A Memphis MOJO1212 vs Two 12" Memphis Mojo Pro. 1 subwoofer vs 2 subwoofers 1500 watts

We take the Memphis MOJO1212 12" subwoofer and compare them against 2 Mojo Pro 12" subwoofers in a ported box. Running a 1500 watt Memphis amp. We measure SPL with a termlab SPL meter to determine the winner!!

The single MOJO is a better speaker that why it's louder

[@carlosnelson6793]

Honestly..with the technology these days all you need is one 12..in a good quality box an quality amp especially in a suv...I been running 1 12inch sub for years people always think it's 2 subs😁

[@BreakersStereo]

True! Thanks for the comment!

[@Xx_xxx_xX185]

I have one quality 8inc sub and people have asked me if i have 12 or 15😂(low power one but still)

[@steveharley2021]

I agree...but after a few weeks when you get used to it I always seem to want more bass...que the second driver...another month and it's new more powerful subs...cant seem to stay satisfied. Now it's larger subs. Next it will probably be a huge 6th order bandpass... I have issues

[@brutalbasspro]

My suv has a single 15 it’s not nearly as loud as 2 12s in my hatchback.

[@bradstrong3338]

Hey, what kind of sub and amp are you running? Is it a ported enclosure?

[@d77543020]

I think the 2 subs in a custom box might give a different result

[@BreakersStereo]

TRUE! The box we used were not to exact specs because there is no way we were able to put a 5 cubic foot box without building it into the truck... so for most people that's not a viable option so we decided to use what most people would do. We actually did a video on the mojo pros in a custom box built to the exact specs and it did 143 db in a chevy trail blazer!! (which is a completely different application) But yeah you are correct they would do better in a custom box if it was made to exact specs.

[@commonsenseisdeadin2024]

At best it would match, But I doubt it. You will experience more rise with the dual box (Typically), They are naturally higher resistance D4 vs D1 and motorforce along with xmax. .Better box will yield better results but I think 99/100 times the double rated single will beat dual half rated.

[@Luminous.Dynamics]

From personal experience, no matter the brand, its always sounded deeper and just better in my cars with one badass subwoofer vs 2 mid grade subwoofers. Like with sundown for example, 2 sa-12 vs one zv5 12, the single 12 is just so much nicer. But thats just my ears

[@brianmiller7049]

I feel like the two was under power and should have went with 3k Memphis amp. Would be a good updated video anyways

[@jdon09]

I’m debating on two 12” vs one 15” @ 1500 watts . All the beans to a better 15” or 750 X 2 to two lesser power handling subs. This was a great test.

[@ttmn_Dom]

love the interesting content and a very realistic comparison, honestly. Quick and to the point! I'm completely torn with what to use in my Jeep Wrangler from the garage shelf: (1) 10W7AE, (1) Rockford 12" P3, (2) Custom DD Audio 2508s, (3) DD 608s or lastly (2) 12" Kicker Q-Class L7s. Amp options: DD M3C, M1D and a Skar RP2000.1....so I'm stuck building boxes for the next 3 months as I can get the extra funds lol. Subscribed.

[@robsmadisoncollegework5446]

Very interesting test! I wonder if the result is from the fact that you’re trying to push more air with the same amount of power.

[@kngperbs2991]

Never mind, just found a video done by you, spoke to soon, Thanks...

[@MainsOnPointMedia]

Depends on the box design, not wattage

[@bradstrong3338]

I have tried to figure out whether I should go with a premium 12 or 2 mid level 12's for my 2006 yukon xl denali. Thanks for this video!

[@knikkaknikk86]

Soundqubed hdx3 12

[@MemphisMojo15s]

I got 2 Mojo 15's. I wanna comment before i watch this. I am pulling for the single Mojo because i had a single Mojo for a couple of months and it was loud to say the least. Now to watch the video and see the results.

[@treywilliams8508]

Ive seen people hit 140+ DB with one Mojo Pro, maybe if you guys learned how to build custom boxes, then youd have some good "accurate" tests. I guarantee if you built a true to-spec box for each, the 2 MJP's would stomp that single OG.

[@62dobie]

I have 2 of the OG MOJO 1212 in my car as you watch this video. It hits hard as fu@k with the right amp. You can't under power them. They will perform with a power amp. Trust.

[@BreakersStereo]

For sure! Thanks for the comment Big Lou

[@NavyCook08]

Is it okay/safe to overpower them like giving 1 12" MOJO 2000 watts vs. Giving 1 sub 1500 watts RMS?

[@Monsta2592]

Depending on what your doing if you going for load and not quality more is always better

[@BreakersStereo]

True!

[@kngperbs2991]

Single Memphis MOJO1212 12" subwoofer is a better speaker and it's practical. Have you done a comparison of the JL Audio 12W7AE-3 subwoofer versus any of the top dogs out there? I haven't seen one yet. Would greatly appreciate it if you could do a JL Audio 12W7AE-3 subwoofer competing. BTW, great content Breakers Stereo & Performance.

[@johndough4338]

...the JL w7 is a great subwoofer. And it's probably one of the speakers that started off companies making super woofers, but in this day in age, there are a lot of woofers out here that will outperform a JL w7. I still give the JL audio w7 props for sound quality, and if you are looking for pure sound quality, then JL audio is a great option for subs and amps. But if you are looking to get loud, and low, or louder & punchy, their are other options out there, and cheaper. The vehicle is one thing, and the set up in that vehicle is the other main thing. If you got the right setup, in the right vehicle, the equipment will only make up a small percentage of the outcome of that system.

