Skar gets a bad rep but the bang for the buck can’t really be beat. Especially since they are always running a discount. I grabbed a full system and love it. Did a RP600.5 with a single SVR 8” with 4 of the pro 6.5’s and 4 pro tweeters and was super pleased. Noting fancy, just a decent sounding system in a daily driven vehicle without compromising a lot of space
They do have problems with woofers rubbing; they are mass produced in China and suffer Quality Control issues. Bottom line; they are entry level woofers and there's nothing wrong with that at!
@@bucwilde3470 I would love to see what you call entry level subs head anywhere near as hard as Skar audio subs do and just like any other car audio company they have defective products but even then when you get a hold of Customer Service they are top notch and have a no questions asked return policy if a product is a manufacture defect
@@chadjay828 well; Im talking about subs that sell from $200 to $300. That would be considered an entry level sub in the SPL build community. I've been installing car stereos since the late 80's so I'm not talking about shit from Walmart or the Swap Meet. How many SKAR subs do you see going up against Sundown ZV5's, DC level 6, b2Audio, or Deaf Bonce in the meter lanes? You sound like a Skar rep, don't get mad! I actually own a VFX-12 d2
Back in the day we would Dynamat and foam seal everything. When you pulled up you wanted to hear just pure heart pounding, clean hitting bass. When it's cancelled out by tons of rattles and flexing it just seems to ruin the whole experience. At least some more purists feel that way.
@@chris-8597 It's funny you think quality amplifiers exist with a lot of difference between the top and bottom. 30 years ago, the biggest difference was the chips. There isn't that much difference in chips today. So, the next thing would be the stages. Both I and Williston Audio have looked at the stages on a Skar. So, what would YOU do differently as an armchair engineer in a Skar amp?
I love to see what upgrades under the hood got done to get a great sounding system, I'm a car audio fan and know there's more than a fuse holder needed for a good audio system under the hood.
I have a all Skar setup in my daily driver Tahoe. 1 15 Skar and one Skar 1500 6.5 for the doors 2 optima batteries and HO alt. I had never heard about them until my coworker had a all Skar setup and it was hitting hard. Had my setup for 2 years now not one issue.
I've had a pair of zvx 18's and the sk 3500.1 on a 600 amp fuse in my daily for about 3 yrs now. Same no issues the subs are still tight amp runs cool to the touch still. I can drive all day with the system slamming amp stays cool. Speakers can take more I'm going to strap a pair of 3500.1's on them in the next vehicle. I'm switching my daily to a DC audio 10k system just because.
I had a skar ivx 15" in a box built to spec in a trunk of a monte carlo and I was very impressed with my $80 sub. I mettered it for fun and got a 138.6 on the dash sealed
Very nice system like another commenter stated I would however move the amps off of the box. If you like where they are for aesthetics then build a free floating amp rack in that location you can make it look just like it is now just without the amps being screwed to the box. As I'm sure you know the bass will undoubtedly eventually start rattling those amps apart so a free floating amp rack would look the part but would not be directly attached to the box. Anyway that's just one idea and by NO am I saying this build isn not awesome I'm just giving you a little pointer on the mounting of the amps that's all. Sweet sweet build man I'm loving it.
@@travianthorpe1273 bro bro!!! Listen me nuh man. From me see the back door open up and I saw the top end boxes I said yup. JA built. We take too end serious. Full range and sound fi balance! Big up yourself bro!!! Lovely build!!!
@@wrightduffell1608 Oh they get much better than 15 lol, I got my 15 inch loaded enclosure with the 15 AND an 800 watt amp for fricken 240 bucks! Like wuuuut?! Shit slaps lol
ive always mounted my amps on my box, 15years and never had an issue before. Right now i have my Orion XTR4000.1d mounted on my 2 X12's box for past 2years. get a nice solid amp and you wont have problems.
IAM SCAR’D 4 LIFE !!! I have 212 inch scar EVL with two RP 1500.1 A also have two scar 6 1/2 inch EVL mini subs with a scar RP 350.1 pushing the to 6 1/2 inch subs I have two scar TX 6.5 mid range speakers to scar 4 x 6 and the dash and getting ready to pick up to 5.25 speakers for kick panels the set up is in a 91 Chevy S 10 extended cab that has airbag system and lays frame once it’s all finished will take pictures
I got the dual sdr12 package with the rp1200d. 6.5" tx components up front. 3.5 tx 2 ways in the rear doors. 2 6x9 tx in the rear deck. All being pushed by a rp75ab 500w amp. My shit slaps hard af. Knockin pictures off the wall.
Hommie I am so impressed ur set-up is one off the best I've seen in my life ur ported top off the trunk yo the sick ass lithium cells Damm my man u Ballin the 2x 15 inch scar comps are simply 🔊 bass tactic I'd love to see ur whole mad scientist set-up and mind 10/10 dog I'm speechless my man thank you my brother u have a good day son kick it up yo I'm out
Hi im new to this but wanting to get subwoofers but I have a question please can you listen to subwoofers for hours or do you need to let them cool down I'm looking at low power subwoofers and not showing off just my personal use probably a 12 inch with about 300 to 500 watts any information is truly appreciated thank you for your time and have a great day fred
I’ve always heard never mount the amp to the box. I bought a box of a guy with 2 10’s and the amp was mounted to the box. Never had any problems. I guess it’s a gamble maybe from the vibrations. Might vibrate something loose?
Many things are a factor to that, in reality your box should be the most solid object in the build and with the correct rubber grommets it really isn't any worse than mounting them anywhere around the port or anything else that hasn't been reinforced. I've mounted the amps on sub boxes on SQ setups for 20+ years which I learned 90% what I know from my father that has been doing it himself for another 30+ years before me and we've never had any issues.
I picked up a skar RP1200.1D and immediately got rid of it. Coming from a Sony XM-GS100 I thought it would be a big upgrade, but the low end (frequency) from the skar was basically non-existent. Low pass and high pass tuned correctly by the way. Has anyone else had this issue with skar monoblocks? Maybe just on their more budget amps?
@@kique4879 well now I know lol. Got a Rockford Fosgate R2-750X1 and I’m going going to keep it for now. Sound quality is amazing, on par with the Sony I had before it, but more wattage obviously
