Another true review, Like all others Parker gives you the real deal review, no sugar coating with Parker The Bass Head. That is Why Big Jeff Audio and other manufactures work with him.. I love to see reviews that are not paid for.

[@HillbillyRefrigeration]

Man I’ve been hitting your eBay store for a minute. Highly recommend!

[@johndoe..THE_REAL_JOHN-DOE]

​@@northtexasairgunhunter3990 what kinda sub

[@areasonablethought610]

I want some deaf bonce and I'm going to be hitting you up soon.

[@ogairbender808]

Your the first guy I made an online buy for car audio back in 2015 I think

[@davidmarles9409]

Big Jeff Audio you are correct! Great reviews always. Thanks for helping the community figure out what's worthy of buying! Could you possibly help me out? Above I believe someone is using a fake Parker the Bass Head account to contact me. Could you please let me know if this is legitimate or fake? It's in the comments above.

[@groundshakersociety6637]

Never tried their subs but their mids are some of the best out their for the price. I have 2 of their MD8 on a taramps smart 3k at 4ohms and it takes that power nicely. I'm going back to their MR8 because they're some of the cleanest sounding vocal heavy mids.

[@BassMaann]

Timpano or PRV's only way to go for mids/highs

[@aidang3991]

Gotta say Jeff is building a really awesome brand for himself by the people he's partnering with. Really enjoy seeing the collaboration in the community and actually would be excited to bring my business to a dude that knows and is involved with his audience.

[@jondoe6618]

Looks like a great sub! That much power on almost any sub will have similar if not far worse results.

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

For real!!

[@bbay1977]

Look like it did fine to me. I really dont think anyone out there will push it as hard as you did with that 3 minute sound track. Sure it gives a idea of it will make ot through without any problems but I hope nobody takes the video the wrong way. Like you said in the video, music goes up and down and allows a subwoofer to cool during the time it is playing instead of hard hitting test tone for a period of time. I might have to check into a pair of 15's or 18's for my next build I'm working on.

[@bugzycapone]

He beat the shit out of that sub. IT'S SMOKIN' YAWL. I love this channel.

[@marshmccloskey4359]

Big Jeff is the new kid on the block with JP already having been there for awhile & I think it’s the best thing that could happen for all of us sq & basshead guys. I greatly appreciate them both & I’m extremely grateful for their presence in the car audio world…oh yeah, can’t forget Sky High Car Audio in there…sky high is also great, but they seriously need to rework their online website, It’s a total pain in the culo to navigate…. Waiting on some 8 gauge ofc subwoofer wire from them right now & forget about finding out where it is as far as the shipment chain..

[@davidmarles9409]

Very surprised that it took that out of the box free air. That's pretty damn good for a budget sub. I should also mention that most every subwoofer manufacturer states that in free air environment the subwoofer RMS is about 1/4. So this subwoofer actually far surpassed that.

[@Skarfar90]

I remember Derek "BigD" testing some Timpano amps a couple years ago, which wasn't that great. But the subs and speakers look really nice. It is a Brazilian company as far as I know

[@derekgardin1512]

Ya no Brazillian for me.

​@@SegregatedZebrajunk look one up on robot underground there is a sub under 250 that outperforms the w7 in every spec and measurement watch robot underground slice open every jl model showing factually what your dollars provide and um seriously its no more than a 350 400 dollar max sub n a very purpose built to be a pain in users ass if ever blown smfh stupid to not use common soft parts plus who tfk pays a grand plus for a 2 layer voice coil???? If it's foreign language to ya then just keep buying sticker one upper rip off disposable junk but hey man its a w7 dude lmffao sorry don't mean to be rude but wake up already or share the money you have to waste

[@TheRepos296]

I Still have one of there subs. There ok for starters nothing wrong really, just don't expect them to take crazy power. That being said their bullet 6.5^s are something else. they take crazy power and very very loud, you'd be surprised what they sound like too. You should try them on for size . I was and still am impressed. I'm keeping them Thanks for reviewing these subs. Great fun. 👍

[@anthonywelliver9050]

You should give resilient sounds a try. I've heard good things about them.

[@brianwaller7383]

You should use threaded inserts in your boxes instead of wood screws. I started doing that and you can move subs in and out without ruining the baffle

[@derekgardin1512]

I have that problem with my MTX Thunder 8000 subs, Xtants and MTX9500s, basket just a bit bigger so I always have to sand the box opening.

[@devonlee3444]

My full car audio system is Timpano and I have these same 2 x 12" in my car and they play really amazing. I have the Timpano 3k amp on them. I had them in a ported box first sounded amazing, now i have them in a 4th order bandpass box tuned to 49hz and they sound even more amazing. The bass line matches up well enough for my midrange of 8 x 8" Timpano MD8 Slim in my 2 front doors

[@Supercharged1976]

Big Jeff prolly like...well so much for selling these damn things now....thanks Parker. LOL!

