Off topic info: In a previous video you had issues when you inverted that Audiopipe subwoofer. I just got one and you can remove the gasket and flip it over so the flat smooth part is on the top. This allows you to invert mount with a tight seal. Also useful for dual subwoofers mounted face to face in an isobaric enclosures.

[@fiveohgod]

I used to run port wars type outlaw SPL back in the day. The classes were set by your total inches of subs... 1-15" , 15-24" , etc. I had a single AW1200 Audiobahn on a 1K amp in a box tuned to 35hz, smallish square port. Rules were meter guy sits in passenger side and places mic anywhere you choose where he can reach by hand. I'd play my chosen tone with port front facing in a Fox body hatch and the highest I hit was a 173. That was in 2003. I'd be in the smallest class with a brand that got dissed for "being flashy" and get the highest numbers of the WHOLE show. Pissed guys off with 4 15's. Its all about playing by the rules.

Love them audiobahns not many Gen Z guys got to see them. I would love to get some of the Eternals or immortals they made before going out of business. From what I understand Circuit city was the death of them. They had a deal to sell audiobahn subs. They sent the speakers, Circuit city went under and didn't send the speakers back forcing Audiobahn to eat all the cost. Putting them out of business as well.

[@THECelrenel]

I want to apologize. I have been asking for the XMAXXX REVIEW for awhile now. And I had missed the video until now. Thanks for finally approving my request!

[@OxBlitzkriegxO]

Calculate the Xmax by subtracting the thickness of the top plate from the height of the voice coil winding and divide it by two. That describes how far the cone can move forward while keeping the voice coil inside the magnetic gap. A sub can go FAR beyond xmax but motor force and cone control will be significantly reduced until you reach xmech, or the mechanical limits of the driver. an example of a sub exceeding xmax but not yet reaching xmech is at 14:20. right before the tone stops, you horrible sound is the sub losing control of the cone. you hear it again at 14:36 and a very light touch of xmech. you hear the same thing at 14:50. a blatant example of xmech the clacking sound you hear at 15:02. thats the former beating itself to death as the sub has reached xmech. the sub doesnt pick up any more output because youve exceeded its power handling and excursion capabilities. this sub has a stupidly high moving mass and in turn, also has high qms (mechanical dampening). that is how they got the Fs to 31hz. the qes shows that motor force (BL) is easily able to overcome the internal resistance of the sub. this is a good thing. this sub has a pretty low VAS rating due to how stiff it is but that also means itll need to be a smaller ported box to really get anything out of it. the overall design of this sub is really to play in a narrow band around its Fs in a smallish box and not much else. its not musical at all, although with the right box just about anything is possible.

[@DjR3aper]

What makes a sub musical

[@OxBlitzkriegxO]

@@DjR3aper technically, nothing. however, subs are built with certain parameters in mind, some of which make them suboptimal for listening to music.

[@greglatta1]

@@DjR3aper a decent fs, a decent xmax, a low mms generally will allow a subwoofer to play the low hz while also having good extension to move lots of air, the low weight of the soft parts along with a somewhat softer suspension would allow the sub to react or have a quicker response to changes in the music. But you will also have to have a strong motor force to keep the cone in control since you would rely less upon a stiff suspension to keep the coil within its optimal travel

[@MadScientist512]

These channels should really know that the best way to record subs is with a small sealed subwoofer used as a microphone. With appropriate frequency correction and impedance matching this will accurately record the loudest of subs at the lowest of frequencies, with None of the usual massive distortion found in basically every subwoofer demo video ever made, which somewhat defeats the point of making it. Add a small dome midrange and you get a 'microphone' capable of accurately recording the loudest of sounds like gunshots/jet engines/etc. I figured this out 25 years ago when a friend couldn't record his kick-drum without blowing out his microphone, and building him a mini 'subwoofer-microphone' out of a 5 inch woofer with a tin can enclosure placed inside the drum solved that problem; he was absolutely stoked with it!

