Both are very impressive...as much as the sundown wins,the deaf bonce is also no joke at all....I love the way it handled different frequencies without any pressure

Through the video, The Deafbonce just sounds cleaner and stronger

That Sundown is an absolute monster. And in my mind if you're getting a sub that expensive for a matching system, another $100 is no big deal.

You're the man Parker! Savard HiQ is my current favorite sub, love to see you put one through the paces...

Beautiful comparison,keep up the good work you came a long ways!

Brother !! Your awesome man the content gets better and better appreciate the time you put in to it 😁 !!! Just got my first taramps amp thanks to your videos

Bro u always smiling it's good to no u luv wat u do keep up the good work n keep bringing them videos

Deaf Bonce for me. That German engineering is definitely a force. I have 3 Deaf Bonce 4518r 18s running on 3 Deaf Bonce 6k's. No complaints at all!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the true 5min power test! ABSOLUTELY AWSOME! CHannel is improving. Im subscribed now. 2 thumbs up Parker!

Your videos are always so entertaining. Love your content man!

I like how you do the db test. I wish other channels would do the same. The higher db is most likely due to what i mentioned in my previous statement having to do with the vc configuration 1 being xmax limited due to that while the other isent. U kind of answered your own question in the vid with out relizing it. Once again you can see the difference that makes on the winISD graphs also.

Great vid Parker! I just got on your fb page. I’m all about daily. I really liked the sound of that Db. Always wanted to try their subs. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Been loving your content for a while. I personally love deaf bonce but Sundown has just such a good rep. I guess deaf bonce does too, but vid was awesome!

I agree with Derek. I always remembered Parker your first name but not the last part. It's makes it easier finding your channel 👍👍 great comparison and thanks for all your content

Better or worse I have to say Deaf Bonce makes a hell of a sub for the money. Thanks for another great vid. 👍

Been a while since I've watched a video parker. Loving the reviews though bro, they keep getting better and better with time. Good stuff!

Yo parker.. I think before you start comp the deafbounce to win .. Yo Parker you did a nice build for the show .. it reminded me of the 04 Daytona build off I won first place 6 hour build I did a wall dB platinum series subs and amps 2 12" 2 15" hit 168.36. I am doing my first build since 08 for my son graduating next year I'm doing a 07 Yukon got 16 highs and 8 mid subs , going to rebuild my 2 12" dB platinum series for bac and 2 8" pandas for the front...

Great vid as always very helpful but how about the zv6 vs the 4515 you might want to use a larger amp for that test but I bet that would be a vid to watch for everyday entertainment keepup the good work

Xmax= coil travel while still in the magnet. Xmech= max total possable mechanical movement. Great video thanks JV 😎

I would def be happy with either one! Great video man

I like both of them for different reasons. They both have great applications.

Another dope video!!! Think I'm going DB on this one, I always get my sub suggestions from Parker, and my amplifier recommendations from Big D Wiz. They haven't led me wrong yet!!! 👍

Good job Parker. N I like the name change. Old one didn't bother me a bit so what ever floats your boat in that respect.

Great work on the videos. Awesome job.

Enjoyed the vid man! Keep it up

Love the vids bro! Thinking of putting 2 X12 V3’s in the camaro with a 8k taramp like you but no idea what I’m doing😂

I like that Sundown. I just like to be different. Everyone around here runs Sundown. I been watching Deaf Bonce and actually was going to buy a couple of 3012's but they were out of stock at the time, same goes for B2 Audio. So I decided on two DC Elite XL 12's. Now I'm getting ready to put a decent system in my daily. One of those would work. I have about 4 mono amplifiers with a range of different wattage that are capable of running .5 ohm. Already been on your Facebook page. Congrats on that. I'd like to see you test some DC subs. If I get a suburban next year I'm going to try and do some lvl6 DC subs. Keep doing what you're doing. Much love brother.

Listening to the motor on the subs is just amazing

Love what you do man keep it up

Honestly love both subs. I'm a statistics and number kind of guy. I would go with the deaf bonce. 1db gain for 100$ more... granted you didnt have to push the sundown as hard as the DB to get the numbers. Sundown always conservatively rates their subs. DB seems to hit the nail on the head with their ratings. For the amount of power the sundown took it almost seems like you would have to give it more than what it is rated get the decibels you pulled from the spl meter. Sundown probably louder I bet the Deaf Bonce is more than likely more musical > spl with this particular sub

Great vid my man, I'd roll with the Deaf Bonce. I'd love to see you test an American Bass Xmaxxx Monster 12 though!!!

Damn Parker congratulations 40k

I would love a sub like that Parker 🖐🤞 thats awesome you are giving back to the basshead community, hell yea 👍 another banger vid.

Great video sir. Keep em comin!!

