I'm getting alot of KZfaq messages telling me to text you on apps. I'm not gonna fall for that, but if you wanna let ppl know not to get scammed. Everybody thumbs up this so he sees it to let ppl know. He's to good of a guy to have ppl do this to him!

I have been in car audio for 35 years this is got to be the best car audio video i have seen for beginners ! Keep up the great video coming

Great info to share. When I was a teenager in the mid 90’s information about ohm loads etc were not readily available everywhere. Because of that I bought the wrong subs for my amp. Live and learn. Still an old basshead.

Hey Parker I’ve watched all your videos since the first time I saw you about a year and a half ago. I think it would be awesome if you did a whole series of stock electrical car audio. It would bring new beginners to car audio to your page as well. Not trying to make you do things I want I just think your the coolest to be able to do it 😊

Nice. My first budget build was 2 NVX 12's in a sealed box being pushed by an Ignite R1600. It sounded pretty awesome and very musical

this is a awesome video. reminds me of my first setup after being away from it for over 10 years. I had 2 kicker comps on a quantum Audio 2k. after about a week the addiction kicked in and I worked a lot of overtime and saved every penny to build a system with 4 db drive wdx g3s on a soundigital evox 12 with double runs of 1/0 350 Ohio generator alternator still have the quantum Audio 6x9s and tweeters on a sundown 200x4 channel amp and haven't had the money to switch to lithium but using 10 1000 energize super cell AGM batteries and a energize 2400 AGM battery. box rise is killing me. I'm only getting lil over 7k out of my amp but doing a 154.2 at 42 htz

Man this is great content. So many new guys have so many questions and want to know what will work good together. You've put together a solid system for minimal money! Great job man!

Did a 143 on stock alt ( did add a 2nd lead acid batt) with 2 audiobahn aluma12s on a 1100watt orion (subs) 300w orion on highs and mids all 4ga wiring. This was back in 02 03 and vehicle was an extended cab Dakota. I REALLY miss how clean that system was. Love your videos bro

Parker I enjoy your videos, didn't think I could afford to get back into car audio but I see there's quality products out there that a working man can afford I'm going bassing again!

Great video Parker! Always enjoy starting a day with one of your vids, whether its a new vid or an old one. Keep up the good work!

I bought the 2 sundown e10 kit for my car. 2019 Hyundai Accent with the big 3 done and a custom box. Does great for what I want and need, still leaves some space in the trunk and can give more than enough bass for daily needs.

You smiling in front of the subs hitting is iconic in your videos, it makes me happy seeing how happy it makes you. God bless lol

Thank you for doing these videos, they really help the economic minded and gives us great ideas and confidence.

Parker.. U should do a video/comparison on the performance differences between a car with a factory electrical system vs. A properly upgraded electrical system! Id love to see the watt/amp dif.. All your videos are great btw. Keep it up

To me this is so much more practical and interesting for the majority of us. I go to all the bass shows and 150s up is always impressive but USUALLY not musical. I'd rather have a great sounding system instead of a numbers machine

I did a budget build with Soundstream equipment. The amps work great and the 15 pounds. I got the sub new for 200 and I couldn't be happier.

Yes, me and my girlfriend love your Sunday videos. Parker, you make me jealous because first you look like you are having so much fun and you make her smile and laugh more than me lol! We're down for whatever, we are here every Sunday love ya bro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🤟🤟

Loving these budget builds bro

Bro those things were getting down!!!! Dayum! Slap slap! Love this man , I have a budget system in my work truck, all d4s 6.5 on head unit power , a top gear strong amp on a skar pre fab 8 box and man I love it, not like my old days of 6 12s in a jeep but def gets down, doing a single 12 in gfs car next . Doing all ds18 highs and mids and either skar or ct sounds 10 😊

I built a good budget system a couple years ago: 4 Sundown E12v3 D2’s at one ohm final load on a Sundown SIA3500d. 2 agm batts and a 500farad supercap bank and 300a alt. Got my subs and amp from the yardsale and shopped around for best deals on wire and all needed tools and accessories. I paid for a professional enclosure design but built and wrapped it myself as well as wiring installing everything. I scored 149db sealed on the dash legal score and was very satisfied with that for having around $1000 in the bass side of the build. Great video Parker!!

