Wow so it’s durable ! still working till this day ?

@@TNG11Automotive while their speakers arent great their amps are actually really decent because they are CEA rated

Yesss ! always makes us happy to hear you guys are enjoying our videos ! 😁We will strive to be better each time !

Wow ! i think i remember those big bundle boxes , i think it was in the times that walmart would actually have speakers out in display with demo buttons and you could press the button and the speakers would start playing music! i only know and remember cuss when i was younger i’d go pressing all the buttons and run away 😂 sadly walmart doesn’t do that anymore

@@TNG11Automotive yeah it was during that era. My local Walmart actually had a pretty good car audio section...you could get head units as far up as the pioneer 6400 or 6500 the ones that had the display with the dolphins or the race cars driving around, they carried sony, a few Kenwood eXcelon, as well as the cheapie stuff. They used to have a couple dozen on display with the speakers and the subs that you could play with. They also carried the dash kits, the adapter harnesses etc. Back then Walmart was actually a good quick option to get a set of boom booms in your daily. Obviously nothing competition level, but you could throw together a decent daily setup for a reasonable price. Nowadays they don't seem to carry much in that area

When things were at the best 20 years ago. Now subs are a grand if you buy the DB or DD’S.

Haha this was indeed a great Kicker product!! 😁

Wow thanks for sticking around ! 😁 makes us happy to hear ! and motivates us to be better each time ! and you bet were gonna try that on the next item we put to the test ! 😁 thanks for the tips and knowledge

Thank you glad you liked it ! 😁

Glad to hear ! 😁 thank you for watching!

Right the days when a lil 8 or 10 in svc sub was awesome,now up to 2x12 and about to start a 4x12 build

Yesss i agree !! they surprisingly perform very well ! more than expected!! 😁

Haha you wont be disappointed! and were glad you enjoyed our video ! 😁 we will continue doing our best to keep making good content :)

@@TNG11Automotiveupdate I bought the same subwoofer but got the 1,200 watt amp instead of the 600 I also got the 2year protection plan for a total of $228 altogether. I can’t wait to install this setup and if I don’t like the bass I’ll just buy another subwoofer so it’ll be two 10’s instead of one. My car is about the same size as the one in the video so I should be ok

Oh wow ! so im assuming you grabbed the Jensen Monoblock Amplifier ? 😁 we couldn’t find that one at our walmart but we for sure need it ! your setup will forsure perform better than the one in this video because of that better amplifier you got !

@@TNG11Automotive yeah it’s the Jensen XDA91RB mono amp. Do you think the amp is too strong for the one subwoofer?

Well the amp wont actually be doing 1200 watts at all times, only at peak times when the song all the sudden has a fast strong sudden beat. but real time watts (RMS) maybe 320 ? because the 600 watt jensen amp does 280 rms , monoblocks are specifically for subwoofers only, so im assuming it should have more rms than regular 2 and 4 channel amplifiers, but i dont think it will blow the subwoofer , i would start off with low volume and pay attention for any distortion! cuss in fact it will pack a punch especially cuss its a monoblock , but hey its walmart you have 30 days to return in case :)

Yes ! we tried eliminating all the vocals coming from it and we almost did but there was a slight bit of vocals still , barely anything!

@@TNG11Automotive The problem with this is that you are using a full range amp and need to use their "app" to set the filters accordingly to eliminate the unwanted frequencies. I personally prefer amps with physical knobs but that amp has a "DSP" built in that seems to be decent according to a video done by BigDWiz.

uh oh , we appreciate if you can explain what we did wrong 😅 just so we can be better each time ! we dont mind any criticism for improvement, we actually appreciate it ! :) But thank you for watching! 😁

Wow okay , will have to study how that works ! but thank you for the information! 😁

truth is brand new a person can not find a better sounding setup for the price.

Ahhh okay ! we will need to get a hold of it ! 😁

I can guarantee that sub box is not wired to 1ohm though. It most likely 4 ohm or 2 ohm max with a single coil subwoofer. Kicker isn't putting a dual coil 10 inch sub in a ported box for under $100.00.

Wow thank you for the information we will definitely tune it better next time 😁

@@TNG11Automotive Yeah man just tryna help so there isnt any damage to the subwoofer, Ive had that amp before, it can be confusing because of what the app calls certain things, good video

@Luminous.Dynamics Yes it was a bit confusing we prefer physical tuning knobs ! but thank you for watching and the information 😁

It's never recommended to set subwoofer on headunit all the way up this can introduce distortion. Normally it is suggested to keep all levels flat on headunit and adjust on stereo side.

@@DayV914 thats not how that works.

Ahh okay we believe you ! 😁 and thank you for the useful information!

LPF is low pass frequency meaning the sub will start rolling off db on any frequency above 90hz on a steep slope probably 24db. That ported box is probably tuned somewhere from 40 to 45hz for a 10 inch speaker...Subsonic filter should be set around 35hz.

Yes ! we will definitely try them all !! even the ones you guys recommend!! 😁 thanks for watching and the recommendation!

