Nakamichi 3600 Watt 12 Inch Subwoofer Review/Testing. Can It Take The Power? MUST WATCH!

[@RavenousBitchProductions]

i have just one of those in a 1.8 cu.ft enclosure tuned around 34hz with 26 sq. in. of port and its pretty incredible on 1000 watts for the $27 price tag. another great video

[@Memiselphi]

Thanks. I’m trying.

[@RavenousBitchProductions]

@@Memiselphi you are doing some great content. can't wait to see how the other Nak subs hold up. I know you don't really need another amp but would be great to see you get a 1000 watt Nak in to test

[@Memiselphi]

@ I might sacrifice a few dollars and purchase one just to test. My channel doesn’t bring in enough money to cover anything just yet, and I just spent 42k on my teeth! So, I’m just trying to see what appeals to a bigger audience, and generate more revenue.

[@RavenousBitchProductions]

@@Memiselphi do you have a p.o. box?

[@johnhumphreys9732]

Nice video

[@Memiselphi]

@@johnhumphreys9732 thanks. I’m thinking im about trying them in a different box and make a video about it. But I dont know if anyone would be interested. I don’t to waste time on a video that no one has interest in. What do you think?

[@johnhumphreys9732]

@ definitely build a box for them. I went looking for the 10 inch version but couldn’t find them. I would like to to 4 in my daughters corolla.

[@Memiselphi]

@@johnhumphreys9732 I’m not necessarily building a box for them, I already have a better built box and was going to just see how they perform in a better enclosure, compared to a prefab. I don’t build box’s. I’m sure life would be so much easier if I knew how to.

[@toryaanderson659]

Love that big smile 😁

[@Memiselphi]

Thanks.

[@diamanteday8580]

They will up the price soon

[@Memiselphi]

@@diamanteday8580 these were bought almost 2 months ago. They been sold out at this price for over a month.

[@tonyhampton9170]

Love your channel and what your doing Sir!! Could you tell me what does Nakamichi mean when they say N-power, versus peak?

[@Memiselphi]

@@tonyhampton9170 nominal is the actual rating, that the subwoofer can take on a consistent basis, vs max power is just an inflated number that the speaker will not survive, if it saw that type of power. You may be able to give a 3 second burst of the (max) power to the subwoofer, and the sub supposed to be able to survive that small burst of power, but I wouldn’t trust their max power ratings. Most companies just put large numbers on their products as a marketing ploy to sale merchandise.

[@Memiselphi]

@@tonyhampton9170 thanks I’m truly trying to be entertaining, spread positivity, information and hope to continue to grow, and maybe add some type of value to people’s lives.

[@eighty3boxchevy]

Definitely good started subs.. a nice 1200 watt package deal

[@Memiselphi]

Yeah. Definitely a good entry level system.

[@bobbybeattie4738]

For bass testing check out brodnax keep you warm. Anytime i wanna check bass its the first thing i play. Independent artist too. Upchurch last album has some good bass too also independent

[@Memiselphi]

@@bobbybeattie4738 I’ll have to make sure it’s copyright free music. If not, I can’t use it in my videos. Also, I’m not an Upchurch fan. Just not my cup of tea.

[@bobbybeattie4738]

@Memiselphi all good brotha upchurch isnt for everyone. But i will say his new album is more rap rap his pen game has really elevated but brodnax is also country rap but hes more of an old school rap style. You might like it might not just sayin but two others are ren and now chris webby takes all claims off weddy likes and watches all reqctiona to his stuff so if you play his stuff and it gets claimed hell take it right off. Independent artists usually like any kind of promotion on youtube. Ren tho that mf is going to be one of the best all around artists of our generation with how creative he is.

[@bobbybeattie4738]

Ik your not a reaction channel but any play on youtube helps them in a way so just sayin

[@Memiselphi]

@@bobbybeattie4738 am I trying to help them or myself?

[@bobbybeattie4738]

@@Memiselphi both im suggesting finding an actual good song to show bass rather then randum corney free youtube beats. Brodnax keep you warm starts right off with a deep 808. Nothing but bass. These artist dont need help i am trying to help you. But you do you. Just a suggestion.

[@joshholden8561]

That box tune is around 45-48 htz when I tested it the box certainly fall off hard at 35 htz and under

[@Memiselphi]

@@joshholden8561 yeah. I wonder how they would perform in a lower frequency tuned box? I may try it. It’s just work for me to do it. I’ll have to move that box with the 8s, and move a bunch of stuff around just to do a temporary swap.

[@RavenousBitchProductions]

@@Memiselphi i think they do pretty good tuned from 32-36

[@phila8160]

I grabbed a couple 3ks and some 100.4 but the decent 12s and 10s were sold out. Liking the vids!

[@Memiselphi]

@@phila8160 thanks. Ima definitely try to keep them coming.

[@SnubBarracuda]

I got one of the Nakamichi 3k amps for 82 bucks, but I didn't get any of these 12s. Shame because I really wanted to try them out. I might grab some of the 10s. I want to compare these to the Hifonics HFX 12s for 35.

[@Memiselphi]

@@SnubBarracuda yeah. I initially wasn’t going to get any of these subs, but I just took a gamble and spent close to 1200 on nakamichi gear. I don’t even have a plan for most of this stuff. I need to work on selling a lot of things.

