[@CC6_Fanclub_President]

The limiting factor on which subs to get is size of the box... 2 10's in the right airspace will outperform 2 12's that are in too small of a box...

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Yes this is very true!!

[@no_bull]

There's also another thing, say that a given subwoofer enclosure suitable for the subwoofer driver, if that driver is replaced with a more efficient subwoofer driver (electrically and mechanically) of the same dimensions in the same box using the same amplifier, it will produce better sound, more headroom and without as much stress compared with the one replaced.

[@matttownsend3069]

I built a good budget system a couple years ago: 4 Sundown E12v3 D2’s at one ohm final load on a Sundown SIA3500d. 2 agm batts and a 500farad supercap bank and 300a alt. Got my subs and amp from the yardsale and shopped around for best deals on wire and all needed tools and accessories. I paid for a professional enclosure design but built and wrapped it myself as well as wiring installing everything. I scored 149db sealed on the dash legal score and was very satisfied with that for having around $1000 in the bass side of the build. Great video Parker!!

[@elcompatavo9365]

Dam where did you find all that foe 1000 dollars all the above is beyond budget

[@c0c0asauce]

Efficiency of the subwoofer and amp is key to getting your money's worth when you have stock electrical. If I was building a budget system I'd want 2 12" or 2 15" 500-700watt rms subs that had +90 sensitivity with a 1000-1500 watt Amp that was as efficient as I could get.

[@bondalero0074]

Check out Down4Sounds JP8! I’ve been using Skar RP800 and their factory enclosure with (1) 10” SDR DVC2 then I swapped the sub for the Skar 10” SVR DVC2 running at 1 ohm because I had plans to get the JP8 that pulls less current and puts out ALOT of power plus so many cool feature like plexi bottom, cooling fan, bass knob with clip light too many to list. I was really impressed! I read so much online about the JP series I had to give it a try. I ordered the JP8 which is a 800 watt amp VERY capable of so much more that in my factory 20’ Civic with factory alternator and a new Interstate battery and I just couldn’t believe the difference in these two amps!(day&night) I’m a fan of both the Skar RP800 (works great) and JP800 for The Skar SVR 10” DVC2 handles the power from both amps well so far.

[@davidbrennan5]

I agree, I would spend some money on sound deadening material and put that on all the large thin flat metal and plastic panels in the vehicle. This will make the vehicle sound better with less power. The other side benefit to doing this is a lot less road noise. I think the other main area I would spend time on would be researching and building a proper box. The box can make or break a system and how the ports are arranged and the direction the subs fire is important to get the most out of it.

[@c0c0asauce]

@@davidbrennan5 Definitely agree with you that sound deadening will make a big difference. I spent more on sound deadening in my truck than the system I got later so I didn't count it as part of the system lol.

[@c0c0asauce]

@@tobias2310 You first have to decide how much space you want to give up for the subs. You gotta get subs that can take advantage of the space you have and that will help narrow your options. Your stock electrical probably won't support 2000rms continuously. Some 1000rms subs would last forever but you will never push them as hard as they were designed for. I would get some 650rms subs. You will be able to push those pretty good on stock electrical and if you upgrade your electrical they will handle the extra power without having to upgrade. If you want to buy new subs a good budget option would be some CT sounds Tropo 10s. If you want more SQ and you got the cash then a pair of DB drive SPW10s are going to sound really good. If you can find some lightly used Rockford Fosgate P2s you might be surprised at how hard they hit and they are happy to play in just about any kind of enclosure.

[@nickstalhood5380]

Great vid. Numbers may be a bit low, but those subs could easily handle some more power if you expand your budget in the future. A 2000 watt amp may have got a 140 an still been ok electrically assuming the stock electrical isn't horrible as some vehicles are. I've had pretty good luck running 2k amps on stock electrical with minimal upgrades, maybe a big 3. That usually gives enough to run 2k/2.5k once again assuming the vehicle has a somewhat decent stock alt. Hope to see more videos like this! I love my more expensive gear, but ive always had a passion for loud lower budget systems. It might sound silly , but i wouldn't mind seeing how loud an how good a complete boss system could sound. Yes their numbers are an out right lie, but can it still get loud an sound good on the cheap?

