Why 4 ohm? Especially if it’s dual 4ohm, wired it to 1 ohm.. you’ll get all the power.

@@MacThaGoat SO 4ohm is better than 2ohm

@@larsonfrederick7885 Noo, depending how your amp works. I got a hifonics Brutus. It depends on the sub you get too. With my amp at 1ohm I get all 2400w of the amp. I had to wire mine down to 2ohm due to the subs I got. So I’m only getting 1600w at 2ohm. At 4 I’ll be getting even lower power.. so like I said depending on amp an subs you got. Got to make sure you get everything so it works together well.. I never run 4ohm, that’s to low of power for me. I either wire mine to 1 or 2 ohm.

What makes you think audio pipe is 🔝🎩 🐶 doggy..Dog

The only problem is have with them is that they are tuned so high on their larger subs

Theyre alright. I have the dual 12 enclosure, and the carpet is coming from the side under the right sub. Other than that its a nice box. Heavy than a MFr!

I bought a sdr 15 in a box for 150$ new and then build a box and still couldn’t get the sound quality of the scar box

Quality boxes are bit made of 5/8” mdf.. they are made of 1” face and 3/4” back and sides.. I will give them credit for making a decent box properly tuned and sized for the loaded sub packages they offer.. that is a lot more then many other companies can claim.. but quality they are not For those that are bit wood workers why this matters.. you can’t screw 5/8” mdf.. first of all screwing even 3/4” is not easy.. it will split very easy even when predrilled.. at 5/8” you can do nothing more then glue and use some 15g finish nails or some staples.. rip the carpet off one and if they used staples over cheaper finish nails I’d give them some credit there.. but fit the price you can’t hate them.. For the record a quality box.. with 1” face and 3/4” everything else will be dado Grover in at all joints.. glue alone is all you need cause the type of joints used.. this is 10x the time to do and why two boxes that look the same.. one costs $200 the other $600. Trust me the quality box will be handed down for generations. Skar boxes as hard as their subs hit will not stand the test if time.. they will slowly over hard use start to separate and leak air.. you wouldn’t even notice this most of the time especially in a covered box.. The single best thing you could do for them is remove the sub and use some cheap fiberglass or epoxy mix and coat the entire inside of them.. it will help with the lower build market also to last longer while not overly effecting the interior air space.. In theory all mdf boxes should be corner braces to ensure proper screw usage off the edges where mdf is weak. But this would make all boxes a little larger and companies too lazy to do this. They would rather sell you garbage materials in the smallest size and price possible then built it properly and charge another $30. You can make a 5/8” box good with bracing.. the issue is still a 5/8” front face will have deflection so you’re actually losing some power do to the box face flexing dampening the speaker.. So if you hitting 144 with 2 evl in the skar box and amp package.. (like many are) imagine what you would hit if the box wasn’t robbing you of output.. prob enough to place in a local spl comp with just $800 sub amp and wire combo package with big three upgrade added.. this is why people say box build is everything for sq and spl.. But like I said.. for a preloaded package it’s about the best out there maybe second to only jl’s offerings.. they tuned and sized the box specifically to the two speakers they offer in the boxes. That is a lot more then almost anyone else does.. kicked solo packages being the only other exclusion of the top of my head.. funny fact.. the skar boxes although most are sold with the side’s they are actually tuned to the evl’s lol.. they close though.. another fun fact.. given the specs.. although they both hit in these boxes.. the evl would do better sealed then ported.. it’s a .67 range speaker .. so it can work ok in porter it’s not ideal.. it the sdr is like a .58 it’s a sealed k my all day speaker yet they don’t even offer a sealed box.. and the soecs for sealed on the evl says 1.75? It should be like 1.25 similar to the sdr if you do the math based on the specifications sheet.. 🤷‍♂️ Honestly idk why they don’t offer sealed packages. For the size you could run 3 10’s in about the same total box size.. they could be selling one extra speaker for every package they sell for almost zero manufacturing costs.. they need some better in-house people who are a little better at math.. cause 3 10’s going to hit harder then 2 12’s and sound 10x better sealed.. they could do the same with 12’s as well but as they don’t offer a dual 15 setup profit to be made would be little less on paper.. plus 3 12’s won’t fit well in between the wheel wells of most cars with out a very angular box design which would make for some much deeper boxes then most would like seeing how 1/3 of cars already can’t fit the higher under the rear deck.. but they could get damn creative with some 8’s and 10’s

