That's about what I paid for the Gothic 12". I wonder how they compare to each other?

@@MadDragon75 I've had a Gothic as well. Id say this American Bass definitely has better coils, leads, and just overall construction. But the gothics aren't bad at all!

How does it compare to the power acoustik mofo 122x?

Landon Leavell I’ve had a Gothic but have never had a MOFO. However, from what I’ve seen and heard American Bass make better quality equipment over all and rates their subs more accurately than Power Acoustik

@@ParkerTheBasshead lol go on mofo nation on Facebook. My Power Acoustik Mofos slam compared to this. American Bass is a great company but my mofos have a much beefier magnet and weigh 26 pounds a piece. Don't talk about the Mofos untill you run one or 4 in my case.

LOL hahaha nice 👌

lol bruhhh

LOL😂😂😂

Hahahah 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Lmao

Hahahaha your so wrong n I wasn't knocking on him other. I been BASS HEAD LONGER then your 17 years of hard work my friend. So dont judge me. I know my shit ok. American Bass is very good Subwoofers. I been to numerous of their audio competitions so I'm totally impressed with AB. But I do have my prefer choices too and since i live in Southern California we have many companies that come to car show to help sponsors variety of high end and low end audio companies. The guy that made this video is on right path and no I nevered brought any of my audio from Walmart. I GO STRAIGHT TO SOURCE. FULL WARRANTY COVERAGE you feel me. But I do believe his amp can be more wattage go 2000 watts. Trust me 2k watts u be amazed and your ported box too. That AB sub is beefy man. Go job and choice. I wont lie I have in bandpass inverted enclosure SPACE B12 3600WATTS and designed by VIBE it was $400 brand new when I bought it and its expensive now and cant get another cause its DISCONTINUE and Audio in UK. Vibe is #1 in UK. Here it's hard to say so so many awesome subwoofers and amazing companies. But I do have 1 that I will remain loyal too...PSI CAR AUDIO. I have 12' on the way and this Mark's my number 2 from PSI CAR AUDIO. Yes I blew my VIBE B12 when I was coming home from car show 9 years ago and to get it rebuilt I had to ship the entire thing to UK...$800 and that's not including shipping back cost and repairs. So thanks to PSI CAR AUDIO I didnt have to worry shipping to UK. They did amazing job on my Space B12 subwoofer I call it PSI rebuild SPACE B12. Oh it hits way harder then original...so if you need speakers rebuild PSI CAR AUDIO i highly recommend. But sorry bout the blah blah blah. But keep up the work and agree negative comments should not hurt you, build and become stronger off the negatives comments. You have my support. Good job! :)

You're right, my first system was my cousins hand me downs for my 16th birthday in 1999. An old Phoenix Gold amp and two Fosgate P3s

I worked backwords. My first system was 2 Kicker L7's on an Orion XT1500. My now system is 2 Audiopipe BD4 12's on a Audiopipe APCL 1500. Honestly I love the look on peoples faces when I say its just 2 budget 12's.

For you guys that know and has experience come up together and help me with this.. so am riding in a dodge 03 hemi 5.7 liter. 1500 so the speaker box what would I need to get it to thumb. I don’t want it overpowered feeling like a earthquake. Just somthing to empress. I live in Florida and man it’s so crowded. Long story short this upcoming week I was going to get myself a amp 2000 watts and speakers For being installed for 170$ maybe 12,15 speakers lmk or comment on what website I should look into please respond guys👋🏽 when my graduation hits May 30th want it to be thumbin😂💪🏽 much love guys

@@chinito20fam so happy early bday...well if your looking to thump what exactly of space are we working with? Are you installing in trunk or under your rear seats? You gotta know exactly. So you want that SQL which will give you all round of both sound and thump. Nice. But you gotta give us location where to install your system. email me. Also ALPINE is doing a tour with there DEMO trucks so if you in area where they going...you might like to attend this event. I'm going

The American bass subwoofer in this video weighs more than 27lbs....maybe for 60$ that soundstream subwoofer is decent but it's a far ways away from the subwoofer in this video.

@@soundsofnature7015 i agree with you there. But thats also 40% more in cost or more

No contest AB Elite 12 spend your hard earned money wisely.