The point is you can get a super cheap budget build that actually sounds decent and just add improvements to make it sound much better and prolonging it

[@BassFace1776]

I was just talking to someone about this. 800-1000 rms for 2 subs in a custom box is more than most people need. I built a full system for my wife's car with Lc2i for $400. Does 140s and it's more than she will ever need.

[@Mr.Robert1]

The truth is. If you purchase speakers that have a good sensitivity rating then you don't need a ridiculous amount of wattage in order for them to sound loud and clear. On the other hand if you going to go out and buy a speaker because you like the way it looks or you like the price without any knowledge about it you may be forced to get an amplifier with mega wattage in order to get these speakers moving. Just one simple fact. Nice systems out there with one 8 inch woofer in a proper box providing enough base for music not a base contest. Same thing goes for he mids and highs. Name brand, efficient speakers amplifiers and proper installation. I had a friend that got a good 15inch woofer. He did not have the room for it. He mounted it in a box that was way to small and it had no low end at all.

Sealed enclosures always have a tighter bass in my opinion. Not sloppy bass like many ported boxes. The main issue with sealed enclosure is they require more wattage to get the speakers moving as opposed to ported or have a passive radiator Installed .

[@91CavGT5]

I put together a budget system in my 2000 Toyota Corolla that came factory with an 80 amp alternator! It starts with a $37 AM/FM/media player Belva radio. I already had 2 amps, a 4 channel Kicker and a Down For Sound Shop JP8. From the amps, the front and rear speakers were changed to some very cheap Dual brand 6 1/2” speakers running high pass on the Kicker amp, and these speakers ran $25 for each pair. For subs, I went small. I wanted the subwoofer sound, but I did not want to take up ANY trunk space, plus I wanted to keep it VERY cheap, and I wanted something that was VERY different and clean sounding instead of just loud. So I bought eight 6 1/2” midbass drivers from Partsexpress for $8 each, and they are running in an infinite baffle setup. All total, for everything except for the amps, cost me less than $200! The subwoofer setup, despite only using 6 1/2” midbass drivers, has useable output down to 25hz. However, at 25hz, excursion is VERY limited so I set the subsonic filter to 30 hz. It hits the low notes really good, thumps tight enough to feel it in your chest, and plays plenty loud enough. The best part is even with everything cranked, and the air conditioning running, the voltage never drops below 13.5 volts without even doing the Big 3!! I’ve got a video on my channel showing this little setup.

[@91CavGT5]

Btw, the subs are wired a combination of series and parallel for an end impedance of 2 ohms. Due to impedance rise though, each woofer is getting less than 50 watts which helps prevent over excursion.

(Running either 2 18" EVLs, or possibly 2 18" CT SOUNDS Tropo's???) As of right now the setup im picking up will be (2) 18" SDR SKARS (650w RMS each) ATM, that come with a 2000 Watt Amp SKAR 2000•D1 Amp... The Box I will be having the (2) 18" SKAR SDR in will be a 4.6ft³ (which is EXACTLY what these subs need and call for) so 9.2ft Total Interior Air Volume space tuned to 29Hz The problem with 02-06 Honda CRV's is they have the ELD (Electronic Load Detector) underside the Fuse Box so will most likely have to bypass it or remove it from the system... Otherwise if I do Run into issues would adding a Capacitor be a great solution? I definitely don't want to add extra Batteries and have all that extra heavy weight in the CRV, but adding a Capacitor or upgrading the Alternator I'm ok with down the road (just not an Alternator at the moment if I can Help getting away without it, 😁) another problem I'm having is finding a ln upgraded 200 Amp Alternator for the CRV!

If you wanna get loud on stock electric. Look for subs that have a high efficiency. Pair with efficient amplifier. And tune your system to work well with the vehicle

[@chrisstanek2758]

As usual great informative video parker. Keep it up!

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Thanks man glad you thought so!

