[@davidengland6741]

People only Hate on Skar Cuz they sell direct to keep the cost down! Sundown & other over priced companies have a middle man which in turn the price rolls on to the consumer!!! Do your research and you will find that Skar skv2 amps & Sundown amps come from the same building house and if Parker gets for instance the Skar skv2 200 . 4 look at the amp guts & you will see with your own eyes they are the same!!! Love your videos Parker keep up the good work

[@basslifexxl2391]

Parker doesn't like skar sundown want to be.

[@davidengland6741]

Over priced gear‼️ That’s all in saying about SkumDown 💯

[@basslifexxl2391]

@@davidengland6741 Oh i completely agree. Sayin Parker has shown what he really thinks and always says its not like a sundown or its not like what you would see on sundown. Comments like that. You can tell thinks alot of sundown and not so much skar. my whole truck is skar mids & highs & started with 150.4's too.

[@scottie6-573]

Skar amps are not exactly the same as sundown. The circuit design used by the the build house in China is a generic design used by many companies. The difference between brands is in the quality of parts used and options that can be added to the final product like bass knobs, clip lights, type of race connectors etc. The fact they send out subs that dont even have the push terminals on straight tells you what kind of quality your getting. Their products may perform well but the clock is ticking on the amount of time they will be functioning. Skar straight up copies sundown designs and overall appearance and tries to get customers based on sun sundown's deserved reputation. Extremely shady business practices, I wouldn't support that company for any reason.

[@davidengland6741]

I have 1 VXF 15 on a md8k & it bangs! Going to order more in the near future!👍🏁💪

[@markjones3282]

That’s what I been trying to get is a skar vxf they are bad ass love the video my guy

[@therobb5738]

Apparently I'm an SQ guy. I love the lows. Everything 30 hertz and under. Didn't realize till now SPL run higher HZ.

[@lowhertzhighspl]

BTW, having the rear interior panel removed decreases a 1/2 dB or so because the sound waves become trapped inside all of those holes of the hollow body cavities. Need to keep setups consistent during dB tests. IMO the VXF has a BETTER voice coil. PD needs to keep comparisons unbiased by simply presenting the facts, eliminating the "I think.." or "IMO" or feelings overall because it's persuading the majority of viewers. I'd like for him to conduct tests like a scientist does. Google it if anyone is unfamiliar with the rules.

[@arcforceworld]

definitely looks to be a very nice budget banger. Gonna look into scoring a pair. Thank you for this video.

[@zacyoung7047]

Hell yeah glad you reviewed this sub as it's the same one I have, I'm only running it on an audiopipe 1500 tho and in a smaller box and it still beats hard in my trailblazer, I was really looking forward to the rms test as I'm looking to get a bigger amp and maybe another vxf in the future. Great video man keep them coming!!!

[@bailey2517]

What's the box size and tuning?

[@GTILOUD]

Zachary is it sealed? Ported n tuned in the 40 hertz range? Did you ever get a 2nd one?

[@bubbawubba2307]

That is very impressive on the amount of spl that sub had. Your box looks smaller than the prior videos? Subs handle more power and better for spl in small boxes.

[@ericmcginnis9413]

Roughly 20 Years ago stereo equiptment was quite different but, I ran a cadence electronic crossover because it offered a 7 volt line driver then 2 kicker 240 amp's into 2 fosgate H X 12'S now the amps had been mailed to kicker and rebuilt and from what I was told the pushed a hair more than factory but even still they probably only pushed 350-400 watt bridged down. I ran one duel 4 sub per amp at two ohm now I could have and probably should have ran a duel 1 but we hit 144 our first time in a competition and mind you, there was mad junk under the seat which makes me wonder what it really hit but when I hear 2800 watt I would expect higher #'s I guess! But back then things were alot different!

[@j-remy9832]

I just ordered 4 of these. Hopefully my custom box will be ready soon 🤞

[@ponokanaka]

Awesome video, happy 4th!

