The Ultimate Bass Sweep Torture Testing Sundown Audio 8" Subs - Major Excursion Inside!

visit: www.stevemeaded... and join our forum!
These subs came back as a return and i think i heard someone in the office say they didn't fit the customers box. These 8's are beefy! They were packed loosely and had foam all over them. One was upside down in it's box. So i took them out for testing. Seems like they are still working well! All i need to do now is figure out a good way to give them away. Leave a comment, let me know what you think and maybe i will do it! Or maybe i will just give them away to two random people i choose in the comments. Stay tuned! Thanks for watching if you did!

I'm a simple man,i see SMD post a video and i hit the like button immediately then i watch the video. You know its always gonna be awesome before you even watch it.

[@meade916]

thanks a lot bro i appreciate you.

[@djphelps9411]

My 7yr old son loves watching your videos and asked me to comment to give him a chance at getting him a new sub from his (our) favorite audio guy, he has an 8" base line skar that he absolutely loves, and I built him a box for. To have a sub signed by you would make him smile from ear to ear for a long time, and personally, I wouldn't even care if it was one of those or a weaker/ cheaper subwoofer, I just know he would love to have one sent to him by you that you signed. I could post a paragraph or better just telling you what all he has learned about subwoofers from you, but the short version is, he asks me every time I see him if you have a new video out yet. So keep on going man, you have fans of all ages keeping up with your videos 😊

[@Chad-lu1sf]

You never cease to put out Slappin content. Thank you Brother, for being an ambassador of the Thump.

[@DJOBLIVIOUS941]

I love how you're always so honest, need more people like you In the world, that's why all of my fuses and blocks, ground distribution blocks, and speaker terminals are SMD, i've never had an issue with them, after seeing them subs move would be nice to pick up some for under my F150s rear seats.

[@Jerryberry172]

Fair way would be allowing myself to build a box and install them in my truck because I’m totally curious about 8” subwoofers and I live 10 minutes from your shop and I’d be so appreciative in which shipping would cost nothing! I’ve been to your shop store before and your wife was helpful and awesome enough to bring you from the back so I could meet you. Thanks for what you do for us stereo fiens!

[@PhxSt0rmz]

I ran the X8 V3's for a few years in a Chevy Spark. 2 of them, small car, Box tuned for around 32hz, inverted. Those things performed beyond well! Easily hit loud below hearing range and just feel your body vibrating. In such a small vehicle, I wasn't even running them maxed out, maybe 1400W on the pair at most, and they were able to make glasses vibrate off your face. Was super impressed 2 8" subs could sound like you're running insanity back there. Anyone I showed the system two ( who wasnt a basshead ) swore I must be running dual 16's or something and was super pissed when they saw 8" subs out performing their gigs xD

[@Derrick.12]

I'd say a random comment selector, buuuut that person also has to be subscribed to your channel. That's the only way that seems fair to me. That's one amazing little sub.

[@kris-english]

Winner pays shipping. I love how far you've come my brother. Much love from England 👌

[@jschaffer116]

Just signing them increased their value. 😊 Can’t wait to see who wins these!!!

[@jay_shipes]

Definitely just a random subscriber willing to pay shipping

[@bigfordmano5]

I want these in my 97 single cab powerstoke. Signed by the man himself. Been watching you for years. Haven't had a system in years. Ain't nothing like bumpin 🤤

[@soulshaper6137]

Best comment of how they will be used or what they will be put in. What's crazy I don't know how many times I've seen people win stuff like this then instantly see it posted for sale or put them up on a shelf in a garage and leave them for dead when there's actually some of us that would admire and enjoy these monsters I'm sure Steve feels the same way. Anyway love the content man keep up the amazing work and I hope everybody has a blessed day!

[@InkBunnyBlindRabbit]

Always making beautiful stuff and Doing things right! Love these in my old Dakota

[@KentuckyBrothersGaming]

I got 4 12s in my dakota nice knowing I'm not the only one lol

[@pro100torch]

Спасибо за то что 15 лет назад показал автозвук) до сих пор в этой теме и не жалею) удачи мужик!!

[@jeffwallace8437]

my brother David has suggested i get a pair of 8's for years but i always revert back to 12s and 15s. I recently purchased the kicker 12s pair of comp r's for my lil camry daily driver and it slams decent.. I thought it would be kool if I won them i would give him the sub for his dream car cadillac he recently acquired... He recently just put vogue tires on the stock wheels and this sexy looking sub would really compliment his trunk area ( next to the golf clubs of course) .. I know it would make him happy to have this sub inverted on display... cheayh, oh and thanks for all the years of entertainment Steve!

[@dirkjanvandermeijden4479]

find someone who is starting with car audio, invite him, set it up with him and make a video of it and the camera right on his face at the first bass that smile makes everyone happy

[@AdamJYost]

Help me! I’ve been drooling over these subs for the longest, and I just purchased a SIA 2500d so these would be perfect! Also I love your video’s. Watching your channel has gotten me back into car audio.