I was going to buy the Sundown X V2's until I watched his video of the Sundown X V2 vs a Skar VXF and seen how much better build quality the Skar really is. I know a lot fan boys will try to argue but I'm not loyal to any brand and am very open minded. Facts are facts to me. Here is a list of things you Skar ZVX has but the Sundown X doesn't. The ZVX has a stronger & better coil with thicker flat wound wire that is solidcopper instead of copper coated aluminum and has the black high temp coil glue to keep it wound and stuck together The coil & basket cooling/venting is A LOT better with a lot more holes and bigger holes for cooling. the spider is A LOT better put together with more glue and with a extra mounting ring to keep the spider mounted very well to the basket. The terminals were stronger/stiffer And I believe a few other things. All the Sundown X had better was a bigger motor, a fatter surround and better tensile leads. I bought a ZVX after watching that video and am more than pleased with the results. I don't fan boy out on any brand, I go off of build quality, power and price. I will never let a "logo" brand name cloud my vision of what the actual facts are. For the price of the Skar you cannot beat them

142 with one sub not bad.. i had 3 jl audio 10w6's long time ago in bandpass box that got 144 db

[@TrunkThunderLithium]

That deff looks like way more then a 20mm throw one way. Atleast 30ish. I swear those specs they get from the build house or company doesn't really think about the break in period that plays a huge role in how the xmax changes because the spider has been given time to stretch her legs 🕷️ that thing gets down!!!

Dude you came a LONG way in this hobby in a short few years! Congratulations on your success! I hope your KZbin checks are fat

Gotta love American bass

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Yessir!

[@Krotos1970]

I agree with you on not putting max power on amps but subs I think it's ok, for instance my zvxv2 18s are rated at 1600 RMS and 3200 max, but I have 9k Wolfram on 2 18s at 1 ohm on a daily, had set up for a few years, have not blown them

[@mattadams7922]

ok, so just understand that American bass xmaxx monster is a purely Db sub so max is more important because it's built to burp at 6k not run full tilt for days at it. the Xmax is rated differently then what you think. Xmax is just that what the sub is built to do mech Xmax is just that what the parts can do.

What about resilient sounds platinum 12

[@trentbolognani2509]

So can a sub go lower than it’s Fs rating? Because it said 31hz but then proceeded to play 20hz… I thought Fs was the lower it can go. My shitty subs are rating for 30hz and I think they can barely hit 32hz because music with 30hz and lower it doesn’t play at all, 30hz gets quiet

[@btmhotdrop2827]

Songs u played at 10:00 and 10:10 made me sub those are my favorite bass songs

[@RobertSmith-nx6tw]

They can do whatever they want because we know American bass standards are great

[@misterpimlott6330]

I have a 2004 as well, might have to ask some things later on

[@Alpate_audio]

You can tell swing my door by Gucci was slappin! 🔊 💨

[@eliqsexe888]

I've never tried it but does a inverted subwoofer even work? I thought the box design will not work when subwoofer is inverted

[@ShmeKz]

9:54 i dont know why but i got some goosebumps here XD can you tell me what the name of music is ? its sick bass on this music

[@willnorthcuttiii4905]

Good shit bro. I also have mine at half ohm stable 4 12s but there cheap I'm ready to upgrade. Great video

[@BabyCharlotteschannel]

Aside from a lot less xmax, this seems to be fairly close to my Audiopulse Axis quad 1 ohm voice coil 12" sub.. think i paid like $550 or so on sale from parts express like 13 years ago!!

[@mapexman86]

Might be hard to get your hands on one but you should review db drive plt12wd sub yeah buddy I got 2 and they are beast

[@1ohmwrecker]

I'm glad I chose the Xv3's cuz this was deff a contender, but I've had american bass subs before and haven't heard the best about these long term 🤷‍♂️

[@RomaVilla]

Would you not recommend these?

[@1ohmwrecker]

@RomaVilla not that I wouldn't recommend, I just think there's better options at that price range. I've been to a good few shows where they don't seem to stand the test of time lol. But really it's all how you treat em. 🤷‍♂️
