Great review showing a few more dollars for a sub that will take more abuse.. And he'll yea to Big Jeff Battery running almost 10 min and didn't even drop a volt. Parker The Bass head with another great video.

[@ayeajjj]

Bro send him a Trinity H series 12” to review pleaseee🤣

[@ericpearl5874]

Been running 2 E-1244s at 1 ohm on a Taramps for over three years. No problems. Parker, you were my inspiration to get back into it.

[@Angel_xXx_76]

I purchased 2 12” Hawks. Super impressed with the quality and value. They take the power and get low. 4.6 cubed box tuned at 33Hz.

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

I love the hawks! 💪🏼💪🏼

[@ezioassassain]

​@@ParkerTheBassheadcan u do a video on the vfl stealth amps some people say the power they put out is less than advertised

[@evilinside5984]

@ParkerTheBasshead- You setting the DX on that hat, smothered the pole venting= bad news. For future testing, to be fair to the MFG., make sure the pole venting can breath. The other sub= XD had a bumped/extended pole, with recessed perimeter venting, that allowed some venting. Im sure the XD would last longer, or with more power, but keeping test procedures/conditions as equal as possible, helps take out as many variables as possible, to get more factual results. Thanks for taking your time to make these videos.

[@claybob7729]

Yeah I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed this. I agree 100%

[@evilinside5984]

@@claybob7729- We don't know how much power was actually being given to these subwoofers, but 9+ minutes, being smothered= I can't believe the DX didn't blow in less than a minute= kudos to American Bass!

I feel smart

Came here to say the same thing, gotta allow for venting

I subscribed yesterday I'm extremely happy to have found this channel really going to help me out when I get my car

[@technicianumber1288]

American bass is very underrated, I'm just finishing up a build in my Legacy with 8 15s and of course with American Bass woofers. Very good bang for the buck

[@ezioassassain]

sound quality is amazing aswell in the perfect box my 15 hits every note so beautifully

[@EthanMiller-z8z]

You should pick up the resilient sounds gold v2 soon. I’ve got my eye on them but they’re relatively new so not a lot of reviews

[@BfootKain]

This why i love ya vids man answering all my questions haha

[@chelle315]

I have the DX-12, I'm very impressed that you went over 600 watts which is what it's rated at. 300 RMS continuous, so for it to last over 9 minutes makes me happy I bought it. That airy sound is strange, mine doesn't do that. Anyways, great vid!

[@cjlgarage4569]

I just picked up a XD 15” and with 170 ounce magnet and 3 inch Voice coils this thing is pretty impressive at 150$ .I also have a DX 10 (44$) and outside of the smell it’s a great sub.

[@mootine2007]

Hi Parker. Just wondering what sub you have been most impressed with since you have tested many different subwoofers. I'm interested in 2 x 15 inch subs in the 3000 to 5000 watts range. Im talking about subs that have taken everything you've thrown at them. 😊

[@ResilientSounds276]

@parkerthebasshead why don’t you ever review Resilient Sounds? Just curious

[@evilinside5984]

The American Bass Elite series is their Best Bang for the Buck, imo!

[@BfootKain]

Interesting i just bought 2 xd's on ebay for $259 lol supposed to be 500 max per pair i just dont know what amp to use

[@farmhousehamradio4774]

i had the xd in my single cab 1500 for about a year. had it run at 650 watts. beast of a budget banger. tuned the port to 38 hz and let her rip. Tonal quality wasnt great, but i loved the low growling type bass it produced. cant go wrong with this one. thanks for the review @Parker The Basshead

[@evilinside5984]

If you like Low freq., why did you tune so high, @ 38 Hz!?

[@farmhousehamradio4774]

@@evilinside5984 single cab truck....didnt wanna wiggle the interior apart. I needed a balance of low and mid since i was only running 1 sub. Hard to get low in such a confined space anyhow without having severe bandpass effect. So designed it to create less stress on the amp and also to get a little more punch on anything above 45 hz. Balance bro balance. If i had more room i probably would have tuned around 34. But it worked.

[@dontestuckey2200]

I’m currently running 2 XD 1244s on a WDX2k and they’ve been awesome no issues whatsoever they shake the house I just picked up 2 Hawk 1244s as an upgrade I can only imagine how different they will be

[@Handlethatineedtouse]

Hey Parker just wanted to say I love you videos and your inspired me to get into bass. Today I picked up my first sub which is a vxf 15. I don’t have a amp yet but I wil get there

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

That is awesome man! 💪🏼💪🏼🔊🔊

[@Handlethatineedtouse]

@@ParkerTheBasshead I know it was a great deal too I got in the sdr box and the sub for only 250. The sub is not blown has no damage and has only been used for a month. I couldn’t be more happy

[@michaelford4360]

Personally I think the best budget sub American bass makes is the elite . I have a 12 in dual 4 wired at 2 ohms on a 1800 watt kicker amp . It’s slams

[@rustybrown9829]

Thanks for the show. Always helpful. Keep doing awesome bro👍

[@chrisnunya7171]

If the Adire "Koda" sub I'm running now ever blows up, Im looking at gettin' me an American Bass sub. I think they look sweeeet! 💯🤘🏻

[@afriendlyguy2004]

150K by the end of the year. You can do it Parker!

