[@richardcard9328]

That’s kind of creepy somebody snooping around your shop

[@rudyancheta1831]

Richard Card spoiling? He just dropped it off! 🤦‍♂️

[@rudyancheta1831]

Snooping?

[@russellwilliams3087]

I say recone it, and invite whoever dropped it off to come check it out lol

[@jeroenschuuring6060]

2kw for a woofer to cook at 8hz free air 😮 props to whoever built it.

[@aaronperry2695]

Thanks much 🤘

[@chrisdowland]

I agree to that's a tough sub

[@SaucyBegger25]

From the looks of the hand writing I think it was a young fan of yours Steve. Although my hand writing is awful and I’m nearly 40 👀. Would be nice if you did a recone on that sub and gave the fan a message in a video to come pick his sub up 👍🏻 must be a subscriber of yours

[@xxdjsolomanxx]

Really have to give props to that Frankensoundqubed sub. She was eating for a bit. I bet if that bad girl was in a nice sealed box, it would have slapped hard as hell.

[@kennyetenne8894]

Recone with bigger stronger soft parts. Would be a cool project Frankenstein sub for the channel!

[@oxnardadrianlopez6684]

12:18 you hear real joy in Steve’s heart. You can tell he loves his job and we should all be so lucky. MA audio is decent in my books now that I saw that

[@michaeldoster4847]

Waste of a monzter. Would have liked to have HEARD it once in a good enclosure. Probably would have re-arranged your furniture in there! An amazing speaker! Hell of a heatsink/magnet on that thing! ..... You have some 'LOVELY' tools in there! As usual, great vid!

[@zacharystevens8527]

right as you turned up the volume on 24 hz my washing machine started shaking my house at the same time. LOL

[@TheEscalante333]

Y'all should do a miniseries called "woofer cook wednesday"(;

[@rctheil]

I love how you panned around it endlessly, showing it off as if it was a brand new $10k sub.

[@johnathanhunt6959]

Blowing smoke rings....hurts the eyes both from laughter and smoke...haha

[@morganbills2749]

damn that's 2500 free air, imagine what it would to in a box!

[@THELIFEOFPRICE]

Haha that was awesome!

[@gjmayville7424]

I got to take my hat off to that woofer it stayed in the game longer than I thought. Cool video and that slow motion is the shit.

I know you love what you do you can tell in your projects. The workmanship you put into it shows that you love it. I hope to open a shop myself one day that's my dream to what u love car audio and customization.

[@drauto6763]

Making smoke rings, have you found out who dropped it off? Nice!

[@vizionreloadzz9756]

He didn't lie it took over 1500 Watts.

[@mrt9781]

Welp time to do what everyone else does and put it on Craigslist as a “almost new sub “for sale cheap!

[@ramerica3995]

I wouldve loved to heard that sub in a good enclosure running that power. That woofer did good for what it was

[@cuzimaluzer777]

Best dust cap ever.

[@nodutherone]

Nobody does it better and with such style I learn alot here, thanks for sharing Steve.

Am I the only one that cried when it died.....Wish I could afford a speaker like that....

[@agoodballet]

Hell yeah dude, I love that you’re reppin Soundigital. I’m still beating the shit out of mine 2 years later.

[@matthewwoods8241]

boy you know u built that 😂😂

[@wesw9586]

That was fun! Thanks for this one, Steve. Maybe there will be more "gifts" at your door. Be cool to get a challenge going or something. The woofer that takes the most power at 8 hz for 5-10 seconds wins a little prize? Epic vid.

[@TRUCKERMANN92]

The bottom of that sub looks like that thing Will Smith had around his neck in the movie Wild Wild West!,LoL!

Lmao 😂 right!!!

Could've been a bomb. Glad it wasn't. These day you never know. Dont need someone messin wit the coolest dude on KZbin.

[@kaguscon]

That chuckle when it went. Hahahahah, that's real enjoyment

[@TeamLorie]

I would have liked to see you test it without breaking it and then giving it away to an interested subscriber via a contest.

[@whytboysam9467]

Team Lorie how else do you find its limits?

