At least they have decent quality control, they both failed at the same time

I'm still impressed with what you get for the money with these subs. Easy way for someone to make their first wall. They are just fun to play around with. No stress if one blows because they are so cheap. I wonder if 12 of them could handle the 12k, probably not lol

Just take them back to walmart.

140 + Db's with $60 subs...Awesome!

Seems like they held up pretty good for 30$!

I'd like to see a shoot out with 60 dollar an under subs! Without necessarily blowing them up with high wattage just testing them with there ratings to see which blow an which actually survived. That would separate the decent budget speakers from the junk speakers.

Damn 60$ worth of subs and did a 143+db lmao pretty impressive Parker never disappoint 🔥 🔊

I had the Duel subs from back when the dust caps were black. For $40 or less?! I can't recommend them enough! They're excellent for the money. Especially if you're in a spot where your speakers keep getting stolen. I love seeing the amount of abuse those things can tolerate before they blow. No excursion popping or anything. Those things sound great until the very end. They might shake some screws lose but they won't break your windows or your bank. Much love for the Duel subs!

6:38 so basically, get 10 of these. Put them on a 1200watt taramps. Turn the back of your suv into a giant 4th order.

I It's clean undistorted power combined with a huge box will give you decent results from entry level subs. Remember it's the box type and clean power that makes it sound good enough. Thank you for your video mate!

I'm diggin' the dollar speaker cook-off challenge. Hey, some bass heads need entry level specs. Subbed and keep em comin'! 🔊🔊😁👍

They performed quite well, considering the price. Pretty good bass for the buck! I would use these in home HiFi, with a ~200 watt receiver amp. Thanks for the test. The only knock on them, would be the voice coil rubbing, right out of the box. I would take that one back, and get it exchanged, if I were to install these in my home theater system. I'll bet they'll hold up very well, with smaller amplifiers.

Dam those duals took almost 5k and survived that pretty amazing !!!!

That's the advantage of an efficient, small power woofer. Less power to get the suspension moving = less powerful amp to run it = less load on your vehicle's electrical system. Also, saves lots of $$$

These old videos are gold 🎁

Try a kicker CompQ 12”. See how kickers best round sub compares to the newer companies out now.

I really want your channel to blow up man, your always positive never curse or bash any companies quality content and don’t have to worry about letting my kids watch with me.

I have 2 running on a hifonics zeus zxx.5000.5 wired at 2ohms 500watts they hit really nice for a begginner setup Also great video this was a great test. Really nice job sortening the box to give them a fighting chance

The nice things about the DUAL subs is that if you are more into S.Q. builds? Its REALLY hard to go wrong! Just one of these does a good job with filling the cabin with sound. 2 of them is just right in the proper box. 8 of them is enough for small hair tricks. The great thing about these is that they work great in those Pre Fab Boxes. ~1.5 cubes. S.Q is where it is at. Sure, there are Better woofers out there. But if you spend the time to build the boxes to your Car or van? You really can't go wrong with these DUAL gear.

lol nice test i wanted to see it explode with fire smoke and everything else that comes with a bomb 12k taramp thats to much for those wally subs 😂😂😭😭👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏽👍🏽

Better than the Rockville,lol

They remind me of my first subs. Kicker Comp 12s back in 1987. But the Comps had treated denim cloth dustcaps. LOL! And they cost more than twice the Duals.

I'm very impressed with duel, amps excead power rating and I've personally heard them on a fosgate 500.1 mono block, and in my opinion, they hit just as good as the p1. Thanks to videos like this you can do comparisons, and honesty, I'll get duel before boss, hifonics ( not the 90's hifonics) pyle, anything that doesn't meet or exceed RMS ratings

I'm running these in a custom sealed down firing box in my 1990 Corolla wagon and I couldn't be happier for a budget system!

Guess he doesn’t know sometimes when subs go they can take your amp with them! They dead short and to much juice flows and cause damage to the amp to!