[@lukeconnor2843]

Love your videos Parker ! If you're gonna do power test keep it in the Box of course subwoofer gonna blow in free air If the subwoofer is not designed for Infinite baffle!

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

The problem is if I leave them in the box they over heat quicker. So either way it’s not optimal. Point being this is an extremely brutal test so it lasting 3 minutes is pretty good

[@lukeconnor2843]

Can you invert the sub in the Box to let the motor structure breeze

[@Chuck_Sanders]

@@ParkerTheBasshead I see your point, but nobody is playing/burping subs in a free air environment. Doing the tests in the enclosure is actually more optimal, as 90% of subs aren't designed for infinite baffle/ free air. I personally, would start testing in the enclosure, as that's how you'll truly torture test the driver properly. Plus your viewers will get a better idea, if which subwoofers handle rated power and which ones cooling is better than others. 👍 for a good review.

[@jarrodbrennan121]

old school rule of thumb is you half the rms for free air. some subs are underated some over rated. also using a random ported box to test a woofer isnt exactly fair to the sub. box size and port tuning matter.

[@yyessirr]

@@Chuck_Sanders I think your missing the idea

[@zoominnboomin]

Do this rms test to the gothics, but at 600 watts. Id love to see if it could at least take 600 lol

[@95Sn95]

I agree running separate wires and summing them at the terminals or soldering wires together into 1 because of tiny terminals does suck. I had n NVX vcw few years back n it had tinsey terminals. The AB elites 12s I built a box and put together for buddy had small terminals I had Y them together with soldier.

[@budgetaudiowithJ]

Great reviews man!!

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Thank you!!

[@e-mailuser9811]

Subwoofer power ratings are an expression of what the speakers are supposed to handle while INSIDE the enclosure. The pressure from the backwave helps to stabilize the motion of the cone and prevent the woofer from over-excurting. This is why sealed woofers handle more power than ported. By running RMS power to a woofer in a free-air situation you are significantly overloading the voice coil and suspension. In essence, you're testing a product in an application it was never designed for. To then draw a conclusion and broadcast it to your viewers (that the woofer can't handle its RMS rating) might be a bit irresponsible

[@davidmarles9409]

What you said about a sealed box is true but not for a ported box since playing below tuning frequency causes unloading and the sub acts like it's in a free air setup. This test was an extremely tuff test on the sub but it is a very accurate test. In a sealed box heat is trapped inside the box and the sub can get very hot very fast. This test was valid for what it was....a torture test as he said. Pretty apparent these are SPL subs with a high fs of 39hz so he did to them what SPL competition does.....beats the hell out of them!

[@e-mailuser9811]

It's true that sealed woofers trap heat inside the box, but companies can take that into consideration when coming up with power ratings. What they don't factor in, is free-air performance.

[@davidmarles9409]

@@e-mailuser9811 that's not true. Many many companies rate there speakers for free air use. You just have to pay attention to the manufacturer suggestions. Which as I said before for most subs they specifically state in free air the speakers RMS power is cut in half or sometimes a 1/4 of it's rated power. Also you assume all manufacturers specifically say to use a sealed box when in fact many subs on the market are designed specifically for vented/ported boxes. Any sub with a QTS parameter of .7 or higher is suitable for free air play.

[@mattsnider5904]

Put the torture test to some subs you have lying around...if you don't mind if they blow. Parker rules. Big Jeff the basshead has a good ring to it as well. Great video love the spl tests!!!

[@willyroq5777]

Thank you for the vid i been looking at these for a while

[@jlvarieties6359]

From what I seen a good test box for subs has been qbomb I have had bdc4s and comp c’s in there and they are relatively different on what they require for space but they both preformed outstanding in the qbomb

[@trentdawg2832]

Bdc4s are the shiznit…i have (4) 12’s in the trunk of my nova and (4) 6.5”s in under the back seat of my duramax……they are definitely hitters and a great value

I don't think an rms rating is at free air. More like around recommended enclosure specs. No way for it to build pressure behind the cone to keep it linear.

This is just a small amount of constructive criticism I watch all of your review videos your installs the shows that you go to I would like for you to take this constructive criticism and run with it don't take it as being offensive that is the last thing I would like to do when you are talking about the venting on a motor of a subwoofer you state that there is Paul venting and then

Same sub as audio legion gladiator same motor same basket same boot on the magnet with timpano name timpano uses a smaller not a wide but taller surround

[@Chuck_Sanders]

The Gladiator GLA12 subwoofer, is stamped steel frames, and the Gladiator motor structure didn't have a bumped back plate design, it has a flat back plate and the coil isn't a 3" as is the Timpano. The Gladiator used the same steel frame, as the Soundstream R3 reference series and a few other companies though.
