I got two of them on the JP63. Install is Friday. I’m excited

​@@K_Vang23 😂 what is the best? Kicker? Not hardly

[@Vegas_Baba808]

It still sounds sick! Clean uniform bass FTW!

[@HifiVega]

A lot of rattles from the trooper, but outside of that it was on point.

[@Vegas_Baba808]

@@HifiVega I am starting to generate more rattles too. I can only imagine what additional challenges I will face when doubling the powa...

Badass sub in an awesome enclosure.

[@girthquake9655]

It was a toss up between the solo x 15 or RS Platinum 18". I ended up picking the RS Platinum. Not disappointed at all. No buyers remorse. I can't wait to hear a kicker solo live though. See what I missed out on.

[@HifiVega]

RS has some bangers for sure

148.1 on (1) X12 in Civic trunk build - pulled out (2) U-15 that did 151.5db - they were tearing my car apart

[@SG-Cichlids]

The solox is ridiculous. I had a single l7q 12 in a custom box in my car up until about a week ago. It did a 143db on music. I built a box and put in a solox 12 last week. It did a 140.7db on music on a half hour of run time on less than half rated power. I'm hoping for a 145+ after break in and turning up the t1500-1bdcp. These things will take a bit more box volume and definitely more port area than manufacturers specs. Kicker4Life

[@HifiVega]

These def need some juice for spl and I think the enclosure could certainly be optimized to increase spl

[@SG-Cichlids]

@HifiVega the box I just built is slightly larger than manufacturers spec but has significantly more port area.

[@bondalero0074]

Awesome amp; the Rockford Fosgate 1500 bdcp has been a favorite of mine now for some time after using my JL Audio 500/1 for 20+ years in many different vehicles and still working. MB enclosures turned me on to the “Clean Power” of the 1500 bdcp! Rockford Fosgate quality and reliability you do pay for! Most would rather buy the cheaper Skar, CT, Taramps, amps and nothing wrong with saving money.

[@Evak-4allG]

Nice video good input. Thank you.. but I got a serious question about an old-school mid 2000s or more like 2006 2007 S15-L7, I am looking to get it in a seal box the shop I want to take it to is telling me that I need close to 5 to 6 ft.³ but on the box for the subs that they come in says otherwise like between 1.5 ft.³ tomaximum four I think I should stick to the specs, but were those subs really made for seal box or does it matter?

[@mkp3824]

Kicker makes great stuff. With headphones on, it sounds good. A few dB doesn't matter. I have a Kicker CompVT 12 2ohm in a Kicker manufactured box from 2007 being run from an Alpine Amplifier from the same year in my Ranger. Formerly in my S-10. It still sounds great. If you pair it up with the proper amplifier, they'll last forever, no matter how hard you pound them. Good video.

Hifi Vega FTW!! 🙌

[@evilinside5984]

@HiFiVega- I thought you said this 15" did not hit a 145 Db? I paused this video @ 5:12, and this 15" hit a 145.1 Db, on music, on only 2,000 watts= very nice! HiFiVega, i would just get 1 more of these 15"s=D2, in another identical, single 15" enclosure, and run the pair off of this 5k, @ 1/2 ohm= Nasty!

[@HifiVega]

When I recorded that clip it had not hit 145, but later on music I noticed I did so I had to fire the camera back up lol. That’s why I put that “watch till the end”

[@Randy_G]

I am getting 148.1db at 38hz on 1 solo x 12

[@HifiVega]

That’s impressive!

[@Randy_G]

@@HifiVega Thank you. It is the Kicker spec box but increased it by 0.1cf net. That was also in the passenger kick and the sub facing the rear of the trunk in my Civic sedan. On the windshield it was 147.4db. I sent the picks to Andy after seeing him at Slam. Thanks again for the compliment. Peace.

[@BASS-SHADE]

Nice enclosure. Do you happen to know what the port area is? Reminds me of the "15" Magic Box" 😁👍

[@HifiVega]

I don’t recall off the top of my head. I’d have to measure it out

[@tcorley7477]

You should totally come out April 13th arch street wheel tire and audio is having a car audio comp thru ar spl and car show

[@bubbawubba2307]

My sundown U 18s specs are 4.5cuft . Or if you get 2 12s they require 5cuft same as thus size box. Thats my complaint about these subs. Requires a massive box

[@HifiVega]

That’s fair

[@ZoeyR86]

i can see that But i had U12's and the base spec was too small they really wanted more space i think a pair of U12 will be happy on 5.8-6cuft on 5 it was a bit to stiff. after about a week i redid the T/S testing it was way off what sundown says it is. i used a both the Dats v3 and adu bench + laser to track the cone. the real xmax was short 2.9mm and Bl was 9.6% lower from spec. this was after 72hr on 10-80hz sweeps at 25% RMS rating free air. after magnetizing the motor the bl was 3.1% above spec and xmax was only 1.072mm shy and I gained almost 2db

I saw 2353 watts on the meter. Very nice sub. I've heard rumors that they can handle more power if it's clean. Bass on my friend 👍🏼👍🏼

[@HifiVega]

I think 4k would be realistic if you were careful

Waiting for the Mechman/JP video next. Lol

I doubt I’ll ever upgrade an alt for a audio build 😬

[@edwinhoward6530]

What amp and ohm is this on?

[@HifiVega]

NVX 5k @1ohm, but if you watch the AMM-1 at the end you’ll see the power and impedance

[@bubbawubba2307]

Got to be aware of how much power you feed it though. Too much xmax and it will tear the spider loose. ​@HifiVega