Great video! I love to see cheap speakers do surprising good results! And like you said, since they have soft parts they can be able to reach certain volumes easier than a beefier sub. To my understanding, the beefier subs are more suitable for ultra low frequencies or extreme dbs but there are times that we don’t need them to be so beefy depending on the application. And with that said, you can get surprising numbers out of cheap subs just like you did. I wish you can get a hand of some old-school pyramid audio subs because we know that nowadays pyramid audio sucks.

The magic smoke packed from the factory.

Great channel man it's clear you have your car audio knowledge and I'm enjoying learning even more about my favorite hobby from you!

I gave a like and a comment just for you saying "I can do that, it's my channel" you are goddamn right. These actually seem pretty decent for $30 for some extra bass in a single box without spending a lot. Like the old Polk db12s that were only $30 but could handle a few months of abuse

You guys in the states don't know how lucky you are with such a big market of car audio. Still new to the scene and have a 12k haha

Man I had four as a starter system, they got down on a 1000 watt Kenwood amp, had to change a sub once a month as they would all go out a month after each other 💯😭😭 hope they’re still around when my 2 year old becomes 16 😁😁😁😁 he’ll definitely have four in whatever ride he has 🤔😭

I've built a couple nice Walmart systems for my wife. The Sony 12's and the Sony 1000w amp Has descent base for the price. With a Fosgate capacitor. Especially on old stock clearance. An entire system for $500 or less.

0:50 That Quintiple front face baffle tho. (5 ribbed layers for her pleasure..) 😆

You should enter the cheap spl challenge with a couple more of those you’d be crushing the challenge I think you already won lol

6:35 People obsessed with subs with huge motors need to learn a thing about something called efficiency, so I'm glad you mentioned this. This is why you don't find subs like this in prosound. People would be surprised by the Xmax numbers you'd find in professional sound reinforcement subwoofers.

And this, my friends, is why Walmarts return policy cannot be beaten! These subs would make a nice low budget home audio set up running off 12 volt computer speakers with decent wattage. Sub'd and Thumbs Up!

I find that cheaper subs sound amazing on higher power... i have 2 pioneer 306 series in a 3.08 cubic ft box tuned to 40hz that i built and they slam pretty hard... my whole car flexs... and it is powered by a ds19 gen 6000.1D... i hope u do more budget subs so i may consider upgrading

1:40 WAAAAAAIT bro you Don't have a h/o altenator at all? if this is correct I might do this with a 4k amp

I bought one of these for my sons car. It sounded great but didn’t last long. I got him the cheapest skar 12” at the time and it’s still going 3 years later. Been a great sub.

142db with duals!?!! Jesus Christ that’s actually AMAZING.

Awesome vid bro! More like this! The budget sub vids are best!

my friends never listen to me when i tell them how good the 12" walmart duals are for starter subs if you dont want to go comp, i loved my walmart duals when i had them. i really wonder how one of those compares to my current JL 12TW3 though in loudness

this really just goes to show what a really good box can do. In a box one would probably usually put these in I would be impressed to see 105 db xD

I paused @ 11:50 to say that I already listened to the end of this and I agree with you 100%. That was well worth the money this time for sure. Double the pleasure. Double the fun!

I bought one of these to try it out, horrible sound bro, i returned it how it came, bought myself a Kenwood 12 inch sub, uff big difference man

It would be cool to see some old school 12s and how they hold up to today's subs. I suggest some good old jl audio w0 12s.

141 db is only because the box is built like a tank tons of wattage, well loaded box and maybe some sound treatment. Great job!

Got one of those AB elites and my god it is impressive.

When they came on I thought you had gas

I have Walmart subs because of this video. Not on a taramps 12k. But well over their “recommended” power

Hm.. As you demonstrated a scratchy speaker, never quite knew that that meant the speaker is at least partially blown. Had a original paper speakers in my audi, they all were scratchy but were working with no issue. Replaced everything eventually and put in a sub so the whole system is more powerful and sounds even better, clearer.