Lots of great content parker, good seeing the budget builds

That box sounds amazing with them subs

I rocked some Rockford Fosgate P3D4-12's for over 7 years full tilt most of their life and they are still going strong, they outlived 2 amplifiers lol

One of my first "bigger" stock systems consisted of an American base HD 12 single with a taramps smart 3 amplifier. I had a CAB 22 amp before that and it was even better, should have kept it. I added an extra battery and a 250 amp eBay alternator ($180) because my alternator went out. I did 142s at 33 Hertz on (1) 12D2

I found 2 old ass kicker CVR 15s on Craigslist for $150. I bought a taramps smart 3K for $270 and I hit 147 DB on stock electrical in a prefab box. I love budget bangers!!!

N2deep we were banging that song almost 30 years ago. Awesome to still hear it. Stickem B legit was our go to as well.

8:02 THAT GUCCI HIT DIFFERENT

I've always liked the look of those ribbed surrounds on this American Bass subs 👍 Yes hook them up to the 8k 😁

Glad you went with American Bass rather than kicker or fosgate. American Bass XFL,HD OR Hawks are very underrated, underutilized. Everyone runs to the big names when these guys can do everything the big boys can do for less $$$..

Mann .. I been on American bass but this video sold me more .. thanks for the walk thru and install

Great vidja as always keep it up Parker

My old system I had in my caravan is now in my boys Tahoe and it is noticeably louder in it. It's just 2 xr15s in a 7cf box tuned to 30/32 with a 1200w pioneer gm9701. On stock electrical... It is oddly slamming in that Tahoe. He was like 4 or 5 car lengths behind me and I could feel it in my car! It rattles the windows in the house when hes pulling in at the end and driveway is probably 100' long! It's not as loud as when I had them in my van on a cab45 amp but not crazy louder, ( I will say they did sound clearer and hit way more violent on the cab45) . I will say those AB XRs are the best value I've ever seen in a sub, there tough as nails and will get loud on not a ton of power, but they didn't break a sweat on that CAB 45 they would take whatever they got from that all day, as far a power on a Dyno those have made over 5k @ 1 ohm.

My favorite kinda vids bro! And yeah let's hook up that 8k and get those bad bois jumpin!

I wonder how a different sub around the same price would do in your 8 15s set up. Audiopipe BD2 or even Rockville punisher. Will have to see your old videos for db test. I liked the choice of stain as well. Keeping the cost down and looking professional 👌. I call it a win!!

Also super cool to see you jump back in the sequoia , same for big d using the gateley 12 in that sick box. All about the roots baby, would love to see a wrx video next dude 🇺🇸🇺🇸🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Nice video and totally agree with everything you said. I would also think that hooking up 8k will get you over 140db. Budget speakers so 143.7db.☺

Ive got an Audiopipe BDC4-12 on a JP8 doing a 136.3 at 30 hz in a trunk. Stock electrical as well!

I just grabbed 4 18" skar sdr's and a skar 2000 watt amp. Gonna throw them in my extended cab chevy at 1 ohm. Subwoofers and Amp only $700 with 15% off for the summer sale. Should be pretty loud on the cheap. Thanks for the content buuuuuddy.

Runnin two power acoustic gothic 12s I got from Walmart off a sundown sfb1k with stock electrical in my ext cab s10. Hit a 143.3 with my amp turned up a bit.

This makes me appreciate my lil deafbonce 10 in a 3d printed box that metered a 138.4. spicy lil daily setup

I like the video my brotha the only thing I'm having a hard time with is the size of my trunk unfortunately I don't have an SUV, so it makes things harder. I have 2 12 EVL's but only running 1 right now cuz of the size needed for a box that fits 2! I only have 33 inches in length in my trunk for where I want the subs due to their needing to be room in Infront of them! If I can find a box or someone that can make a custom box and isn't going to cost an arm and a leg, then I will do it! Thanks for showing this I did learn somethings!

