Little beast!

I had 4 of these in a ported box. 3 cubic ft, tuned to 33 hz. I hit a 147.6 at a show. I loved these subs alot. I have moved on to 2 18" zv5's

First time I heard 8s was in a 3 box setup with 1500 watts, 500 going to each sub, in a downward facing box in the trunk of a small 90s celica. It blew my mind how hard it hit.

Monster little subs. My buddy did a 141+ on one in a tline on 1.5k with superb electrical. I was so impressed that I picked one up but, that was a year ago and it's still in the garage as I am enjoying my two 10" sa10s😂😂

I really love what you do! Always great info. Keep it up man. Thanks so much!

Have To Give Sundown A Huge Thumbs Up Because They Are Owning The Game Out Here And A DIY, How To Fix A Stuck 8 inch Sub From Home, That Was Pounding On A 5000 Watt Run In A Huge Enclosure, Is Just Badassssss!!!!! 👍💪

A lot of power and still came back bumping! Mini Breast 💪 nice video Parker

That's the first time I've ever seen that happen to a sub😂 that's awesome

Sundown as 8's produce a great sound!

Can't believe you got that sub stuck in the gap but didnt blow! Wow that 8" is good👍GO SUNDOWN FOR HAVING A GOOD HARD STRONG SA COIL🔊🔊🔊

Not a bad little sub I'm impressed. Bet it would get a 140 in the right box

Still impressive for a 8in sub taking 5k watts. Thanks for sharing Parker 👍

I recently got one of these in a custom ported box tuned 35hz. When hooked it all up i couldn't believe how hard loud clean and clear bass this little sub has. I am now a sundown lover.

I see you cracking up in every shot. I want one of these really bad thanks for the great review

do the test again in a .6cu- 1cu ft

It seems to be a great little sub. I know it was just for demo purpose, but I'd love to see the results out of a smaller box close to specs. If it bangs out of a small box, it's so much funnier seeing people react, when you open your trunk. I had an oldschool 8" Kicker S8c in a 1cu ft ported box 34hz on something like 400watt power. This thing sounds great and does quite impressive 134db on dash (Termlab).

I have 4 ctsounds 8in subwoofer in my crv . Pushing about 2400 watts and it flexing my front window. Also have two epicenter one to each amp. So 8in subwoofer can do the job. People at my work can't believe you can hear me about two blocks clean and clear bass.keep up the great work and keep them coming. 👍🏻

I'd like to have 4 of those, one for each door. 😉👍 Derrick and the team at Sundown should be proud of these.

This sub is 500 watts RMS, it got stuck @ 5000 watts RMS LMAO!! Good job sundown designing and getting this built to quality specifications. Other companies design with lower quality components and keep the extra profit for themselves!!

Got 1 in a 2018 civic hatchback, in an appropriate sized ported box (not a botched up box for different speaker, but do understand your point) 1381 watts, and this lil 8” impress’s me every day

I would not have thought of this solution. Good thinking

That's a great test. Thank you. Keep up the good work!!!!

Great video. I have 2 skar vvx8's in my (ranch rocket) 91 yota standard cab. run off a skar rp1500. Bangs soo hard. I can only imagine having 2 sundowns🍻

Awesome vid. I can’t wait for the hdx3 review! I want to know what I think about it?

Love the videos man!

Great video. Considering they are only rated for 500 watts rms . I also agree that box is way too big for that sub . Definitely deserves another chance in a box closer to its specs

Been watching a bunch of your videos recently and I just wanna say, I love a bunch of stuff about your content, but, that fact that I hear you playing Cyberoptics while testing subs makes me really happy. Not alot of people give him the credit and attention he deserves lol

i have same sub in a .75cuft CT sounds ported ground shaker box tuned to 37hz with a Skar 800.1 at 1ohm sounds great

They seem pretty good for a daily driver!

Wow. Seem like good 8 inch. Thanks brother

Awesome sub flex man .I love watching your videos.

Nice, and great mic my friend. What are you using to record?

This didn't show up in my new videos bud. I'm glad I ran across it browsing.