First video, 1 dual sub, now 2 dual subs, what could go wrong

yea you can, your channel :D got me laughing out loud

Volume is one thing but sound quality is a whole other

I bet that if dual entered the premium sub arena they would kick some @ss!

Pretty awesome and interesting vid dude! I was actually surprised by how much they were able to withstand. Very cool

I wish someone like you would try Rock for Fosgate or Kicker after playing all of the good competition subwoofers I wonder what the difference would be like? In your opinion. I wonder if Rockford Fosgate or Kicker the ones that are priced around a hundred sixty bucks are worth it these days haven't had them in my car since the 90s.

Confucius say: "Cheap speaker mean cra.ppy sound." I say: "Listen to Confucius. the boy knows his sh..." You really do get what you pay for. I learned that the hard way decades ago. Peace out.

I can’t believe you hit them with almost 5K and didn’t launch a cone through the roof. Crazy.

Compare sundown lcs 12 with pioneer ts 310d4

Magnets the size of poker chips.

Lol, true test of clean power . Taramps are "dirtier" power than most amps so I doubt they gonna last too long. Btw yeah I have a taramps md8k so I'm not just talking trash, only way to get a sh!t ton of power affordably, just gotta keep ur eye on the clip meter that's all

Of course if I read back I'll probably see a comment or two about the amplifiers but anyways here I go..... After Budget Gems proved the wattage was indeed correct out of the Dual-Electronics-XPR82D and Dual-Electronics-XPR84D amplifiers, 2 channel and 4 channel, I've tested them now for over a year and they're getting ready to be tested now in an SQ car! A lot of people had their doubts about these amps surviving after the hard dyno test they received. They have not shut off one time! They have just seen stock alternator along with a good FULL THROTTLE AGM battery and Stinger OFC wiring. So after seeing the quality of the amplifiers, I'm not surprised by these two twelves. I have one of them that I've been wanting to test for a while but my last back surgeries failure has kept me from doing a lot of testing. As this channels owners probably nose, it takes a lot of work to do even a simple single subwoofer test running back and forth bending pulling is pretty physical believe it or not especially when you have six screws moving around in your back! The test was a great success as it's great to see what the subs can actually take on the extreme side of things. If they can do this imagine how long they can last on a normal day-to-day basis with the right amplifier and tuning. Of course I own the two amplifiers from the former test videos mentioned so it would be fittingly to test this sub with its same brand and company's amp. I also would love to see what this amp would do in this gentlemans electrical setup SPL wise since he's got the equipment to test it. If you're up for another test video I'll send you the two channel amp and $30 for another sub to test! Once again it will be the same amp from well over a year will actually two years ago wow tested by Budget Gems!

As someone that's been into car audio since the 90s, this honestly surprised me still. It would have been nice to see how many watts they could have taken for a longer time, to show actual power handling (program power rating). Nevertheless, your video was very informative! I think a lot of people are going to give these a shot! Honestly though, they're probably based on successful designs of the past, and they probably have better SQ than a lot of subs out there.

I was wondering if you have ever tested a Dayton audio ultimax sub. I was thinking of installing a single 10 inch sub in a 2 cube ported box. I'm trying to decide on skar evl or dayton. Looking for deep bass! Love your tests thx

Try some Blaupunkt subs. Same price with push terminals. Good vid, very entertaining.

Loved the video, love how you show us cheap subwoofers! Now I know these are cheap, but most people don't like spending hundreds of dollars on subwoofers. I know I don't. It would be so cool to see a video comparing all the different entry level subwoofers from the big brands! Skar IX 12" Skar SDR 12" RF P1 12" RF R1/R2 12"s Kicker COMP 12" Pyle (idk model but it's a cheap sub) 12" Pioneer TSW 12" Kenwood KFC 12" Now not all of these we would wanna see, and I'm sure there's more that I'm not including, but all these subs I put are around the $50 range or so and would honestly make great videos like this one, but on the cheap. Find which cheap sound sounds best and has highest SPL!

