CT sounds is underrated in my opinion. I put a 10 in a probox and it slammed pretty good for the amount I paid. $20 for the sub and $20 for the enclosure. By far the best $40 system I've ever heard.....

By far Sundown keeps showing us that they are pretty much the king out there....The one sub that looks the cheapest can take the most abuse...Sundown Audio FTW Again!

You're soon gonna have millions of views man! you're going great and the content is really worth for new bassheads out there! Keep it up!

Love your videos. You do a damn good job. I love that you go over the parameters and show the rms the subs are receiving while metering them. Great job

Thank you for taking the time to make a video, for our entertainment. And, thank you for your honest and real world review, just like most consumers would test these subs in their cars. I've had the same exact experience with Skar Audio, even their ZVX 12 came a part on rated power, very dissapointing. Great job on video and thank you.

Glad to see your recent success. Keep up the good work.

Great video brother! Thanks for all the hard work to make it happen!!

Thanks for taking the time to do these test man

Ive been waiting for this vid from ya for the longest!!!

What a great video! Keep up the good work Parker!

I’m really liking that audiopipe

I have the original audiopipe eye candy red with the aluminum cone and it has 800 watt rms rating, the frame and motor are identical so I think it can take more power! Another great comparison Parker keep it rolling 💪

Fantastic video. Super informative. Thank you for showing all the B roll of the speakers in action. Well done!

Parker the king 👑 of sub reviews love your channel!!! Keep up the great content

I was today old when I realized you got a black sequoia like we do 🤣 awesome man!

Love car audio bass the most so for interactive videos that are not just demos but in depth love it bro

Most excellent work!

That VFL is clean looking love the inverted dust caps

This channel deserves way more subs

Rip my headphones. Good shit Parker 🔥

One month in and i still love my audio pipe dbc2 12s money well spent thanks

Thanks for what you do keep up the good work

I watched all your subs test and listened to your advise for the NVX..i've now had it for a month installed in a small sealed box...i replaces an old 12 in YAMAHA YCS-1212 (bought when YAM were doing car audio) which had given many years of service, the amp is a CLARION APA1100 sub amp that i had the chance in the past to compare and choose many years ago, i listen mostly to old prog rock, RUSH-MARILLION,FLOYD etc where you often find 25-30 hz bass pedal or synth. as you said in your conclusion the NVX is for higher end sound quality...and i confirm that it goes in theese HERTZ area naturally without any `boosting``. Totally satisfied ...for the money spent. thanks

Its funny watchin this kid blow stuff up. Dont really know what he is doing but learning. Very enjoyable. I like when said this is a musical sub but not for getting loud. Reminds me of my younger days when i didn't listen to music either.

Hello, I'm from méxico and audiopipe is a really really good sub Great video

I got two tropo 10" 4ohm. Gonna put on 1 ohm. Happy that all the reviews on the CT sounds tropo are good. Got two metra sq boxes. Not gonna work. Getting the MDF and gonna make an spl box for em. 3ft³

Soundquebed Hs2 and Audiopipe bd2 best bang for buck in my opinion! Good videos and great channel!!

I'd love to see some videos highlighting shallow mounts. A nice shoot out would be great to see what the numbers are and how they compare with one another.

I had that nvx sub in a 15" once and it's actually easily a SQ sub it sounded awesome one of the best I've had but the VCW sounded awesome too but it took quite a beating., The vsw is not a high wattage sub it will take decent power just not for extended times,, I did burn it up really pushing for 5 min or so but imo it was pressurizing a mini van quite well for a cheap sub with a small motor.

Love your channel bro keep it up

I think the SQ sub would be my choice, I have seen many nice builds with them and they make a nice sound in a well tuned box. Thanx for the sweet review Parker I can't believe I have been watchin as long as I have lol good times

Well made dude. You dam sure took a huge leap in buying all those. It shows you're really committed to the fans. Your tests go all the way, keep it up.

Audiopipe' great subs for the money

Audio pipe has some of the best looking subs too me

I push 2 12 inch 1800 watt audiopipes with a 3000 watt taramps smart 3 d amp and i havent blown them yet, those things are freaking amazing, great video !!!👍

I knew I could count on you. I have a Nemesis 2k 2000w amp & Skar 12's. They're rated at 800w & I'm not even gonna try to hook them to the 2k. 👌

I think that I would go with either the Audiopipe or the CT sounds one. They both seem like good products.

Excellent job and great video👍👍

Bought the tropo 10 because of this review. Good cheap sub btw!

Audiopipe for the win

Holy sheet its 7 in the morninLETS GO parker u arent kiddin about that upload time,

I have a pair of the hds2's and I have been giving each one 1200 watts on music and sometimes as much as 1700 on burp over and over for the last 2 years they eat the power they will always be my favorite 100$ sub I need to check out that audiopipe tho.