@@soundsofnature7015 I am looking for two 12s st a good price. Are the American bass elite 12s still best bang for the buck? I was also looking at the Def bonce machete mf-12. I'd like to hear your thoughts. Thank you

Be careful abusing that sub with that 400 watt amp

Yeah I couldn’t be happier either!

No tf ismt does NOT an xfl would have that mirror falling off. The doors would be flexin. Its decent but definitely not an XFL

@@bassheadray xfl says only 2000w max tho?

@@dylanrap9778 definitely underrated. U could put like 2500 rms to that thing

The only difference is basket one has a cast metal and the other in house builded custom stamped steel basket

@@bassheadray The basket is the only difference cast vs stamped steel and a slight heavier magnet 🧲

Thanks man! I love watching your videos. Best car audio content on YT in my opinion.

Big D is everywhere!

Sheeesh supa heat🔥

Yes, very impressive esp for the price! I remember getting my first big time sub, an Audiopulse Axis quad 1 ohm voice coil 12". Got on sale from parts Express for like $450 shipped to my door. Think it weighs about 52lbs and she's still rocking like 13 years later! Got that and a TC Sounds 15" Tropo I got lightly used for $75! Running them both off my Orion 2500 Watt after watching Big D's test of that amp at .8 ohms and even though the 12" Axis is in a crappy prefab box that's ported a bit high for my like the 15" TC Sounds is in a better box ported a good bit lower so it is really impressive for what it is. I'm probably starting from scratch since I left that system in the Xterra I sold to a good Buddy, aside from a few things I kept for the next system I'm building. Found a DC Audio stage 4 12" in a nice custom box I'm hoping to pick up in the next couple of days for about $160, and the Orion amp will go to that for the moment, and hopefully picking up a package deal on a Dual 12" loaded box, with 2 or 3 decent mids/highs amps along with some other miscellaneous speakers and stuff. So hoping that the lower end dual 12" subs and box will add a little to the DC Audio sub, and probably some good 6x9's in boxes plus decent speakers in the stock locations on this first generation Grand Cherokee should have me with something to fill the void till I can add to the system a little bit here and there.. Great video, you've come a long way Parker and I'm still Enjoying your videos so keep up the good work Brother! **Rock on Big D! Still loving your videos too Brother!

It’s just the mic on my old Nikon I was filming with but thanks! Glad it did. Good job of picking up the bass

PPI 7000 does 3850 and 0.5 ohm stable with warranty @ half ohm. Plus 2 cooling fans. Its $249 though but well worth it for dropping (4) subs in.

so are the taramps any good for that price thats good price for that much power

@@ruffypoo i didnt know ppi amps were still good epesically this model

@@biglion6229 not as good as they were. They did a dyno test and it did 3850 watts. KZfaq it. PPI 7000.1D

@@ruffypoo ok i will thanks

It sounded good as shiznit in that box imagine how much better it would sound in a custom box 💣

@@frankrivera9083 facts! AB makes some good stuff, in order to hit them lows properly, he'll need another box, but it did sound good

Wish my home sub fit in a car I’d need a van it’s 5 foot long t line with an audio pipe txx-bd3-12 and I bet that sub would sound great too, 20-45 hertz tho which kinda sucks

I had the Americanbass bass XFL and now the HD series. Those subs are amazing. But I have custom boxes built for both. Sounded so much better in the correct box. Not a prefab box. Perfab did have the same range.

Prince Fit Leggette yep he would get a lot more out of if

I already got my two

Appreciate it! Zero gauge wire is in the near future

I have an sdr12 and I promise you that this sub is far better than the SDR, likely in every metric other than price.

I have (1) Skar 10” SVR DVC2 on the Down4Sound’s JP8 and it’s one of my favorites and I’ve had every brand imaginable since the 80’s. In my 20’ Honda Civic I started with Skar’s 10” Bass package with (1) 10” SDR DVC2 and the RP800 amp and then I upgraded my amp to the JP8 and upgraded my (1) 10” SDR DVC2 to their 10” SVR DVC2 with AMAZING results! Funny how now-days there is so much competition compared to back then you had the big 3 brands for the most part and you can get amazing stuff as I have for decent prices!#🔊❤️@Caleb Skunza

You “clearly”didn’t read my post . I did NOT say “THE BEST” ; I said, one of my favorites and have had many especially at it’s price….@titoham-DCXLs

I bought 2 XD 12's for $50. never did get a chance to use them. They looked impressive.

