[@woodrowmcdonald2907]

Old man here: I remember when I used to sell 500w RMS subs in the 1990's and they were "monsters" ! I liked how this sub handled itself and I bet it would be great for anyone who is only needing to handle 500-700 watts. On the flip side, I think Planet Audio and a few other brands out there are really cheap and you could get two woofers for $140 and throw 1000 watts at them. It's all up to the user.

[@kylez2141]

American bass 15s are going for 150 nowadays... 1000w rms 2000w peak ive seen em take up to 3500 in bursts

I have 2 of these 10s, 2.5^3 32hz box and they actually sound absolutely incredible and get very low. I am feeding them with an APHD-30001-F2 3k amp and they take it all day. I personally recommend these subs to anyone.

[@workingclassperson2124]

What’s your Power supply. You make have a 3k amp but unless you have the electrical to allow the amp to make its rms power your probably only getting 1000 watts or so from the amp witch is why your subs are still going. You just saw him kill the sub in a day on a lil over 1000 watts. So it’s nice that you like these subs but talking about the size of your amp without telling what your power supply consists of is only telling half the story. And if your on stock alternator and battery your taxing the heck out of your electrical and something will give out eventuality. Personally I spent 2200$ on my 250 amp alternator and 2 XSpower D7500’s

[@buddybmb3075]

@@workingclassperson2124 if you call 1700watt plus a Lil over 1000 go ahead. He reached a Lil over 1900 watts playing low hz when it finally started smoking. The sub is 1200 watt max, 600 rms. Playing 1200 rms at 40hz is okay for a few seconds rather than 1200 rms at 20hz on a sub. Not saying it won't play 20 hz but if I was gonna play 20hz I wouldn't be pushing damn near 2k at a 600 watt rms sub. That's just asking for it to blow🤦

[@workingclassperson2124]

What’s your power supply if your on stock power supply your not getting anywhere near 3k watts not even 1500. I love that people will talk about there “big” amps and never mention there power supply. Cause it’s only what makes your amp make power can’t make 3k on a 90 amp alternator with one Duralast battery for example and 0 gauge is only good for maybe 2200 watts so double them up ALONG with the ground wires. Free advice that will actually help.

This guys criteria for great subs is just power handling and SPL. He never mentions low frequency dig or frequency range. I’d rather have a sub that plays 30Hz-80hz at 136-140db flat. Than a sub that hits 142 db at 45Hz with 3000 watts but the frequency response looks like a camel back across the spectrum.

sub what handles it's rms power without problem + handles double of it's rms power with power peaks 4x the rms power for minutes + both tests in a relatively non-matching box + souubds like this = good sub in my opinion

[@cliffordmcgraw8740]

I agree. I ran mine on a Smart 3 at 1 ohm for months no issues at all was giving the pair over raited daily no failures and i think this is just a bad representation of the woofer. Wrong box wrong tuning and port area. Think things would have been different in a correct box. Im not a ds18 guy by any means but i used them to show them off for a local shop in my civic and did a 148.8 with the pair.

[@PBasschannel]

@@cliffordmcgraw8740 yeah...the representation is divisive...i mean, how you look at it: if it sounds like this in a mismatching box + takes 2x it's rated rms power for minutes, then it is really good sub...but on the other hand a representation like this not showes what could do this sub in a box what is optimised for it...i did a similar thing with my gladen rs-x 6.5, just even in the most possible extreme way: i attached it to my logitech z623 sub's box with a flat cord - basket outside, the wire i pull out from the port - obivously the box and the amp is totally mismatching for that gladen sub - it sounded just average in my room with hearable port noise - worse like the original driver, but sounded suprisingly good in car without port noise (bass outperformed the port noise) - even somewhat better like the original driver...and then of course i made a proper box optimised for it (vids on my channel)

I’d recommend upgrading you alternator and getting some batteries or just keep buying more expensive subs you can’t power on stock electrical. A good Alt will cost about 3-500$ and an XSpower battery can range from 250-700$. Or stay on stock electrical get a 600 watt amp and get a pair of woofers that will fit in your vehicle in a ported box that are 2-300 rms each. Takes power to make power and it’s not cheap to get lots of electrical power to feed amps over 1500 watts.

Hell no. I hate to say it but unless you take out half or both of your rear seats if you have the extra cab or crew cab your kinda stuck for sub sizes but If you just got a single cab... 8’s or 10’s in a sealed box. Shallow mount subs are a last resort but 800$ on one shallow mount sub I’d rather get good door speakers

[@beerich9246]

What about the ds18 Hooligan 15 inch sub

[@terrenceclark6452]

Parker would you get American bass or DS 18 brand

[@Chuck_Sanders]

I don't brand bash, but I would stay away from DS18 products. All of their products are way over rated, from their amplifiers to their speakers and subwoofers. Bob sells good products at American Bass.

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

It’s depends but generally American bass

[@LowetheTechGuy]

I would love to see Resilient sounds gold's vs Savard Hi-q vs whatever. I think I want 2 Hi-q 12's and a smart 5k.

[@workingclassperson2124]

If your gonna get and amp over 1000 watts your stock electrical will need to be upgraded or your just wasting money. Takes power to make power.

[@LowetheTechGuy]

@@workingclassperson2124 oh yes of course. Thinking dual 2/0 alt to BATT then quad 2/0 to 3k or 5k. With fuses of course. Just trying to see if 2 Hi-q could handle the power or if I should just stick with a bass 3k?
