Sundown Xv3 vs Zv6...

[@SbassLaser]

that coffee table is the real mvp of this video

[@Kpaceguy]

For sure

[@CrystalClearSQL]

I've got an SAv2 15 in my truck, the Xv3 15 is my dream sub... the ZV6 is a monster, i think my truck would fall apart lol. Can't wait to hear your review and comparison. Good times!

[@MannuhFestIt]

I own a pair of Zv5 12s and I absolutely love them! The way it hits the lows is amazing and I love how versatile they can be as apparently they perform amazingly well (SQ wise) in a 4th and I’ve been thinking of switching to that setup.

[@215sinakia7]

I have zv5 12’s also love mine as well what amp do you have on yours?

[@MannuhFestIt]

@@215sinakia7 Taramps MD12K and it pushes them nicely!

[@215sinakia7]

@@MannuhFestIt Nice!

[@503AndrewLee]

My 12” Zv5 crushes the lows it’s unbelievable. Hits the lows harder than my 15” Xv3!

[@newmoney8128]

😢😢😢 they discontinued the z5. After their sold and your 2/3 yr warranty is up be careful

[@v3zMedia]

I have 2 zv6 15's waiting to go in a Yukon after not having sounds for 5 years. I'm definitely not prepared for what I've gotten myself into. 🤣

[@Logantheseeker]

How’d it come out?

[@bailey2517]

Update?!

[@EvoSGooD]

Just bought a Zv6, currently biggest sub is a T2-13” 2k. They both weight about the same. The Rockford sounds more musical but I’ll have to wait and test the Zv6 in its new box. I prefer a smaller box since I’m trying to fill the musical gap. Not looking for Spl just louder base.

[@dano7326]

I have the Rockford fosgate t2 13" on a power 2500. I was thinking about upgrading to 2 sundown X V3 12's on 6k salt amp. What are your thoughts?

[@johnd5542]

​@@dano7326I got 2 XV3 12s, and they're fn great. Hitting 146 @ 28hz -43hz playingusic. 149.5 @33hz on burp. Keep in mind I have a bunch of cabin mods in my Tundra to get there (1 1/2 ply behind head liner and back wall with steel brace, sound mat though out. Everytime I reinforce something, the energy is lost at the next weekest point. Which seems to be the floor now. Flexing looks cool on videos, but its horrible for bandwidth and clean sound.

[@mrbass8861]

I have the Zv6 15 and Im in love with that sub🥰 , Thinking about getting a U 15 for my daily to😃 Love the brand, straight up quality🔊🤌

[@Kpaceguy]

Absolutely

[@eugene9941]

I’ve swapped out 2 X12’s for 1 ZV6 15 on a JP83. I going to add another ZV6 15 to my setup. I’ve had the SA, U, and X just skip all of those and get Z series. You won’t regret it.

[@215sinakia7]

Facts

[@bailey2517]

Should I skip the Xv3? Ive been planning to get 2 Xv3-18s in a B-pillar wall for a while now, but now that I'm thinking... If I'm gonna go through all the work of building a fricken wall, I might as well save up a bit more and get the REALLY big sub, right?

[@4gclipseGT]

currently running a single 15 xv3 on a jp23v2. subaru imprezza hatch, 4 CU box, 32hz, catches everyones attention. the lows are super clear and im very satisfied with the overall quality and sound. however, im doing more bass demos so i might move to 2 zv6 on an 8k if I can find a good alternator and enough lithium

[@Kpaceguy]

Do you live near the east coast?

[@4gclipseGT]

@@Kpaceguy Yea north east. I cant find a good alternator for my car.

[@Kpaceguy]

@@4gclipseGT Had one made from apex alternators for my car

[@4gclipseGT]

@@Kpaceguy ill have to look them up thank you

[@K_Vang23]

Is there any difference in sound? I used to own a 10 X when they first came out but I didn’t like the way how it sounded. It sounded good on the lows but when it came to rock,pop music…bass was non existent for the X so I got rid of it.

