[@BigJeffAudio]

I think we need to get him the new marts 30K bass

[@charlieknoll1269]

If anyone can do it it is you big jeff

[@chrisdep11]

Definitely agree, time for an upgrade! And preciate the DB 3515r recone I just recently got from you. Arrived in good shape and your customer service staff was prompt and quick!

[@Widowmaker2828]

And a recone for that killer sub. Like others have said here the coil was probably damaged in the last video when Parker learned the hard way to break in extra stiff spiders. (8-10 hours full tilt 20hz on the bench) Once he gets a recone and a proper break-in I'd love to see what this combo can really do. I think he just scratched the surface.

[@Marz-px6vx]

Damn bro that was crazy. It doesn't matter what people say at the end of the day this is your channel and your money if someone wants to sponsor you that great.

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Yessir! I appreciate it man

[@AndromedatheBasshead]

Seeing him pick up the sub and mount it really shows how ridiculously massive this sub is 😮

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Yeah man it’s heavy!

[@itsmewangle9030]

I'm gonna throw this out there... Your sponsor, Alphahard Audio, has a beautiful half bridge amplifier AAK. 20,000.1d. You've seen what their subs at all levels can do. With a 20,000 watt amp, you'll never need another amp.

[@ChaosTherapy719]

And it's half bridge too so I can take a lot more abuse than a full bridge

[@drifter905]

He deserves one of these amps.

[@str8upkickyaindanuts289]

As someone who has gone the surfboard route, it would be better to get two smaller amps. 20kW half bridge is going to have scary voltage rails, so if/when something does go wrong it's going to happen fast and with extreme destruction. They are harder and more dangerous to fix as well, selling them becomes an issue when it's time to move on. I would avoid >10kW amps like the plague.

[@itsmewangle9030]

@str8upkickyaindanuts They've got half bridge 8k's, too. He knows what the Deaf Bonce products can do.

[@vincebowling1778]

We’ve always heard the term ‘all motor’ in the muscle car world, now it can used in car audio lol….that’s an INSANE subwoofer!! 💪

[@MichaelJohnson-je2vo]

One guy said you lose credibility for doing sponsored videos I most certainly disagree you do not lose credibility due to sponsorship

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Thanks man!!

[@mattsnider5904]

That just means Parker is a bona fide bass stud if companies are taking notice of his killer content. Good job!

[@mountain.audio247]

Gotta get paid, not hate

[@robertthabassheadjacobson4968]

Well the guy that said that is an idiot lol how tf is parker supposed to make all this great content? Hed have to be a millionaire with no job lol obviously he needs a sponsor. Thats what any youtuber strives for.

[@mattsnider5904]

@robertthabassheadjacobson4968 I agree. Stereo equipment isn't cheap,especially when you put 11 thousands watts through a sub lol. Great entertainment!

[@MikeAnnunziato]

I would think that the coil got nicked when the spiders came apart and gave it a weak point and when you gave it alot of power it caused it to short out and fry your amp would be my guess. Bummer bro, it happens to the best of us. Keep on bassin on Parker.

[@Chuck_Sanders]

I would agree. The coil rocked when he ripped the spider the first time, and probably rubbed the coating(glue) on the coil winding on the top plate. It caused an open coil, and therefore caused a dead short issue under load, in the gap...arched and bridged the gap. That can and will kill any amps output section. Sucks, but it happens.

[@TheLolo919]

Guess Emi need to replaced the amp

[@toddpetersen8883]

No cone control

[@EagleTheBirdman]

Sub never blew! Just popped spider up and 1 side. Coil is not nicked. Sub still works fine. He didn't allow for proper break-in of the spider. Amp went out because that headway bank aint even close to what that amp needs for power

[@5velmusic]

Love to see these insane setups! You are the best! I watched your Kicker video before I purchased speakers and an Sub. Appreciate the fun videos!

[@RyanBassForLife]

Wow!! Now that 12" subwoofer bangs 👍

[@teepressifer]

All good bro. Keep bringing the content

[@CarAudioAmplified]

You handled that well. Great job showing everyone at the end of the day that we have to keep a cool head because we can always get the equipment back and safety first!! Sucks that it popped like that but its all a huge part of what we do.

