I miss having a loud setup. Just got a mediocre system now, due to dad life. Just a Kicker TL7 12" in a Kicker prefab preloaded enclosure. Still hits decent for a single sub though.

Remember that if you want to see him test certain subs we’ve got to share the videos and also be sure to comment on the videos. Parker is as thorough as you can be when he does his test.

🤣 hell yeah! FULL TILT SERIES!!! The 20Hz test had me cracking up! I was impressed with the low mechanical noise. Everything seems lined up well.

I really like the looks of this sub and the power you put to it I was really surprised with that as well! I really enjoy your videos and how well you explain everything about each sub and the tests you put them through. I’ve actually learned quite a bit from your videos and I truly appreciate it Parker.

Parker, have you ever looked into 18" subs? It will change your life. you have the room and the power. you can do box builds for your vids.

Man you have grown a lot. I remember 2 years ago when i looked up for a skar sdr review and your channel popped up. Because of you i got a skar evl and other things. Glad to see the the growth that u deserve.

Huge shoutout to you Parker. You’re definitely coming a long way! I’ve Been here since the cheapest Walmart dual, And will remain here till there’s a TXX-BDC4 on your gravestone.

Off topic info: In a previous video you had issues when you inverted that Audiopipe subwoofer. I just got one and you can remove the gasket and flip it over so the flat smooth part is on the top. This allows you to invert mount with a tight seal. Also useful for dual subwoofers mounted face to face in an isobaric enclosures.

That sub is sittin there lookin like Superman.

Mines .5ohm as well ,inverted in a 4 cf dual aeroport , 2.5" baffle , on an AP 1800. Underpowered but breakin necks forsure

If I had a recommendation you should totally make a separate box for the larger subs (the ones that take up more space in the box) see what they can do in a bigger box 👍

MY GOOOD THAT SURROUND GOT ME HAAAARD

Back in the 90s I was so torn between some American bass subs, and lanzar DC. I went with the lanzars. 30 years later I still dream of owning some American bass subs. Hopefully 23 is the year!

Because of you I now have these two in my F150. I appreciate you very much!

My buddy bassin semi just got done with his build in his semi truck he has 8 of these in there on 40,000k crazy loud I just order 2 15's that's all I need can't wait to break em in love your video's bro💯🤘🏿🔥

"This is 2022" "No one cares" I lol'd when you said that haha. Great video. Ive always wanted to see one of these in action

You should do a video comparison of different enclosures same subs and see what difference in numbers you get. Alot of people on a budget don't realize how much money a badass box can save. That american bass subs is crazy.

That’s bad ass!!! Thanks for always upload and sharing knowledge 😎🙏🏽

When i was a kid I had subs in a parking cone in my room! Always been a bass head but as I get old….er I prefer sound stage and quality but still get a kick out of seeing these crazy sub builds!!!!

This is the best 12 inch sub u have ever owned

I love what you said about MAX POWER... LOL every company is pushing those numbers like they really mean something. Ive got a pair of some old audiobahn flame q 10s that are running 1500RMS each on a Taramps 3k. They were rated 1000rms and 2000 peak, I've had them since 2005, never blown slammin every day at full tilt.

I had a 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T with two 15" JL Audio subs and a massive PPI amp and it was only 146.2 SPL in a competition. Less wattage than this, but this is only one 12". Mind blown. I just need 4 of these and a steering wheel. LMAO!

Ohh hell yeah, this video has been long long awaited I'm stoked!

They were using max watts back in the 80s when I was running Pyle Driver subs… but we knew to always look at RMS values

Wow. You are doing so good with looking at the lens and not the monitor screen on the camera. Can't wait until it its flawless and we (probably only me) feel like you're talking directly to us. Great work!!

No doubt, my DB3515'S have a 3.5in coil and roughly the same power rating now I do know that my coils were Japanese made and they're insane can handle 25k burps all day long without breaking a sweat! I wonder if these AB 3.5in coils are the same or if they're manufactured by someone else... Mine is a black flat wound 3.5in but it's like a flat black chalky color not like my 4in PE coils in my wolfram PT-18's that have the shiny black hi-temp coating good for up to 600deg Fahrenheit

This is my third time watching this video. You look happier than a clam while blasting that thing.

These channels should really know that the best way to record subs is with a small sealed subwoofer used as a microphone. With appropriate frequency correction and impedance matching this will accurately record the loudest of subs at the lowest of frequencies, with None of the usual massive distortion found in basically every subwoofer demo video ever made, which somewhat defeats the point of making it. Add a small dome midrange and you get a 'microphone' capable of accurately recording the loudest of sounds like gunshots/jet engines/etc. I figured this out 25 years ago when a friend couldn't record his kick-drum without blowing out his microphone, and building him a mini 'subwoofer-microphone' out of a 5 inch woofer with a tin can enclosure placed inside the drum solved that problem; he was absolutely stoked with it!