Fingers crossed man! A dual 2 ohm would work great in my Neon! I've got a soundigital evo2 3k I could get that thing flexing with! 💪🏽

dude u really inspired me to get good car audio when i’m 16. i’m thinking a sundown 12 with a taramps amp and pioneer door speakers

Id like to see you try this same battery of tests on an Audiopipe BDC4 please and thank you! I know you messed with them in the past, Id sure like to see you play with a 15 inch version.. with the 3.3 inch coils and bigger suspension they are quite the upgrade over the 12 inch with 3 inch coil! Keep up the great work my man!

So I'm definitely trying to be apart of the audio scene. I've always been banging some 12s since I started driving, always tried to get my foot in the door but lack of the needed money has always been the downfall. Ive been subbed for awhile and seen what youve been doing on these and I wanted to ask if you had any words of encouragement or some tips or anything to help lol. Thanks ahead of time parker

Changing your name should get more subscribers fingers crossed for you bro I love the content I wish you would do more speaker comparisons and amp dynos to your arsenal but always love the vids and new subwoofers I know you have to spend alot and that is appreciated

The Sundown basket is functional. Forced cooling. Best basket in car audio bar none. I really prefer the traditional gasket ring also. I build walls and invert sometimes. Sometimes it's the small things.

The flex on that sundown tho 😱🤯

Great video Parker! The name change fits you quite well! That seemed to be a great standoff between the two. I personally would probably lean toward DB for my every day. Only for the fact I'm on full tilt at all times I'm in my truck and with the limited space I believe would be great. The DB is a little more eye catching as well with the colors, the dust cap and that beautiful beauty ring! I prefer 12's cuz it gives you a broad low and high note range! You sir are doing a great job! Bass on brother!

Wow great video once again brother that Sundown is a Beast an the DB there wasn't much of a difference between the two the Sundown definitely had your plate moving more and then once I watched more of the video on decibel reading's I seen why I think I want to invest in a SPL meter my kids broke my old one 🙄

Savard states that their 12” HiQ subwoofer can handle 1700 watts rms, and significantly more with clean power. This is for a sub $300 subwoofer! I would love for you to test one to see if their claims are legit.

I know im choosing DB Apocalypse. Bc i own 2 of the exact same sub. Great video parker like the new name basshead

I got the a sundown x12v3 . Been playing it for 3 weeks. Is a beast .

Great video as usual. Plus I love the give aways 😊

From Walmart subs to these? I'm proud of what you do👍😎

Try the RMS test on one of the Pride Audio subwoofers. Those are beasts as well. I’d go with a deaf bonce sub because I’ve never experienced owning one of those!!

Videos still banging sundown is always crazy sub. Deafbonce is coming to the top though. Keep them coming

I almost grab that bass knob threw the phone ....lol that tone test 💪🏻

Love that that DB sub!

Great test loved it thank you for that.

Both good looking subs. The DB definitely needs a boot on the motor that would make it look a little bit better.

I need to learn how to re cone . Parker your vids the best man

Been wanting another system ever since my quad coil 15" RE XXX and my JL 1200.1 amp got stolen about 20 years ago. But guessing I'll never have another system. Those have to be some of the best subs ever in existence. I watched some of my friends take it to competitions and passing it among each other for years then I bought it and was playing it loud daily for probably four or five years before it got stolen and was still playing like new.

Those xv3s are insane! Run your fs parimiters from each sub through win ISD and you will see the huge difference between the 2 just like in your vid when u show the voice coils.

Well put. Great review

Those spots on the coil is definitely from clipping. Also xmax doesn't determine overall excursion whatsoever. Xmax is just a formula of linear excursion the coil staying within the gap and it's calculated by the winding width of the coil minus the top plate thickness divided by 2. So a 50mm tall coil windings with a 12.5 mm (1/2") top plate would be 18.75mm of xmax and same exact coil with a thicker 25mm (1") top plate Would be 12.5mm xmax. So the deaf bonce either has a shorter winding width or a thicker top plate or both, xmech is the mechanical limits of the motor basically to peak to peak, and I'd say likely the Sundown can move more peak to peak than the deaf bonce but that extra excursion may or may not noticably hurt sound quality whether that's better that comes down to the users opinion and what there looking for. There's people that say it's stupid but personally even tho sound quality is important the huge motors and insane excursion is what I look for in a sub...call me shallow lol, Bass is more than just function it's also a visual thing you want it to look badass too..., not many bassheads do not include form along with the function when choosing a sub!? They want both!!!!

PARKER.. Try the B2 Audio Rage XL 12. It’s rated @2500 rms. But it has a extra huge spider and xl dustcap to keep the sub cooler when pushing the hell out of it.. The sub basket and spider is the most beautiful sub you’re going to ever see. The price is same as sundown pretty much. You need to test it!!!!

I love the 🐈 basshead cat 🐈 lol keep the good work Parker

Great video!! What would be my choice? Deaf Bonce. Sound quality is almost as impressive as the Sundown and aesthetically it’s great eye candy.

Always fun thanks again.