I used to have 3 bd2 12s in my Yukon. Never had it metered but all of my friends says it was louder than my friends RF P3 15s. Of course more power and surface area than those but at the time everyone said his P3s was rocking the neighborhood until I came along lol audiopipe ftw all day

I replaced a skar vd 8 rated at 400rms for a ct sounds bio 8 rated at 250rms. They were running on an alpine 500w amp when the coil separated on the vd. I’ve since replaced the alpine amp with an ignite amp that puts out around 900rms on an amp dyno. The ct sounds subwoofer did so well on 900 watts that I bought another one to go in my truck. I also have a sundown ev3 15 running a crescendo bc3500 daily in my wife’s car. All I can say is sundown and ct sounds both can both take the power and abuse. Unbelievable what the little ct sounds bio would do but I think we all expect the best from sundown!

Awesome video bro! Can’t wait to see what you come up with next!

Lovin it, nice vid, a lot to be seen here!

Just 2 mins in, but I think that audiopipe has a really good chance to win

Great video Parker!! I've watched numerous "budget" sub videos and yours is by far the most thorough. Keep it up bro and BASS on!! 🔊🔊

My favorite sub is that Audiopipe sub by far!

If your enclosure and especially the port is mismatched, your impediance can get lower as recommended for the woofer. This will result in higher current and therefore more heat in the voicecoil. Also the detached spider could be a result of a misalignment. The wrong port can cause extreme high spider deflection at low frequences. For fair results the speaker must have the right enclosure/port.

I must say that the ct sound dub is quite new in the market but im impressed with it

Someone told big d that he should do a video w you. And I'm all for it! Your making it in the bass head community man! Congrats buddy!

Great video..great info

Great video. Very thurough! A low to high db list would have been a nice addition for the bass heads. But an awesome video👍🥂🦻🤯🥇

I was looking forward to the spl test on the Audiopipe, but I didn’t see one?, I would definitely watch more of these videos, and would love if you kept the testing parameters the same for each sub , ( power , placement,frequency) I would like to see bursts tests @30,40,50,60hz in the same location and same input power , I know how time consuming it is but keep up the good work 👍🏻

Great video would have liked for you to talk about box requirements of each a little but awesome video. Not surprised at all about the skar.

i was thinking of doing a test build with the lcs because of sundown and the conservativeness. if people understood the price point for the actual handling, and build quality and longevity. other subs are good, but kicker is good for the little while it lasts. that excursion was crazy though. used to have 1 e 15 and easily ran 1000 watts on it and it was straight flexin.

Great video

Used JL Audio good choice too

I do greatly appreciate the content tho💪🏻💪🏻🙏

That audio pipe sounds pretty good

The Skar sdr is very underated imo had 8" at rms 400 for a year and can handle up to 500 so you might have a defective one and box tunning is important. Definitely a great sub all day, hits harder than my Memphis

Hey Parker 👋, The AP is my favorite on that note if u don't know if it is steal basket or aluminium just put a magnet to it... Great vid keep up the good work.

Bro i really think ur videos are so awesome u sho a lot of detail and alot of people don't like to share that's why i think ur a cool BASSHEAD u love to share ur knowledge and experience and that is so amazing there's not too many people out there that want to do that so many many thanks for all ur videos and information i bet ur a really cool dude in person i can tell u love to help others in any way u can i try to watch all ur videos and i tell all my friends and family to check out ur channel ur a really smart kid i don't mean to say kid it's just ur look younger so it's a compliment young and so Knowledge ok i ramble on enough but really thank u for all ur videos I've learned so much from them so please keep them coming im sure alot of others feel the same way thanks again BROTHA [☣✌💪🔈✌💪🔉✌💪🔊☣]

AudioPipe has the budget game in its pocket. They have been doing budget equipment for so long that the seem to have cracked the formula for a good price and equally good quality. I never considered audio pipe because it always came to my mind the EYE CANDY line of sub that in my opinion looked super cheap and tasteless. Their subs are actually good looking. Specially the C line. Awesome video. Appreciate your time and effort!

Ive had a hds3 and I really liked it so I think I'm going to go with two of the hds2s for my blazer. They should do well not going for any comp/spl build.

Bad thing about this is each sub requires a different amount of space and different amount of port volume and tuned frequency so each sub tried its best with the box you offered them

Gust send it. Loved the rms for one song review. Good job Parker.

Audio pipe are crazy I’m buying haha

Great video Parker! Loved it man. You didn't pull any punches. Definitely the Audio Pipe. I hope your channel grows enough that you will be able to test some bigger subs in this same fashion. I watch every video you make. Really, really need the content right now. How's the build coming? Have you decided on which subs you are going to go with?

cerwin vega vmax subwoofer sound loud and clean you should check those out. from those i think audiopipe handle better the lows great video

I have old txxbl something audiopipe 15 with the big surround one of my favorite subs bangs really hard for only having a 1500 watt amp to a 2k watt sub

love Skar

I have two of the Soundqubed HDS2 12" in a 3.6 cu ft box slot port tuned to 42hz wired to one ohm running on a Rockford Fosgate Prime R500X1D. It is has a nice thick response, with good edge on the attack. It makes for a perfect daily setup in my 05 Scion XB. Pity on the Skar, I was considering getting the IX 12 for another daily project. I am digging the hell out of that Sundown. Then again all roads lead to Sundown! :)

I ran some audiopipe subs a few years back and I wasn't impressed. But this model seems pretty good, I'm surprised. I'd probably buy that over the others you reviewed. Either that or the vfl, I like the look of that one.