​@@TNG11Automotivethe jensen sub wont be able to hande the power well, if its in good shape when you get it, i bought 2 12s and its just meh cant handle bass too well, had them hooked up to and audiopipe 1800 which is 800 watt(max) 1 ch

Will definitely look into it ! 😁

Yes ! we did have LPF on and frequency was adjusted to 80 , gain and master volume stayed default which is 5 (1-10) and on the head unit we left subwoofer on default which is 0

@@TNG11Automotive You can try playing with the low pass filter, try 70 or even 60 hertz. If the head unit also has a low pass filter, try turning that on. Also 60 or 70 HZ.

Awesome! thanks for the information! 😁

​@@TNG11AutomotiveJust to be more detailed, a low or high pass filter doesn't stop the sound at a certain frequency. It's a gradual slope. Vocals might play down to 130 hz or 100 hz depending on how deep the persons voice is. It varies. So if you set your sub amp with a low pass filter at 80hz (Jensen doesn't say the slope, but it's probably 12db per octave) it will play normally until 80hz and then roll off 12db per octave. So 160hz will be 12db quieter. 120hz will be 6db quieter. If your head unit also has a low pass filter (it's also probably 12db per octave) you set it at 80hz. Now you have a 24db roll off. 120hz will be 12db quieter and 160hz will be 24db quieter. A lot less vocals will be coming through the subwoofer. The actual frequency you choose depends on you. 60hz, 70hz or 80hz is the most common. Try setting the headunit and amp to the same frequency or as close as you can get.

On alpine 1000 watts 2 channel amplifier it so nice

Hahah wow glad to hear you also liked the dual set up as its surprisingly really good!! 😁

ahhh ! glad to hear alot of you guys enjoy our videos ! 😁 motivates us to make better and more enjoyable videos each and every time ! 👏

Having it tuned incorrectly will affect how it performs by ALOT ! ask us 😅 we’ve made that mistake alot of times 😭 though we’re getting better each time ! 😁

@@TNG11Automotive Yeah, thanks for the good content btw. Ive watched all your videos and helped me out when I first installed my sub. I also play older music with not a lot of bass so that's probably why it doesn't hit as good as yours. Specially those older corridors. Ima have to get an epicenter for that type of music.

Thank you for sticking around throughout our videos ! 😁 glad to hear we helped out ! and Yes ! The kind of music you play also plays a role on how the system will perform, for some reason we’ve realized that some songs just don’t produce alot of bass and some produce alot !! so thats also something to look out for !

So far that is true 😁 only cuss we find these pre built amp subs fun to experiment

@@TNG11Automotive haha 😄 i see

im sure it would ! :)

Sir i agree with you , they forsure got power ! not suckey ! 😁

Forsure going base off many comments that back up to the same conclusion.. A monoblock amplifier !

We will have to try it out ! 😁

Oh wow okay thank you for all the information! 😁

Oscilloscopes are great for finding when the peak sine wave distorts but they are not a must have. If you know the port tuning of the box " loudest frequency the box will hit at, then you can use that frequency in a test tone and dial the gain in by listening for any distortion or cone break up. also knowing the subwoofers Fs is important also. Most sub amps have speaker line level in and will knock the voltage down from as high as 6.5 to 7 volts. If you know the head units volume where it starts to distort you can dial in back just prior to that and then like I said run the port tuned frequency until you here distortion from the subwoofer and dial it back some on the subs amp...Most head units hit around 1.0% distortion by 75% on their volume knob. Using the correct LPF and subsonic filter also makes tuning a lot easier also. Been doing this method for about 30 years now and have never blown up a subwoofer.

Holy moly ! wow your the master ! 😁 thank you for the information!

Haha got it ! we thought it was short for competition! 😁

@@TNG11Automotive alot of people do actually

Yes gain and master volume levels were left alone to default which was 5 (1-10) , frequency was adjusted to 80 on LPF

According to Dual , Dual owns Jensen , im sure they bought Jensen in 2015 so i thinks its fair to say yes there are both from the same company Dual ! 😁

Ide say the Mtx duel 12 they are about 200 bucks 2 12s

Yes we plan on trying all kinds of brands and recommendations you guys request ! 😁

Will indeed take a look at those to try them out soon ! 😁

@@TNG11Automotive if you have any questions about car audio feel free to ask I run my own channel specifically on car audio

@Zachecker Ahhhh nice !!! ofcourse will do ! 😁

What is that ? 🤔

Hardwired by NCS ! 😁

@@TNG11AutomotiveI meant the soda song lol

Ohhh hahahaha its called “We dem soda boyz” 😎 by Jake Bowen

Uh-oh will work on being more quiet next time ! 😭

I have no idea what you're trying to say.

No worries we honestly dont get offended at all :) , doesn’t matter what people can say , we see it as a criticism for improvement! ! But being honest we’re a bit confused 😅 what exactly are you trying to say ? we’d like to know so we can be better ! :)

Glad you like the car ! 😁

Bro, why are you hating?

The speaker overall does perform well ! 😁 maybe could have improvements on the design?

@tng11automotive63 could have definitely done a better job with the carpet . They could have used a slightly thicker, better quality enclosure carpeting . Also could have run the seams of the material to the bottom and bottom edges of the enclosure in order to at least tuck the seams under the box out of sight. I like Kicker, but the way they did it so cheaply ruined the asthetics of it .

Bro, don't be a Debbie Downer. We need more people getting into car audio, not less.

Thanks for watching! 😁

What's up with all these Debbie downers? It looks like you guys are having a lot of fun and learning at the same time. That's what it's all about. 👍