Budget builds are the best, threw together a pair of sundown lcs12s on a sfb1k in the wife’s ride , clamped 735 watts did a 142.7 at 46hz 👌

500w can put a smile on your face...great vids!!

I have a budget system at the moment 😂 db machete 12 1600watt dual 2 ohm wired at 1 ohm on a pioneer gm-d8701 single channel monoblock 1ohm stable with 4 gauge wiring, it has cost me so far $650 aud because i already had an old box that i refurbished, budget isn’t always a bad thing it’s actually cost effective to have a budget system

I wish I could send this to you personally but I started from the bottom and now I have the ability to push top end subs over the limit,and I have very little knowledge on the subject I get my audio knowledge from you Big D XO and MB. In fact my build came from what I learned from you guys and I'm still learning, but quite frankly we are past this point. PLEASE DON'T MISUNDERSTAND!!!!! This is great content and there is definitely a need for it, it's great for many people but I need box design, equipment testing, product reviews, and maximum power testing on high level Amps And Subs. And yes by all means please do hook them up to the 8k

Hmm… question! So I’m eyeing up a 15” Skar bass package, and I’m wondering if I’ll have to upgrade my alternator/add a second battery. I don’t think I will, since it’s a 600W RMS sub (1200W peak power), and it’ll be in a 2021 Ram 1500 Limited with eTorque. Basically I’m just wondering if I have enough power for it without adding anything else I should add I’ve been watching a boatload of videos, but I’m still very new here

As usual great informative video parker. Keep it up!

In the early 90s Sound Stream made some amazing amps I ran mine at a half ohm no problem all day long pushing 1 Orion XTR 12 inch sub I had a Sound Stream Sa 165 Amp

Let's hear em on the 8k!!!!

I was just looking at these. About to go from a single 12 to a pair of 15s or possibly a single 18 in my Canyon and going the budget route on the subs for now so I can get fancy with the enclosure. These look good enough that I might actually just stick with them. I would love to see them on your 8k. I also very much enjoy when you have the AMM-1 hooked up to show the real time impedance and power.

The limiting factor on which subs to get is size of the box... 2 10's in the right airspace will outperform 2 12's that are in too small of a box...

The smile on ur face says it all man! Awesome! 😉👍😁

Pretty awesome demo there my friend.

Very nice video Parker. This should help budget BaSs heads gets started. Where is BasS head kitty?

i just installed a sundown x10 v.3 on a 5k amp in my car i most say im impressed what that the little beast can do

I feel ya on the budget end. Sad thing is I'm sitting on 2 15" u series, headways, and 2 sia 3500(1 per sub) and I can't get this build off the ground because my jeep keeps getting issues. I have the same model you had in your earlier videos, just an 07 Laredo but I'm chasing a grinding noise under the driver's side. Changed the transfer case and nothing. Hoping it's the front drive shaft. I wanna get this thing loud already haha but much love bro your vids are on point as always 😁

So what would you recommend for an Amp in a 2002-06 Honda CRV running on a stock 90~100 Amp Alternator with a 1000 CA Red Top Optima Dry Cell Battery? A 1500 Watt D•1 or 2000 Watt D•1 Amp? (Running either 2 18" EVLs, or possibly 2 18" CT SOUNDS Tropo's???) As of right now the setup im picking up will be (2) 18" SDR SKARS (650w RMS each) ATM, that come with a 2000 Watt Amp SKAR 2000•D1 Amp... The Box I will be having the (2) 18" SKAR SDR in will be a 4.6ft³ (which is EXACTLY what these subs need and call for) so 9.2ft Total Interior Air Volume space tuned to 29Hz The problem with 02-06 Honda CRV's is they have the ELD (Electronic Load Detector) underside the Fuse Box so will most likely have to bypass it or remove it from the system... Otherwise if I do Run into issues would adding a Capacitor be a great solution? I definitely don't want to add extra Batteries and have all that extra heavy weight in the CRV, but adding a Capacitor or upgrading the Alternator I'm ok with down the road (just not an Alternator at the moment if I can Help getting away without it, 😁) another problem I'm having is finding a ln upgraded 200 Amp Alternator for the CRV! Who should I look into buying an upgraded Alternator and Capacitor from???

