Diamond Audio Spare Tire Subwoofer DPSD12 unboxing and install 

Sometimes test units have been display units before we get them.

I have elantra do you recommend these spare subwoofers it will cost me 300$

@@RayanAlzahrani-sv8yx the jbl one is really nice and can take a little more power than the Diamond ones but I have not heard the Diamond one in person. It’s nice to have nice bass (not saying it’s the loudest or hardest hitting bass) but I will definitely shake my rear view mirror. And other than raising my trunk floor, I have no sub box in the way.

🙏🧡

Same, did you replace the Bose? I'm thinking maybe just a higher output amp might make it bump a lil more.

Definitely!

Those are no joke

The hex nut is supposed to act like a jamb nut so it all acts as one piece. Once the height is set, take it back out and tighten the hex nut and wing nut against each other really tight.

I've been running one of the cerwin vega units for about 4yrs, it has a great sound. Not earth shattering, but a great addition to a factory setup

Same company.

You never know, we can ask

​@@FiveStarCarStereoInc ask JBL to test theirs against this,,, please. Your viewers deserve the comparison (with data measurements).

Yes

If the JBL will fit, go with it. Look now, today, it's on sale. Even at full retail, the price difference is more than justified by the performance difference, IMO.

No sir.

We did a video on the JBL version with the built in amp. Very nice

The JBL passive version is better than this, and their active version is better than DA's (or CV's). This vs JBL's active, without consideration for longevity, comes down the amplifier used for this in terms of performance around 45Hz and above, below that there's potential for some back and fourth in terms of SPL at a specific frequency. If this type of solution is better for you than a custom box, the JBL Stadium BassHub should be top of the list, IMO, unless it won't physically fit...

Heard em both, in hatchbacks. Diamond. No question.

Lol, no, just no. The JBL passive Stadium Basshub is much better than this. This vs. the JBL active, OK,,, maaaaybe. In that case, it depends greatly on the amplifier used and its hardly "apples to apples," as they say. Hearing them both in different setups/vehicles isn't the same as testing them in the otherwise the exact same setup/vehicle.

I would get with Ata at absolute electrics in Rockville Maryland He is the s2000 guy

This is better than the powered CV. The passive JBL, Stadium Basshub, is better yet, objectively, by a significant margin. I've tried most of the products in this segment, and the CV ones are made inferior, while the JBL ones are made superior. The powered DA ones aren't anything special either, meaning no better than than the CV, overall. They appear to be made in the same factory using many of the same components, which are inferior to the components used for the JBL powered versions. In this segment, IMO, the only good reason to buy something (currently available in the market) other than JBL is if they won't fit without more modification than you want to do. Maybe price, but if you wait for a sale, that's much less of a factor, but then, I suppose, timing may be. No matter what, a halfway decent "real", boxed subwoofer, will almost always be a more capable solution. Most of these are "good" or "impressive" only for what they are. That is especially true when, as they often are, when they are set up in a system that's not processing the signal to correct for factory bass rolloff. Maybe with the passive systems, that's a bit more likely. In the case of the JBL (passive) Stadium Basshub, when setup properly, meaning tuned and with plenty of power, it can be straight up impressive, not just for what it is (or the price). No, it's not going to hit like a properly ported box with 3000w RMS, but it can still impress.

Cerwin and Diamond are the same company, bro.

The JBL is different, better, but CV and DA are essentially the same. Regarding the powered versions, the JBL uses significantly better electronic components.

the passive JBL is definitely a different unit. that uses a fiberglass cone and it's rated for 600w RMS vs the 300w most other spare tire subs are.

@Tony Hong yes, the JBL passive is impressive. Not just for what it is, but just as a subwoofer against many others.

I noticed there was nothing in my trunk lol
