[@brine80]

I truly give you credit for being honest and showing the little "oopsie" when your bit when through the surround. You could have edited that out and nobody would have ever known. This is also good to show to remind us how easy it can happen if your not conscious and careful when screwing these things down. I had to climb in through my trunk and rear seat (folded down) when I was younger because I locked my keys in the car and it was the easiest way to get into it. I should have pulled my sub box out completely, but i didnt, I just turned it sideways and started climbing. My knee went through the center cap and broke it. I ran those MA audio 12's (I believe they were 600 rms) for the next 7 or so yrs no prob, after several yrs previously transferring from car to car I owned at the time. (These subs were run hard before being given to me). I was given those subs somewhere around 1998-2000 and ran them 10+yrs on whatever amp I had at the time, lastly an Alpine mono block (cant remember the model, I believe it was an MR series, like 300-400watt or something) and both the amp and the subs still live in my garage today. They both still worked when I retired them about 4 yrs ago. Goes to show how well these subs were built, and how well that little mono amp was built. I could bring them back to life now if I had the trunk space and a proper box for them.

[@DIYAudioGuy]

Cool!

I had three 12 inch MTX Road Thunder. Two ported and one in a bandpass. The two ported from a 300w Jensen, the Bandpass from a Radio Shack 200w Amplifier. They were underpowered but because there was three of them it did decently. EDIT: I didn't use the crappy MTX boxes, I had a large ported box that helped them not need as much power and reach a bit lower.

For a good cheap prefab box to use for basic testing is the Skar SK1X12V. It is actually a good match for the Sundown SA 12" classic, I got 2 of them running in my vehicle. It should yield better results even for cheap subs.

[@DIYAudioGuy]

Absolutely, these subs would all perform better in a better box.

[@cuoresportivo155]

I recently bought a living room subwoofer (with enclosure) but changed the driver out with one from a broken JBL unit. I also added the stuffing from the jbl into the enclosure. It's a lot less sensitive but also less boomy now, and I can actually tune the volume in better The amp is supposedly W RMS/ 400W peak. The driver I took out looks a lot like that SSL one. I'm thinking to make a sealed enclosure to fit into the boot of my new car with that driver and use the EQ on the head unit to reduce the low frequencies going to the door mounted speakers. Got an old Clarion amp that got enough power, built in LPF and gain. I think that should work to get some bass going

[@DIYAudioGuy]

Sounds like a fun project!

[@paulcampbell8696]

MANY relatively expensive powered home sub like Velodyne use drivers similar to the GRS. It's what they do with the box and amp that makes them perform reasonably.

I tried two of the autotek 12's which are the same as Hifonics. They both fried after a couple days on practically no gains turned on and using mid volume for breal in. Both turned super crunchy which is a shame because i really tried not to burn the VC on the second one. I think about 150w rms is all they took before both of them burned the VC at 50hz lpf setting.

Something has been bugging me for a while. I have a question that isn't relevant to this particular video but is relevant to the audio world. If Spotify and KZbin keeps music at or below -14dB, should we use a -10dB test tone to set our amplifier gain. Wouldn't that still provide at least 4 dB of headroom while allowing you to access more power from your amplifier/speaker combo? Or am i missing something?

[@shawnlibby675]

Good comparison for subwoofers except for dual voice coil totally changes... I've also seen people give dual voice coil Subs a bad name because sometimes people wire a dual voice coil sub the wrong way and have it play for a few days and then burn up then.. they want to give the speaker a bad name.. but I did see a video of a guy pounding on that dual voice coil Hifonics subwoofer.. the exact one you have in the video and he had it hooked up with no box... and he was pounding on that thing whatever a used worked well it did not hurt the sub

After I spent 40 or so hours installing sound deadening. It blew a head gasket. Anyway, I am thinking about using these 6x8’s in my home surround system. I have two 12’s as subwoofers and 2 DIY cabinets with 6in mids and 3.5in tweets. It’s missing a lot of the 200hz to 1khz or mid bass. I already have 2 way and 3 way crossovers sitting around. These particular 6x8’s are heavy for what they are. They’re rated 125w RMS and most importantly are 8ohm speakers. Do you think they would sound good in a home system? The oval shape has me wondering if I should turn one horizontal and one vertical (since I have 4) in each cabinet or is that stupid? I’m just really missing the heavy rhythm in rock and roll. I was going to buy a couple Dayton 8 inch pro mid bass speakers but I have these 6x8’s and they are supposed to be for this range. Any advice would be appreciated. Don’t bother sugar coating it. I’m a grown man.

It is possible to build a great sounding sub with SOME sub-par drivers as I did for my second (tow behind my motorhome vehicle) But you have to be VERY selective.

With the aid of Win-ISP, I had a small 12" enclosure with a 28 Hz Fb that does a surprising job of clearing ear wax and annoying my wife at the same time. :) After a demo for my friends, they all say "Whaaaat?" when they see what just bent their ears. lol it IS a Boss :)

I really think Skar has the best entry level subs on the market at the moment. Just a few dollars more, gets you a solid performing sub, just keep expectations realistic. The smaller size subs being the better performers than their larger counterparts. That's generally true for any brand of entry level subwoofers. Thanks for the video, as this is good knowledge for the rest of us on a not so big budget regretfully. But really, you don't have to spend much to get a much better performing stereo since standard OEM stereos basically suck. You get a video screen these days.

[@DIYAudioGuy]

Astro Van, right?

[@kosheronlynobacon1542]

I'd use those for mids only

[@bigbassbenjj2362]

Any sub can be overpowered, I'd like to see the subs tested "fairly" at rms rating since your smd meter shows rms power that is being fed to the subs.

[@DIYAudioGuy]

To bad most of these cheap subs don't provide a realistic RMS rating.