Man I want that sub lol 😂🤣 & That cheesin smile when you held up the camera was hilarious by the way bahahahaha 😂🤣

Supporter here from Philippines!

U are one brutal guy with those 2 subs !

Mann the sundown throw is crazy!!

Phenomenal subs...try Nemesis Hectic 12, if it does not pass I might get one of the 2 you just tested or maybe a ZV 6 sundown (06/06) well i now have an xv.3 12 and very happy. it hits very low and hard. powered by a salt4, still in the process of building my lithium bank....

They are both great subs. But if i had to choose one id go with the sundown.

Great content! Very informative when going out to get some new subs.

Im new to your videos just loved how you showed this video started to follow 👍 you should compare their x8v3 with db 8inch sub do it for us guys with a single cab mini truck/ 2 seater cars lol

Awesome vid bro. I would love to have any 1 of those

I have four Sundown SA12-D2s on an Orion HCCA SPLX 3k watt in my Acura TL and they slam pretty good. I built the box, but it's old and I need to build a new one.

Have you tried the Toro Fierce 12S sub at length? Mine sounds really good with a CT1500.1 amp. Awesome videos man!!🔊🔊🔊🔊

Should try the Resilient sounds subs. Very strong, nice tones as well.

I just bought 2 of the sundown x v3 in 10s can't wait to hear them on the salt 4 .......I'd like to see you test the CT Sounds meso 10 out

Have you ever thought about reviewing any SSA subs ? Great videos, keep it up.

I like the new handle bro… bass on.

Definately think these two companies are the best at what they do over the entire car audio spectrum.

I will definitely take that off your hands thanks for the opportunity

If I win the deaf bonce sub I am creating a 6th order for it and it will be a huge upgrade over what I currently have. I joined and liked the facebook page, so im excited to see what happens.

parker u need to give us a bass track list bro those tunes sound off theee charts!

You’ve got a fun job!!!🔊🔊👍

Liked and done . Good job brotha !!!

Maybe Deaf Bonce determines the Xmax differently like Sundown. It seems to be, at Sundown that 100 mm peak-to-peak Xmech excursion means the excursion limit just before damage or just before bottoming out, and they determined the Xmax just as the half of it. At deaf Bonce is pretty plausible that the Xmax is defined as a one-way excursion at 70 percent of BL, so, if it is true, then Xmech or peak-to-peak excursion is in the most case when Xmax is defined at 70 percent of BL can be counted out as (Xmax + Xmax / 2) x 2. So, for deaf Bonce: (19 + 19 / 2) x 2 = (19 + 9.5) x 2 = 28.5 x 2 = 57 mm - this is the theoretical peak-to-peak excursion limit for Deaf Bonce - still just a little bit more like the Sundown's Xmax... Sound-wise: Deaf Bonce really sounded more musical, so, if I have to define which I will use for what, then Sundown just for competitions or shows, and Deaf Bonce also for competitions or shows + as a daily sub too, so...

I like the Deaf Bonce Apocalypse subwoofer more because I just love bass and I only listen to music not out for SPL

Would love to see a DD Z4 comparison. Not a lot of them out there. They look mean as hell

I just bought some 2 10in Zv3s cant wait

Like your page and following you brother! Like the name change as well! Cool beanz!

I would probably pick the sundown just because of the xmax alone but either way the sensitivity on both of them is complete fuggin doodoo and they take alot of power to get loud that being said I kinda like how db looks so I ordered 2 db avatar stu 12s gonna throw them on this MD 8k and see what they can take this week when the subs arrive😎✌

Impressed with the DB for being cheaper and having a smaller magnet and less xmax and yet handled 2600 rms,and was only a little off on the spl test.

The extra 100 dollars goes too, supporting American workers and being able to grab a quick re-cone basically forever.

i never heard of deaf bonce till met this dude who had 2 12 told me to sit in car and relax when he played music and the bass hit OMG i felt like i couldnt breath how hard they where hitting thats when i fell in love with them

I think they're both pretty badass Subs

You should try testing out soundqubed hdx4 . Just curious if it can handle its rms rating.

King city Customs did the wall in my truck! It looks so amazing!

both are awesome but im into the down. i just bought a pair of Nvx 12 with box would like to know if i should buy a better box and which amp is a good recommend to buy

I have the x15 v2 and yeah sundown kicks the rest now I liked this it was a real good comparison really let’s you know the right direction to go but I got a quick question if you have got time and can answer it Parker I know your busy man what would be two 12s In a sealed box’s could put on my synergy wfo2.10 dyno shows it made like 4500 watts but it’s 2250 watt amp I’ve looked t a few but there are so many and most are for ported I have a ported 15 and was wanting some of the old school tight hitting bass a couple 12s could give me ! Thanks if you can

I wonder how the CT Sounds Exo would compare to these. I love my Strato but would be happy to upgrade to that DB should I be lucky enough to win

The DB speaker looks sexy but you cant go wrong with Sundown.