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

[@javiervaldez7980]

I wanna see the Skar DDX be put to the test I heard there very underrated and take a lot more power than what it’s rated at. Over good vid bro 🤙

[@redrebel5367]

Got a buddy with 2 DDX 12 in a custom box 1 ohm on a 2k amp . The subs get see about 1200 a piece due to him sitting at 14v . They definitely take the power and produce some serious SPL. Box costed more than the subs. But it's worth it with SPL subs .

[@xtrmbrazen6153]

These might be my next subs I get. I think it would be an upgrade to my orion xtreme 12d4. What do you think?

[@Basshead304]

I'm running 2 Rockville subs, but always looking around at different subs for when I upgrade

[@killer32620]

[@melruaboro6849]

wish SKAR would send 12" subs to Hawaii, I've been wanting to try a VXF 12 since I've seen it on your channel and others. there are some shops that sell SKAR 12s & 15s, but the mark up price here in Hawaii is crazy. Mahalos for all the awesome videos bro

[@kswis]

Hey thanks for helping me make up my mind on what skar sub to buy! Question for you though, of all the $200+ dollar 12"s what one got the lowest and sounded the best? I of course want it to pound me out my seat but don't want it to sound like crap doin it. It's a balance for sure just want to know what one you personally prefer . thanks hope you can get back to me n take care. Keep up the good work

[@xguy7577]

Since you are up near the 300 mark, maybe you can take a look at the savard hiq.

[@charliehavens7376]

Hey Parker, I loved my VXF Subs, It’s funny that you talked about how thin the basket is on some parts. Mine broke when i got rear ended. Left me with a spine injury so a pretty bad crash but honestly I never had trouble with the basket except when i got rear ended but I guess you can expect that on impact of a bad crash

[@joem1950]

@American_Fighter Yeah man its super thin, I rolled my truck over going down a 20ft hill the other day and mine snapped. Shit quality baskets tbh.... :(

The funny part is, if you get in a bad enough crash that it damages the basket, the sub probably wont be the biggest thing ur worried about.... XD

I had a single 12 on a RP2000 in a 2cu ported box in my Tundra. I don’t thing you could ask for more except another one and double power. Definitely a sq sub but holds it’s on on spl, just not as sting as Xcode, in that area!! Bottom line..you won’t be disappointed!!!

[@jasondauzat1619]

ZvX, not Xcode...freaking auto text...lol

[@kevinAuman1]

Parker why would you buy the dual 4ohm and not a dual 2ohm if you're only running one of them? Ya should have got the dual 2 and then even if ya add another one later on you can wire to a 2ohm final or half ohm which your amp should be stable down to half and able to extract the most power out of it wired that low

Please pay attention the TI basket 12" you cannot have really thick baffle. There's not really a lot of space from the mounting surface to the spider landings for the sub to breathe.

[@djshedd77]

Another thing that would tremendously up the "sq" factor of many of these subs is a high quality korean board amp. I went from the Skar SKv2 4500.1 to the BASS 12K and while the 12k is louder, it doesn't have the "depth" that the SK did, if that makes sense. It doesn't sound as "real"

[@Banshee421x]

Final some one that agreed with me. I removed a sundown sax 2500 for a taramps 3k it was loud but sound really bad. All bass tone sounds flat with no depth to the bass. Sundown sounds way better and it's 12 years old

[@miguelcruz9801]

You think that a skar skv2 4500 would handle two vxf 15ns fine or they would be underpowered?

It was a evil ass system 161.5 db my highest score ever from it. And music it pushed 159.8 which was nice but I never listen to music that loud I normally run rap songs in the 134 db to 141 DB ranges the 130s it sounds perfect ya know. The 140s on music is just to loud unless it a damn good song lmao. But anyway I'm doing a single 12" n my sub choices atm are the VFX 12 D2 , hcca 12.2 , sundown SA v2 , sundown X v2... And then the Skar Zfx or whatever it is the biggest Skar 12.. anyway those are the subs I'm choosing between
