Honestly you’re one of the best you tubers for car audio. I used to watch exo and smd like 7 years ago but you keep showing us new products, specially ones that we can afford. Appreciate it

Really good to hear man!!

[@MayzDayz007]

100% he's doing great, helping thousands of people by showing what's out there. What's good, how to get a great price. What not to by, basically ins and outs of many, many Subs. Thanks P

[@MayzDayz007]

Thanks for that new enclosure, so we can see it's power!

The 15" gonna be nice hopefully 🙏

[@hopskustomaudio]

Been beating the hell out of my VXF 15s for over a year now. About to get 2 more and build a 6th order. That definitely looks identical to mine. And you're right these things get nasty with the lows.

[@wayneslain9444]

Never heard of brick audio but I always love checking out new brands

[@mattplachter5200]

Drilled holes around pole vent are voice coil gap venting.. The center hole is the pole venting. Just trying to help the channel be more accurate.

I got the first version on that 8" Soundqubed and its a beast!!!! I run 750w at 2 ohms and it sounds like a 12" in a vented box!! Great price too!!!!!

Great video Parker.. Seems to be bottoming out on the real lows. Might wanna play with the subsonic a bit but over all pretty damn good sub there..

[@tnasituning8173]

WOW! Very Impressed by the Excursion on this sub! It was moving quite a bit up and down... Seems like a very good bargain... This Sub in that Box i thought was a very nice combo for just a single 12" it looked like it pounded pretty good

Omg I’m so excited for the sound qubed sub! Great videos keep it up! I would love to see the wolfram cu-8 on a video as well.

[@REALTOMRAMEN]

A Recone series would be dope where you take low budget "knock offs" with the same specs and put Higher end soft parts in it

[@ddtstrc9678]

How can you identify high quality soft parts? And don't all soft parts come from China.

[@itdoesntmatterwhatyourname6128]

@@ddtstrc9678 I think that's a good question, which I'm not a car audio pro by any means & have never rebuilt a subwoofer to date. I've seen several Chinese sites selling soft parts & anything needed for rebuilds. Ie check chinafuturesound for reference. Though I have zero clue if chinafuturesounds parts are quality but I've been told they hold up.

[@big6n4]

Just because it has a TI basket and 300oz motor doesn't make them the same. I build subs the soft parts can be way different 3"coils vary spiders vary cone/surrounds vary the weight of the cone everything matters as far as performance and power handling.

[@phatkix]

Great channel. Love seeing you put all these woofers to work.

[@atleder1]

Looks and has the same specs as a Skar vxf. Would like to know the backstory on that. Good price though.

[@jkindlesparger]

Is basically if not identical to the vxf, brutal sounds big brute, wolfaram au, & probably a few others. They are all made in same china build house. Just like soundqubed, massive, toro, dead game, & others have a version of the hdx3 motor sub. Only a few china build houses make 95% of woofers.

[@jkindlesparger]

@WeAreWatching Yu Everything isn't a sundown copy. This is a cookie cutter china built motor used by many companies as said in previous reply.

[@kevinAuman1]

Hey Parker I just want to point something out to you bud, you stated that this driver and also the skar vfx or zvx didn't have the "black high temp" coating well just because you don't see thee exact same dark black coating certainly does notttt mean that there isn't one on there and it just isn't colored black lol I actually did a bit of research on this and I can assure you that those coils are very well coated for protection against continuity or arching while being coiled together with many other winds that are all touching one another so that being said ALL voice coils have a coating on them and some coils do have high temp coatings that just aren't the same black color that you are used to seeing! Keep an open mind brother before damning equipment or calling it inferior when in fact it isn't....

[@josephherr1575]

love what you do bro!!!! skar should be paying you.... you just sold more skar subs... because of you im putting 4 12 zvx and 2 18 zvx in my car

I hate to sound like a nut hugger but I just have to say it. I started my car stereo journey with 2 Sony explode 12s. I thought they sounded good. But I won this huge poker tourney when I was like 22-23 and bought a JL 10W7 inside the grey and red HO box with a JL 500/1 amp. Dude that ONE sub hit hard, low and very accurate. Music sounded amazing on it. I loved it. I listen to all these guys online bashing JL saying that there was so many better subs out there for way less money so I said fuck it and I sold the W7. I went through a ton of other systems and subs. Sundown, Memphis Audio, mtx 9500s, L7s, skar, vfx...I’m just not happy with the sound quality of anything else. I regret selling my W7. Currently looking for a 12W7 in a HO box.
