BOSS AUDIO’S BIGGEST SUBWOOFERS | Trash or Pass? 

They did surprisingly better than I thought they would. Thanks for the video

More efficient, less power required for same avg db... no need to upgrade electrical ect. So there is always a use for lower build subs.

Back in 1994 that would have been the envy of the school yard.

I absolutely love your videos You're the only guy that test out stuff that people can afford

we all know boss is a cheap brand but overall they handled way more then i ever thought they could. Decent starter subs for a cheap price

All about the box. Used to build boxes for friends and stuff and worked with loads of cheap gear. And in my experience if you build a good box cheap woofers hold up really well and can take good power, can easilly push double the wattage trough them if you avoid extended tones around tuning frequencies. I mean, Who listnens to music at 140db? If you do you won't for long anyway. You really don't have to spend thousands if you're not competing. Just invest in a good set of front speakers and a quality amp to push those and you can do crazy stuff for not much money.

I really enjoy the energy and attitude you bring. You're entertainment value in your videos are superb!

They are decent starter equipment. Just remember to take a 0 off the end of their pwr ratings (to get closer to the truth) and they will last ya long enough to save for something better.

You should've unscrewed covers for magnets. I wanted to see how big the magnet was. I think Parker didn't want to embarrass the company to badly lol. I agree maybe good for home theater or garage. Would be nice to have some honesty in wattage ratings though. Good video! Like to see these budget brands in action!

WOW! BOSS took a good stand on these tests. Not bad. Another good video sir. Keep these coming.

Hey they lasted longer than the Rockville destroyer subs lol

It's all about your box honestly any subs can get loud and sound good

Now thats what I call MAX WATTS. You can tell the Boss is a better built unit from that bulky grill blocking the pole vent. Sundown cheaped out and left the vent open allowing all of the max watts to leak out of the back. PS: That intro killed me when you ran down the boxes in your ride.

You were cracking me up with the subtitles at the beginning of the video. I'm kind of surprised they lasted as long as they did. Good video, parker. Keep em coming!

Here’s a challenge for you. Based on the $76 price of the boss audio 15’s at autozone, you can buy 11-12 of the boss 15’s for the price of your one sundown ZV6. You should build a giant boss box with all those 15’s and compare it to the one sundown for fun, just see how they compare.

Great video man. This one was funny AF 😂 keep up the good work.

Boss Audio was founded in 1987 and is still around, sundown audio was founded in 2006.LOL I'm sure parker was still in nuttsville or in diapers at that time. Hahaha! I remember when A guy named duey had 2 JL Audio w6's 12's in the 90's bumping them in a mustang 5.0 hatchback, and you could hear him a block away! It's funny what people today consider loud and what they consider the cool factor! LOL. I think that those boss speakers took some punishment compared to some of the junk we got and thought was cool back in the day! Bah aha! Being that said, boss has always been considered a cheap entry level brand and the company has made millions selling this stuff and been around a lot longer than Sundown Audio. Hahaha!

Being that BOSS Audio is a cheaper brand, I'm surprised you liked these so much! Just ordered 10 of them

Man you guys blow me away with all these videos,I gotta step it up🤣

Glad you did this!!! Honestly didn't expect them to do great, but the cost for 2 of these and a boss amp an cheap wiring kit is probably fairly cheap for a beginner basshead.

Never been a big fan of the subs but every once and a while they plop out some sleeper amps. You need to know exactly what to look for but the 5500 onyx ( I think it was overstock buy for boss cus they didn't build it ) . I ran dark audio 12's off it and yeah I had a 300 amp alt, a massive battery and I have a fair grasp on what I'm doing....but that amp powering those subs in a nice sealed enclosure was doing it's best to dismantle my crown Vic 😏. The subs are " meh " a select few amps are monsters in disguise. Just remember not everyone is looking to jack hammer the block with some " I brought the waaaaaaalk " 😂🤣 and I bet these would do very well behind a 600 watt amp in a daily set up for decent output, remember parker your used to 10,000 watts and some higher level competition stuff......do not ever forget where you came from bruh, I was there when you started😏

I had a boss 10 inch a while ago it was rated to take 600 rms and it always started smelling when I got close to the 400 rms range

Cone area is king especially with lower power. I did a test with 2 audio legion gladiators 15s in a atrend sealed prefab. Did a 142.8 in my sedan and those subs were only $120 I think a piece. On around 1300 or so watts.

Finally some decent and consistent content from a bass head you tuber. Love your stuff man. You have helped me make a lot of purchase decisions on setups

They call them Boss for a reason. That's the real deal right there. I personally filled my truck with them bad boys! Haters gonna hate but that's all good!