[@f.j.z3213]

I don't know how to say this, but What? I have a pb of 144.8 @ 39hz on a singel 18" in a poorly designed musical box clamping 580w rms. My buddy does 143db on a factory 2x12 RF p2 with a Rf 1200.1 (o Probably no way near the 1ohm 1200watt.. )

[@TheRepos296]

I'm really happy you used this amp, I have one and used it with an American bass xr12, which I bought cause of your video on it however I experienced some problems, nothing major but can you share your settings on your amp cause I had to raise the gain all the way up to get it loud and experiencing soft clipping. It's a good amp don't get me wrong but rather the Audiopipe APCL 1500 which I eventually swapped it with cause it has a bass knob. Anyways I understand with the taramps there's no electrical upgrade needed but just sharing my experience. Definitely have to use a secondary battery or ultra capacitor now. Thanks again for your awesome videos keep 🔊 on.

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Yeah I used to have an APCL!! Definitely an awesome amp. Only reason I’m getting some decent though with this Taramps is because I’m on 2 15s so way more cone area than a 12

[@TheRepos296]

The best thing about the taramps is it only draws around 45 amps of current which doesn't really strain your stock electrical. So I understand what your saying about cone area and for a little amp it does get loud but like what you said everyone's definition of what's loud varies. Thanks for your prompt reply. Your videos keeps all of us going and striving to get bigger and louder. Thanks buddy .

[@scamchan]

If you have to turn the gain all the way up then you need a better amp or head unit.

[@TheRepos296]

I switched to APCL Better and gets pretty loud, setting off car alarms when I go by. Have a Kenwood KMM-B238 head unit. Next project ultra cap install helps my other build keeps current and voltage stable, bass booming and shaking things lol. Skar audio VXF bought cause of another of your videos which was my favorite. Anyways don't want to keep rambling so thanks again for sharing your experiences and giving us countless budget builds. We all appreciate what you're doing 🔊 on dude!!

[@no_tread_]

it is wild how much more stuff is involved when you want to shake the car apart versus a normal good sounding system.

[@saleemchickoree1199]

Would really like to see 2 12 xfls build

[@mrbrowz1000101]

There's an old KZbin video with a Blazer, single facing Fi 18" sub and (forgot the wattage but wasnt much) that thing is skating gas stations, awnings, etc. It doesn't take much at all.

[@terrenperez]

I had issue with the tramps and sound digital 1600 couldn't push my american bass elites for more than 10 minutes with out cutting out. Put in the audiopipe 1800 and now we're good. No issues. The audiopipe sound better too

[@RJSDZNS]

One thing you didn't touch on was efficient subs and amps. Check the db rating on your subs. The higher the rating the less power it will take to make your subs sound good. Also check efficiency rating for your amp. If it's not doing 70 percent or higher for a sub amp your really going to tax the stock electrical. Williston Audio Labs will more than likely have an amp Dyno of the amp you want to try and run. Great video as always Parker!

[@HashDogg06]

Only in an optimum enclosure, there's a reason why efficiency is lower these day compared to 20 years ago with same size speakers.

[@JC-gs2nb]

Got a CT 10 strato on a 3k tar amp and flash sale was 159 for sub and 60 for the box and not bad for just over 400 bucks and I sold all my RF gear and still money left over and it slams harder than my expensive RF gear!

[@gabehebert6012]

I started on two jl audio w7 12 inch on a boss audio 1500 with the big three and a 220 amp alternator

[@heavymetal6714]

Really appreciate this video I’m a beginner and didn’t want to do the big 3 upgrade, For sound quality and loudness would it be better to do 1 12 at 750 rms or 2 12’s at 400rms each? Cone area or power

[@Jamessmith-eo9ll]

Cone area is king im running 4 zvx 8s on a svk 4500 watt amp and a 320 amp singer alternator and 2 batteries in the trunk one under the hood

[@christophermozeleski7149]

I did a budget build with Soundstream equipment. The amps work great and the 15 pounds. I got the sub new for 200 and I couldn't be happier.

[@maxxmarko4352]

Would free air break-in work? Do you ever try inverting your subs? After I had one of my ohm wires came off and toast a coil. I've saved acouple subs by inverting them

[@OGBOX-pm3vz]

Funny stuff, I just bought this exact Amp, it was recommended at the store, Hooked it up, haven't tune it yet, But I am happy.. Not trying to shake the Ground, but to have good base, and it does the job, and I have 2 /12" trash 300watts rms 1.2kwatt peak.. Thinking on getting that AP2bd2 you like so much, for what I've seen in your videos for $100 ... 2 / 12" of those with this amp, could be right.