Hook up the 8k to them. I have the same subs but the version 1 series that doesnt have the ribbed surround. Interested to see what kind of gains you would get jumping to the 8k.

Everyone has to start somewhere when it comes to bass, glad to see you doing builds like this for the noobs Parker!! My first build was a single 12 inch Kicker Comp Q and Kicker amp then went to a single Alpine Type R and a PDX M6 which lead me to where I'm at now with a Rockville Destroyer 12 D2 on a Belva BB5000 after blowing a Sundown Xv2 10. Bass is the essence of life's rhythm.

I'm into these types of builds!!!

Hell yeah!! love the smaller builds...

I have 4 American bass xfl15’s. The first 2 are going on 4 years old. Which definitely made me buy the next two. I LOVE AB XFL LINE. They say budget but I’m definitely louder than all of the people I personally know that spent a good bit more than I did. 🤷🏿‍♂️

I’m on stock 130a alt with big 3 and an xs power d1200 battery 0 gauge ofc. 2 sundown sa v2 12’s in a d4s profab box running on a synergy WFO 35.1D at 1ohm. Runs around 145db full tilt voltage drop into the 12’s. Not exactly budget but hey it’s on stock alt!

I like the budget build. I need to haul tools and kids in my daily. I did my big $ builds in my younger days. It’s way cheaper to build a budget system in 2022 than in was in 1997 when I started. These days my budget system consists of high performance stuff while reducing weight. My Audi sedan runs a high 11 second 1/4 mile with upgraded turbo and fuel system. So I have a skar 1200.1 and a skar evl8 in a custom ported box tuned to 38hz for lows.

Efficiency of the subwoofer and amp is key to getting your money's worth when you have stock electrical. If I was building a budget system I'd want 2 12" or 2 15" 500-700watt rms subs that had +90 sensitivity with a 1000-1500 watt Amp that was as efficient as I could get.

I put together a budget system in my 2000 Toyota Corolla that came factory with an 80 amp alternator! It starts with a $37 AM/FM/media player Belva radio. I already had 2 amps, a 4 channel Kicker and a Down For Sound Shop JP8. From the amps, the front and rear speakers were changed to some very cheap Dual brand 6 1/2” speakers running high pass on the Kicker amp, and these speakers ran $25 for each pair. For subs, I went small. I wanted the subwoofer sound, but I did not want to take up ANY trunk space, plus I wanted to keep it VERY cheap, and I wanted something that was VERY different and clean sounding instead of just loud. So I bought eight 6 1/2” midbass drivers from Partsexpress for $8 each, and they are running in an infinite baffle setup. All total, for everything except for the amps, cost me less than $200! The subwoofer setup, despite only using 6 1/2” midbass drivers, has useable output down to 25hz. However, at 25hz, excursion is VERY limited so I set the subsonic filter to 30 hz. It hits the low notes really good, thumps tight enough to feel it in your chest, and plays plenty loud enough. The best part is even with everything cranked, and the air conditioning running, the voltage never drops below 13.5 volts without even doing the Big 3!! I’ve got a video on my channel showing this little setup.

Loudest system I had was 2 1200 watt Audiobahns bridged on an(original). JL 500 mono. Small 94 Celica hatchback.. it banged... Eventually I added another amp, and had a 10" xtant on there as well.