[@Kpaceguy]

No. One just does everything a bit louder

[@peterotremba8980]

By looking at the t/s parameters, it looks like the ZV6 you just got should have tighter/punchier more accurate bass

[@Kpaceguy]

After putting it in the trunk, I can attest to that!

[@Camlope]

I just swapped out my two x12’s v2 to two zv6 12’s last week and the zv6’s definitely have more impactful lows.

[@soundqubedkiller5885]

Same power for both?

[@Camlope]

@@soundqubedkiller5885 No, I had the X’s on a an old 3k svc sundown amp. The zv6’s are on a taramps bass 5k in a lower tuned (28hz) enclosure. The zv6’s can actually take more power.

[@soundqubedkiller5885]

@Camlope i got my x v2s on a smart 8k and thinking about going to zv6s. But when i think about 2k for subs it hurts my soul. Lol

[@Camlope]

@@soundqubedkiller5885 That smart 8k would be perfect for the zv6’s.Yeah, dealing with car audio when you start doing serious builds it can get expensive quickly.

[@S_BLAINE]

How is the higher range kick on those? Specially switching music. Like rock/Mex & such.

[@Kpaceguy]

They actually play pretty well on mid bass but I have my box and my whole car tuned to be very musical. Most people don't so some people have different experiences

[@S_BLAINE]

@@Kpaceguy I see you tuned low. In 20s. Would you ever change back to the 30s specifically with this sub?

[@Kpaceguy]

I would consider 30-31 to make it louder

[@imthirstyh2o330]

Did you ever do an spl test between the two? I would pay money to see that

[@Kpaceguy]

I didn't yet but can. Been trying to get some car projects done first

[@brendangardner7639]

I've got a pair of xv2s in a wall in my car almost doing a 155 at 20hz I'd be skeptical if a pair of zs would do it on the same power

[@Kpaceguy]

Sundown says it's louder and more violent. We'll find out very soon

[@cptklutch26]

Video or it never happened

[@bailey2517]

You should post a video of it. I'm thinking of doing a wall with 2 18s. Would like to see what you've done with your system!

[@timnowlin1]

I got.2.xv3 12. Putting on 12k or 8k. Bot sure which one.am going with now wish I kinda went with the z but I dont have that much room in car if had a suv .I would got the. Z.

[@timnowlin1]

What size amp

[@jaysolox]

Please do a comparison between these 2 subs and the American bass xmaxx 12 6000 watts

[@Kpaceguy]

Well, first. ZV6 over xv3 all day. 2nd, ZV6 has a higher sensitivity rating so it'll take less power to be just as loud as the xmaxx. Even though the Xmaxx is rated 500 more watts, the ZV6 has a bigger coil so it should handle more power than the xmxx regardless of rating. ZV6 has more xmaxx so it should play lower. Only thing the xmaxx has on the ZV6 is that its 30 pounds lighter.

[@jaysolox]

@@Kpaceguy 💪🏽💪🏽 copy

[@MrHouston314]

@@Kpaceguy SDDN has 2x the motorforce of a zv6 and will decimate American Bass

[@newmoney8128]

Honestly the xv3 is your better sub as you know you can beat that thing down. I purchased a zv6 and the lows were good for a while but not consistent after the break in. I felt like I lost vs my x it seemed to get better and I ran it with a Salt 6 at about 3600 watts they both did great but in my opinion the x continued to kill and I wasn't okay with moving around 200lbs each time I need to check something in the back 😂😂

[@tnocorey7551]

the zv6 can take 5k all day i run mines at 5k and whats your box tuned at bc that zv6 should out preform those x’s anyfay

[@scottouimet2865]

I have 4 xv3 12s im trying to figure out what to do with

Nice I love my sundown nightshade nsv5 12s

[@Kpaceguy]

Those things are massive

[@OnlySubzz]

@Kpaceguy Yes I didn't realize until they showed up got them on a crescendo 8k @ half ohm. All the sundown are nice at all levels

[@delvinchandler]

I have the v2 x12's on a Rockford fosgate t2500 bdcp at half ohm, and I really want the z, but I'm content for the moment, lol. Great video

[@jasonsoutdoorsports8632]

Did you put the zv6 in the same box? I have xv3 and I have a super nice box would I be able to use the same box as my xv3?