You really need more variety of boxes to help get true tests. I honestly can’t believe that sub survived ! Wow ! Way to go Sundown ! Get up with Matt at Soundoff Audio, maybe he can help with those boxes.

I knew it was good buddy has 5 in a tahoe shits amazing Been waiting for this video for ever

Sounds good. I saw one on marketplace and thought about doing the same thing with my old 10” box

WOW that was crazy that SUBWOOFER looked like it was a goner but that's SUNDOWN AUDIO for ya there SUBWOOFER'S are BEAST and that's not even ther most powerful 8" SUBWOOFER they have awesome video as always [☣✌💪🔈✌💪🔉✌💪🔊☣]

I always look forward to your instrumental you play bro lol damn good beat 😂

I always wanted a custom PSI 8....Sundown is good too. Good to see some 8s pounding...

Thx Parker, cool little big sub.

NICE VID BRO!!!

You're not getting any volume out of it because it's in a box that's 3 times too big AND it has fill in it. You might as well be testing it free air. Build a proper box for the sub and it will come alive.

I own two and im definitely turning heads when I turn them up.... FlexXxin on San Antonio with two 8's !!!

Would you recommend 4 sundown audio sa 8s or 2 sundown audio sa v2 10s. I’m total both equal 2k rms and would be put on same amp and would both be in about a 3-3.5 cub box

I had one of these subs before. My sisters husband gave it to me because he didn’t need it. I messed around with it for a while and had it running off an old Sony xplode 1200 watt amp and that little sub took it like a champ

I had just one SA 8 v2 on a DC Audio 1.2k and it would take almost everything the amp put out. The thing wobbled like a beast. Now im setting up an x8 v3 with a star power 1500 cant wait

I have 6 of these in my truck on a taramps 5000.1 HD. Their are in a ported box .5 cuft each tuned to 35 hertz. The ones on the very outside edge will pop from overextension. They move 2x as much as subs in the middle. I think they sound better in a box using .75 cuft per sub though. Low end is a little louder

just imagine 2 of those in a good design 34Hz L box wow bro that got it sound really awesome man 😊

Awesome test, tough sub!

Thats A good box for the 8. I bet it sounds Kool at distance

Lmfaoo when I hear the boom then hear 4000w I knew I was in for a treat hahaha. That sub is beautiful BTW 😮 I never really looked at sundown up close and your camera is pretty clean those things would look sick af inverted

nice sub sound great.what is the real air space for that? thanks

Skar box is like 1.5 cubic ft after port displacement. I have my sa-8v.3 in a .80 cubic ft ported box tuned to 33hz. Sounds pretty good

I have a pair of the sundown E 8 V6 rated at 300 watts and feed them close to 500 watts each all day every day. Tough little bastards and LOUD LOWS!! I put mine up against a guy with the same under seat box but he runs an orion 2500xtr on SA 8s and I have a Rockford punch 1000.1bd on E 8s and mine was considerably louder. Didn't have time to see if he was feeding them enough power etc... But thought it was interesting for sure. Great NC company with great subwoofers. I'm not as familiar with their salt and sfb amplifiers so no opinion there.

Do the latest x8 sundown sub next! Makes this sa sub look like a wee lil baby. Love all of sundowns subs irregardless. I'd expect no less out of sundown... handling almost 5000, and keeps going after being stuck... like why choose any other company, lmao.

Do you have any videos on tuning amps for newbies getting into subwoofers

Do you find it easier to hit higher in the kick vs on the passenger glass?

How about testing in a slightly smaller enclosure?

nice review 😀🔊

I just received a box for my SA 6.5 hooked it up and i was just as gitty as you were ! 😃

I have one of these. My first ever sub so I don’t know how it compares to a 12” which I’ll be upgrading to soon. But this things bumps hard for 8”

In your opinion, what two American bass 12's would you put on a skar rp.1500 with the gain and lpf turned all the way up?

I just bought two of these for my ridgeline. Put them in a sealed box I had and they did good. I want to try them ported. Anyone have any advice on port specs if they are both mounted in the same 1.5 cu ft box. I'd like to run one 4" aero port. How long does it need to be if I want it tuned around 34 Hz?

