*Woofer Test Wednesday* Sundown Audio U-15" Spl Test

[@Str8GasGenetics]

Honestly makes me jealous how efficient that setup us, I know those jeeps get loud pretty easy but still hitting 152 on 1 15 @ ~1700w is really impressive.

[@johntaylor8476]

Wow! I'm speechless! Very impressive and well built subwoofer!

[@karl6823]

I cant be surprised anymore sundown is just amazing at all of there products!!

[@iChubbs_81]

What sundown you running

[@soundhounds6510]

I got two U series 15” on a deep hitter 9k in Honda Accord and it plays all day. This video is true to what I’m finding out. Look out lanes these U Series change the game for SPL in compact cars!! I’m seeing 160’s

[@curtisf742]

Hey bud what year Honda Accord? I have a 13’ and I wanna know how I can fit a box for two 15s like you did!!!

[@EBMproductions1]

Hey man how loud on music did your U15s get im considering on buying one for christmas 😎

[@soundhounds6510]

@@EBMproductions1 the U series is a great woofer for the price. I ran the shot out of them and now my buddys running them on an SVC 4000 and he plays that shit on music all day. I was running them in comp before putting 12,000 watts on them for burps at 36hz and they took it. I am currently running 3-15” ZV5’s on a salt 12 and I gained 5dbs going from the U to ZV5’s. If I was getting a sub for my daily it would be a U you can’t beat the price!

[@EBMproductions1]

@@soundhounds6510 Hell yeah thats even more true seeing as the DD715/815's that used be sold in my country is even more expensive then the U series subs now so yeah ill ship them in by this time or Augusts side next year this build i have in mind will take round that time to save up for and yeah cause all i want is 150Db's on music.

[@DjR3aper]

When you had the 9k on them, were they set to play at 9k (as in you set the gain with a multimeter to set the voltage to put out 9k before rise)

[@TheMrfroth]

Would love to see you put a ZV5-18 to the test next week. Keep doing what you guys do. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@johnbennett8964]

Great video as always. Crazy how tough these subs are

[@SATANALEX9]

I just got 2 Sundown U-Series 10 inch dual 4 ohms from the yard sale only paid $235.00 a piece fore them all coils read great and accurate I think there in the yard sale because a little minor messy glue issue I think I got a steal never owned a Sundown product before and I can tell you is these subs mean business very impressed considering I’m a car audio advocate for 30 years now nothing but Sundown for me now.

[@hammerhead612]

awesome video... can't wait see you do a x rev- 2 15

[@EBMproductions1]

i like the music test you added keep that up and interestingly the Loudest single 15 non walled ive seen is the Targa Comp 15 here locally sub ran 176.4DB termlab on the windshield@60hz on somewhere between 9k and 15k watts and recently a guy ran 158.8DB in the kick@57hz non walled single amp on about 4800watts think the sub can go louder though. This makes me wonder How loud does your Team 15 subs go i mean damn 5000watts Rms still 159.3DB is insanely high

[@auditrevor]

Just ordered one to put in my 01 crew cab silverado. I built a box that’s 4 cubic foot that takes up the small seat on the rear bench that folds down. Any ways I haven’t been in the car audio scene since high school (graduated in 06) so I bought crap that I had back then and loved (power acoustik mofo 15 and a power acoustik amp. Ran them for a couple weeks and realized they either went extremely downhill over the years or my taste has changed. Either way sending them back and ordered a sundown u 15 and taramps hd3000 amp. Hopefully it will scratch my itch. It’s really hard to try to shop for car audio stuff now since so much has changed over the years but this video sold me on it.

[@MazdaBass971]

From the info i heard from a compeitor that runs the sundown compact neo models, he tested the U series sub and it metered only 2 tenths lower than the compact neo v2 in a apples to apples configuration. Pretty damn impressive subs!

[@gordn24555]

great video! that sub was sealed good, didnt c any smoke till the sub was lifted up

[@Johnfrank249sc-w4ddx]

Nice derrick !!! like that you included the low power runs to see efficacy of your set up .. On average what does that truck drop sealed on dash just trying to see where the efficiencies at from a standpoint, Compared to other single 15 runs ss

[@krystaldelacruz2010]

Great video 👍 I'll like to see sealed on the dash test .

[@lowhertzhighspl]

That's what I'm talking about! Sealed/Dash!

[@barrettalen]

I think that I'm loving Sundown. I've spent plenty of loot between a few brands. It took 2 c2400's and 2 Wolfram audio AG 15"s to get my first 150 in a Grand Cherokee. I'm sold on the U I've been tossing around buying an X 12 however I think I'm going to go with a single U15 on a CAB22 and if it doesn't sound like my expectations I have a JP23V1.5 to send it.

[@TheCpuCrew]

Great videos ! I need one of those

[@kevinAuman1]

Lol, for sale on craigslist "slightly used" sundown U15 🤣

[@dcraig63]

Brutal test, but very impressive scores!

[@lowhertzhighspl]

I can't seem to find an inexpensive method for SPL testing a ~150db car audio system. So far the devices require hundreds of dollars. Someone ought to invent a tiny microphone that plugs into a smartphone via 3.5 mm jack that reads up to 150 dbs and uses a particular db/spl app which tops out at 130db for the free trial version and jumps up to a higher db by upgrading to the Pro version of the app.. the microphone would need a price point of around $50. They'd sell like hotcakes IF it's accurate!