@@frankmaggio4328 that's a helluva deal! I paid 40 for a used one that wasn't even broken in yet. Now that it is, it's easily hitting 139-140 on about 670 watts at the terminals.

Brian Smith I mean if u can find your self a eclipse sw8122.4 12inch I have one on a 500 watt mono alpine and she quakes and box is tuned to 32 hz

Lol i bought 2 of the xds as well and they slammed but the elite series is something else

I had 2 of the fat surround with the corny dx cone 12s doing 143.4 in a prefab ona kicker 1500.1 and it took 1 year to blow 1. Thats damn good for a cheap single coil sub. Im not sure how good the newer dx is but ive got the newer black double claw basket tnt 15s and id easily put 1400 real watt per sub and be comfortable doing it ever day. I used them with a ab vfl4480.1 but didnt get to meter that set up but i could tell it was definetely closer to 144.5 or so. Updated alt would of made a difference too cause it drained pretty good even with a dry cell in the back a yellow stinger. Probably could of gotten 145 or 146 with that amp with good alt.

There 170$ now I just got one

Do you have a link to them?

@@visionary5604Can you wait until Friday September 13 I'm sponsored by Incriminator Audio Nicholas Wright the owner has a new sub coming out called Lockdown it's 1000 watt RMS 2000 watts Max ( sandbagging)it's a $119 budget sub dual voice coil 37lb magnet it comes in .7 ohms 1 2 and 4 Ohms I've actually heard the sub over at incriminator headquarters (Testing)it puts the Sundown( Jacob Fullard no offense my friend)sa series sub to shame it was on a test bench an incriminator 20.1 on 12 volt batteries running@2 ohms putting out 2800 Watts @16 volts don't buy the amp unless you're planning on running High volts Plus that amp is $499😲👎 but anyways the sub handled it with no problem we tortured it for 20 minutes magnet was barely warm it only comes in 12 and 15 inch but if you have any questions comment back and ill hook you up so you get that price it's the first sub that's handmade for that price it has an 8-inch spider dual 4 gauge subwoofer terminals Very impressive could have easily been a $249 sub each💪💯

Hey baby did you see the Parker messaged us back

Frank the surrounds help control distortion and keeping sound clean and increasing output at high volumes

Why

gruntstucku Why

Hurts your pockets huh😂😂😂😂

What's a better sub?

internet trolls..lol slash keyboard warrior..

They really are incredible! I see who so many people do big builds with them

@@ParkerTheBasshead I have been running an AB XFL12 for about 5 years now being powered by a Punch 1000..super clean bass and it sounds just as good now as it did when i got it.. Good choice..

kjsmolik very cool! This is the first AB I’ve had but had a friend with a 15 and it was insane

Yes ok audiopipe 79 1200 RMS hit five time harder then a Alpine for 189 dollars...Bigger magnetic double the size of that you lose

Thanks man!

So what? What’s your problem? Are you special?

Yep, if it sounded good at 2 ohm it would slam at 1 ohm

Facts American Bass is all i run period i probably paid their rent a few times over the yrs

No my bro AB is equal to DD they have broken and set many world records and one of the loudest subwoofers in the world with DD and Kicker.Now DC Audio ,Sundown and Soundqubed are on that level now. AB a original badass!!!🏆

Same! 🙏🏻 everyone watching has been awesome so far

Thanks I really appreciate it!

Any update on the 8in?

Not just gettinging everything ready door speakers just came in ct sounds 6.5 2 pairs and have the new hifonic 1200 watts amp for the 8in. Just order the ct sound amp for the 6.5 speakers 75 watts 4 channel. Also putting alarm install also.

I know man if I get some spare time I’ll definitely make one

I agree, had a pair of super blue 15" and I had a custom box that made them seem like more than $60 subs

I know a custom box would be awesome! Maybe I’ll have some time to make one this summer

Man I have 2 Skar Sdr 15s and they're insane... i could only imagine 3 18s

I have them on a banda 7k wired to 2.67ohm .. they are still breaking in but I can play from 27 to 77 with authority :p

Where did you find that deal I've been looking can't find them under 150 a piece!

