Thanks man, they're really nice!

Do you know why it was squealing like that tho? Still works fine🤷‍♂️ but I'm kinda sick the Xv3's went on sale right after I bought them lol, but I'm very happy w em. Gonna build a 4th order soon. Thanks for stopping in buddy!

Guy that does bare vids channel said it was the transformer is just a lil loose.🤷‍♂️ he said it'd be fine, but I could glue it down some more. But it's just sitting in a box in my basement so I haven't messed w it.

Love the positivity! 👏👏👏

Oh yeah man they're gorgeous! I can't wait to get them in and put some real power to em. Sucks the biggest I can go is 12s tho. But if I place them right, I may beable to build a 4th order box in my trunk that will fit 3. So may have another one coming in my future.

@@1ohmwrecker haven't got my enclosure built yet, but it's getting started this week. I'm only going to be running a pair of T2500.1bdcp's, one to each X. Hoping they'll do good enough. Not trying to buy amps again lol

@@1ohmwrecker I always hear that the X's do awesome in 4th's too, luckily I have a little room in my Tahoe. It's just a little no-wall though.

@@miiiikee_ hey, I actually got love for the no walls! Anyone can build a wall and be loud w speakers right behind your head, ya know? I'm just gonna build a 4th order in my trunk w the port coming out of my ski shoot.

@@1ohmwrecker ahhh man a ski shoot port would be dope. and yeah keeping it a no wall build. it's one of my daily's and I like seeing out of all the windows when I drive lol

They're almost 11 inches deep I'm pretty sure? I measured when I first got them but I forgot. When I take em back out ill look. But they're 70lbs each so I try not to lol.

Yep yep👍

I actually saw that on the car audio bargain site. I almost wanna blow em just to beef em up🤣

Thanks mane!

The tax sale started right after I bought them too lol. But, I'm not struggling so I'm not pressed bout it🤷‍♂️

Yeah they were built nice. One of them has pitting in the aluminum casting in couple places. Yes there's clamp rings around the spider and the surround. No USA sticker tho.🤷‍♂️ and no decals in the boxes.

Subs don't matter so much, it's the power. And wiring, alternator, and amplifier power all come into effect. Two yellow tops with good wiring and stock electrical will support 2500-3000 watts tops.

I just ordered a 320 amp alt from auto tech lol. I wish I could fit 15's, but its just impossible in my lil mercedes 🤷‍♂️

How's that amp doing with those? Is it enough? I got one x15v3 on a smart 3 now pounding good, I ordered another and a smart 5 bass

I love love love them! I've got many videos on here of em gettin down. I got a taramps smart 5k on em. But gonna go to an 8k.

Definitely! It plays the lows I like to hear. They're expensive kinda, but perform every time I want em to.

Be quiet please ain’t nobody trying to do 10s except you!

I got dual 1 ohm subs. And if I buy another smart bass 5k I could wire 1 to each Amp at half ohm😳 just a thought. But I'm probably just gonna buy a Korean 8k here by slamology.🤷‍♂️

@Scott Wright🔊 Does Korean amplifiers suck a lot of current compared to taramps the reason I like taramps is the clip indicator is very sensitive you won't burn your subwoofers up when those Korean amplifiers start to clip your coils are smelling the majority of the time that's the only way they produce a lot of power I would go with a incriminate amplifier? They don't take up a lot of room like the sundowns salt series I have two jp23 amplifiers but they are not strong enough for the sundown xv3 12s try the jp63 or orion 5500 that should be plenty of power

@Cecil Jones I'm not sure about power differences? It all socks up Hella power lol. Do you got your amps strapped at .5 ohm or just 1 ohm each?

@Cecil Jones and them incriminator ones are hella expensive tho. I was thinking jp83, but I hate the green lol. Or a Surge Audio 10k if u know bout that? Maybe the deaf bounce aak 8k or whatever they're called? Maybe a salt 8k? But I'm still contemplating. The cheapest option would be another Amp like I got at .5 ohm each? The amps stable for it. And they're only like $600 lol. But, I wanna go Korean. Just kinda bored w it. I love tramps tho! They even follow me on tiktok lol. I like the support from the companiesi buy from, ya know? They told me they're coming out with a smart 8k here soon too which is dope!

@Scott Wright🔊 I'm running my bass 8k at 2ohms right now I just bought a 2021 kia soul I had two fi hc 15s and was running them at a half ohm and it was too much for that car I didn't want to tear anything up so I have the sundowns at 2ohms and it is still terrible

Taramps 8k after rise is really only a 5k anyhow🤷‍♂️

@@1ohmwrecker yeah but what’s great is if full bridged it offers much more at 2 ohms because of the rise than will a half ohm amp will

@@bh_rob5532 I've got a smart bass 5k that is .5 ohm stable running them. They're about maxed out. I'm not tryna push em to absolute limits. I talked to the guy that does the facekicker dyno videos and asked him if I should get smart 5k or bass 8k and he's the one that told me I'd get most out of the smart bass 5k. So that's what I went with. Figured I'd listen to the guys that dyno thousands of amps🤷‍♂️

@@bh_rob5532 not all full bridge give the most at 2 ohm anyways? Only the smart taramps, JL Audio slash series, etc. At 2 ohm on a bass 8k you're only gonna get 5k tops. But if you wire to .5 ohm or 1 ohm on the smart 5k, you rise into the 2 ohm area, you'll still see the 5k+ and more stable.

@@1ohmwrecker yeah I’ve seen an 8k do over 6k with the impedance, but hey to each it’s own, I’m not a fan of the full bridge anyway, running my single zv6 12 off a salt 4, half bridge all the way for me

Sure, I don't mind at all.👍

Fr🤣

Yeah I know. I was just testing and not thinking.

what do you do with the other rca lead??

@@bdc211 I usually connect both in the radio/LOC and put shrink wrap over the other end n let it chill. Just incase the rca starts going out for some crazy reason, you can just use the shrunk wrapped one and not have to tear stuff apart again to connect it. That's what I do.🤷‍♂️

@@1ohmwrecker i was just looking at a two to one, but seems thats for splitting one to two, and not merging 2 to 1.. i wonder if using one backwards would mess with input voltage.. i have questions now lol.. i just bought a smart3bass....

It'll play them, but they don't peak between 40-60hz like most subs. They just favor lows, which I prefer personally.

@@1ohmwrecker I prefer lows too. 20’s 30’s thanks

@@mobettaspice then you'll love these! But expensive 🤷‍♂️ I gotta show how much air they move. Insane!

@@1ohmwrecker I’ll be waiting for that video. Thanks.

I have my xv3 12's in 4.4cu box tuned at 33hz, they hit best from 33-42hz, peak is 36hz on my setup

Sorry you've had that experience

Yeah, if they ever blow I'm deff upgrading to that blue spider drop in. But I've had no problems out of the 1.5yrs I've had em.🤷‍♂️
