A buddy bought some pioneer 12's from Walmart built a pretty big enclosure a little more than recommended to run in back of his Tahoe. He ran a soundstream tarantula 2400w 2 channel I won some years ago from a soundstream slogan contest. Anyway, those pioneers hit so stupid hard and loud. It was ridiculous how much bass output the would do. Eventually almost a year in they finally gave out. I'm sure they were in to big of box and over powered even though the soundstream probably didn't do rated, but definitely put some serious power out still. Point of the story never underestimate budget subs 😅👍

You seriously need to match Subwoofers into their recommended boxes, As Both Subs in this example actually required smaller Cabins, the Pioneer is best suited for a 1.5 cubic ft ported box for it to have a response down to 15Hz -3db point, the American Bass in the correct box, not sure what model, "Good for Ported or Good for Sealed" should be able to get as low as 19Hz at it's -3db point. You also need to measure how flat their frequency response is as well, also measure for any resonances, because not everyone is just interested in a Sub that just thwacks and thwacks until it's dead, some of us if not most prefer smooth clean unadulterated sensation, you know when you hear and feel it.

Basically if you want lows and spl go American bass! If you want a musical go pioneer

I enjoyed the video as always, but time to stop using them wood screws and put in the threads. Personally, I think the Pioneer looks better. But as we all know, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

This enclosure has threaded inserts, but they don’t match up for all the subs.

yeah American Bass all day. I can't stand those pioneer woofers, same ugly design for years with minor adjustments.

I'm going to have to choose American Bass over Pioneer

The sensitivity on the pioneer is prolly 89 while the ab is prolly 87 so actually the pioneer should have been hier db than it was I have had some of the pioneer subs I got to sell pioneer should never have put champion series on that model they downgraded the champion series badly and the big plastic is just a gimmick to make them look like their big spl subs no one should ever fall for gimmicks on subs hifi u really should try the new Sony subs they are really good sub beefy motors nice coils and the sound is really low.

Both subs are good for what they are but Americans Bass is a better sub😊