[@phenomfacemob1011]

I'll be cool to if I didn't have to BUY ANOTHER AMP lol

[@tonyfoley9988]

Always excited to see your content

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Thanks man that really means a lot!

[@adampaffrath4299]

Damn dude that was insane ! That amp is toast! Hopefully big Jeff hooks it up with another lol! Love the videos keep it up brotha 🔊🔊

[@noelsantiago8613]

That was nuts!!

[@Nedsped0]

I've noticed that from full bridge amps if you push the too far too quick they will heat up way faster, and that sub is complete beast, I'd like to see what it does on a Korean amp

[@budgetaudiowithJ]

I need to buy an extinguisher as well, for those just incase moments, on my video recordings. Glad you were able to put it out asap. Always remember these things can always get replaced!!!

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Yessir! Could have been a lot worse

[@hankwade199]

The sound a full bridge amp makes when it blows, followed by sparks and a smoke show. Freaks me out. I think I have full bridge PTSD.

[@stefaniocertain948]

Time for a jp83

[@1ohmwrecker]

That motor just looks ridiculous 🤣 I love it!👏

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Exactly 😂😂

[@mattcrain6893]

Got the fire on video! Definitely saw fire! 🔥

[@carlospacheco8640]

As soon as you said the highest you ever had before was a 12" Sundown X V2, I smiled. because that's what I'm running in my car :)

[@neilholland4427]

I just blew up my crescendo 17k caught fire just like that! Awesome video and time to upgrade!

[@aussiegruber86]

As someone with a permanent impairment due to a back injury means i could never own this sub after watching how you lifted into the back lol 😆

[@RodofAllTrades]

WOW!!!!! That was scary! I'm not sure how you could have avoided the amp failure, other than a fuse between the amp and sub?

[@mullinperformanceaudio5902]

Man after my own heart...full send. Stay safe dude.

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Yessir!!

[@tinhatrancher904]

Stay sanitized!

[@Unominious]

You should check out the new dd audio z12000 amp.

[@justjoe8660]

Dang Parker u let the smoke out man! 😆 🤣 killer sub though 😅

[@memo7095]

Great videos buddy

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Thank you!!

[@MrLips635]

Hoping you can do a VFL Comp Signature sub as well as an American Bass King sub review.

[@thomasstrider3299]

Would love to see the king sub review myself

[@freddiemoralez1536]

PARKER YOU TOOK IT LIKE A CHAMP ! THUMBS UP BUDDY, TELL NEXT TIME. GOD BLESS ALL.

[@raycrews3765]

That was awesome 👌

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

I appreciate it!!

[@silversurfer3023]

You’ve come a long way

[@runthis8738]

Damn it man!

[@chadbeverly4926]

You got a sponsor! That’s exactly how you know your getting popular!

[@guralik1]

Hey Parker you Smoked that thang like a Texan Bbq Wow, I love your channel and what you do. Listen there are always going to be haters in this world no matter what you do buddy, But you do you and keep up the great work cause you are great and your Subscribers and fellow bass heads Love You and if it means watching a skit or commercial so be it.

[@batman785]

Sorry for your loss.You have my deepest condolences.

[@DangaRanga]

I keep a set of sky high 4/0 wire loppers in the car along with an extinguisher for this very scenario. Quicker to chop the wires than scramble for fuses/lugs. can save amp damage cutting power quicker as well

[@KristasBraun]

FIRE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BEST

[@danielfranco2011]

That was insane, it was banging while it lasted

[@adrianheras8892]

I’m sorry about the amp brother thank you for the video I definitely enjoyed every second

[@quevicular]

That SMARTS. Haha. I can see it on fire inside the fan. Looking to see the teardown on that amp to see what frizzle frapped. What was the resistance factor

[@kountreethugen]

I see you do alot of subs but i havent found a review on alpine type r series. What your thoughts on them or can you do a video on them

[@PhiMobileSounds]

Leaving a comment just to help out. (Liked) ... Already subscribed.

[@somewhatofaprofessional7940]

"Yayo bought me everythanggg" Song HITS!

