Worlds CHEAPEST subwoofer takes on 12,000 WATT Amp!!!

In this video I purchase and connect the cheapest subwoofer I could find online (Pyle) to my crescendo Encore 12k to prove that you can run low powered subs on a high power setup if need be. Proving the point it is better to have headroom and over power your speakers rather than under power them. Enjoy!

[@dwmaddawgs]

Remembers when Pyle was the powerhouse of DJ equipment along with Pyramid Lanzar and Cerwin Vega.

[@NextLevelCarAudio]

Yep lol

[@thomasdiasiv7079]

Finally someone saves a sub than blowing it up THANK YOU ALL GEAR MATTERS

[@NextLevelCarAudio]

Lol.... that’s what I’m sayin’ 😂

[@johnmathers1259]

So I’m old-school. And I’m in my 50s. About 35 years ago Pyle Was the speaker to go to if you wanted base. If you look at what they called a Pyle driver 6 x 9 it was as heavy as some of the 10 inch subs today. It’s probably 3 Times heavier than that subwoofer.

[@NextLevelCarAudio]

That’s awesome

[@infiniteblaz3416]

There’s a lot of misconceptions about power in the car audio community making me glad that this video was made. People think that sending too much power to a driver will shorten its lifespan when that’s not the case. It actually plays better because of the extra dynamic power available. My Comp S that’s rated for 300 rms/600 peak receives about 500 watts of clean power and it has no problems utilizing it. As someone else said, blowing equipment is usually when clipping and excess distortion comes into play otherwise you’ll be fine. Coil may get warm but if your woofer has a good cooling system, that shouldn’t be too much of a problem either.

[@bigtike0716]

Yup and the box being ported also adds to the cooling dynamics

[@TimpBizkit]

Not sure, clipping is usually about tweeters because they get more power when trying to reproduce all the harmonics in squared off waves. Also tweeters are killed by inadequate crossover (set too low or with too shallow a roll off). With bass it's more about whether the music is long continuous tones without breaks, or short kicks with possibly a bass guitar line. You might be able to send a thousand watts or more to a 300 watt sub on rock music (provided displacement limits aren't exceeded in the enclosure you're using), but would kill it as soon as you switched to rap bass. I've found the dangers of excess clean power are that the speaker doesn't even sound all that bad before it dies.

[@shermbot9776]

From my understanding, pofessional sound engineers generally try to use an amp which is capible of putting out 2 to 4 times more power than the driver is rated for. If I were using 100 watts to play a 40 hertz tone which results in an output of 130 db, and the recording reaches a point where the level of the 40 hertz tone dropped 10 db in the studio, it will result in reducing the amp power from 100 watts to a single watt. Having extra power provides headroom for the dynamics of music so when parts of recordings that are recorded at a lower level are reached, there is still plenty of power to drive the speakers without clipping.

[@Contact_Info]

What is dirty power

[@CWBchannel]

@@TimpBizkit No, clipping is not “usually about tweeters”. Clipping can occur in an amp, subwoofer, speakers, tweeters, etc.. Their are plenty of resourceful videos and articles that can explain in deeper detail about what clipping actually is. Just make sure your equipment is receiving the proper voltage/signal and you will avoid waveform extortion, therefore making sure you are not clipping and not at risk of damaging any of the components in your system. Wether it’s the amp, sub, tweeters, speakers, etc.

[@alejandroespinoza3686]

Respect, for not destroying good gear no matter how economic it is. It would probably shine on a Decware Deathbox.

[@llspragulus]

The part that kills speakers is distortion. Be proud you have a clean amp!

[@eonreeves4324]

i never understood the saying "Overpowering your sub" only if you push the driver beyond it's range, you don't need to use 100% of the amp lol If the driver is only ever loading the amp 20% that just means that the amp is coasting all the time, never working too hard which is good for efficiency... when i build a computer i go with a PSU that will exceed the need by like 50% so the PSU is coasting never having to struggle to keep up with demand.

Finally someone talking about that and not the opposite when the amp is the limiter. Also in the case of a high power amp on not even half what it can do make a lot cleaner power and is very dynamic compared to a small amp that is just enaugh for the system. Because of cleaner and more dynamik power it also sounds better :)

[@91CavGT5]

I’ve been telling people for years that if they send clean power to a subwoofer that is not clipped and you aren’t mechanically maxing out the subwoofer then it will last a very long time. I’ve got a video on my channel showing how long it takes to blow a cheap subwoofer. Seconds is all it takes if the signal is clipped. That same 125 watt 8” subwoofer lasted 9 months with 500 clean watts going to it! That’s proof that those people bragging about blowing subwoofers just don’t know what they are doing.

[@NextLevelCarAudio]

I have never heard anything like that before. Interesting.... I’ll ask around

[@CotyRiddle]

Amp power is only half the story. Distortion and clipping will kill it faster than over powering it in very short bursts. As long as you don't hit xmax and bottom it out it can probably take 800 or more for a good while before getting toasty. Got some old school road masters rsw80 dual voice coil subs and they are rated for 40 watts per coil or something close to that and I've pushed them with 100 watts plus driving them hard to the mechanical limits *with out bottoming out* for extended periods and while they did get pretty warm they did not darken the voice coils and they did not blow.

[@NextLevelCarAudio]

Yes sir. That was the point of this video honestly. To show that you can connect a low power sub to a high power amp and still run it OK as long as you set gains accordingly.

I'm curious if you cut the gain alot I've always read that your efficiency drops way down I'm wondering if that has anything to do with distortion?

[@NextLevelCarAudio]

Reducing the gain, reduces the amount your amplifier need to amplifies the signal. Not sure about efficiency honestly.... would be cool to do some tests on that. However, i know typically distortion comes from clipping your amps signal. So reducing your gain decreases the chance of you sending a clipped signal which causes distortion.

Sorry for the delayed response. If I were you, I’d keep the crossovers that came with your components. For 2 reasons. 1, They are already dialed in by the manufacturer for your mid/tweet to perform optimally. And 2, frees up channels 3&4 for your 6x9’s.

I did on An older model plg 10 gear series (light purple coloured ) its ok i used it playing full range at first its ok but wen used as mid range with passive cross overs sounds splendid ' i still use it with a 3 wat home amp with a 2 way split (2" 5w tweeter ) i was shocked that the sub still played on such low power with digital eq on ( an set for the type of music one plays ) jus manages to fill the room an not disturb the negibours and their pets complaints for every day use ( music an gaming ) i cant wait to learn abt these newer models

Yeah i used to to play shit out of 2x 15" JBL GT152 subs back in the days(25 years ago or so), they where rated something like 300w peak and i was putting to em around 2000-3000w rms, they where just fine around 2 years until one of em burn, but they where so loose already that they where gone anyway at that point.. after those i got Hifonics 15", that never burned but was rated something like 1000-1500rms :D

Dude if you could have gotten some funky pup subs from the 80's that'd have been hilarious