[@SnubBarracuda]

@@Memiselphi Heck yeah. I am the same way. When I see these deals that are just too good too pass on I buy them and then work on finding a place to put them later, haha.

[@toryaanderson659]

It said dual, two is better than one right!! ❤

[@Memiselphi]

Yeah.

[@Mr.NpK143]

Do yo thang sir

[@Memiselphi]

Thanks. I’m definitely trying to.

[@SnubBarracuda]

Careful bro. Those BHD watt meters don't read dynamic bursts property. You are actually pushing more than twice what it says on the kick. Those things only do well with test tones and long bass notes.

[@Memiselphi]

Is this proven by someone? I never heard this before.

[@SnubBarracuda]

@@Memiselphi Yeah. HiFi Vector did a really great 5 way test video a couple weeks ago. Turns out the SMD tools are the only 2 that are fast enough to catch dynamic bursts. The others are great with test tones but they just aren't fast enough.

[@SnubBarracuda]

At the extreme there is even a point where the non SMD meters are reading 14 watts while SMD meters show 600 watts during dynamic tests.

[@AudioGuyBrian]

Thanks for trying but man, you have totally wrong testing gear. Watch some videos on how to test woofers from the Car Audio side of things. They use single tone power amp dyno's that put exactly what you want for watts RMS into the speaker and can tell when it starts causing clipping at various exact frequencies like 20hz, 40hz, 80hz and 120hz. They are specialized tools and 100% accurate.

[@Memiselphi]

I disagree. Im doing the tests exactly how (I) want to perform these tests. I’m not a dyno channel. I’m not trying to be like everyone else. Im trying to show what the average consumer can expect from these amps in a real world environment, not necessarily from a perfect environment of resistive loads, and test tone power. The majority of consumers listen to music, not test tones, so that’s my specific aim in my testing style. Thanks for the suggestion, but that’s not my aim.

[@AudioGuyBrian]

@@Memiselphi Ok, I can understand you not wanting to drop the kind of cash a speaker testing Dyno costs, but music alone is a horrible way to measure speaker specs. Especially when it comes to lower dynamic or higher dynamic range music types. Playing a compressed low DR song will give entirely different results than an un-compressed high dynamic range test source. And, Verifying their subs can withstand 600 Watts RMS and peaks of 3,600 is just impossible using music alone. 600 Watts from a dyno for 1 minute, and a short test of bass tone peaks for 20 or 60 milliseconds at 3,600 watts to represent peak handling in watts is the only way to go.

[@Memiselphi]

@@AudioGuyBrian I didn’t aim to see if it takes 3600 watts peak. Did you watch the video? Majority of the real world uses music, not test tones. I literally said, I’m not a dyno channel and the primary people who would run subs would run them like me in this video, not a specialist, aimed at pushing the boundaries of the sub or finding the subs max power. That’s simply not what I’m doing here. The average consumer buys subs, buys an amp, have a shop install it, and hopes it last. It’s not that complex for the average person.

[@AudioGuyBrian]

@@Memiselphi Well, I have several large high-powered large commercial room systems with several 2,000 and 5,000 watt RMS power amps and many speakers connected to them, so I am looking for speaker drivers that can handle thousands of sustained watts of music without bottoming out or blowing which can damage my amps. So when Nakamichi sticks a LIE on their box saying their speaker supports 3,600 watts they better damn well support it or they will be paying for the amp repairs my gear will need because their B.S. caused damage to my system. Have a nice day.

[@AcM.5233]

No longer available. Amazon had them for 109.00

[@Memiselphi]

They been sold out. I purchased these items at the beginning of November! Even before Big D Wiz did a dyno video on the Nakamichi 3k. I saw the them first pop on the site, and took a gamble on them.

[@DavidAudioR]

I've got a Nakamichi headunit, JBL speakers and Pioneer subwoofers !! shoestring budget build

[@Memiselphi]

@@DavidAudioR how does it sound? I always will try different amps and subs, but I always have to use a reputable brand for my radios. It’s a must for me.

[@DavidAudioR]

@@Memiselphi i got one of the cheaper models, NQ711 I believe, and it sounds great

[@Memiselphi]

@ oh, ok. That’s good it sounds good. I’m glad to hear it.

[@beemackin2316]

Nice 1's

[@Memiselphi]

Appreciate it.

[@512juancho]

Where did you buy the sub at bro

[@CherrySquishee]

Originally on Woot, but those have been sold out long ago. They still have some 10s and their smaller amps.

[@512juancho]

@CherrySquishee yea i found em but damn their 10's are 100rms and 1000watts?! They look good for a starter kit

[@RavenousBitchProductions]

@@512juancho I tried those 10's they have for $19 and they hardly handle a couple hundred watts and have an xmax of just a few mm so not even very good to start off with

[@Memiselphi]

I didn’t bother to even try them. They ratings were far too low to be worth buying. I need at least a 500rms woofer to want to buy it.

[@kevinAuman1]

Damn for that cheap they deff not bad at all...

[@Memiselphi]

Definitely not. I’ll have to try them again in a lower tuned box!

[@Rdizil-ox1ye]

Y amazon charging 109$ for me but you said 27$😢

[@Memiselphi]

These were on sale on woot.com until they sold out at that price. Everyone else still have all of these products at full price.
