Budget or not these are bad ass...I have 2 of them and 2 of those boxes that I run in my home theater and sounds awesome. Bahaha plenty enough for the house.

You got a pretty decent channel going . I've watched you over the past year or so and you seem to be doing good. I want to ask you a favor, if you do test the savard high q please don't put it in the wrong box like you the emf lowballer. It is a lot better than you said it was you just have to put it in the right box. They are kind of sensitive to enclosure volume and tuning unlike the other cheap subs out there. The savards have a little more flexibility with enclosures, but I think you will be happy with the test results on them. They sound very clean and are very transient, and they push just as hard if not harder than the spl type subs around 200

[@paquesepas6696]

What box is perfect for a 12 hiq savard?

[@Hayawasa]

@@paquesepas6696 ported box around 1.9 cubic feet. If you want to run above rms make it 1.7 cubes.if you want to run below rms ratings go 2.3. Tune it to 35hz . They recommend a 6 inch round port about 28 inches long. Parts express has a port calculator if you want to go slot port . Savard also has the best customer support on free enclosure design when u purchase a product. I would just buy from them directly so you can tell them what you want to do and what kind of space you are working with. They know a lot better than I do lol.

There is no right or wrong answers and each vehicle is different. Experiment/test is the only way you want to experience for yourself to see which one you prefer.

Love the video. It would be cool to see 2 of those against one of there higher priced ones see what the decibels are. I know it would be alot of work not asking you to. It would just be cool to see if its better to buy 2 cheaper subs or spend the same amount on a better model.

[@GearHeads09]

I was thinking about the same thing! 2x 12" SDR on the 1200 rms amp or the 1x 12" ZVX on 1500 rms amp.

[@BenaresDarkness]

Depends on the surround if it's like this and wide then yeah it's not the greatest but if it's like the egg roll surround wide and tall the tallness will make up for the missing cone area because it moves further.

[@bailey2517]

This sub doesn't need "egg roll" surround though because it's only 600WRMS, so it's not gonna have very much excursion in the first place. Look at sundown's U-series subs. They have more excursion than this sdr 12, but SMALLER surround. It's just not necessary unless you need crazy excursion.

[@dlaroc]

Theyre alright. I have the dual 12 enclosure, and the carpet is coming from the side under the right sub. Other than that its a nice box. Heavy than a MFr!

[@cablenowadays6586]

I bought a sdr 15 in a box for 150$ new and then build a box and still couldn’t get the sound quality of the scar box

[@fishrrelaxing9361]

