I genuinely appreciate the support. I will hang this comment higher than any KZbin play button I may receive.

Ktruse - this is the funniest , most sarcastic, realistic, wittiest subwoofer review I have EVER had the disgusting pleasure of watching ! Andrew Diceclay and George Carlin must be super stoked !!! 5:42 5:42

Thank you! This was a great comment.

Best Amp I have ever owned is my JL Audio 500/1! I have used it in so many systems and rides for over 20 years with so many subs combos and currently with a single JL 10W3v3-4 that sounds out of this world!#JL Audio🔊👑✨

i have never struggled so hard to decide whether to like or dislike video. i liked it....

Just picked these up for my Camry. I will definitely regret this but love it at the same time.

Be sure to write your neighbors an apology letter in advance lmao but hope you enjoy.

Update?

[@Noob-jt4ju]

This deserves millions of likes and subs. Love the vid and the advice!!!! I’m inbetween the 10 or 12. I might get the 12 since I listen to a lot of rap and need the lows!!

Great review. I got a single 12 Inch w0v3 on the bass wedge behind my seat in a g35 coupe. Hits hard

[@ktruse5833]

Thanks for checking out the video! JL made something great when they designed the bass wedge box. I'm curious to see how the competitors loaded pre-fab enclosures compare.

[@jeffrothegamer]

how will one of these sound in a 2023 civic hatchback sport I have a P3 112 powered Rockford Fosgate looking to either get the pre-loaded 12 oh in the JL box will it carry better Lows .😊

[@bobcat3653]

​@@jeffrothegamer Do your self a favor , and just have a custom box built at 32 Hz for the Rockford - then go from there . Don't waste any more money on prefab boxes please . There's So Many videos of folks using even the Cheapest $40 subs in a great box with clean wattage . The results are amazing . That would be more bang for your buck in the long run , and quite frankly, I could Almost guarantee you'll be extremely happy

Just took one of one of my 12” w0’s and put it in a porter kicker comp box in my miata, let’s just say this sub hit’s slightly overpowered

[@bobcat3653]

Standing tuning nowadays for lows is 32Hz And for super loud , rattle your car apart bass - like in this video , is higher like around 42 -45 Hz . Have a blessed day , and Bass on !! 😂 5:42

[@headhoncho4890]

Had two 12 w0 s back in the day I had the best beat in the block.Now I have two kicker como c 12s and it just ain't got that sound Im looking for I bought one jl w0 and replaced one comp c and I'm working on another W0 they ARE an expensive brand but well worth it imao

[@CMOTC]

Had the single 10"... didnt dig low either so I ditched the box and built a new one. That one 10 was impressive for a 300w little guy.

[@gotshmoked1764]

damn, waiting on my custom box to come in for my dual 12 w1v3’s. this is gonna be a wild lol first time.

I got this box plus the single 12 in my trunk 🙂 itsa party in there. Great video

[@ktruse5833]

Thank you!

[@camerondunham5559]

Is it to much bass with the 2 12s I wanna get one but still wanna hear my music

[@plark7323]

@camerondunham5559 get a good amplifier with a bass knob and a good head unit with a Sub bass output. Then you can control exactly how much bass you want at anytime

[@plark7323]

@camerondunham5559 if your keeping the head unit stock then go with audiocontrol amp with those 12's

[@justinthematrix]

This sht funny bro. Kinda like a regular car review style video

[@johndesousa7379]

I wish I new what the box is tuned to. In my experience the subs are only as good as the box. If you want to hit the lower notes you have to design a box and tune it lower. Prefab boxes are normally not so great.

[@ktruse5833]

I agree, manufacturers should put ALL of the specs in the user manual, I couldn't find the tune of the box either. But it's just cheaper and easier to buy prefab if you don't have the space/tools to build a good box.

[@fourtwentybuddy]

I was under the impression it was tuned to 22hz (to 250hz) I set my dsp at 22 and it sounds great there.

[@bobcat3653]

​​@@fourtwentybuddyoh heck no buddy . I've never Ever heard of a prefab tuned that low ever never . Unless you made a typo , sir ?!! It might be tuned around 35 - 40 Hz ish Or possibly even a little higher like 43 Hz .

hello if the woofer is 600w rms and the amp is 500, how work this combo ? amp not get issues if the W is less than woofer ? thanks ps. what do you think 10 inch version (CP210) is ok as bass ?

[@mikeed3033]

Great video bro! I have the same exact fucking setup as you and I was wondering if you could somehow show me how your amp is tuned. I have mine tuned okay but it’s not shaking shit like yours is lmfao

[@ktruse5833]

Thanks for watching. Unfortunately I don't have the Amp anymore, but I'll try and pull from my non photragphic memory and remember how I had it set. I'm going to refer to where I had it set to the numbers on a clock. I believe I had input sensitivity at 3oclock, bass boost at a quarter turn from off, low end filter at 10oclock, infrasonic filter on, and also make sure the subs inside the box are wired down to 2 ohm. I don't really remember the other settings lmao there was too many for me. Hope this helps.

[@SnDJinX3D]

I have this same sub but it doesn’t shake my mirror near hard. I’m using the jd500/1 I have the gains set via multimeter but it’s just not hitting like every video I’ve seen Any suggestions ?

[@ktruse5833]

Take out the subs and check the wiring in the box to make sure there's not a loose wire and make sure it's wired down to 2ohm to get the 500 watt RMS. If it's not the wiring then I would try a different amp.

[@markmaese1599]

You have a higher quality car!

[@andrewgarcia4392]

I have a kicker CXA800.1 would that amp work for these?

[@ktruse5833]

Should be fine wired at 2ohm.

[@wes89]

Yeah disconnect the subs when setting levels... thats some basic shit man.

[@ktruse5833]

Make sure to let everyone know that when you make your video. You've uncovered some unknown knowledge you should pass on. Disconnecting the subwoofer when tuning it, might be the dumbest thing I've ever read. But of course you're more than welcome to do it your way :) It's your right to be a dumbass

[@elijahgaines9766]

Would you recommend these two subs paired with a jd1000/1 amp?

[@ktruse5833]

It would probably be fine, but I haven't had them hooked up to more than 650 watts RMS.

@@ktruse5833 ok, thanks

[@ktruse5833]

@@elijahgaines9766 if that ends up seeming like too much for them, I would get an 800 watt rms amplifier. JL amps usually push higher wattage than rated so that's also something to pay attention to.

Fair criticism, but please watch the video as I addressed why I decided to DOWN FIRE the subs rather than the traditional backfire which typically sounds best.