[@Kpaceguy]

@jasonsoutdoorsports8632 yes I did at first then made a new box with a different tuning

[@basscaddy1449]

I have a x15v3 on taramps md5k on 40 amp hour headway and 300 amp js alt!

I have 4 ZV6 12s on 2 salt sixes and man those lows pounding 😅

[@Dookiefisher]

Which is better on the lows, I have 2 brand new x10v3 still in box I never hooked up yet cause have 2 zv610s.

[@Kpaceguy]

They both play the same frequencies. Zv6 just does it louder

[@Josephobrien-qo3wq]

so im looking at getting 2 sundown x subs, i cant decide on 12s or 15s though. which would you recommend?

[@Kpaceguy]

If you have the space, go 15s

[@rodolfosotelo5929]

How did you like the zv6 compared to the xv3 bro? What are your thoughts and comparisons on the 2 bro?

[@Kpaceguy]

Zv6 is definitely more violent. It doesn't dig any deeper than the xv3 but it plays louder at those lower notes

[@rodolfosotelo5929]

@@Kpaceguy thank you bro and keep up the great content man. Ive been dealing with post cancer treatments and just residuals of everything and I am planning on redoing my 2 15 set up. I am stuck between a few brands but I myself love playing lows man 20 to 28. Come tax seaon I am just going to pull the trigger on a pair of new 15s man and I have neen researching the zv6 for a while now.

[@Kpaceguy]

@rodolfosotelo5929 only thing I would consider over sundown is maybe def bonce

[@SoberBassHead]

I am running a NSv5 D1 on a JP43 @.5 ohms, it gets down. I have personally owned a xv2 and a Zv4, the Z was better pretty much all the way around. All of Sundown is great though.

[@AceBase5]

I’m stuck between these two for a single 10 setup

[@Kpaceguy]

Z

[@educated_guess]

which one did you end up going with? im also debating between these 2 subs. I have a U10 V2 right now but I have heard from a friend that the X10 is way better. I’m possibly thinking of going with a NSv6 10 . 🤦🏻

[@DibeezyTheGifted]

Zv6 is lb for lb Sundowns best sub. No 170+ builds using x series. Z series have a few 170+ builds.

[@chandlercameron9977]

Pound for pound? Nightshades?!?

[@DibeezyTheGifted]

@@chandlercameron9977 nah. They tend to have issues with heat. I prefer Z and SDDN over nightshade personally.

[@chandlercameron9977]

@DibeezyTheGifted interesting I didn't know that. Assuming that's true.

[@DibeezyTheGifted]

@@chandlercameron9977 are you familiar with the nightshade version 6? NSv6? They added an entire heat sink as well as some new internal pieces to channel the heat away as much as possible. This wasn't done for no reason. The Saint platform motor ( nightshade v4, v5, and v6) is definitely a power n52 neodymium driven motor without question but I do believe heat has been an issue in every version. Even in the down for sound build, which uses the only 4-inch coil saint platform motor I know of, they added fins to the motor to help dissipate the heat. I love the weight savings with that particular platform. I do not love the heat issue. I'll still work Z series for now.

[@chandlercameron9977]

@DibeezyTheGifted Makes sense you seem to know quite a bit lol. something about the neo motors makes them create alot of heat? I have seen the nsv6 and other just didn't know they had but problems with heat.

[@BlackNAVYAmericanVET]

How can I get a GR corolla at MSRP ? In the state of Louisiana ?

[@Kpaceguy]

You cant. They aren't making very many so all dealerships will have some wild asking price. My employee bought our first one and he still had to pay 2500 over sticker