[@israeltorres4109]

I will definitely pay shipping and make sure to tell everyone that Steve Meade is the man!

[@1904audio]

Everybody already knows that Steves the man

[@avnut5517]

They are now better than new... We know they work perfect. Edit: I could swing by and pick them up at zero cost to you😁

[@jamesstewart6805]

I just fixed my brand new volt meter I got from you ,had to solder the wires back on can send a pic if needed I got it done and I love the triple gauge cluster I have an output meter on each side and the voltmeter in the center.

[@brianbates89]

Crazy almost 15 years ago one of your videos inspired me to save up my money and go out and buy subs and and a amp to annoy my parents. (2 kicker l5 15s and Rf t500-1bd) Here i am almost 30 and still bumpin! But Im down to 2 sundown 8s now.😂 Glad to see the progress on the channel keep it up my man🤟

[@bomszanka]

I'm a fan from Poland. I've never had two monsters like that. I would be happy if I won.

[@LDrako420]

The subwoofers lol i can only imagine, appreciate the vids! Been subbed for 14+ years big up from the UK

[@sickjohnson]

Most impressive Steve, those Sundown 8" subs were moving man!

[@scottb.1946]

Another awesome woofer test I started with 2 sundown sa8v2 Now I’m running 1 x18 Sundown good bass for the buck I would pay for shipping and set up another friend with some killer 8’s Thanks Steve for great content

[@moboom96]

I would love on of those. Those are moving lol I haven't had subs in a while. I've been watching your KZbin channel for like 10 years or more. Keep up the great work.

[@gsxroyce256]

A fair way would be make them pay shipping. Unfortunately also keep the give-away inside the USA to keep from shipping through customs and all that headache. Hope my idea gets me the win. Edit: I see others has this idea already. So another idea to make it fair, is you could do channel history trivia. Ask questions about events from older videos. That way your older videos will get more views as people look back through videos for informations to win. And loyal loyal followers may remember and know the answer. The most loyal can win and you grow from the extra views.

[@B.F633]

Wow that was sum major flexing, I've always enjoy your window boom boxes. I'd say it would be an honor winning your giveaway."Pretty pennie"

[@ashrafak11]

I have a better way, see who is watching you the furthest, I am following you since about 10 years from all the way in Jordan! See who is following you the longest and furthest from you and let them win!

[@magrumb]

Aw man, my son Zander turns 16 this coming January and is a huge fan of my X12v3 in my car. He would be ecstatic to be able to start with 2 X8v4s from the man himself!

[@traviskline1893]

I got 2 8in xv3s and they hit hard in my truck, wanna get 2 more. Great vid again SMD. Bass on, peace.

[@chrisallen3671]

Those subs are badass! Someone is about to be happy. Thanks for another great video Steve.

[@marioaragon9713]

I have exactly the same amp for my lows and Audio Control D6.1200 for my mids and highs. Awesome amps.

[@Alpate_audio]

The excursion on those subs is UNREAL!!! Got damnnnnn

[@iamthemaninde]

Would love to do these in my wife’s Rogue . Keep the awesome content coming 👍🏻

[@patriot4547]

SMD for the WIN!🙌🏻 Sundown subs are just BadAss! I actually have a box built for those subs ready to go. Thanks for the video brother. 💯🇺🇸

[@bassheadpolska9493]

If someone is not from US or so and wins just let your viewers know first that those have to pay for the shipping or decide to choose someone else (and give that person some $) 🤔

[@vinniemartinez6125]

I've been watching your shows for a very long time. Your actually the one who got me into liking Rockford Fosgate audio so much back when you were showing the audio system you had in your Tahoe. So I've been watching your shows for a very long time. Where is your shop located at? I might want to have you do my install in my 07 Yukon Nali

[@bobbyackerson4125]

If you've been watching for any amount of time like you said then you would know he doesn't do installs for people only his personal stuff

[@MrDopey32]

Only giveaway I've ever won in my life, was my 4 children and the fact I wake up everyday❤ I was super close to winning once back when you did the giveaway when doing the $140.00 install for Jay Byrd 😊 I only mentioned half of the required answer, man I was mad at myself, but it just wasn't my time to win. I appreciate everything you put out here with all your content Steve! P.s, remember my comment on the burning RV video. Lol

[@Ol_Dude_Macabre]

Damn those things are thic.. If I win, can I get GranMaMa’s lamp cord from the Chevelle build? 😂 One of the funniest moments on the channel 😂❤

[@thebigrandy321]

I was looking at getting some sundowns for my truck since the factory sub was removed when I got the truck. I would drive out so you could get the content of installing in my ram 2500. So, sounds like a win win to me. I get subs you get more content for videos.