I'm thinking about getting the Skar Audio 8" or a DC Audio in a 8"...does it hit good for say, a Jeep? Will one hit good? I have 2 Alpine Type R 12s right now, I've had em for a while, want to down grade my box so I can fit stuff in the trunk.

I need like 6 of these bad boys

Now that's what you call a serious test when you get the subwoofers stuck and it still works hahaha unreal fucking sick

I plan in getting these

Parker, you do so much testing. We need a parker scoring system.

It definitely did rated :)

Lookin for a system for my truck.. 2 of these under the back seat or lower power “shallow” 12s?

I'm about to turn up up the videos Parker,I finally got moved .hang on stay tuned.

Sundown for the win i run a custom hybrid sundown 12 i hand built its a zv3/4/X-12 i run 4k on it daily

Have you tested any 8in subwoofers ? Besides this sundown?

Damn that lil guy looks amazing!....Cool sub too...

what would jl series would you compare it to output wise? 8w7? 10w3?

Alright help/advice well ima using what I have Pioneer GM-A5702 and I'm going to bridge it so apparently it will be 4ohm with 480watts I want to use a 8 inch in mind to have enough room for storage in back of my xterra.... okay so skar audio Svr-8 D4 480watts rms or should I go with ROCKVILLE W8K9D4 500watts rms thanks again

😄 🤣 for some reason when that got stuck it was really funny!

Have you done the DC Level 1 10inch sub?

I'm not sure if I've asked you this question, but I'm needing to know what you would recommend for my infinti m37. i currently have the mtx terminator 12"s in my truck but all the bass gets trapped in the trunk because the seats don't drop down. the only opening i have is in the armrest that leads into the trunk. would i be able to put a areoported box with the ports facing the opening into the cabin for the bass to be felt inside the car and not trunk? please help.

👍👍 nicely done

Can you do a video on high-end subwoofers and what's the difference of the quality that one to a budget one

Very nice subwoofer speaker

i have a 2009 nissan versa hatback. would 1 8 inch sub be perfect for it? how many watt’s amp should i get? If i do decide to purchase the sub.

SA-8 V1.5 D4 SUNDOWN 4 OHM or this one on my Alpine PDX-V9 900 Watt 5-Channel SUB 500rms 4 ohm amp ??

I made a power sub for my room home theater system great little thing thumps😎👌👍✌️🤫

Very interesting unit

Due to sub size, it has to move a lot in order to play super low. It’s why I always stick to 15” subs or bigger for anything under 30hz. Or multiple small ones but still risky.

How do you think 3-4 of those in a 2015 VW beetle hatchback

You should try the db drive G5 8in subwoofer.. Awesome video

Can you do a 8in test between skar and sundown. Which is better and cost. You always do a fair competition

So which one is better the sundown 12 v2 or that 8"?

Glad to see that 8 is ok, that’s was nutter butters man!! I knew something happened when I heard it PLANG!! When an 8 is all you can fit is when you really appreciate them. Great vid bro👍🏽👊💪

Do you do digital design reviews? Know as DD ?

How does it compare to the skar and the punisher?

What mic are u using? Its probably pretty good cuz i can hear all the bass notes that your playing from my subs 🤣

I’d love to see the Rockville 8” do that 😂 no but seriously I’d love to see someone test the Rockville k9 8” sub I thought about getting a couple because the price is so good just don’t know if it’s going to suffer from the same problems the bigger ones do.

Hey Parker great video bro!!! If you get the chance check out the American Bass vfl8”. Never really seen them in action and would be cool to see someone demo them.

I know this video was posted a few years ago but I just wanted to ask. Would 2 of these little guys in a ported box in a 95 Suburban K1500 be enough or should I do 3?

I’m in need of very good clear and loud bass system for a trunk of a car I’m buying a 2012 Hyundai Elantra Limited but need recommendations I’ve had 2 sundowns under a truck seat but wasn’t enough for me and I wrecked that vehicle

I want to see u test the 8 inch db drive 3k subwoofer
