The BEST Loaded Subwoofer Box on Amazon!

They have a dual loaded enclosure for only $100 more. 269. Can you do a demo on one of them with say a tarramps 3000?

Hopefully we are seeing the start of better prefab boxes hitting the market. This is the way to build one. I for one am looking forward to what Stinger has planned for the future. Very nice review and demo Justin. 👍👍

[@thebeanner1]

That enclosure is pretty impressive the way it has the bracing for the motor makes the sub and enclosure a one piece fusing the sub and enclosure making everything stronger and more ridged making for less box flex meaning more output im 100 % impressed by stinger on this job well done..

[@joeweber5020]

After a ton of research, I ordered this sub and amp. After installation, I was absolutely blown away by the performance of this setup. Got very loud and quallity seamed very good for the price. After about 2 weeks I was noticing the driver getting a bit quieter. I thought maybe I was just getting used to the bass level. But by week 3, listening to country music, believe it or not, the driver froze up completely. I was very shocked, to say the least. I have never had the gain higher than 50% and ran the bass nob to the front of the car and was set right around 1/4 on. I called Stinger, and they told me to send it back through Amazon for a refund. I told them that I liked the enclosure, and I just wanted to swap it out. They told me that they would only give me a refund. Im a little disappointed because with the way it was built, thought I would get many years of life out of it. I will keep you all posted with the conclusion of this return. But maybe I should take the money and order a Skar like I originally planned.

[@DIYAudioGuy]

Sorry to hear that. Next time give this a watch when you set up the subwoofer: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3PGeIKlh69niNEsi=DGmMYzHsDjackWfr

Why not just order another one with your refund money?

[@tonyzeno2715]

After going through over a dozen different subwoofers.. from Covid til now.. I finally settles on 2 10 type Rs in a JL HO Box.. INSANELY loud and still sound Good. I did take 1 look at these new Stinger Subs/Enclosures and Knew they would be Awesome. Their unloaded enclosures are impressive as well.

[@christiandshatto7765]

Def. A good, reliable, quality brand.( I still believe these subs/amps were part of the phoenix gold series,& they just put their logo on them since pg wont be sold in the usa anymore. Makes sense to not loose inventory imo. I bought the mt 1000.1 with a coupon, delivered for $108! Still going to use my D’amore mono block👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼)

[@DIYAudioGuy]

Right, and at the same time audio control started selling subwoofers. What are the odds that two AAMP brands starting making more product when Phoenix Gold was phased out of the US market?

[@russelldaniels1797]

I don't care if they were Phoenix Gold, Audiocontrol, or or anything else. They're Stinger now, and they're good stuff. I feel the prices may go up a little bit, now that the word has gotten out on the quality and craftsmanship for the price.

[@TheGodofSEO]

Stinger is seriously mounting an offense on the industry. First the amps, now sub boxes and subs.

[@DIYAudioGuy]

Yes.

[@bdc211]

i agree. true daily driver gear, at a great price and performance.

[@jesselusky2074]

No it isn't lol... They have like 3 amplifiers, biggest one being 1000w and it's chinese crap. They have 1 subwoofer which is decent, cheap basket, chinese coils, single tiny tinsel lead. The box is decent but that brace in the center is 100% pointless and if anything will make the sub sound worse.

Earlier this summer there was a little confusion on Amazon with the pricing. I picked up a 12" DC model for the price of the lower model in your video. I've picked up their 700, 1,000, and 1,500 watt amplifiers and their 10" and 12" loaded enclosures this year, before the chaos cleared. Systems for all three of my vehicles for under a thousand dollars!

Philips head screws are supposed to cam out by design and they're often used when we should be using square/hex/star pattern. Those give us no cam-out torque and thus less likely to strip. It's $1 more to use good screws. We should start making this part of our quality assessments.

When they first came out you could get the DC2 (1000 rms) loaded with a MT1500 for $269. It sounded great but it was lacking on the lows. You could tell the box was too small for that specific sub. I think the box is the same as the one in the video.

Yeah good sounding sub. Definitely need to keep in mind with the price. I like Stinger products. Overall quality is good to better throughout everything they sell. It's crazy some of Stinger's prices, because I don't see Stinger as a "budget" brand. I'd say probably some of the best loaded subwoofers boxes out there since they use 3/4 inch MDF.

[@DIYAudioGuy]

Totally agree

[@johannjohann6523]

When doing the frequency test on the sub, was it me? Or did 35 Hz sound lower in pitch than 30 Hz? Maybe it's just my crappy stereo (which is a bit older but not so crappy). lol

[@onesikm3]

Been debating on returning the used attend box I got from Amazon and getting one of these

[@OxBlitzkriegxO]

nice test. i would venture to say that the downfiring position is going to offer the smoother response of the 2 options. no one really wants a huge bump at 50hz anyways.

[@DIYAudioGuy]

Yes, the response was a little flatter. I wonder if it would be different in a car trunk.

[@JamesZ-py1xl]

There Amps are no joke! I got the 700.1 and been playing it at 2ohms and now 1ohm. It's rated at 700rms but I think it's pushing 1000w because it makes my 1000w max sub start to smell like it's burning at full volume

[@DIYAudioGuy]

No doubt the thing can generate a thousand Watts on a subwoofer. kzbin.info/www/bejne/najTZZJ3rrGdgZIsi=fcgikdulYu3ApHT1 Just make sure you're not clipping, if you are you will destroy the sub.

[@Hammerback0]

I’d probably try that over a similarly priced Sundown or similarly over marketed subs. SKAR needs to step up their game and start sponsoring some social media influencers. Every new product is pushed as “better than Skar”, can’t remember a video of “Power Acoustik killer”, “Better than a Kicker?” Or the obvious, anything sold at DFS..😂

[@DIYAudioGuy]

Can you clarify what you mean by lossy?

[@Grommet2007]

@@DIYAudioGuy Box losses, caused by absorbent material in the box, or leaks. The result is less output around Fb, the resonance frequency. Normally referred to in Ql. Some box modelling programs allow you to adjust it, and most assume a value of 7 for Ql (the higher the Ql, the lower the box losses). The value of the impedance minimum at Fb compared to Re can give a good idea of the extent of the box losses. The larger the value of this ratio, the higher the box losses.
