[@Luminous.Dynamics]

Yes. like the SA.

[@RydinginStyle72]

What type of wattage can actually handle playing bass tracks like bass mechanics? Would it take a 3000 w RMS amplifier?

[@frankrivera9083]

WOW that shiznit was super loud i have an MOTO Z phone by Verizon and i bought a speaker for it most people think it's just a thick phone case but bro i thought that 160 was about to pop my little speakers one is like a mini sub and the other is for the voice but anyway yeah that U is a beast but to be honest i didn't expect anything less i don't care if people talk silly but SUNDOWN AUDIO are my #1 favorite SUBS the mids the highs i plan on getting a pair of every SUBS SUNDOWN AUDIO sells i want them all i already have a few sets ok im rambling again sorry about that but yeah great videos keep them coming please there awesome 👍🏼👍🏼✌🏼💪🏼🔈💪🏼🔉💪🏼🔊

Sub is still good. We topped out on power getting just over 9kw from each scv-7500 @ 1.3ohms reactive.

[@uptobatentertainment]

Sundown Audio unofficial dam that is beastly. Thanks for the vid!

[@SteveTheCanadian]

Its incredible that it takes another 7000watts to hit another db or 2 at that level

[@UnofficialAudio]

linear gains vs power compression

[@elsey1976]

Plus minimal cone area

[@mrmeiii]

There use to be a saying double the power per 2-4 Db gain don't know if that works today or not lol

[@michaelkafoure786]

Doubling your power is suppose to net you a 3db gain. But there will be losses due to efficiency of everything. Very impressive for that sub to hold that kind of power. I wonder how many times you could throw 18k at it before failure occurs?

[@riveralley]

It just take a lot of power to do that.

[@terryfarmer170]

[@lowhertzhighspl]

is U entry level? Or cost?

Takes power to make power...these videos are very motivational and informative

[@bearxbunny1835]

This is the 18 I am considering getting to put in my Chevy Cruze........ I will be powering it with a RF 1500bd so it should be enough power seeing how these amps are underrated anyways......

[@turntup3250]

Do these U series really work with the reccomended box specs? 3 cubes for a 15? Have a zv5 15 right now box is 4.6 cubes thinking bout getting a pair of U 15s, they are going in the trunk I have 6 cubes net if I build box inside trunk

[@johntaylor8476]

Aye cuz! Do a zv5 18 in that same setup and let's see what numbers you get from it! Real Talk!

[@herbyverstink]

probably wouldnt be as loud ..zv5s are meant to be loud sure,but meant for excursion as well...which might compromise it a bit ..just a guess however

[@UnofficialAudio]

Zv5 18" won't even fit in this setup. Sub is too deep for the box.

+Sundown Audio unofficial can you go though step by step how you make the NSV4 I’m interested in how the motor is put together if I had the money I would buy one what is the difference between the NSV4 and the team sundown Subwoofer I know that is underrated power how much can they handle on normal use not burp spl use Cheers Rick

[@Owen_7271]

the team series has much bigger magnets.

[@tboneo2005]

I have a the sa series12s on 4k

[@DavidHarris-jy4pp]

Hard to compare a neo based sub against a ferrite sub. NSv4 all day long... I'd be curious to see the Gauss readings from both, that may give us a better idea of motor strength by testing Gauss on motor only.

[@Owen_7271]

David Harris I think 91rickstar meant the team neo subs which have a bigger neo magnet then the zv4 subs.

[@DavidHarris-jy4pp]

Yeah, I forgot about the Team Neo sub Sundown has, my bad. I was thinking about the 120+lbs ferrite Team.

[@kevinAuman1]

Bro when you do these tests does it matter that the subs are straight outta the box and not broken in at all? Like wouldnt a fully broken in sub be slightly louder and take more wattage???

[@winfieldjenkins1328]

Very happy that I switched to sundown audio

[@mrjuice14ify]

[@geethang9195]

Awesome numbers sounds super loud

[@arnoldsalazar5851]

That’s impressive, so would it be safe to assume musically it should hover around the 150-155 mark??? Or is that woofer strictly for DB comps? Thanks Bro, love the videos.

[@Luminous.Dynamics]

It's just a u18 with tons of power thrown at it in a SPL burp box. But I'm sure it would still be a little loud in a daily box on rated power.

[@erikbritz8095]

Guessing 140 to 150s on music

Lol good luck because they had two of their 7500’s strapped to half a ohm each so they’re pushing some serious power to get that number, given that was a burp so there’s no way they could play music at that level for very long... of course unless you make an even better “magic box” 😂😂😂 maybe 4th order with both chambers tuned to the same frequency 👀👀 I’d also upgrade to two skar 2000’s 😉

Then the two most popular subs the SA 12" vs the X12.. and the U vs the winner.. like U series vs the X than the winner of that goes to the winner of the Zv6 n NSv5 battle and so on.. and like how Orion did it.. the HCCA vs the world lol and the HCCA kicked everyone's ass back then.