The truth is. If you purchase speakers that have a good sensitivity rating then you don't need a ridiculous amount of wattage in order for them to sound loud and clear. On the other hand if you going to go out and buy a speaker because you like the way it looks or you like the price without any knowledge about it you may be forced to get an amplifier with mega wattage in order to get these speakers moving. Just one simple fact. Nice systems out there with one 8 inch woofer in a proper box providing enough base for music not a base contest. Same thing goes for he mids and highs. Name brand, efficient speakers amplifiers and proper installation. I had a friend that got a good 15inch woofer. He did not have the room for it. He mounted it in a box that was way to small and it had no low end at all.

I love the new kind of content!!!

Everyone hates skar but honestly 2 years ago i got a skar kit with a 12 inch SDR for $300 that came with a 800w rms amp, i blew the sdr pretty quick but immediately replaced it with the svr and have not had a problem since.. i plan to upgrade it eventually but it honestly has sounded so good ive spent my time and money on replacing all my speakers with kappas, getting a dsp, sound deadning, an 800w 4 channel amp, big 3, etc people always think i have wayy more in my trunk than what i actually do. The point is you can get a super cheap budget build that actually sounds decent and just add improvements to make it sound much better and prolonging it

One thing you didn't touch on was efficient subs and amps. Check the db rating on your subs. The higher the rating the less power it will take to make your subs sound good. Also check efficiency rating for your amp. If it's not doing 70 percent or higher for a sub amp your really going to tax the stock electrical. Williston Audio Labs will more than likely have an amp Dyno of the amp you want to try and run. Great video as always Parker!

Often times I end up watching one of these right after they come out because I stayed up all night lmao. It be 8 am currently and this will be my last video for the "night" Love you bro, truly an inspiration am go sleep loool. Goodnight! (In like 15 mins)

Would free air break-in work? Do you ever try inverting your subs? After I had one of my ohm wires came off and toast a coil. I've saved acouple subs by inverting them

Dude Rockville has a k6 8” subwoofer and now a Punisher 8” subwoofer ones $60 the others only $115. I’d love to see you test these out to see if they are a budget hit or not. They both looks good.

I was really hoping you'd pull out some test equipment and show how much amperage it was pulling and maybe even show the real time impedance load that the amp was seeing. 4ga is rated for 70A on a 20 ft run, but only if its copper. You should make it clear to use copper and not CCA.

KEEP IT BROTHER WE LOVE U MANN

Parker. Quick question. I wanted to grab a American bass sub 10 inch for space reasons and wanted to grab that tharamps md 1200.1 but cant find out what size gauge wire I need for that sub? I also was wondering if that amp would run a 1000 watt rms American bass subwoofer at 1 ohm well or should I get a bigger amp? Thanks for your help! Love the videos, keep it up!

I was just talking to someone about this. 800-1000 rms for 2 subs in a custom box is more than most people need. I built a full system for my wife's car with Lc2i for $400. Does 140s and it's more than she will ever need.

Blessings you always are very informative to bad I saw the video now if not I would've bought thise subs for that price Question I have 2-12 kicker Solo-Baric l7 and a 3k Taramp but when either I raise the volume or some type of base comes in my amp goes into protection and the it restarts if I don't lower the volume one or two notches it will go into protection

My set up is budget as well I have a used sony dsx300 headunit Rockville 4 channel 100wx4 Skar 6.5 upfront Cerwin vega 6.5 in the rear Rockville db14 1000rms @ 2ohms Kicker comp r 12s in a kicker box at 2ohms

If y put taramps smart 3k what cain of electrical y need. all ready have a big tree secudary battery super cell 1600. ofc 4 gauge wire american bass 4000 w amp 2 ,12 sub american bass 1244 elite do i need more power for the taramps smart 3k thanks.

Funny stuff, I just bought this exact Amp, it was recommended at the store, Hooked it up, haven't tune it yet, But I am happy.. Not trying to shake the Ground, but to have good base, and it does the job, and I have 2 /12" trash 300watts rms 1.2kwatt peak.. Thinking on getting that AP2bd2 you like so much, for what I've seen in your videos for $100 ... 2 / 12" of those with this amp, could be right.