[@InLoveWithBass1990]

I will say, a while back, I had 2 xd 10s in a very good box and they blew me away for the price range honestly

[@bobthebuildr626were5]

Hey Parker!, do you think you could compare ct sound lines of subs vs skars? Preferably meso vxf

[@scottbe1]

Not to mention both subs weren’t getting optimal cooling bc the pole vent wasn’t getting any airflow either!!! Surprised on the time for sure

[@Kuvexia]

I had a American bass XD 15 in a prefab on a boss 2400 watt and it had my rear glass flexing on a 2012 Buick lacrosse, people thought I had 2 15s in it with how hard it bumped

[@ithmiths]

I have a set of pretty rare amarican basses. They are the exact same thing as the dvc 15 at 500rms but its a svc, has the red stitch and the white basket too. Got em because they handle full range better and sacrifice a little lows.

[@deez26788]

the xd has been a bit of a budget sleeper for a long time. its often overlooked because of its looks but if you are strapped for cash its a great option.

[@matthewpeters2703]

I've had the xd12 for about a year, damn good sub for the money

[@sanj5026]

I'm thinking two 10 inches in a sealed, how you like the sound quality

[@quevicular]

Try that American bass dual voice coil on one ohm to see if you get a higher DB. It would be nice to do that comparison. Maybe do that on a lot of your other subs. 1 ohm, 2 ohm, and 4 ohm tests. It will add to your content

[@Chris-B-Bassin]

That was fun, they both lasted a lot longer than I thought

[@westreadwell9675]

I may be biased (Xv2 winner), but I truly love your show!

[@TarynMilnes1]

Should check out the new audio pipe 5 stack 12s that just came out!

[@BuddaDrifts]

hey parker ive wanted almost all of your videos lol and ive been wondering the main songs that u use to test all your subs within every sub test video u use the bacicly same songs can u tell me the main ones u use inlucing that eminem one with that low note

[@AngelTorres-rg7fi]

Hey both of the subs would have lasted even longer if you wouldnt of covered the bottom vents but awesome video.

[@95Sn95]

One thing most don't realize about dvc and a svc. If it's a 4 layer SVC then it's just a regular DVC that's been pre-terminated in a series configuration when it was built and soldered together. Why bother saving on a set of terminals and a cheaper spider with either one set of tinsels sewn in or Arial tinsels so they can use an even cheaper spider but that's the only advantage I can think of other than the the parameters may be more desirable in series...having tinsels on both sides is a better design tho it helps it stay more linier. If it's a 2 layer coil svc then it is just one coil.

[@ericpearl5874]

It kinda burnt up with the same load, btw. It gets more winding and heat dispersion.

[@legendarykickz040]

I have 2 12in titans, they hit really hard. I’m pushing them on a 2k watt amp

[@juanroque4452]

Either of those symuvs would definitely work for a daily build

[@jacoblynch8273]

Love american bass would love to see you do something w the king subs or the new godzilla it has a 18.

i own the dx and the xo and they are great budget 15's

[@nathanpressler9790]

I see you still got that 4512 in there 😅 slams dont it?

[@bojow8102]

For only 40 bucks more, I'd say it's worth it. More beef for the dollar with dual coils, ohms options, and power handling. Yeah, I'd save up another paycheck for the amount of extra you get 👍🔊🔊

[@Brandencarroll1]

Really wish you'd get a wireless mic, the audio is always so low on your awesome videos.

Great subs, but no T/S perameters listed is a deal breaker for this guy.

Can you do a video on the ct sounds Thermo

[@chriscuthbertson]

Two DX or one XD running of the same power (600W)? $158 vs $120

[@evilinside5984]

Don't get either, get the American Bass Elite 12", it is a banger, & it will sound better than both, & will handle 2x the power, for later on, when you get more power, & you will trust me😎 Also, it will still perform very well with 600 watts.

[@alexturner4312]

Hey man are you sure those are xds I believe thats the XO model

Doesn't matter except for the SPL test and if both were treated the same, it still doesn't matter.

[@Bassotronics]

Some companies are just pure confusion with the their model naming. DD audio is another clusterfuk.

[@kylevanwinkle2081]

DD is pretty simple the higher the number the higher the line. Only think that's even remotely confusing is comparing the china made line to the USA line 500

[@evilinside5984]

DD Audio has a 1500, 2500, 3500, 9500, & 9900 line of subwoofers, whats confusing about that?

[@anubisprince36]

Why do you have such a low score with so much power?

[@evilinside5984]

Because trying to pressurize a parking lot is hard to do= Lower scores. Its a very Large Suv= much harder to get higher Db scores. I did a direct test, same amp, box, sub= a 144.1 Db in my trunk of a 2dr. Car, took everything out, & put into a Large Suv like parkers= only a 139.9 Db= i Lost over 4 Db. And my new vehicle= the Large suv, had a better electrical system= bigger Alt., better/bigger battery, & better wiring, so the amp was even making more power, & i still lost over 4 Db!

[@anubisprince36]

Covers the pole vent and wonder why it dies 😂😂😂😂

[@evilinside5984]
