WALMART Subs Caught on FIRE! Blowing 6 of the CHEAPEST Walmart Subwoofers!

Took 6 of the cheapest Walmart subwoofers (Jenson J12W) and put them to the full test to see where they would blow! Ended in FIRE.

[@wal]

Woah man, that was some smoke and fire show! As with last year's $20 Walmart Blaupunkt 12's, it's kinda crazy the amount of bass you can get for relatively little money. Six of these and a 1500W amp and you've got some serious thump (in the correct box of course). Great video, this one will be a big hit I bet. Already 18k views in one day, that's awesome!

@@richhancock3110 its almost hard not hate on Rockville... Especially if you watch the car audio videos they make of them 'testing their subs & amps. Lol its just comical, I do not see how anyone could take them serious. The sad part is they could actually be a legit car audio company if they truly wanted to. It's too easy to just not cut corners. Plus there's already more than enough 'budget' brands in car audio as it is & on top of that a few that I can think of right off hand that are actually making reliable gear that can perform at the same time while taking a beating. So speaking truthfully Rockville is just in the way, taking up space, all while contributing nothing.

The Sundown SIA amps are coming soon. Full bridge but regulated power supply (same power 1&2 ohms). They didn't announce any of the 3k+ models yet though I think. Taramps smart 5k and 8k (hopefully 12k sometime) coming too with same regulated power supply feature, better protection circuit than the MD and more. Sfb amps are close to a copy of the Soundigital amps design.

You should try those Jensen amps too, awesome for the price and they put out more than rated crazy huh.