Quality boxes are bit made of 5/8” mdf.. they are made of 1” face and 3/4” back and sides.. I will give them credit for making a decent box properly tuned and sized for the loaded sub packages they offer.. that is a lot more then many other companies can claim.. but quality they are not For those that are bit wood workers why this matters.. you can’t screw 5/8” mdf.. first of all screwing even 3/4” is not easy.. it will split very easy even when predrilled.. at 5/8” you can do nothing more then glue and use some 15g finish nails or some staples.. rip the carpet off one and if they used staples over cheaper finish nails I’d give them some credit there.. but fit the price you can’t hate them.. For the record a quality box.. with 1” face and 3/4” everything else will be dado Grover in at all joints.. glue alone is all you need cause the type of joints used.. this is 10x the time to do and why two boxes that look the same.. one costs $200 the other $600. Trust me the quality box will be handed down for generations. Skar boxes as hard as their subs hit will not stand the test if time.. they will slowly over hard use start to separate and leak air.. you wouldn’t even notice this most of the time especially in a covered box.. The single best thing you could do for them is remove the sub and use some cheap fiberglass or epoxy mix and coat the entire inside of them.. it will help with the lower build market also to last longer while not overly effecting the interior air space.. In theory all mdf boxes should be corner braces to ensure proper screw usage off the edges where mdf is weak. But this would make all boxes a little larger and companies too lazy to do this. They would rather sell you garbage materials in the smallest size and price possible then built it properly and charge another $30. You can make a 5/8” box good with bracing.. the issue is still a 5/8” front face will have deflection so you’re actually losing some power do to the box face flexing dampening the speaker.. So if you hitting 144 with 2 evl in the skar box and amp package.. (like many are) imagine what you would hit if the box wasn’t robbing you of output.. prob enough to place in a local spl comp with just $800 sub amp and wire combo package with big three upgrade added.. this is why people say box build is everything for sq and spl.. But like I said.. for a preloaded package it’s about the best out there maybe second to only jl’s offerings.. they tuned and sized the box specifically to the two speakers they offer in the boxes. That is a lot more then almost anyone else does.. kicked solo packages being the only other exclusion of the top of my head.. funny fact.. the skar boxes although most are sold with the side’s they are actually tuned to the evl’s lol.. they close though.. another fun fact.. given the specs.. although they both hit in these boxes.. the evl would do better sealed then ported.. it’s a .67 range speaker .. so it can work ok in porter it’s not ideal.. it the sdr is like a .58 it’s a sealed k my all day speaker yet they don’t even offer a sealed box.. and the soecs for sealed on the evl says 1.75? It should be like 1.25 similar to the sdr if you do the math based on the specifications sheet.. 🤷‍♂️ Honestly idk why they don’t offer sealed packages. For the size you could run 3 10’s in about the same total box size.. they could be selling one extra speaker for every package they sell for almost zero manufacturing costs.. they need some better in-house people who are a little better at math.. cause 3 10’s going to hit harder then 2 12’s and sound 10x better sealed.. they could do the same with 12’s as well but as they don’t offer a dual 15 setup profit to be made would be little less on paper.. plus 3 12’s won’t fit well in between the wheel wells of most cars with out a very angular box design which would make for some much deeper boxes then most would like seeing how 1/3 of cars already can’t fit the higher under the rear deck.. but they could get damn creative with some 8’s and 10’s

[@Chuck_Sanders]

I agree..the EVL is a highly inefficient subwoofer, smaller motor, and less motor force then a DDX. And the 3" coil in that EVL isn't needed. The ddx is a great daily subwoofer.

[@risketti7295]

@@Chuck_Sanders Would a 15 inch ddx be good on a RP 1200 @ 1 ohm? i know those ddx’s can take a lot more power than 1k i’ve seen them run on 1500-2k. I know that the ddx is also more relevant in regards to sound quality than their other subs… so would it sound good in a sealed box?

[@Chuck_Sanders]

@@risketti7295 yes, it really would perform well. If your going to use a sealed box, I would recommend going about a half a cube, bigger then recommended, even up to 1 cube bigger. The ddx series is a great subwoofer, and many don't know it, but Jacob Fuller, actually designed that driver for Kevin. I don't think you'll be disappointed at all.

The DDX is better made than the other models. The EVL needs lotsa powa, and a huge ported to go beast mode.

Got to make sure you get everything so it works together well.. I never run 4ohm, that’s to low of power for me. I either wire mine to 1 or 2 ohm.

Park i just bought 2 of those i realize its been a year good video i tried wiring them up to skar 800.1 something wasn't right sending amp back for more power what audiopipe should i run om these speakers??

Your mic sounds good, doesn't distort too badly. Did you capture the spl on this budget test? We must have our numbers now, lol

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Yes the SPL test is in the video

Would love to see a test of the qbomb horn port sub box

[@PURESOUND4]

Box is tuned to 36hz, but you played songs that get down to 25hz? Any issues you hear or smell would be caused by playing below box tuning.

Wats max power anyone has seen put to a SDR 15 D2? Just wondering b4 I blow this thing to the moon with a 2500 watt amp. I know it says 1200 watts max but was wondering TIA 👍😊

I don’t know why they down talk skar so much I recently got an sdr 12 and it’s the best sub I’ve ever owned I’ve previously owned pioneer kicker comp vr Orion this skar sdr entry level sub hits loud low and clear and it’s only the entry level sub I run it on a kicker cxa800.1 at 1 ohm thing knocks compared to my old two comp vr 12s

Anybody watching I bought 1 of these in the prefab box for my durango.. I love it skar has alot of bang for the buck for us on a budget...

