Recone and you'll love it. Just an honest oops. 3500 watts clean power and you'll never have a problem. They're not Super Saiyan subs they're just high motor Force drivers but they still need to be used correctly. Great video and accountability. You didn't even blame sundown and it very much could have been quality control as well. A lot of people are going to chime in to your videos and your respect will grow because of how candid you are.

So many factors and variables about a subwoofer blowing. 90% of the time it's user error. Manufacture defects absolutely happen. But I build for a living and I've never blown a z-sub and I personally run zv5 drivers. Personally put 20,000 clamped to 4 18s. Never a blown sub.

Likely the fact that the coil heated up too rapidly and expanded being that flat wire coils have to go through a heating/ cooling process during break in. If it's not done or not done properly the flat wires (being so close to each other) won't let the coils glue offgass properly and will trap gasses between the layers causing the wire layers to bulge outward or inwards. Round wire coils don't do this as often as they have more gap between the wires allowing for gasses to escape a bit easier.. Some companies perform the off gassing heating/ cooling process in steps at the factory to the coils themselves before assembly of the whole sub, I'm not sure if Sundown does this to their subs to prevent coil failure but I know a few companies that do. Not a Sundown fan myself but still a bummer to see subs go bad

Parker, I had talked to the Audio apex guys at one of the shows and they told me that they could arrange an appointment for me to bring my subs in to their shop in Nc where they would recone it while I hung around out in town. They said that would cost (approx. $100 a piece) I know you don't live to far off from there so it could be an option. It would make an awesome video to if they let you film some.

Why does everybody think JP (the owner of D4S) own sundown. 🤣🤦‍♂️ Jacob Fuller owns sundown. Where he bought the sub has nothing to do with how his outcome would of been. Sundown builds this sub in house, then put to a test to make sure the sub has no weird noises. Then is boxed up and shipped out to disrupters such as D4S & audio apex. Audio apex only builds refurbished subs. But, you can get ahold of audio apex and they will hook you up for a recone for it, as they share the same warehouse as sundown. Since he put 8k watts on it, I highly doubt sundown will warranty it.

8 Layer Coil Typically Expand And Contract More During Heat Cycles Since There Are More Layers Ontop Of Each Other. If It Expands Too Fast / Heats Up Too Fast It Has A Slight Chance Of Unwinding. I Think That May Have Been A Defect Becasue You Would Have Smelt It First. I've Been Basing On Some 8 Layer Coil Subs For Over A Year And They Start To Stink Every Time I'm Getting The Coil Temps Too High.

And no you can't compare the zv6 12 and the db3012 as I can almost buy 2 db3012 for the price of a zv6. Just the honest truth that that is not a 900 dollar sub price to performance wise. I had a zv5 15 on around 3k clamped that I didn't get 8 months out of it. The xv2 is a better sub than the zv5 performance and efficiency wise and that came from people who ran real world t\s specs after break in on every sub sundown had at the time. But they needed a little more power handling so they didn't go without sundown, they had 2 massive audio hippo 15s with custom cone and coil and were doing a 160 with 2 15s on under 3 20k in a huge folded horn paraflex enclosure from 28hz to like 70hz. They're good subs but sundown definitely charges far too much for the most reconed subs every year. When I started seeing post after post about their extremely overpriced salt series amps blowing up and the trash quality sfb amps that 1 out of 5 last more then a week I knew I would nev run sundown again. My soundqubed hdc3.1 15 is over 5 years old and still going in a friend's car and I abused it 10 times as bad in the 4 years I ran it. I learned sundown is just a name. I call them subdown because I constantly see people having to recone them. And please don't think I like skar, I wouldn't run anything from skar even if it was free.

Bummer. Excited to see you test the big boy subs. Don't get me wrong, I like the budget subs also. I'm running DC Elite XL'S in my jeep and for now a JLW6V3 in my daily. But I'm thinking of getting something that slams a little harder for the daily (I have a JP23 amp just sitting around) I was kinda looking at the Sundown Xv3. Only cause Sundowns are on sale. Heck I might get some bigger subs for the jeep and put the Elite's in the daily. If I go that route I'll have to get some more lithium and a 20k or so also for the jeep. I have enough electrical in the daily for my 6k I'm already using in the jeep. Decisions, decisions lol. Also considering Deaf Bonce, but I really like DC. Tell you what though if I was Jacob I would send you a new Zv6. Love what you are doing, keep it up.

