Loved the review, Parker. I knew you would like the XR. I paid $140 each for mine a while back, and they do really well on my Orion Xtr 2500.1. They really are great sounding subs, and they can handle tons of power and still get loud too. It's a great mix of SQ and SPL. 143 db isn't bad at all for a single 12. Really enjoyed this one. Thanks for reviewing this subwoofer. This sub is a hidden gem for sure.

Close to 3500 RMS @ 1 ohm if you can keep the voltage up) and they are loud and sound GREAT doing it. For the money, it's gonna be tough to find a better sounding sub than these. They could probably even take a little more power and still be perfectly fine. I wouldn't hesitate to throw them on a nice 3500 or even a 4500. Strap two Wolfram C2400's or two Soundqubed S1-2250's together and you will have great power for a pair of these XR's.

Seemed with you American Bass XFL12 you compared to a lot of other brand subs, I was already back in the game. With a factory 2016 Nissan Frontier head unit with a budget line output converter, stock electrical system, with 1.0 wire, 2.5 cap, an Audiopipe APMI 2000.1 on my Kicker 06CVX154 wired down to 2 Ohm. I decided to upgrade and buy an American Bass HD15D2. Sadly to say the American Bass HD15D2 wired down to 1 Ohm. Did NOT last even a week. I was very disappointed in the American Bass HD15D2. So I reinstalled my old Kicker 06CVX154 and was right back in business. I may of just got a lemon American Bass HD15D2. But now I'm gun shy of American Bass product's. Now I'm wanting to upgrade again with a extra battery and thinking about a Sundown Audio Z v.5 15 or a Sundown X v.2 15. I really want the Z v.5 15. I guess will see.

I can make amplifiers really simple for you. If you want a great amp in the 2000 watt range, which is where the best price to performance range sits right now, get a Wolfram C2400 or a Soundqubed S1-2250. Both are great amps with the best features, and both put out around 2300-2400 watts at 1 ohm. Also, both are under $300. These are the best two budget amplifiers out right now. Check out Ryan Blankenship's KZfaq channel for amp Dyno videos. Also look up Bigdwiz's KZfaq for amp Dyno videos. They are the best in the game.

@@thatquitemazdaslow372 im going to be honest here, might be the best subwoofer for under 200 ever. The sq and spl it makes is amazing perfect for most people. I run one 12 in skar box (limited) and it rocks ! Plays every note with ease. But i swear u shoulda got 2 of them (more spl lol)

I also run 2 of these, and they get loud on an Orion Xtr 2500.1, and sound great doing it. Box is about 4.25 cubes, slot port. I've been wanting to try them in a different box, just to see if they would be louder with a round tube port like Parker's. I agree with the insane price to performance. I paid $140 each for mine a while back, and I've been loving them. Absolutely trouble free beating them for 2 years plus now.

I got the oscilloscope on amazon, its a cheap one but still $100 or so, it really has showed me how setting the gain doesnt mean youre safe, and depending on bass boosted songs etc. I literally use my oscope every time I play music. Also able to see how amps react to songs differently then other amps, where they peak in frequency and how easy they clip. Its really cool to see the action live and also am able to turn it down immediately if a certain song clips alot.
@johnviera38842 жыл бұрын
How much power were you pushing it with? 1000 watts seems perfect. If you’re pushing it harder than that you’re asking for a blown driver. As Parker has demonstrated here before, a subwoofer reaches maximum output at a certain peak and then you gain nothing from giving it more power. It’s just excess heat and damage. You don’t need an oscilloscope, you can hear when a sub is distorting. An oscilloscope is nice but learn how to use your ears with your bass knob

I wonder why they don't publish any of the T/S parameters for box building such as Qts or Vas. Why no Xmax? I get suspicious of companies that don't post certain specs. How are you supposed to make an enclosure for them? Anyway, how do you think this compares to the Rockford Fosgate P3D4-15 Punch P3 at an input power of 400 watts continuous? I'm trying to find a good dual 4-ohm sub that has a rubber surround.

The SA got louder with less power since it has a lot softer spider. But with too much power it would mechanically max out. Where as this could take all the power I could give to it.