[@mutatedgenome]

These 8s are badass. The 12s I had back in 1990 weren't even this swole.

[@williamswaney9240]

I have (2) v3’s and they’re definitely beast mode!! Running 3k to the pair also. Great video Steve as always, your distribution blocks are top-frick’n-notch btw👍💪🤜

[@Rogerraybemsleyjr]

I’m still window shopping for my next setup. Got my box maker picked out now I’m just looking for a couple subs. If I won these would have to mount them inverted 😅 👌🏽 show off the autograph ✍️

[@donaldgreene463]

build a box, add an amp and hook up a young teen up in his first car. bring bass back to this new generation!

[@Gr1mTh3R34p3r]

I would definitely love to have just one of these subs im a big sundown audio fan I have a dv4 sundown audio x8 v3 wish I had a dv2 but great video these subs can take a beating

[@michaelprentice2014]

Gotta s10 just one would be awesome never had a sundown sub

[@marlboroman71818]

my vote is for you to pick whoever you feel deserves them and we can all congratulate the winner. You could do customers that have your products already also. I currently have the dd1, cc1 and a couple of fuse blocks Ive used to tune my current system which is still a work in progress. 2021 F350 dually with a nav-tv A2B interface, sundown 12" zv6 D1 that I'm trying to figure out a better box for without taking out all the rear seats, jp33 for sub power and an audiocontrol d6.1200 with infinity kappa perfect mids and highs im gonna build a pillars for. Wouldn't mind trying the D4's out and compare them to the zv6 for output. Cool for you to give them away to someone who would enjoy them.

[@WilliamSmith-qo6vw]

Love your videos! As always very knowledgeable, been hooked on your channel since “ side mirror snaps from bass”. I still can’t get my car to pound like that 😂😂.

[@arthurhughlett2292]

I know 99.9% of the time Steve wouldn’t review a product if it was bs,but I wish I could get his honest off camera opinion of a brand

[@sgtgarcia488]

Give them away to veterans specially a marine veteran with combat experience I’m just saying you the man Semper fi

[@bassboostedd8220]

Wild I didn't hear it bottom out at all 💪🏾

[@thechegoelizondo]

Wowww amigo aún recuerdo tu primer Suburban y luego el Lexus siempre me han gustado tus vídeos desde hace mucho tiempo sería excelente un regalo así saludos desde mexico

[@HellTriX]

Would be fair to send it up here to Portland Oregon and I can put it in my other halfs new car. We had a nice 3 hour drive trying to keep the volume just below the distortion level as the door speakers were trying to play bass.

[@bubbawubba2307]

Another great video. I bet 2 of those would get down in a gately box. I would use a computer program to randomly select the winner

[@jakobmontiel2987]

Steve! We need a review on the new Audio Control speakers and woofers, I’m tempted to try them but I need an honest review from the legend himself

[@jd440]

Do a raffle. I'm assuming you are shipping them as a pair....do 1.00 an entry. First 800-900 people (USA residents only), get a chance to win it. Or charge .50 and open it up to 2000 people. This way it covers the cost of the subwoofer and shipping. One entry per person only.

[@BrandoCrume]

Forget shipping them, I'll drive from San Jose to pick them up. Would love a demo.

[@LovesM855A1]

Id like to buy the subs and amp Sir signed if you would?! Awesome lil setup, me and my son are huge into bass and audio but because of some issues Ive had I haven’t had to cash for us to play and spend quality time hooking up equipment or building boxes…… we are huge fans Meade so thank you Sir! The fact you would consider giving something that nice away shows you have a big heart ….. you’re a inspiration to us Sir

[@maddhatter4233]

On your give a way items have the winner cover the shipping cost and then they can decide if it's worth it or not

[@MikeAnnunziato]

Just have the winner pay shipping I mean they still are getting monster 8s that are signed by the man himself

[@teknikalvette]

Great video, love these subs. Love the channel. Keep up the good work.

[@AaronTexeira]

GIVE AWAY IDEA - Like the Canon Ball Run, whoever gets to you first! lol

[@jimmyjam5588]

Anyway would be appreciated those are some beastly subwoofer though.

[@youtubefunnies]

I have the same 8s. I have 6 in a ford ranger. I love them over my 12s

[@RealPivotTV]

I really like these

[@MrAnderson5157]

Straight spider slappin'! SA are beast mode!

[@YourLocalJohnDeere4020]

good shit man keep the bass bassin

[@bigwill350uk]

Would love to see someone do a build in a Tacoma with these, given the cab space for let’s say a ‘21-23 TRD Pro and see what they can do to no only make these fit, but the difference in the reference JBL system and just how ridiculous these would be in that setup…

[@MrPlayadd]

Just started Learning about car audio will love to HV a speaker

[@johnnypiper1717]

Nice jus scroll through and randomly pick the winner. Winner pays shipping easy peasy

[@joerunge3915]

You could go where you would expect to find someone starting to build their first system like a car audio store or best buy or something. Then wait until you see the right person to give them to them.