Awesome vid...👍👍👍...

Just keep going You're great I support you I share you on facebook . Croatia

seeing the white paint on the ct just reminds me of a speaker i installed on my 2001 tahoe and it was a speaker from back in the day but i know nothing on it but the name on it witch was "urban audio" i think, and that just makes me want you to review old speakers from back in the day but it will probably be hard to do cause in that time frame they would have passed hands or been in the element's in hoop-dee's everywhere great idea for a video not practical though.

Awesome video

Second video and enjoying this channel

I cooked a Skar SDR 12 fairly quick. It wasn't a terrible speaker but a bit muddy and pretty narrow range but would definitely get loud. Once it loosened up it had a nice boom in my vented box. I switched to a Skar SVR 12 and it was worth the $30-$40 price difference. It hits deeper, sounds better on the high end bass, plays smoother, and is a bit louder on the same setup. Much stiffer and that is probably why the break in seemed to take longer and quite a bit heavier. I had my sub in 2 days on each order.

Love the reviews on each sub. I have had APs but they where the 15s and they lasted for 3years after I bought them from someone. Now I have the NVX 15s of the sub you have and they get down with the right box. My box is tuned low and they seem to love it

✌😏 Parker.. Good to see you still have bass blood. I still try to send it daily too. Stay fresh brother!

I will always be a Sundown Fan. They do a great job on their woofers. Say what they mean and mean what they say. If you are at all into S.Q.? Want to do a REAL build with their woofers? Want specs that match the box almost every single time? That's the way to go. And they have a great customer service. It takes them a bit sometimes. But they really will get the job done. NVX: My choice for sound quality on a budget price. CHeck out their amp mods you can do to make them S.Q. Fantastic. AUDIOPIPE: The Goofy looking sub that could do it all! LOL! I HATE the look. But damn. They work! And work hard!

That was awesome - thanks for taking the time to do this man - you're efforts are most helpful With that said, any chance you could do some tests on sound quality also? Not sure how this could be done, but I'm trying to setup a system that both; sounds good, and rattles the teeth when need-be Don't know if that's realistic, but would love to see someone cover such a topic personally. Thanks again for all your help - love your work

Just an idea but maybe you should do the RMS test first and then send the crazy power and do your loud DB test at the end. Just a thought.. that way you have more real-world RMS results and not damage or tear something up for the RMS test so it will be more accurate. But anyways keep up the good work Bubba

So this kid that used to hang out with me saw my system which is four Sundown Audio SA12-D2s in a custom made sealed box running on an Orion HCCA SPLX 3k watt amp and I had a pair of American Bass 12s and a garbage Lanzar 3000 watt terminal style amp from Maxxsonics...lmao I bought them for testing, but I had those two American Bass 12s in the trunk of my Civic on a PPI 1200 watt amp and they didn't sound bad at all. I sold those two 12s and the Lanzar amp to that kid for $150 (which is what I paid for everything) and he loved it. That amp only pushed out like 100 watts, but he loved it and said that it bumped in his Accord, and that's what it's all about.

Thanks so much for this video. I have had the BD2 Audio Pipe for years and no problems. I am getting the AP 15s for a different car. I hope they do just as good! What do you think about the Audio Pipe 100 buck 15s?

Parker if you ever do another comparison, please also try including FU Audio, they sell a 300 watt model for $80.00. Probably similar to the LCS.

Thanks vídeos..... Very goooddd

Audio pipa rules

NICE BRO!!!

Hey I'm new to car audio your video helps

Hey good videos man.I got a question,im looking to buy a 18" speaker and the right size amp and box.looking for low deep bass at 1 to 2 ohms.It would be cool to see test some of those or whatever would bring that sound best thanks and keep up the good work.

Super informative. A few guys do the amp dyno's but you are the only one that tests subs out that I've seen. One question? When they rate these subs should they be rated with one continuous tone at the RMS wattage or just as you did with music ?

I have the Audiopipe and is my favorite. It out did my JL Audio W6. It blow and replaced it with the Audiopipe and wow. Takes a beating.

CT, Soundqubed and Audio pipe are the best in this list.

Yup.

That audiopipe is the best sub in his group

Gotta try out the Rockford Fosgates T1 power series!! I got 1 12 an anybody that gets in my car thinks I got 2 12s💯 they are a beast🔈 but are expensive..but for good reason! Quality an reliablity