@@MannuhFestIt deaf bonce, DC audio and many other companies that if they charge 900 bucks for a sub it'll last more than a year. The most reconed sub on my 3k plus friends list has been the zv5 series. I owned a zv5 and didn't get 8 months out of it on around 3k clamped. Taught me a great lesson though, sundown is just a name. I'm running a black brick heavy hitter budget sub right now and so far price to performance wise it blows my zv5 out the water. But my soundqubed hdc3.1 that's 5 years old and still going outperformed my zv5 just by lasting 4 years when I paid 50 bucks for it brand new because of all the ones getting reconed back then. Traded a kicker cvx for that soundqubed hdc3.1. If soundqubed ever gets stock again I'd get an hdx4.1 for sure

Sundown needs to send you a new ZV6. Thats nonsense. Its $1000 sub. It should take that power if your Xv2 and Xv3 took it. I see it as thier error. You gotta at least try to get a recone for free or something here man. You are a good customer and you buy a lot of expensive subs from them. I bet JP would help you out. Especially since you rep them pretty hard on the internet. Use some of that KZfaq clout you built up and get them to replace it.

Yeah for sure! I'm supposed to be picking up a lightly used level 4 DC Audio 12" in a nice custom box for like $160'ish bucks. I don't know too much about this brand but it looks like it's a well built sub and the box looks great compared to anything prefab that's for sure! Figuring this should be a great start to the new system I'll be putting together in this first generation Grand Cherokee I just got! Hopefully this level 4 is decent, especially compared to the Audiopulse Axis quad 1 ohm voice coil 12 in sub I have been running for year's now, and it's been a beast that's taken hour plus commutes to and from work cranking the entire drive!

But thanks, I figure for the price the custom box with what sounds like a decent sub will be a good start for this latest system I'm gonna put together! I forget what Big D got from this Orion xtr 2500, bit it puts out more than rated, and was running it at .8 ohms for the last year with my baby, an old Audiopulse Axis quad 1 ohm voice coil 12 in sub along with a TC Sounds 15" Tropo and it was really a hard hitting, great sounding system for every type of music I listened to. If I'm lucky enough to get the Audiopulse Axis 12" sub back from my buddy I sold the Xterra to with most of the system I'd definitely be building a quality custom box for, cause that was in a crappy prefab though the 15" Tropo is in a nice low tuned box that really sounded great.

Parker really needs to step up to 4 inch coil subs with the power he has available and a box with more port area to test huge subs like this. I do definitely understand that 4 inch coil subs are expensive though, and not everyone has multiple 8k amps and lithium to run their system. That King City Customs box is a nice box, but its meant for smaller subs like the XFL and subs in the 1000-1500 watt range with less excursion. When you move up to the Xv3 and ZV6 class of subs with crazy excursion, it starts to call for a different box with more port area and different specs. Parker needs more than just that one box so he can better match the kind of sub he's testing to the box he's using. I don't know if he still has that other 2.7 cube box with the aero port or not, but he should think about building a couple different boxes for testing these different subs with different box requirements. The one he has is a good mid range sub box, but boxes aren't a one size fits all thing as we all know.

I’ve seen zv5 clamping 7000 a sub with no problem. I think you got a factory defect. I bought 12 DB 3512 R. One sub dropped a coil for no reason. Clamping about 4K a sub. Unclipped. And the sub had well over 50 hours on it being demoed at shows. Never an issue. Then one day for seemingly no reason 1 coil came unwound. Actual pieces of coil in the bottom of my box. One coil measured .9. Other measured .2. Wasn’t a heat issue. Happened when sub was cold at maybe 60% volume. I have a feeling sundown will send you a new sub. Their customer service is typically pretty good and I certainly can’t see where you abused it. Good luck

And a zv6 is suppose to be a step up. I had 3 zv4 15’s prolly 3 years ago with 7900.1 wired at .8 on each sub. I was putting 6000 watts a sub. Beat the hell out them constantly. Never had a problem or failure. Do you really think a 91lb sub with that much motor force can’t handle more than 2500 watts? Drives me crazy when people get on here and know nothing but a manufacturers spec. Go to 20-30 shows a year for 23 years. Work on car audio almost daily for 26 years.

Shall I get an Xv2D2 sub and wire it down to 1 Ohm or can I get away with geting an Xv3D1 and wire it down to 0.5 Ohm without frying the amp? I'm willing to take the chance, I wont blame you if it fries, but if you say it will fail 100% then I wouldn't try. I just want to enjoy one beast like this and I think that if I wire it to 1 Ohm the MD 1800.1 won't provide enough power for it after impedance rise.