I absolutely love this sarcasm and I really appreciate your videos.

Back to the hotel never sounded so good 😂

I've been using Boss audio subs for years now they have a really good quality for the $, I've had 3-15 inch subs in a 98 Civic and afterwards changed car for a Yaris iA with 3-12s and Boss Audio used a picture I took for 1 of their magazine's or cover. I was happy since people talk trash about the brand and 90% of the time it was their own mistake.

Bro I've been watching for a long time and love your channel great to see you mess with 15s now 👏

@parkerthebasshead i had a question about voltage drop. I seen your voltage regulator stayed at 14.3 without any dip. Trying to accomplish the same. Had an aftermarket js alternator that didn’t really help at all. Thinking maybe i have a bad ground but just not sure. Need help. Only pushing 1000 watts rms from a dd audio 1500.1 at 2 ohms to one alpine 12. Also did the big 3

love your videos man. this one was hilarious!

Thanks. A 1200 watt amp is a perfect match! Thanks for all your time with these videos bro you show some cool stuff And I especially like cheap subs like these that sounds great at a lower volume. Peace

I'm surprised they lasted that long on 8k! Plus they really had your truck shakin' but TRASH!!!!! Very funny video bro!🤣💪🏾

Love the last star fighter esuq motor assembly, gives the impression that 2500 watts could potentially launch these cones into orbit.

Going back and watching old builds like this and the Walmart and kicker series. I’m surprised they took anything . I bet with a budget amp those would bang decent just don’t show anyone the setup lol! Digging in the crates with Parker and big d wiz ona Friday 🤘🏻🤘🏻

The sarcasm is flowing 🤣🤣😂

Your sarcasm is killing me lmao

Hey Parker! Love your videos, I've been playing with "Discreetly" converting my work truck system into a beast being that I'm not trying to piss off my boss of 30+ years. 😂😂😂🤔🤫 Just wandering what 3 shallow 10" enclosures you would recommend using. I drive a "Honey wagon" and from what I used so far....turned heads and only have gotten great feedback from everyone on all my job sites. And I've only been using some amature equipment that easily blow my boxes apart.

Hello Parker Do you have access to the Soundigital line of amplifiers? Reviewss please !! especially I wanna see a review on soundigital evo5 3000.1 amplifier

I dont know the price of These but the Main differences i can see in the tsp is that they dont have the best spl and need very big enclosures but for a starter with a small amp and much room they could do okay and maybe the customer get the Chance to upgrade from that Cheap Single 15 to a decent 18inch in the Same enclosure

in need of some pointers on what apps are best to use for quality preferably free and some song recs for 2 10s

The amount of sarcasm 1 1/2 mins in is overwhelming

Can't wait to see what happens!!!

cca wire too OFC... will you see a difference if i swap mine from 0 gauge too OFC 0? still new to car wire so we all start somewhere lol

where did you get your head unit kit? i need one for mine

Have you or anyone noticed that some boss subwoofers have different T/S parameters? It could be the same product, but the official website, official re-sellers sites and the user manual list completely different specs for tuning and enclosure size, among other discrepancies. Sorry to complain, but that's my gripe with Boss. However, I still like my little be8d woofer and i even built a cute little ported enclosure for it and it does well. Thank you for these videos, have a great new week!✌🏼💯🔊

Aw man!! Soo much flex in those bad boys absolutely tearing that interior apart!!!

What are the watt ratings for these subs? I couldn't find them anywhere on this video lol

This video got me cracking up the whole time 😂😂😂 you da man 🫵🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

I've been pushing boss audio for 10 yrs minimum. Every single pair had needed over 100 hours of flex time @ like 1/3 max power... then advance to like 2/3 max. After roughly 2 weeks... they really bang alot more. Rocking 3-12" phantom 2ohm dvc. But I like em for the quality of mid & low! Great bang for the buck! 💯 🙌

I had the same 15 as my first woofer on the boss 1200 watt amp and it flexed the trunk of my crown Vic and wasn't bad until I wanted to experience the more expensive stuff

I'm also extremely surprised they didn't blow up way way earlier.

Super hilarious sarcasm in the beginning 😂😂😂

that sundown is ridiculous i love it!

I'm curious to know what percentage of Boss subs are sold just to be destroyed 😆👍👍 Thank you for the videos!!

What if you changed the 8- 15” subs in the new set up to 8-Boss 15” and see what she will do 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔just a thought I think it would be very interesting

How long did you break them in before you started really sending it

What’s your favorite budget 12” subwoofer? I’ve ran a single American bass xfl or whatever it was called.. it was 200$ and I’ve also ran dual Rockford p3s they all sounded good. I just want to know what your favorite dual 12” set up was on a budget. I’m having a hard time figuring out what I want without wasting my money.