[@ponokanaka]

Hey man double bummer. I've never ran much power myself, but how big is the speaker wire and what type of wire is it? Thanks man

[@robertburley9055]

It happens like the sub great video

[@adriansilvas2135]

@parker whats the best all around setup you would recommend for my 2012 f250 w/behind the seat box

[@Carnage488]

Great video as always bro! Sorry your amp blew 😔

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

It’s all good! Just how it goes sometimes

[@hairlyfeyanni3044]

Do you even break into speakers when you try to blow them or do you get them straight out of the box and just start giving them a bunch of power to feed them flow cuz if that's the case they're always been a blow which I never understood

[@areasonablethought610]

What do you think about the taramp 5k bass? A stereo installer close to me have two of them. I want to buy them too.

[@jimmyjam5588]

That's a bummer 😕 but that score was impressive 👏

[@SoberBassHead]

Glad you are safe!!!! That’s hella scary!!!

[@digydogs9307]

Would like to see another video with that sub in a full work out, I bet it can hit higher db's

[@EagleTheBirdman]

Part 2 is coming. With our new Tan spider pack. He won't do that again lol

[@scrawnchycat1099]

Have you reviewed the Memphis mojo pros? I was recommended it but can’t find many videos of it

[@HandicappedMind]

Smart on the extinguisher... You can actually see the flames threw the fan hole we believe ya :)...

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Yeah man I’m definitely glad it wasn’t any worse

[@kevinlester6678]

I am trying to do a budget build with 4 12s or 15s can you suggest what brand to go with do you have anything for aale

[@RYDRmotorsports]

Have you tested the ct meso 8 and the sundown audio U series 8? Which one hits harder and which one is more musical(sq)?

[@castilloj.a.8569]

Hola, de cuántos pies o litros es el cajón para el subwoofer EM audio? Te agradecería por la información 🙌

[@goldeneagle7559]

For future tests you might want to run an AC rated inline fuse between your amp and subs. The amperage rating of the fuse you will need to run will depend on the wattage and voltage output from the amp but this would save your amp next time you blow a sub as the fuse will blow instead.. On another note, it's cool you did get to spl test this sub and scored the best you've done for a single 12. I just metered my Orion HCCA 122 last night and did a 142.82 @ 39hz. Would love to see a detailed video on what happened in this video, did the sub fail and take out the amp or did the amp just fail and the sub is still good?

[@lipiuuth]

Hey I just picked me up a splx 12 myself do u have some good specs For a single 12

[@goldeneagle7559]

@@lipiuuth I don't have a HCCASPLX 12, I have the HCCA 12. They're very different subs to be honest and I'm not sure what the SPLX requires for a box but I'm running my HCCA 122 in a 2.5cuft net box tuned to 34hz on a Kicker KXA2400.1 (that apparently I set the gain with my sub level turned down before I metered 😆). I know the SPLX was designed to be a burp sub in a very small box tuned a bit higher on a ton of power so I'd guess 1.5-1.75cuft net tuned to 36-38hz for the 12 but I'm not entirely sure. I know the HCCA 122 is surprisingly musical when compared to other subs given its a SPL sub!

[@lipiuuth]

Thanks for replying I’ll figure it out ,right now I’m dealing with my truck not charging.changed out the alternator and fuses and still nothing anyways take care

[@BenaresDarkness]

Was the coil rubbing after reglued?

[@tediwhae8264]

Woooww is the best 👍👍👍

[@buddythepitbull8166]

What do you do with the blown amps???

[@nickn7939]

What kinda gixxer you got? It looks cool

[@girthquake9655]

Oh sh!t.... That thang be thangin....

[@k3rst.romain577]

the part all bass heads hate the most, a blown amp.the feeling is all to real..Wish you could sent that amp over to barevids so he can do the repairs. and make a video of it .

[@benruby3497]

That amp was on fire for sure. I’m definitely keeping a fire extinguisher in my car now. Too bad the am blew. I really want to see what that sub can do.

[@j-remy9832]

Daaaaaaamn 😳😳😳

[@paulwilliamson489]

Love the videos man but dam I hate to see you lose your amp. But I'd love to see that sub in person

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

It’s all good! Just part of doing what I do.

[@mattallen6234]

I was worried for a sec you didn’t have a fire extinguisher. The one in my house is from the 1990s 😂😂😂

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Yeah I’m fortunate that I did!