Exactly. Idk why people buy svs subs when you can just throw some car subs in a box and get plenty of bass while maintaining SQ

How do you wire a sub to surround sound i have a Samsung surround sound in my room and a 12” L7 i want to use , i also just got these and a qbomb box for my car all cabin😂

Do you have any details on the build. plan on using 2x sdr15 in 6^3ft enclosures each tuned to 18 hz. currently debating on which amp I want to use.

@@madebymc9224 this is the amp I use Behringer NX3000D and I have it just under half way turned up and it's plenty so for even for sdr 2 15 will have enough power. I picked it up @ Amazon.

@@xtrmbrazen6153 are you using sealed or vented enclosure. What are the specs on the enclosure?

I agree..the EVL is a highly inefficient subwoofer, smaller motor, and less motor force then a DDX. And the 3" coil in that EVL isn't needed. The ddx is a great daily subwoofer.

@@Chuck_Sanders Would a 15 inch ddx be good on a RP 1200 @ 1 ohm? i know those ddx’s can take a lot more power than 1k i’ve seen them run on 1500-2k. I know that the ddx is also more relevant in regards to sound quality than their other subs… so would it sound good in a sealed box?

@@risketti7295 yes, it really would perform well. If your going to use a sealed box, I would recommend going about a half a cube, bigger then recommended, even up to 1 cube bigger. The ddx series is a great subwoofer, and many don't know it, but Jacob Fuller, actually designed that driver for Kevin. I don't think you'll be disappointed at all.

The DDX is better made than the other models. The EVL needs lotsa powa, and a huge ported to go beast mode.

how about american bass

@@blownvoicecoil124 American Bass and soundqubed are also great budget subs!

Thanks man! I have a trickle charger and they are all charged up and ready to go!

Nice bro, what infinity amp to be exact?

@@role1694 Infinity REF4555A

I did the opposite in my youth. I bought a bunch of different subs but sold em off when I'd buy new ones. Now I really miss them. Had some awesome stuff. Now just memories because you can't find them any more.

Thanks man I really appreciate you! Maybe I’ll do drivebys at some point when I have more room

I think drive by's are a great idea. Usually the best gauge for how loud a sub online is, is from hearing it from outside the vehicle. That'd bring another dimension to it.

Drive-by's are a good idea, or even just walking away from the car and doing a walk around.

I wouldnt call it pre fab. Closer to custom built for the sub

Exactly

These boxes are made of very hard paper not wood. It has 18 gauge wire rain to terminals not big enough for a Beefy sub. Great looking and sounding box I have one. It needed more cotton inside. I drilled holes in mine for bigger gauge wire rain straight to amp.. kind of a waste to use such small wire Skar you know we need big wire so do us all a favor and hook it up with big wire. Hey, Parker witch amp do u like better? your new Audiopipe or the Skar amp you had ?

@@ckk689 👍 sweetness !

what would you recomend, two of these or an audiopipe TSPP312D4 and save a little money ($64 cheaper for 2), i am running an audiopipe apmi 1300 and its been great, but the shitty subs that i have give me no piece of mind (and theyre mismatched) because they are rated for 300 each. any advice would be great, though i think im going with the audiopipe because of the price and the knowledge that they are also a good brand.

What box is perfect for a 12 hiq savard?

@@paquesepas6696 ported box around 1.9 cubic feet. If you want to run above rms make it 1.7 cubes.if you want to run below rms ratings go 2.3. Tune it to 35hz . They recommend a 6 inch round port about 28 inches long. Parts express has a port calculator if you want to go slot port . Savard also has the best customer support on free enclosure design when u purchase a product. I would just buy from them directly so you can tell them what you want to do and what kind of space you are working with. They know a lot better than I do lol.