I assisted with installing 4 American Bass XMaxxx Monster 15s 2 weeks ago, monster subs but if you don't have the right amp or order the wrong DVC type then ya need to wire them up to 2 ohms or to .25

That deff looks like way more then a 20mm throw one way. Atleast 30ish. I swear those specs they get from the build house or company doesn't really think about the break in period that plays a huge role in how the xmax changes because the spider has been given time to stretch her legs 🕷️ that thing gets down!!!

For the algorithm. That enclosure looks awesome.

Calculate the Xmax by subtracting the thickness of the top plate from the height of the voice coil winding and divide it by two. That describes how far the cone can move forward while keeping the voice coil inside the magnetic gap. A sub can go FAR beyond xmax but motor force and cone control will be significantly reduced until you reach xmech, or the mechanical limits of the driver. an example of a sub exceeding xmax but not yet reaching xmech is at 14:20. right before the tone stops, you horrible sound is the sub losing control of the cone. you hear it again at 14:36 and a very light touch of xmech. you hear the same thing at 14:50. a blatant example of xmech the clacking sound you hear at 15:02. thats the former beating itself to death as the sub has reached xmech. the sub doesnt pick up any more output because youve exceeded its power handling and excursion capabilities. this sub has a stupidly high moving mass and in turn, also has high qms (mechanical dampening). that is how they got the Fs to 31hz. the qes shows that motor force (BL) is easily able to overcome the internal resistance of the sub. this is a good thing. this sub has a pretty low VAS rating due to how stiff it is but that also means itll need to be a smaller ported box to really get anything out of it. the overall design of this sub is really to play in a narrow band around its Fs in a smallish box and not much else. its not musical at all, although with the right box just about anything is possible.

That’s awesome, I think that sub would easily surpass 145 with a properly set up enclosure

i love how you keep going back to that 8k like you know its fixing to blow

I like watching Parker cheesin from ear to ear when hes jamming.

Parker, can you get any DD Audio subwoofers? I would love to see those put to the test!

YES SIR BRO! AMERICAN BASS FTW!!!

I want to apologize. I have been asking for the XMAXXX REVIEW for awhile now. And I had missed the video until now. Thanks for finally approving my request!

First and for most I need to borrow it for a few days to get an accurate gauge of this SPEAKERS' true performance because I'm under the impression you may inflate your video's a little bit lol😂😂 only because of the faces you make when the bass drops 🤣🤣Love your videos, Parker!!! American Bass for the WIN!!!

This is an absolute monster🔥it take the 3000rms easily it can take way more than that very awesome sub

Got that fire extinguisher 🧯

Back in the day I had a friend named Scott ( had a Nissan truck with 15” ) would love this

I would be the happiest man on earth with a sound like that

I wish those subwoofers came in the 18s. I would of got one.

They can do whatever they want because we know American bass standards are great

I think I found my next sub to put in my 2018 Jetta💪💯💪💯

Been waiting for a video like this with this sub for like a year and change

Been waitin for this your the first to do a video on it

142 with one sub not bad.. i had 3 jl audio 10w6's long time ago in bandpass box that got 144 db

ok, so just understand that American bass xmaxx monster is a purely Db sub so max is more important because it's built to burp at 6k not run full tilt for days at it. the Xmax is rated differently then what you think. Xmax is just that what the sub is built to do mech Xmax is just that what the parts can do.

this the type of sub my car needs

I will say I enjoy the videos a lot and it’s def good info u put out and the tests u do w the numbers on paper and real life scenario makes it worth watch…I will say in my obs extended cab Chevy I have a single 10 that acts this way and slams like this …form the 90s ….u heard me right! But I will keep some secrets I will say it actually rattles my tail gate!

Awesome review brother you were thorough as hell💪💪 think you can do a resilient sounds platinum in the near future?

I’ve been waiting on this video Parker! I will be upgrading from my HD’s to these!

Man that thing is wicked! I have always loved American Bass.

That surround being a true mega roll is taking away atleast one inch of xmax

You know, music isn't just bass. Ever been to a live music concert, or a smaller venue? You should try it sometime, it's enlightening.

$519 is not to bad. Its within the rest of the market for the type of sub it is. The skar zxv line and of the sundown's are on par. Not what I would buy but to each their own. I honestly think you can get similar result using less power with Skars EVL line in the factory box. Same price but comes already in a nice box. Skars SDR line is junk. Been beating the crap out a few sets of evls and they are still fine. Even the Kicker L7 Solos are junk now. Skars not gonna be cheap for much longer. I highly recommend the EVL line. Best bang for buck and hard to kill if you dont push them too far past 1000 watts. The SDR will die at 600 in a day. What do you think?

So, my question is since you pulled out the Sundown Zv6 how do you compare the two? The Zv6 has a larger motor but is rated at 2500 watts, the Xmaxxx is rated at 3000 watts. Which one hits harder and which has better sound quality?

You can tell swing my door by Gucci was slappin! 🔊 💨

I can tell you off the top that American bass woofers require bigger boxes. When I get an SUV I will run either four twelves or fifteens.

Hey Parker do a soundstream x5 12 see if it handles power I'm curious to see its a good budget sub rated 3500 rms..i wonder if it's better than the Brickhouse

Whatever it takes. 😁 one of my favorite tracks tor testing SQ. It's got great bass notes.