[@kngperbs2991]

@@johndough4338 I agree, I have a 2018 Camaro with a single 12" Sundown Audio 4-ohm DVC X-12 V.2 D4 1500 RMS with a audio control LC-1.1500 amplifier in a custom 2.5 cu. ft. ported box. I also tried out a JL audio Stealthbox 12" W6v3 powered by JL Audio XD600/1v2 amplifier. I ended up switching and going with the JL Audio 12" setup. The 600RMS JL Audio 12" setup outperformed a 12" 1500RMS Sundown Audio. I couldn't believe it. N yes, JL Audio is pricey, but definitely worth it.

[@brianmiller7049]

[@1Pueblito]

The Mojo putting in work, great vid.

[@isaacgarcia5061]

What do you recommend for a double cab truck 4 mojo mini's 8's or 2 mojo pro 10's ?

[@downhilldaddy5282]

Get the 10’s

[@fleuriejeanpierre]

I would definitely go with two subs cause I'm sure I could push abit more power through them if they are quality subs hense more output and power... I think 🤔

[@downhilldaddy5282]

I’m old school. Two 12’s for me 💪🏾

[@tamaran1979]

I just ordered two sets of the six and a half in the factory box yesterday and I looked on KZbin and the RMS on the six and a half is 350 Max or they burn up has anybody put them to that test within your company

[@BreakersStereo]

We’ve use them in the prefab boxes and they sound good for what they are….6.5

[@lawr3nc3mann84]

Single MoJo 15 with six five 2200 for my two door Tahoe is my choice

[@BreakersStereo]

Yes sir! Great set up

[@daviddurham2270]

I want to know what db 2 of the singles turned into a double would produce

[@damienriggs2691]

If the box is out of spec for the dual setup that will also effect spl numbers. 🔊🔊

[@BreakersStereo]

True. We should have used another car where we could’ve put a larger box that would have fit the specs for those woofers. We did a video on those exact woofers in a custom box in the trailblazer and it did over 140 Db. We didn’t think this video through before we actually cut it. But we all sat down at the table and vowed to be more detailed when it comes to comparing products against each other or just reviews in general. Thanks for your comment

[@gassgames]

I've never gone single sub build but I have seen single subs that are rediculous.

[@BreakersStereo]

For sure!! Thanks for coming

[@mkloudsql3285]

Im a single sub kinda person... 1 good 15inch and im happy

[@RyanBassForLife]

Nice I like it!

[@theegreatest9322]

Are the Memphis mojo 12s still worth the price or should I jus go wit the Memphis viv14

[@nathanpowell1630]

Viv14 isn't a sub for SPL. It's purpose is to have as flat of a response as possible. The Viv line is primarily SQ

[@nateclark3245]

Is the memphis m7 12 inch subs any good

[@BreakersStereo]

Yeah that is a great sub. Hit hard but still very musical. Two of my teenagers have that sub in their cars… and with a custom box it sounds really good!!

[@tylercaraway8748]

Up your Amp to run 1200rms and your box to 3.5 cubic in per ft. You will run them 2 12,s harder than ever.

[@jameslawhorn146]

How many cubes would i need for two of the mojo pro 12s ???

[@paulgood2218]

Great video

[@BreakersStereo]

Thanks!!

[@philchristmas4071]

I like watching your content but something isn't adding up here. If both setups were built to spec, the cone area should have one this. Same power but twice the cone area always wins out. Now, maybe if you had a single 2500 rms subwoofer, I might believe this. Regardless both memphis subs are good products.

[@BreakersStereo]

Yeah the box was under for the dual 12. That’s why. I overlooked that…. We rushed this video and missed a few things. This video is relevant if you have a compact to mid size car that you can’t put a 5 cubic foot box in.

[@chrisbrown5466]

I think we all could agree that w7 is the standard when it comes to pound town

[@BreakersStereo]

W7 is a hell of a speaker!

[@joshholden8561]

W7 over priced alpine sounds better period. Also about 130 over priced for the new type r 12s

[@tordb]

I'd rather have SQ than just loud noise

[@jg792]

How many watts were the subs pushed in this video? What amp ?

[@BreakersStereo]

Memphis PRXA1500.1. 1500 watts RMS x1

[@jedpetersen3806]

Not an accurate test and comparison there are so many more variables that weren't stated or accounted. If you're going to do these vids stop misleading people.

[@BreakersStereo]

We didn’t mention box size and specs true. We’ll try to cover more in feature videos. What else would you have mentioned ?

[@jedpetersen3806]

@@BreakersStereo Port tune frequency, port diameter, impedance rize at said frequency, true wattage at frequency and fs of the driver's. Try to make all things equal. Unfortunately no driver is equal to another and each one may perform better in some frequency's than another along with box volume and tuning to optimize each drivers performance. Then and only will you achieve an accurate comparison after all it's the driver's ability that is in question. If you really want to get picky do the test in an anechoic chamber but that's easier said than done😂. Sound has been my passion for 25 plus years and I really enjoy the educational videos like yours because we need more people into this field but there's to much misleading info floating around and that serves no one any good. On that note keed up the videos. I hope my rant wasn't too windy😎

[@BreakersStereo]

Thanks so much Jed I appreciate all this info. I Just screen shot your reply here so I can reference it for the next woofer/box video. Your knowledge here is invaluable. Depending on the video we try to consult with experts before we shoot. I’d love to get your contact info if we ever need you in the future. It you’re interested email me your info.
