Let Rockville try to blow it up....wait, that didn't work with the SA12, so maybe not, lol

[@grumpysteelman]

Dude I laughed out loud like a crazy person then realized it was BigD 😂

[@bassheadsofvanwert1007]

I say big d and you get together and make a video of seeing if you guys can blow it up. That would be awesome Derek.

23:50 seen a whiff of smoke

u can clip then to hell & they still good

[@jasonghering4389]

23:49 you see smoke in the back of it. I know it's probably hard to blow it. Just I notice as soon as it starts to smoke he stops the music and video. Kinda looks fishy.

[@mellowjammer]

He would have smelled that...I think he knew it and stopped the 40Hz tone. You're right - he doesn't mention it at all.......something fishy here.

[@Aaron-yw2pw]

well at 40hz that much power yes it will start to smoke not only that he was also clipping it. its a giving that it was smoking thats to be expected

[@djshedd77]

@Mark Seven he said that the only way to destroy it would be to clip it to death (which is what caused the smoking, playing 40hz.)

[@christopherparis6841]

Of course he stopped the vid shits no surprise every audio manufacturer makes videos that directly are made to sell you any lie or bs they want. Put simply my Rockville punisher whooped the fucking brains out of a power bass 600 dollar 15 inch pos.

[@MadDragon75]

Paused to answer @ 25:30. I don't blow subs up. I match the RMS power rating to the RMS rating on the amplifiers. The two amps here average 1,500 watts and I devided that by three. 500 watts to each sub. I'm shocked that the MTX single stack single coil 2Ω subs take the power. I haven't toasted or slinky the coils yet. When I do.. Sundown will replace them.

[@christopherparis6841]

No coil is a single coil surely not at 2 ohms. Just cause there's one connect doesn't mean it's not an 8 layer bifilar coil......fkn dummies.

[@MadDragon75]

@@christopherparis6841 says the guy that didn't own the 2Ω stamped woofers. Next you're going to tell me my Skar EVL 12" Isn't a true dual 1ohm sub exactly. Most people are suggestive and helpful and can manage portraying a manly conversation without childish and pathetic insults to boost their ego. Did you get beat up in school a lot? Abusive parents or siblings? You need a hug?

[@douglasyates9243]

INSTEAD OF KILLING A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF EQUIPMENT, YOU SHOULD BE BLOWING APART PRE-FAB BOXES OR SOMETHING MORE SATISFYING, IN MY HUMBLE OPINION.

[@galacticacid2489]

Blowing a speaker helps you make it better, to upgrade a speaker you have to rip it completely apart so do it in a fun way

[@thehnic734]

You want to know what I think?! I think you guys have the beat job on the planet! Getting paid to test subs, amps and other equipment is a dream job!💯

[@StressfulMage]

Yes indeed It is a wonderful job at mind. But that's all they show on camera there's usually a lot more than that.

[@moosey1978]

Straight to the wall socket.

[@lxrdvader2021]

I wonder how long it would survive🤔

[@sroach3775]

Random question. How much difference would it make in an enclosure? As far as the surround flex and the occasional popping?

[@jaym7494]

Normally, running a sub at high power in free air wrecks it. Cheap subs need the air to compress in an enclosure like suspension, to protect them from over extending. This is clearly not a cheap sub.

[@gravity8197]

"I think I know what else we can do to beat on this thing" *cuts to bragging* "I don't know what else I can do to torture this thing."

[@NickFudge1]

Would have been cool to see you play some modified music though. That’s what most people who are into car audio and would buy a sub like this are going to play anyways. (Decaf, dj Russticals, maximum bass music) those are trustworthy names, unlike your typical KZbin music video 🤷🏼‍♂️ Still dig the test though!

[@laykehicks8413]

That's box dependent, not subwoofer.

[@willianroberts7400]

Thank you for this video it show me that even though I think your subwoofers are pricey They're worth it am I see now you get what you pay for So I guess I'm gonna have to start saving Put another amplifier on extract probably and then it will blow

Absolutely wild to think how much more the subs I have can take you’re playing the sub free air and before you actually started turning the volume up like the first test that you did that’s about what my subs are moving in my box right now they’re maxed out on power and I’m doing a 150 in the 20s😅😅😅I can’t wait to get more power to my subs I have Xv3 15s