Before even watching, I just feel compelled to say I FREAKIN LOVE YOU! 😂😂😂

With loudspeakers it really depends on the program material and the ambient conditions. AES power ratings are a reference point.

I had a buddy that had house speakers that had a pole piece that ran down the center of the subs..pretty cool..a sub is just a motor..nice surround on that sub..could keep going lol

Parker, I would like to see a Savard HO review. I can't belive the Xmax is so low for the American Bass, the Savard HO is 37mm one way, almost twice as much. Am I missing something.

Dude you came a LONG way in this hobby in a short few years! Congratulations on your success! I hope your KZfaq checks are fat

Great video as always Parker!! I am really interested in emf audios subs and would LOVE for you to review them next!!!

at 16:57 , reminds me of myself drunk with my ear into a loudspeaker in some disco playing way to loud. Having tinntus (piiping sound) in my ears for ever from that day. There are no pre-warnings here, either you're good or you're screwd for life. I can never hear silence again. It is a freakin bommer.

Wow Bob still making car audio at American Bass 🔊 😳

What’s up Parker Mo Betta here. Man that American Bass is pretty bad ass. Good review man, thanks bro. Keep up the good work.

OH YEAH, definitely rockin this in a contest maybe 6 of them

about damn time parker lol. great review parker

20mm xmax is insane 😱😱😱

I've never tried it but does a inverted subwoofer even work? I thought the box design will not work when subwoofer is inverted

Gotta love American bass

Badass!! Great video as always!

Nice vid. Playing a sample of diff songs is a great decision so I can hear the range! Have you done a Orion HCCA 12 vid yet? I’m scrolling your vids trying to find it if it’s here!

Awesome job I have 2 Sundown SA 12s in my Sequoia.

Finally a long detailed review. I think it's a good sub. I definitely have a few suggestions for Subs for you to review. Adire Audio KHA2501 Em audio PSI crossfire xt3

I'm glad I chose the Xv3's cuz this was deff a contender, but I've had american bass subs before and haven't heard the best about these long term 🤷‍♂️

I had a sequoia and miss it, I had good subs and man toyota makes such good quality stuff the mirrors and stuff don't really even move

Wouldn't that thing shake the welds apart in your vehicle? It's crazy. Kinda new to the channel, but I was just surfing the web and came across "DD Audio" - a car audio company that makes their high end subs here in the U.S. They have a Power series line of subwoofers that goes up to 21 inches!. The 9900 series being at the top, nicknamed "The Beast" is off the chart. The sub driver alone weighs in at 90 Pounds! 90 pounds is crazy! They are certainly not cheap as the 9900 series start at $1,000 and go up from there (just the sub driver, no enclosure) I think they can handle up to 10,000 watts, but not sure (who makes an amp that powerful? Down4Sound maybe)?.. Just thought I'd pass it along, but have a feeling all you bassheads might already be familiar with DD Audio. But just in case...

Of course by inverting you are giving more airspace inside the box. All things need to be considered. I would have cut the opening on up some and put it in regular. Would look awesome with that window to see inside.

nice sub but at the price point I'll keep my sundown x v2s. hard every day sub to beat. Quality looks a little better to but if I ran across a used set of these I'd definitely try them ..

I agree with you on not putting max power on amps but subs I think it's ok, for instance my zvxv2 18s are rated at 1600 RMS and 3200 max, but I have 9k Wolfram on 2 18s at 1 ohm on a daily, had set up for a few years, have not blown them

Been waiting for this video

That sub sounded really good and I’m playing it on a 2016 big blue party Bluetooth speaker. I can’t imagine how it sounds in person. Too bad my alternator only can keep up with no more than 1500 watts. Nobody makes a better alternator for a 2015 Buick Verano.

that vibrates cool

I been thinking about these for real. As always good video bro !

New drinking game: Take a shot, or drink whenever he says guys..

Please review the trinity audio TAS-M12! Seems like a great sub for the money but it is a new drop and doesn't have any reviews so I'm a little skeptical!

Great vid. Except for who taught you that voice coil size impacts SQ? That would be completely false. Source: Everywhere, many of the best sounding drivers on earth have a large voice coil for their size of driver. Tweeters, dome mids, midrange, midwoofers, woofers, and subwoofers…. It doesn’t matter.

Hey please respond to this! I also have a 1st gen sequoia only trying to run two sundown audio micro amps about 1,200w total and even with big 3 upgrade I’m struggling to generate enough amps to feed them. What have you done on your sequoia power supply setup?

Aside from a lot less xmax, this seems to be fairly close to my Audiopulse Axis quad 1 ohm voice coil 12" sub.. think i paid like $550 or so on sale from parts express like 13 years ago!!

One ohm subs are where it’s at ! they don’t blow as easy!

Songs u played at 10:00 and 10:10 made me sub those are my favorite bass songs

Earthquake maker, I felt that bass in europe 😲

Do you have any type of sound deadening material in your car ?