[@alexrippons9260]

I've got a American bass hawk 15 wired to 2 ohm, on a ct sounds 2000.d mono, at 2 ohm that amp puts out 1250 rms, and I've 2400 watt amp, at 4 ohm x 4 channels its 400 rms per channel going to 4 6x8 kenwood performance series door speakers on a stock f150 alt and if I'm driving I very rarely go under 13.5 volts and that's usually at a pretty good volume.

[@jamesmarze9850]

Lots of great content parker, good seeing the budget builds

[@errolsmith5634]

Thats not budget. Scar similiar products are more of a budget build.

[@senormonroe8883]

Dude American Bass should definitely help you out. I bought a HAWK 15 because of you.

[@Ericdlc]

so what do you think about BRICKHOUSE 12" Subwoofer ?

[@kylelapedus4031]

I got a skar sdr 15 that came with the amp, wires ect for like 500 bucks on amizon and it hits damn good down at 14 hz it looks like it sounds about the same as the 2 in the video and taps out my phone speaker.

[@gregorijs3kivi]

I was able to hit 145.17db @38Hz sealed in my bmw e91. With stock electrical. 2 dd audio 712 in a 5cuft box tuned to 35Hz + dd audio dm2500a

[@DerrickHoffman545]

In high school I did a budget build with 2 eye candy 15s and a bxi 2610d and that setup slammed. Had less than 1000 into the entire build

[@joes.7536]

I like the budget build. I need to haul tools and kids in my daily. I did my big $ builds in my younger days. It’s way cheaper to build a budget system in 2022 than in was in 1997 when I started. These days my budget system consists of high performance stuff while reducing weight. My Audi sedan runs a high 11 second 1/4 mile with upgraded turbo and fuel system. So I have a skar 1200.1 and a skar evl8 in a custom ported box tuned to 38hz for lows.

[@Mr.Robert1]

Old school trying Skar. They run on the warm to hot side depending on the wiring and placement. They also draw more amperage from the electrical system. Unfortunately today most kids are shopping wattage for the money. Not considering any of the other factors involved. Not saying that you should spend a fortune on your build. I just had a lot of experience selling and repairing car audio since the '80s. Reason why Parker has over $1000 in his electrical. Not only because of the amount of wattage he's using. That brand of amplifier he uses Is a pig on amperage draw. Pioneer makes great equipment for the money today. Clear as a bell. Easy on the wallet and runs very efficient speakers, amplifiers and head units.

[@RyanBassForLife]

You have to show this system hooked to your powerful 8k amplifier!

[@knowme1897]

Blessings you always are very informative to bad I saw the video now if not I would've bought thise subs for that price Question I have 2-12 kicker Solo-Baric l7 and a 3k Taramp but when either I raise the volume or some type of base comes in my amp goes into protection and the it restarts if I don't lower the volume one or two notches it will go into protection

[@dwaynewalters-oh2zt]

Am also thinking of upgrading the two subs from 400 watts to dubble or more. What can you recommend?

[@danksmoker420]

N2deep we were banging that song almost 30 years ago. Awesome to still hear it. Stickem B legit was our go to as well.

[@csj9619]

IMPEDANCE = the alternating current equivalent of direct current RESISTANCE (how the electrons passing through a wire or electrical component are impeded or resisted, measured in ohms) OHM= unit of measurement of how difficult it is for electrons to pass through a cable, electrical component (capacitor, inductor, resistor, diode, etc.) or anything else in the circuit

[@drewanderson8279]

I'm really in the market for a budget system. I had a 1500 watt sundown audio on 2 sundown audio 12s. Lasted only a year and the amp took a crap. So I just took the 12s out and looking for another build. I have a crown Victoria with a huge trunk.