[@REPDAT5SIX2]

Someone was selling 3 15s 600 rms each with a sealed box. All I know didn't sound good at all. My sundown SA12 has way deeper bass than those 15s. My personal opinion they were garbage. I turned down the sale.

I have 2 sdr 10’s in my truck cab, in a custom built box ported and tuned to 30hz, very happy

Stinking is ok, it's brand new. Give subs a period (couple weeks or so) of soft break-in and the manufacturing resins burn off.

[@paquesepas6696]

In my opinion with brand new subs stinking is never ok. Sub was just getting too hot.

[@beardedforlife3740]

@@paquesepas6696 sub was also not broke in so of course it's going to get hot and stink

[@Iridiumcosmos]

Johnny 24 Most drivers especially woofers/subwoofers will give off an odor. It’s just like the OP said, the resin is just burning off of it. It doesn’t hurt the sub as long as you’re not abusing the ever living shit out of it in its first initial hours.

@Parker The Basshead: A magnet is not a "motor." Whomever you heard that from is a tool, and you are repeating cringeworthy terminology from a tool, and, in so doing, making yourself look like a tool. A speaker's voice coil can be referred to as a motor, but that is the coil, not the magnet. Referring to a magnet as a motor is just wrong in every way. It's like calling your steering wheel a tire.

[@KyrieEleisonMaranatha]

You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. You sound like a dumb tool. The motor is the entire assembly below the basket, that is the magnet and coil gap. You can literally Google "subwoofer motor" and see how stupid you are. My goodness, then you come on someone else's KZbin channel trying to sound like you know what you are talking about. Yet you are the only one looking stupid right now. Great job cupcake.

Comparing this to the Audiopipe sub, is comparing apples to oranges. The Skar sub is less efficient, compared to the Audiopipe firstly. Second thing is, you were using different enclosures.. with different tuning. The Skar is better in smaller enclosures, but you were using their prefab tuned at 36hz... and playing WAY below tuning. You were unloading that Skar, creating tons of heat, therefore smelling the coil. If you're going to test different drivers, and play lower frequencies, tune accordingly. If you're testing similar size subwoofers, with similar recommendations for box volume.. build a test enclosure with an interchangeable port, for tuning up and down in the frequency bands. I'm not a brand hugger, and I don't brand bash either. That Audiopipe is a great budget sub, as is this Skar. I just recommend, that people shy away from, the EVL series. The EVL are horribly inefficient subwoofers, and the tsp's show that. The DDX is a great, all around daily subwoofer.

I need help I bought my first car subwoofer I don't know much about car audio and I wanted to get help with setting it up - The subwoofer I bought is a Skar Audio single 12 SDR sub with a factory ported enclosure on Amazon - It's rated at 600w rms 1200 Max I've been doing a lot of researched and found this to be the best for the price range as an entry level sound system - I have a kicker cxa 400.1 w amp That puts out 514w at 1ohm The sub is rated at 600w - Being that the amp is underpowered is it still possible that I can use it to power the sub? Even if I don't get most bass as I would with a proper amp - If I do use this amp to power the sub Will I have problems such as the amp overheating - trying to power the sub Or will it burn out the amp or the sub or cause clipping - If so is there anyway to prevent that without getting a different amp but maybe like changing the settings or something I really want to hook it up to my car And get some bass Until I can afford a proper amp I want to use this *if possible*

Also Copper Clad is more fragile than pure copper. Remember you get what you pay for. Glad my house isn't wired with copper clad wire. JS Remember when the voice coil burns up. Ask yourself was it CCA or pure Copper

That's odd because some of the most powerful voice coils are aluminum. That's because aluminum cools off a lot quicker than copper