Lacy Marquez I know right

Mysterious Systems 1029 I’m bout too get two 12 sdrs I have a skar Lp 1000.1 what you think. 🤔

Did you get around to hooking up your subs? Were you happy with the performance?

We need answers

Howd it go?

The car I was going to put them in blew the motor but I will be putting in a system in a 1990 buick century custom 2 12 American bass amp soundstream t14000. Be running at 1 ohm will let everyone know how it sounds

The elites or XFLs would be great options. That being said, if your others blew it could have been due to some clipping. Best way to avoid that is if you start to smell them turn it down a little

@@ParkerTheBasshead Thanks for the reply. After doing even more research I think I'm just going to save up and get the Kicker CompQ 12's. I just want something that will last for years even with me thumping them.

Fernando Leonard kickers are definitely tough! I’ve seen more old kickers still bumping than about any other brand

Set gains right and there will be no more blown subs lol, if you have access to a DD-1, it will save you alot of money in the long run

@@joshua199628 I just don't get it.....I need to read the specs on my sub and amp better because I was under the impression my amp want strong enough to blow the subs even if the gain was turned all the way up. I've learned some expensive lessons and now only have my factory speakers to listen to for a while smh...."a fool and his money"...

Thanks so much man I really appreciate it! And yes people like to get on to YT just to hate on others but I’m used to it lol

@@ParkerTheBasshead I can. DC Audio level 1. Its a slighly smaller magnet, but thats really the only diff. At that point it comes down to personal preference. I prefer DC Audio over American Bass. That's why I have four DC's

@@sethh8892 the level 1 is no where near this good

/b/ Tard yeah man DCs are incredible as well. How much is the level 1 ?

YES!!!! You don’t know how many comments like that I’ve gotten lol

I tore my coaxels off now i got cerwin vega strokers@😂😂😂😂

What's the lowest you can wire them down to can they be wired to 1 ohm if so u will get the full amount of power out of them because at 4ohms ur not getting full power if ur Subs are 250w each and ur amp is 500w it has to be ran down to 1ohm to get the 500w if not ur probably only maybe 125w on each sub u can look it up how to run ur amp at a lower ohm it's really easy once u look up the manual but just make sure that your amp is stable at one of them if not you might have to run it at 2 ohms but you'll still get more power and ur Subs will move a lot more than they are now. hopefully i helped o and one more thing u don't really have to but it would probably be better it u got a monoblock amp (✌🏼💪🏼🔈💪🏼🔉💪🏼🔊)

They are both single-coil 4 ohm subs. My amp can only handle two 4-ohm subs when bridged. it has 4 channels. can be bridged down to 2 channels. it outputs 250W RMS at 4 ohms bridged to each subwoofer. each subwoofer is hooked seperately to the two bridged channels. its stable at 2 ohms in all 4 channels unbridged. or 2x 4 ohms bridged to 2 channels. with 2x 250W RMS

What brand of amp is it? Some companies just straight up lie about the power they put out. If you get a monoblock or 2 channel amp they generally handle subs better. The 4 channels generally handle the mids and highs so they dont need TONS of power. But like Frank Rivera said, your probably only getting closer to 125 watts each sub. You say they get loud so I wouldn't do anything 👍👉😝👈

My exhaust. It was windy

@@ParkerTheBasshead Oh good then! Seems like extremely good value in these speakers!

SaltTomaten they really are! Have had very good luck with American Bass. Will be reviewing an XFL soon. I think these elites went up to around 130-140 after this video but still a good deal in my opinion

@@ParkerTheBasshead Yeah!

Or it could be bc it doesn't have enough box and it might need a certain size box

Heck yeah they are going to pound!

@@ParkerTheBasshead sweet

It's 900 rms 1800 watts max I'm running 3 at 0.68 ohm

The ribbed sorround is on the newer model. I misspoke in the video. The ribs might bake the surround stronger but no I don’t think it really does anything in a practical sense

Parker Dacchille thanks again. Your a legend !! Is it still your favorite budget sub ??

Matthew James I think they are now $130 but at the price point yes it would be my favorite

Paying someone to install the amp won’t be cheap. If you take your time and watch a lot of videos I’m confident you could do a good job of it yourself. As for a box watch my next video on the Q Power box. It was perfect for the sub and really allowed it to get its full potential. Box was $66