[@CiscoKid76]

That's why I like to wire my subs in series. Better safe than sorry.

[@chrisclawson296]

​@Parker The Basshead recommendation for a 15 inch sealed sub and amp for 1k$ doesn't have to be that much, just have to have a limit. Let me know what you recommend. Ty!

[@matthewledesma1420]

That’s crazy

[@215sinakia7]

Good grief welcome to the bbq man that sucks. I already know you come back even harder plus you have a wall full of back up amps everything will be ok glad you weren’t hurt at all bro💪

[@NCMATT]

Did the speaker 🔊 & amp blow ?

[@lewisadkins]

What part of no u from I’d love to come check out the build and get some tips on my setups

[@Bigdeal9898]

He’s from New Orleans?

[@jackkight7771]

Where do you sell stuff?

[@dustinjames3709]

Those damn full-bridge amps 😂

[@itsyaboycam23]

i dont see how your not pissed for destroying that but damn that thing gets down😂

[@HellTriX]

it would be neat to make a 2 piece baffle so you could mount the sub non-inverted

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Yeah that would work!

[@Jbel426]

Have u ever tested a dc audio lvl 5 m4 12

[@stonedpanda6903]

why didn't the protectionon the amp not work?

[@Notdb1gabe]

Oh fudge I was shitting bricks when it flames up

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Me too 😭

[@chrisnorrell7489]

I can't understand why the spider pack isn't bolted down on top of the glue. Seems like an oversight considering my EMF lowballer has that feature and only has a 900w RMS

[@oatz-2668]

first time ive heard back to the hotel used in a sub demo

[@RJayRabbit]

Love your videos bro, that sub is ridiculous lol. Honestly its kind of unusable if it wont stay together to play lol. Crazy on the amp fire, are they known for that? What happened to your big ole Tar?

[@Chuck_Sanders]

I fully agree with you, on this being a useless subwoofer. It is highly impractical, and just not well thought out. With not enough spider diameter, and it being an 8 layer spider, it is just way to stiff of a spider. Its limited travel is causing the coil to saturate more easily and get hotter quicker. Also, with that stiff as hell 8 layer spider, that limited travel is going to pull it from the landing on the basket every time, when under decent power loads, and excursion. It needs a bolt down spider clamp, and a basket with a larger spider landing. Parker said you buy this, to say you have one, but you don't buy a super car or sports car, to have it sit in the garage, and post pics of it and show everyone you have one. I just don't trust that particular basket, holding that much weight inverted especially. But it's a cool sub to look at I suppose. 👍

[@JMoneyBassHead]

Parker you should try getting a surge 10k for your next amplifier. I just got the 4k I'm in love. Korean power ❤️❤️

[@paulg.6120]

That's a beast of a sub, insane. Can you get your hands on a Pierce Audio series 8k MOAB? 8000watt RMS (supposedly) I've never seen anyone test them. That would also be insane, and great to see

[@DIYAudioGuy]

I think I need to order some fire extinguishers.

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Not a bad idea!

[@adamjohnson624]

Awwww no... happens tho. Man after watching all your videos I'm thinking bout going deaf bounce on my next build. Still waiting on new solo x too.

[@cordell3246]

That’s crazy😊

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

For real!!

[@solomonerickson6913]

that sub is massive

[@firmansudarwan5556]

Gut 👍

[@neonlicht0977]

in the amplifier was a capacitor or a resistor burned. it can repair from electricans.

[@KnowName33]

I want that motor!

[@josephscarborough23]

Amp catches on fire and fuses didn’t pop why?

[@averagemark17]

Unexpected moment sir

[@lukeconnor2843]

Sorry about your amp! Always enjoy the videos!

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Thanks! It’s all good. Just part of it

[@eldood6724]

Parker how much for the sub with tape on it ?😊

[@Chris-B-Bassin]

Awesome score! Definitely unfortunate about the amp bro. So did the sub blow and take the amp with it, or just the amp?

[@evilinside5984]

This subwoofer, probably had issues from when he popped the spider, from before this video? I think he said both blew?

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Yep the sub blew and shorted out the amp

[@dustylittle9584]

That aero looks pretty nice. Where'd you get it?

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Big Ass Ports!