[@skitz0phr3n1k]

I got back into car audio bc it keeps me busy.. just got out a 8 yr misery type situation. Anyways ever since I heard about sundown I've been in love even though it's pricey... I started w American bass which is pretty good as well.... But I've got this exact u15 sitting in my Amazon cart right now. I shop Amazon bc Oklahoma only deals w dd Memphis and kicker... This video is showing sundown is exactly what I want.. got my custom single 15 8³ ft box homemade at 33hz and strapping an Orion 2500 rms amp to it.. I believe I'll have what I want in my lil escape. 😁😁😁

[@richardmartin8185]

Y'all didn't hold back ! Great info and great Sub it took an ass whooping fer Shure

[@SigmaBallistics]

First!! Goodmorning!! Sundown ftw!!!!

[@spuds7677]

So, these subs do well at 57 Hz but who one in their right mind would actully play music at 57 Hz. Anyway can you get some numbers playing lows like 32 or maybe 35 Hz. I'm like being loud but it's all about the lows.

[@DibeezyTheGifted]

I hit a 145 with a single U 15 tuned to 32 hz but peaked at 46 after cabin gain from the trunk of a Maxima rear firing on 1800rms after rise. That U series subs are very musical and hit hard as f***. If you want Lows look at x series or zv5. U series are more like zv3

[@spuds7677]

I had a pair of Z-V3 12s and sold them to pick up some x-15s. I liked the Z-v3s better than the X-15s. Sold the x-15s and bought a pair of Acendant Audio 15s.

[@DibeezyTheGifted]

@@spuds7677 the ascendent audio are resemblant to the x-series in my opinion lol. They don't play as low and they are slightly more musical though. People think they want Lows until they realize you lose all them upper frequencies. If it's music you're after crispy and clear, U series fit the bill imo

[@csj9619]

153 dB for a single 15" sub on 1,500 watts is impressive. So much so, my upgrade will likely include on of these. I didn't realize how big the U-15 was until seeing someone hold one of 'em.

[@thesaltyburban5557]

are you guys going to test any of the PowerHouse Subs like the nsv4 zv5 teams

[@RydinginStyle72]

Yeah but what will it do with 14.8 v? In an average box like sealed? Or ported, not magic box?

I've already tested the SA-15" and SA-18" in the Jeep. There's videos here on the channel.

[@getfresh25]

So Derrick what are the significant difference between the x and the u series subs other than the x looks like they have more of an excursion capability but both are 1500 watts rms

[@juniorjay5117]

So why keep the rms rating at 1500? Seems like it could easily do 1750 or even 2k, no?

[@irishmanbd8447]

What are the chances i can get the blueprint for that box? What's the box tuned to?

[@carlosgonzales1419]

I know this is an old video but would you happen to have a u series 15 blown sub for sale?

[@BenaresDarkness]

TBH it probably would have done that 30 second music if it hadn't gone through the role test before hand

[@UnofficialAudio]

It probably would have. Each test was done back to back with a minimal break between them. The sub still made it 25 seconds into that last music run with over 6,000 watts into it.

[@getpaid200]

Where is the mic? Up front or right next to the box?

[@DjR3aper]

If subs take more power sealed, how much more could i put on it for daily? 2500rms?

beastly lil subs!

That's what's up I need to holla at u

[@mrdroskies]

so your saying the chineese built and the usa built versions of this sub are identical quality?

Seeing as how they put 12k on that thing, its safe to say if sundown wrote max power ratings on the subs like the cheap companies do, i'd believe them

[@UnofficialAudio]

loud x loud x loud

[@jamesbondcaraudio4247]

I’m sure the box isn’t magic. But they have probably spent a lot of time, energy and money to get it where it is at. I don’t blame them for not revealing the design.

[@UnofficialAudio]

There really isn't anything special about the design. It's an spl box that was built and tuned for this application. It won't work well for everyone so no point in others trying to duplicate it. You'll just be upset when it doesn't work for you.

[@DibeezyTheGifted]

@@jamesbondcaraudio4247 all it is is a box tuned really high. Nothing special about it whatsoever. High tuning yield higher SPL. Low tuning yields better for music. Plain and simple

[@jamesbondcaraudio4247]

Dibeezy ThaGifted I know the box ain’t special but it’s not plain and simple. You can have an enclosure that is tuned high and yields say a 150 dB @ 40hz with a certain subwoofer on a certain amount of power. Now throw a different subwoofer in the same enclosure and it will not perform the same.

[@joshd9160]

Still lost at what should I get 2 sundown u 15s or 2 sundown x 15s on 3k for a daily application. They say the xs only sound good for lows but struggle for overall sound while the u series are from what I has a overall sound, listen to mainly rap.

[@ert-wert]

I'm bout to throw 3k at a single U....what did you end up doing and how is it?

[@joshd9160]

@@ert-wert well at the time i was going to get the u series, i wanted to run 2 12s in a custom ported box on about 3400 rms, they had the 12s d4 for $200 something each online at sound solution audio i think they still do🤔. But then the trade war happen and prices went up and i got tired of looking around for batts,amps, etc lmao but i could not live with myself going to a store and overpaying for what i could have found for $100s cheaper if i looked long enough. So i settled for some massive audio gtx 12s which sound good for right now im may get a custom ported box for them soon, but im still looking to upgrade. Maybe i will wait until someone blows their whole income tax check on a system and are now selling it online or sold it at a pawnshop because their desperate for cash😂😂😂😂