[@HakAtIt]

I would say the person post their use for it, what their install plan is. Specifically box design and all, so you know they actually have a use for them and they don't end up on a shelf somewhere. Plus it might give you and opportunity to build the box for them ( gets you another video) or at the least, check the dimensions and if it's going to fit/ sound right. Something along those lines.

[@Isaac_Eyegee]

Sundown audio Man I’ve heard the Sa8 v2s and they sound great especially when In a tuned box Id Love To Have the Chance to get my hands in one of These X8s! 😮

[@KentuckyBrothersGaming]

I would love these subs. I'm having trouble with my subs I have rn and need new ones. There real cheap ones, but gotta start somewhere. Great video. A good way could be a raffle but the money goes to a charity for disabled veterans or veterans in general

[@Argedis]

I didn't even know Sundown came out with a V4 X8!

[@christippin6244]

I'm still experimenting. In my opinion 12s are the best of both punch and sub but 8s may do just the trick in bringing more punch to my 18s dominant system

[@jessebrown7148]

I like the generator idea.

[@Bluecuban71]

Killer subs 💯 One day I'm going to have a pair of 18s

[@gmacmachuri1217]

1000rms sub handling 1800rms sweep like a boss....sundown fire

[@lambertleigh2724]

Damn brotha... That be awesome too..build a box.. for these in my lil Equinox...🚙💨🔊🔊

[@seyyes9709]

Great subs from a good dude! I would love to have for my mazdaspeed3 but I live in Virginia. I say keep it local this time. I think that would be fair. 😢 But seriously, thanks for all you do.

[@geraldhunt7365]

Samsung MASSIVE T.V. The Wall 110" and 146" these TVs have beautiful pictures😳

[@sparco317]

Looks like a decent driver. Only thing that worries me is the tension on the leads during full stroke. Can see them bending right at the bolt joint

[@philhartman9531]

come on man ive been with you since the beginning i even got your advice before and you actually helped me on something dude my life is pretty bad atm this would make my world thanks

[@josephcampbell007]

I say a randomized drawing with the winner paying shipping. I mean they are pretty much brand new. You put them through the paces in the dyno bench, and verified that they are good to go. its basically buy on sub get one free the you have them pay for shipping. i would do that easily..

[@mpageaustin]

I would say outside of the 48 winner pays shipping, and maybe a program that just picks a random person either way great video and subs look awesome

[@edycalderon1282]

The winner pay the shipping 👍👍

[@AddisonTyus]

On the give away just do a small simple raffle where you have to pay like five dollars to enter. You would make the money back on shipping and still probably cover the cost of those subwoofers at the same time.

[@bobyblaccc30]

Man its hard shipping anywhere but the US ,if you live in the US 🇺🇸. I can't say its fair to not let anyone outside the US, not have a chance at winning. I mean if someone outside the US 🇺🇸 could pay at least half the cost of shipping, its still a great pair of subs. If I won, even living in the US, I would pay all the shipping. If I lived outside the US, I would pay half the shipping at least or more for them badazz subs. Just my thoughts. ❤

[@danielsegur86]

How about you give them to the first Dan in the comments (no idea if I'm the first Dan to comment or not) Never built a box from scratch before, but I've got the tools and the time to make something quality. No need to ship, ill pick em up....your boy is local.

[@jamesstewart6805]

Would love to incorporate them into my build just running two 12s at the moment

[@domingosantiago1560]

That’s a bad boy that can handle some power

[@bigdaddy6879]

I would stay to the lower 48 at least to save on shipping. Maybe do a numbers draw or a qualifying subscriber picture submission with a statement on how you would use them? Either way, keep rockin it man!

[@bryanwessel5046]

I would love to win one of these they would fit perfectly in my dodge.. never had sundown sub it would be a first...I live in Ohio if that helps the chances of winning..love your videos Steve..😊 keep them coming

[@Kaltsyum]

Big fan of small subwoofers. I’m looking to upgrade my dd audio 608 to more 1000+ rms sobwoofers. These sundowns would be best for me. But god, shipping to Estonia 😅

[@peterb6173]

its not fair to ship it 1000 of miles away or even 100s of miles. i wonder if that 8 hits hard than my kicker comp 10s oh wait just 1 10 comp cause i popped one last week lol. love the videos and maybe sell merch for a giveaway so at least you can retain your shipping costs at least. thanks brother for all the dope ass content! :)

[@alanutley3910]

Man I would enjoy these and the right one would go in on the shipping

[@chrispuckett1347]

Pick someone randomly who commented lol love the videos keep the content coming