[@ezioassassain]

[@jasonmillz8628]

I've had this same amp and boy does it push💯🤌

[@jasonmillz8628]

What

[@fishrrelaxing9361]

Got a refurbished kit off Amazon for $340. Full wiring kit 4g kicker cxa800.1 factory certified to 915 watts. And a kicker compr on ported box.. have had issues with the comp R taking just 400w rms wo burning up.. recently opted for a scar evl in the factory scar 2.0 cub box. $339 but can sell the kicker with box for $200 all day and then some.. so I’m $480 in.. spent about $120 on matting and did everything.. 12mil Matt.. I was peeking 140 on certain tracks with the comp R off just 400.. Turned the amp up and per multimeter I’m pushing 1100watrs out of this little cxa amp and I’ve still got no distortion so no clue how they rated it at 915? I’m punishing 142-143 on music all day every day off a single evl in factory box off just a cxa800.1 and 4 gauche power with 80amp fuse. Passenger seat down and all 4 windows down 3” or soo.. but she’s banging for a single 12.. wish I could go duals and upgrade the amp and wires but I got real life stuff to haul daily for youth football. Even with 18cubes I barley got room for a single 12 and my gear. But for the box passenger side facing rear and drivers rear seat is down which seems to make for amazing loading off the rear and trunk with all the 12mil matting I put in. Helps this car pushes 14.6-14.8 volts almost all day too. But my xts has perfect loading with one seat down and good power.. I’ve got way less then 1h and just a single 12 and hitting more them most running duals and quads.. with more power and a lot more money.. Hell tbh I was blowing most away with the single compR in the factory box before. But this new evl is way way more.. she hits.. no idea why I is what it is but it is what it is lol. Prob gonna take to a local comp just to push to the limit and embarrass some running so much more then me lol. Haven’t competed in 12 years or more but I’ll promise I’m hitting pretty good for watts to amp per vehicle and based on a single 12. This new gen has no idea how to make real sound wo 0g wires 14 batteries and some knock off 3-5k amps.. I’ll be seeing some of you in my daily around florida soon and you’re all gonna feel pretty dumb for focusing so much on watts instead of more important things when designing a system 😏

[@consciousconscience912]

I have 4 American bass xfl15’s. The first 2 are going on 4 years old. Which definitely made me buy the next two. I LOVE AB XFL LINE. They say budget but I’m definitely louder than all of the people I personally know that spent a good bit more than I did. 🤷🏿‍♂️

[@Luminous.Dynamics]

I have just one of the new style XFL 15" on a JP23 (2300w rms amp) and it's loud as hell.

[@CarsCatAliens]

Loudest system I had was 2 1200 watt Audiobahns bridged on an(original). JL 500 mono. Small 94 Celica hatchback.. it banged... Eventually I added another amp, and had a 10" xtant on there as well.

[@Jonathan05239]

I have that same taramp and that same subwoofer what frequency cut did you give it 🔥🔥💪

[@hayzeproductions7093]

2:25 I've actually had a single SPL SP 15 back in 2014 that was dual 4 ohm. Wired down to 2 Ohm and the pickup truck I had this in, it would die at a stop sign if it was flexing down to 20 or 30Hz Playing Gorilla Zoe's tracks. Not only did I have more than 1 battery under the bench seat in my extended cab, I also had a 5 Farad capacitor which was unheard of in 2014.... When I tried a single lead on 4 ohms, as well series up to 8 ohms the truck would be fine. Even though it wouldn't push as hard. I don't think lower impedance means less power, I'm pretty sure lower impedance needs more power. So the sub gets more power from the amp, and the amp requires more juice from DC power. If your system is running 8 or 4 ohm's you can get some beats out of 2 12's on 1000 watts and still sound good. But power is a must, reliability as well. Most vehicles "as is" should be able to support 4 ohm systems without special mods, or extra sources of power such as more alternators. I'm pretty sure its reversed, the lower the ohms the more power you will need, because amps off of Walmart shelf's wont go lower than 4 ohms and the ones that do support 1 or 2 ohms require capacitors, battery banks, or a secondary source of power. I am not here to correct this man in his videos, I watch them from time to time because I have loved car audio for many years as well very interested to see what he does in bass building projects. But I will be the one to say that anything lower than 4 ohms will require more stable and source able power, lower the ohms the more power you will need. This is coming from someone who had a 5k amp back then that supported 2 ohms, well before 1 ohm was ever a thing.