LMAO love the intro 😂

6 of these, in a proper sized 4th, on that amp, would be interesting build

God dang bro. You gonna throw your back out picking up those Boss Audio 15's!

Parker, Where can I buy that db meter you got? Thanks

Hey Parker, I was wondering if you’d be testing the American bass 3k 10” competition subwoofer

Wow man! The mic you used to record the subs is really BOSS! 🤫🤣

😂😂this is like the match box cars you don't like to play with but you have to include them😂😂

There's a company called Dynavox that make the cheapest speakers I know of. The 6.5" is $11.00, have big motors and sound good, and i've actually used 'em. The $39.00 18"s have got me curious. Might make a good video.

Boss audio in the 90's was the Skar audio of today. Both are bottom tier crap but people still bought it up!

Parker? Get your TIP or thx section working please. This video deserves one. Thanks dude! And the VIDEO had me laughing so hard I spilled my my drink. Bravo !

Can u drop a playlist of the music if possible

So they 8 ohms or dual 4 ohms Boss Audio?

Gotta love boss 6x9 speakers where the leads to the spider wore out before the speakers did.

What would sound better RS Gold or Deaf Bonce(the 1,000 rms one)

Hey bro show us how to use the stepson thing next to the taramps I still don’t fully know how use it

Can you review soundstream t5 12 inch subwoofer

What size are those subs ?? How much are those pushing/ watts ??

Why in all you're videos it sounds like air is leaking out of the enclosure? Do you put any type of seal around the subs before you drop them in?

hey do you review shallow mount subs?

Parker I'm guessing they are maybe 300-500 watts rms each realistically. Would you agree?

Can you do a test on two 10" Resilient Sound dual 4's heard they can take a ton of power thinking about buying a pair. Enjoy the videos amd channel

"Hey guys I'm a wannabee whistlin woopher and I blow a lot of woophers"

Like everyone says, preciate the budget stuff testing.

So an idea, should do a SPL build off with a chosen sub across the board (spin the wheel for a vote select list) and participants will have to build a box, amp choice is up to the builder, and do the dopest destruction of the subs to win. But it has to be done the Parker way. Same songs and all.

🤣🤣🤣Boss Audio!! Funny Parker great video

Hey y'all make sure to comment multiple times. It will help his algorithm.

Obviously there is a huge difference between a continuous power rating and a peak power rating, but I'm shocked they actually withstood their advertised peak. Thought for sure they'd bottom out with 500w, so I'm impressed they took over 3,000 watts each and didn't come apart.

Anybody know the peak power wattage for these MASSIVE bad boys?

Hey Parker if you got any used 12-in ported boxes

What subs do you run most of the time when your not doing a video?

This video was amazing man the sarcasm 🤭🤣🙆‍♂️

Can you compare the American bass xfl and the American bass hawk to each other. Also good video

I really would like to see if 1500w rms would destroy these. I got the 1500w 10 inch ones. My amp is pushing 1500w rms to two of them and it started smelling. They won't handle 750w each. I got mine at around 800w pushing seems still to harsh lol.

Surprised…not bad for the price…imagine 12 of these…. If I was going to do a budget build though I would run lanzar audio

I’ll upgrade from them one day all I could afford tho thanks for the video man !

The neighbors be like oh Parker got new toys he’s playing with them now lol

🤣 Did you run them over?😂😂😂

Have you seen the Powerbass 2xl 15s? They have 300oz magnets, play down to 25hz, and are only 149 dollars?

This was entertaining. Lol. Thanks for the vid!

I've found boss to be a surprisingly solid "bang for watt" product. The key is, you have to IGNORE their ratings. So for instance, tell yourself that the RMS of these are say.. 500 watts. THEN, compare them to other similar sized speakers making that same true power. When looking through those lenses, and comparing them against those similar products, I've been surprised a few times from boss - particularly in their marine line. Boss also has one of the best warranties in the audio industry. The same can be said about their amplifiers. Take their 4000 "armor" watt sub amp which sells for like $150 and really mentally think of it like as a.... 400-500 watt amp (it's laughable how off their ratings are). But as a $150, 400-500 watt true RMS @ 4ohm amp, it's pretty darn good!! (pulled those numbers from "BidDWiz") Or to make it really easy, as Parker pointed out, keep it "in the family." So pair up their "4000" watt sub to their "4000 watt" amp and you'll be fine. Because both are overrated lol.

the sarcasm is so good

are mtx terminator dual 12s bass package good