[@TeamLorie]

@@whytboysam9467 I usually use test tones to detect distortion and then back off of the gain a little. :)

[@whytboysam9467]

Thats no fun though is it

[@TeamLorie]

@@whytboysam9467 I think for most bass lovers, which is what I am, the fun is in listening to good bass. For people who would rather break stuff, I see your point. In this case, I believe Steve has built the majority of his audience from car audio fans. Most of which probably cringe at the end of this video.

[@elel9640]

This is this dudes job. I'm not at all jealous.

[@shanesubashe787]

I was hoping we would see Soundqubed on your bench one day. Didn't think it was going to be like this though. Lol.

[@meade916]

it ain't a SQ though...unless the hot-glued dustcap makes it one haha

[@shanesubashe787]

meade916 good gosh that hot glue lol. quality recone 😁. Makes for some good afternoon entertainment.

[@aaronperry2695]

I had to man I ran out of CA glue I need some power on it

Looool that fact you pulled up the track just to hear that mid bass priceless my first vid watching won’t be the last👍🏾

[@elkompa80]

A child in Africa could've ate that sub

Cute little smoke rings coming out the back. ;)

[@thezofamilychannel7204]

Did you ever find out who dropped it off. Pretty impressive.

Hands down you are that dude when it comes to music man 1 day I'll get big like you are lol 1 day, keep up the good work man

[@justinpalmer423]

Can you attach a flesh light to that sub? Asking for a friend

[@TylerSpite]

It’s pretty Sweet watching it clip in slow motion.

[@xfiringsquadx]

The magnet and motor belong to an old ma audio synergy series woofer from around 2002-2003. I was sponsored by ma audio back in the day. Edit: They were made by Aruba just like Audiobahn and Visonic.

[@gump3400]

This man is a legend i remeber watching you build chickens caddy back when i was a kid

[@wyattbarnes767]

It was blowing smoke rings through the ventilation hole in the magnet at 12:37

[@winfieldjenkins1328]

Lol 8 Hertz is the hulk smash lol great video brother

[@stimpsonjcat26]

Nothing wrong with lamp cord as long as it is heavy enough awg. Cheap and ugly but no performance loss.

[@Ighooweh]

Soundqubed ftw

[@leroyjenkins09]

At the end in slow motion you can see the woofer lock and hold at the top and bottom of the stroke, which would tell me that you pushed the amp into clipping. The sub died from D.C.

[@toff5812]

j'avais remarqué ça aussi

[@noemartinez5111]

Subwoofer was a paid actor .

[@ElOsoPolar91]

You should recone it and make a L port box for it steve. Looks like it will make some noise.... Would love to see that.....

[@noahward82]

In a 20 part series like sound man?

[@ElOsoPolar91]

Even better. 🤔

[@PRIZM_LOCK]

Id watch it too! along with MANY others here :D

[@DecalsAndFriedChicken13]

12:20, what clipping looks like in slo-mo.

[@meade916]

except it wasn't clipping. Just out of suspension.

[@BiGGBLUNT1]

Good way to get rid of a old sub...be careful you might wake up and have a hundred of them sliding under your Garage door!!!!😂😂😂

[@audisport222]

BiGGBLUNT1 i was thinking the same thing...he's going to get alot of frakenwoofers dropped off now lol if i was closer i kno i would lol

Hey steve nice video. I really have mixed emotions about this, nice to see the limits of efficiency playing it hard, but sadly that was it's last work. anyway, nice video again. I would like to rebuild that. thank's for sharing.

[@theadamsfamily1170]

I think you should test them in a box I mean it's your video you can do it ever you want but as a car installer I would like to at least have seen what it could have done in a box.

[@meade916]

i ain't about to build a box for this ragedy ass sub. lol

[@aaronperry2695]

Don't hate on the lil guys lol I guarantee I could have got 140's on that one ten

i wouldn't guarantee anything. A lot of hearts have been broken by the Termlab. You never know though. lol

[@alisamenna]

It's a wonder it didn't suffer mechanical damage before melting the coil, runnin' free-air like that.

[@CrashPCcz]

Absolutely. Very high quality motor structure and suspension. That's why you need the coil to run out of magnetic circuit sooner than where the suspension movement range ends....