What app or program were you using on your phone?

yeah love it. i like the setup. im ready for the next vid.

Damn those 0 gauge wires looking thick af

The amount of times he slapped the sub box

I just had 2 kicker 12s and they blew so I bought 2 of these cheap speakers and put them in my truck and there louder then the kickers where can't wait to get Rockford fosgates

They seem pretty good for just $30

I order a Taramps smart 3k and the Skar evl12 loaded enclosure. You think they can handle the 3k or should I turn down the gain to achieve the 2500k they are rated at?

I had no idea the those american bass you use on a daily are the elites! I know you're all about them, but I honestly thought that you used the XFL ones w direct leads. I could never tell cuz the face is the same lol. But that's awesome dude. I'm so glad you told me to buy them! They've never let me down. Although, that craving to get louder is eating at me, and I've been considering buying 2 more and another amp and strap them together. You deff got the amp to do that with, which is what I'm guessing your planning. Gonna wall it off, huh? I know you'll have a great result.

Had one years ago. The black dual sub, on a 300kicker mono if I remember right. 2cubes ish 35hz slot port in a buick lesabre lol. It actually sounded decent for a little cheapo. Think only 140bucks the whole deal

With your normal setup almost all SUV's the port facing the back hatch is louder

I got 2 of these on an oldschool BOSS 500w bridged and everyone who hears it is stunned

I woulda liked to see them run at 45hz at a consistent true 1000watts for a extended periods of time...

The FLACK YOU GOT ON THAT VIDEO

One day I'm gonna get on this level 💪

My boy has these subwoofers these are the most horrible sounding subs on the market I would go with the IX 12s D4 from skar audio for $50 for a budget bang !

Cool video! I was rooting for them to hold up. They did better on burps than I would have expected.

Blaupunkt 12s might be a better value. $50 sub battle! CT Sounds Bio, Skar IX, Dual, Boss. Give us the tournament to fill the hole having no march madness caused. 🤣

Bro I see some flexibility on those hahaha good job eating those watts ...

I think you should get a speaker repair kit and do a give away to your supporters. Those that support your channel would probably feel like they where apart of the experience!

I used (abused) a dual head unit i got for $10 in my boat. It would get rained on. Catfish slimed, wave splashed. Many times display fogged- but it cranked , got great reception and was clear. Played discs well.. i can say nothing bad about it. Also- the dual flip out dvd in another vehicle also does well. Just depends on your EXPECTATIONS. As far as a sub? Anymore if you are buying one a these.. i'd hope its a test unit for a bigger overall project or wall or .. i dont even know lol

They did me good. I have the full set. Dual 6 1/2 in speakers plus the subwoofers

30bucks perfect for a daily car

Just blow them up and send them back and get your money back 😉

The magnet fit in your palm😂😂😂 Did you say those things handled 5000 watss😱

I'm excited to see this. I ran one of these in the crappy Walmart sealed box for a year, it wasn't a thumper but it sounded fine.

Nice subs for my wife

Well my setup is way different and it is under power on rms and my sub box is made for super lows and my subs are beefy as well. P.S LOUD AND LOW COMBINE RMS 1200 ALL DAY LONG. Otherwise my sub box do all the work on 1200 watts rms. REALLY NO ONE ON KZfaq DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW TO MAKE A LOW END BASS SUB BOX SAD :D LOLOL

Need to try out the Gothic subs from Walmart, running two of them at 2krms and they are amazing for $80 each

How big of an amp can my car run without doing any battery or alternator work it’s an 08 Chevy impala

Be careful blowing up subs, one day your gonna short the amp too. It’s not easy on the amp man

I thought for the taramps the best is hd seeing md they still perform the same.

I got that American bass sub. It’s AMAZING. And I’m getting a 2400 k amp for it on Thursday! Can’t wait.

thats a clean setup, the sequoia too.