Muito top o som, parabéns, Taramps é animal

Great vid. Numbers may be a bit low, but those subs could easily handle some more power if you expand your budget in the future. A 2000 watt amp may have got a 140 an still been ok electrically assuming the stock electrical isn't horrible as some vehicles are. I've had pretty good luck running 2k amps on stock electrical with minimal upgrades, maybe a big 3. That usually gives enough to run 2k/2.5k once again assuming the vehicle has a somewhat decent stock alt. Hope to see more videos like this! I love my more expensive gear, but ive always had a passion for loud lower budget systems. It might sound silly , but i wouldn't mind seeing how loud an how good a complete boss system could sound. Yes their numbers are an out right lie, but can it still get loud an sound good on the cheap?

What is you guys with a good bit of knowledge opinions on 8” subs I’m currently running a single CT sounds meso 12 powered by a sundown sae v-3 2000d and it gets down pretty good but I’m thinking of going 3 ct sounds strato 8” what’s y’all’s thoughts? Thanks I’m advance

137.4 on 1.5cf, 33hz tuning, dodge journey, dd 9512i, m3b @ 2ohms, stock 165a alternator and electrical. Shockingly musical for an spl sub.

I don't know how to say this, but What? I have a pb of 144.8 @ 39hz on a singel 18" in a poorly designed musical box clamping 580w rms. My buddy does 143db on a factory 2x12 RF p2 with a Rf 1200.1 (o Probably no way near the 1ohm 1200watt.. )

I had 2 hiphonics Brutus 15in subs on 3500 watt Orion amp. Hit pretty hard and was well under 1k.

Am also thinking of upgrading the two subs from 400 watts to dubble or more. What can you recommend?

Hey Parker, I'm running Deaf Bonce DB252 D1 and Hertz HDP1 and a 102amp alternator with 4ga wire. Is my alternator sufficient?

Already excited for this one 😁

Hey Parker what would you recommend 4 12s elites or 2 15s HDs

I've got a American bass hawk 15 wired to 2 ohm, on a ct sounds 2000.d mono, at 2 ohm that amp puts out 1250 rms, and I've 2400 watt amp, at 4 ohm x 4 channels its 400 rms per channel going to 4 6x8 kenwood performance series door speakers on a stock f150 alt and if I'm driving I very rarely go under 13.5 volts and that's usually at a pretty good volume.

I had issue with the tramps and sound digital 1600 couldn't push my american bass elites for more than 10 minutes with out cutting out. Put in the audiopipe 1800 and now we're good. No issues. The audiopipe sound better too

Is this Taramp 1200 Bass recomendable for the Skar Audio 12inch bass 1200??

little tiney amp does pretty good looks like the box is tunned low they way i like it might not do numbers but dropping those lows that rittz song one of my favs im running the biggest wolfram 300 ounce 12s 2000rms 3 of them on a taramp 12k does a 150 in a 2003 buick lesabre with subs face tords back think i could get a 153 if i turned subs around and ajust vent for higher bass but thinking on going to a hatch car and ad the forth sub in and go with 2 amps

I got a skar sdr 15 that came with the amp, wires ect for like 500 bucks on amizon and it hits damn good down at 14 hz it looks like it sounds about the same as the 2 in the video and taps out my phone speaker.

Really appreciate this video I’m a beginner and didn’t want to do the big 3 upgrade, For sound quality and loudness would it be better to do 1 12 at 750 rms or 2 12’s at 400rms each? Cone area or power

Hello good video! I have a question about how the Tramps 1200 amplifier has been calibrated. Can you give me the specs you entered, gain, Hz, subsonic etc... I installed a Taramps 3000 at 1 Ohm in my car and I drive a Bass Face Red Subwoofer from 12" 2+2 Ohm but I don't have the same tremor performance as you. Can you give me some advice? Regards in advance

What do you think of the hst 12's could you accomplish this same sound for even less money? im curious i think they are by wlldst.