Thank you!!

Yeah hopefully they send me the replacement soon!

How did it hold up over the years

@@jamesjones4309 Ehh lol...I would go with something like the svr at least. Sdr is good if you stay close to rms rating. There are better options these days for not much more money

Yeah man! Should be lots of good content coming out soon

I am a month in and have been pushing it pretty hard. All my friends have been very impressed as well. Doing the big 3 this week to try and help out my corollas electrical system.

@@Chris_G_541 what year corolla do you have? i heard my 2020 has a 200 amp alternator which is quite big . might not need big 3. i also have 800.1 have you checked the voltage drop?

I have a 2002.I had to switch to kicker subwoofers at 2ohm.

If I took the amp up to just before clipping I would drop to 10volts.

From what I heard skar is budget sundown

Ikon I bought two skar ix-10s each rated at 200 watts, and I put them through give or take 500 watts to the pair all day and they handle it, they definitely make my car shake. I highly recommend them.

For the price, they are really good

I just got 2 12's waiting for them to come in. Hoping for good things

@@codythepriceman1932 how are they? Im thinking about getting 2 sdr 12s

Yeah I’ve been very impressed with it

Think the EVL would push just fine with the RP800.1D amp? I’ve burnt up two of these SDRs.

What rms are you running to your evls? 12s, 15s?

Silvereagle90000 I have 3 15’s on a md5k atm but plan on upgrading soon

@@tidobass6048 That must bump. Upgrade your electrical?

@@tidobass6048 How'd the E6000 work? I plan on repairing some Kicker l5's with it

The people who say "skarbage" are the same people who drop $900 on a single 12" sub when they could literally buy NINE Skar sdr 12s instead.

I was thinking about the same thing! 2x 12" SDR on the 1200 rms amp or the 1x 12" ZVX on 1500 rms amp.

Nice! Im going for their 2 sdr 12s in their prefab box tuned to 32 hertz. Do you think it will be a good invest?

paul wenzel yes they handle the lows nicely and still take 1800 rms each easily from my taramp 3k

Probley cause the sub is not loud enof to destort the mic

@@Jay-uw9qr It def is lol

Did you try it in a sealed box ?

@@CaliLifeStyle8o5 - No, I haven't. I'm quite experienced in car audio, home audio, ran sound for a local band for years, etc. I've been doing my own installs since I was 16 or so. I'm in my mid 50's. I have no regrets going with the SKAR vented armored box. I've never been a fan of ports/vents, but this just sounds better each week as it breaks-in all the way. No slappy--echoey sound at all, very solid. I would be quite confident this would sound just as fantastic in a sealed box, too, just make sure your box is quality-built and has the right internal dimensions.

@@PureBlood42 ok thanks. I want more of a sq than spl so I wanted to know how they will sound in a sealed box.

@@rmblwgn oh lol haha, okay I see now , because I bought the same box and thought the wiring from factory was bad was what you were trying to say

My thoughts too

Me too

any update? how did you set up your amp?

This sub doesn't need "egg roll" surround though because it's only 600WRMS, so it's not gonna have very much excursion in the first place. Look at sundown's U-series subs. They have more excursion than this sdr 12, but SMALLER surround. It's just not necessary unless you need crazy excursion.

I plan to soon!

Yeah please do I have 2 in my closet I'm installing in my Trans Am I have 2 SKV-2 1500.1s gonna run them strapped but I'm not installing until warmer weather

I send it back so hopefully they will be sending me the replacement soon!

I hope so!

I was thinking that cuz I own 2

In my opinion with brand new subs stinking is never ok. Sub was just getting too hot.

@@paquesepas6696 sub was also not broke in so of course it's going to get hot and stink

Johnny 24 Most drivers especially woofers/subwoofers will give off an odor. It’s just like the OP said, the resin is just burning off of it. It doesn’t hurt the sub as long as you’re not abusing the ever living shit out of it in its first initial hours.
