How Loud: Walmart Subwoofer Build Part 3 

Having fun and sharing the knowledge, doesn't get any better!

love these budget builds for people who are just starting to get into car audio.

It's very impressive how good cheap equipment has gotten

I want to see just how far you can take this budget build I think it's really interesting.

I have two of these in my blazer on one razor amp and a box tuned to 32 hurtz and it shakes my whole car the steering wheel my dash and doors flex great video brother love em keep it coming

That's crazy, I had 1 12" Sony Xplode with the black cone, and an infinity 600w amp installed in a 03 Alero and hit 138db. I think vehicle placement also plays a part in the sound levels

This has been a good series...I still remember the Walmart days... Lol

Those subs in the correct enclosure are crazy!!! I biult a custom 5 cubic foot vented center console in my Dodge Power Wagon with 2 of those subs and a skar 2000W Mono Amp. Subs and port are facing up. Tuned to 30hz..... Probably the best sounding subs for the money I've heard yet! I may try and down fire them before adding details to the console itself. See what sounds better. If i keep them firing upward I may add 2 more and isobaric them together. Maybe that's pointless with these subwoofers but for the price 🤔 I'll probably end up trying it lol

It’s pretty astonishing. I’ve been telling people about these subs and how they are actually pretty decent and you are just proving with tests I couldn’t perform! Thank you!

Cone area, load impedance, proper enclosure design and what physically will fit are crucial if you wanna get loud "on the cheap"

I'd love to see 4 of these in maybe 2 prefab boxes that are the same both amps wired to 1 ohm. Stack the boxes on top of one another. Would be awesome!

Great videos. Very informative and have been a subscriber for some time. To all the new subscribers welcome and if these videos are your first time watching Parker do his thing. Y’all are in for a treat. This man here is extremely professional and knowledgeable. I just wanted to comment and give my support. Keep up the amazing work that you do. I will be waiting for the next video soon.

Having two amps is kinda like having a buddy help you out. Everything is easier when you got a buddy helping. Lol

Been waiting for the next one. Glad it’s here. Keep up the good work.

Definitely enjoying this. I know what it takes to get 3dbs. I'm more impressed how well the budget system holds up.

Systems like that work great for budget builds thanks Parker for your hard work

Wow I enjoyed watching this. Those Power Acoustik subs are nice!

I just watched the last video with 2 subs wired to amp at 1 ohm & the spl score is close to the same with 2 amps wired down at 2 ohms each. Like the videos u make, very informative ✌️

My man Parker is the real deal and hell yes you can. My favorite kind of systems are budget. When you build a bad ass box and it slaps

Love your videos and the fact that you actually know what you are not only saying but the fact that you are always able to do what you say

Nice job Parker, I’m sure a lot of budget minded bassheads including myself took some useful info from this video.

I remember the old school Jenson blue speakers that Walmart used to sell those hit hard back in the 90's.

Definitely a neat test to see what some of the budget stuff can do 👍

I love watching your videos❤️ born from a country that music is everything🇩🇴 one day i will buy subwoofers for my car❤️❤️❤️❤️

They sound great love it

Love these segments even though I run 2 skar with taramps . It’s so entertaining to watch . Keep up the good work

Super dope dude now you got me want to build a budget build I have been looking for easy build.. thanks

Another good video. 👍👍 Thanks for touching on the impedance or ohm load. I see those questions asked so often.

We needed this. I almost went that way when I built a system in 2020 but I discovered rockville when they were in a lawsuit so I got the subs cheap with matching amps

Dang man . I subbed a while back when u had like 3k subs and havent been back in a while and ur channel has exploded along with the quality and entertainment value as well . Doing good bro keep it commin.

Wow. What we would of paid for this 33 years ago when I was 18 is beyond astronomical.

But if you think about it Parker, you're giving equal power to each sub. I'm not saying that that's better by any means for gain on db, but for the long haul the way you have them setup now, could give them a longer life. Like most of us, I love extreme bass. But there are some that this setup would be absolutely bomb an perfect for. I have one of these subs sitting around that I wanna put in the car for my wife, I've just been trying to find the right amp for it. Deeply appreciate you taking the time an money to show that you don't always have to spend big money for some good bump! Thanks Parker, you're doing a great service!! Can't wait to see the 4 12 setup!

Cannot Wait to see the 4 sub wall. My first big build when I was 18 was 4 rf hx2 12s on a power rf 1000 in a sealed box my dad and I built . Was such a fun thing to do and that shit bumped ina gel tracker ! Let’s goooooooo

Parker really be putting work into his videos and they are fire. Thanks Bro

From my understanding, on paper at least, you have to add 10x as much power or 10x as many drivers to double volume (10db gain). Doubling the number of drivers or doubling output power will give about a 3db gain which some regard to be around the smallest volume difference the average human ear can detect. Just in case anyone is curious and this doesn't really hold up in the real world, just some approximations with other variables removed. Good video. I am really enjoying this series. I would be interested in seeing some other subs tested in the same way, maybe different amps as well but I think it would be interesting to see different price ranged subs benchmarked on the same setup. Just a thought.

Awesome build. It's all about having fun.

Always great when parker uploads!

Nice CT Sounds amp. I was born and raised in CT.

I have a pretty similar story. I had the same amps. And a single dual 4 ohm Rockville k9 12. I just bought the amp because i didn't have the money to buy a better one at the time. I was so impressed with it with the sub wired down to 2 ohms, i bought another one and wired each coil with its own amp. I knew that there would be less power per amp, being 4 ohms instead of 2 but I assumed it would work the amps less hard and might gain some spl from it, as well as quality. I can tell you that its louder and cleaner with a single amp. These amps really just love low impedance i think. So eventually I'll order a second k9 d4 and be pounding. Just for a little background, it is an sq system. I used all high-end 8 ohm drivers to replace the factory speakers, and a class a/b kicker 4ch. Amp. Can't stress how important it is to use class a/b for mids/highs. I know there are really fancy class d amps that will do high-fidelity like a class a/b, but for what i can afford I'll do class a/b. Class d is fine for bass but..........

Ran mine on 1 ohm on a Kicker CompR 12, blew both the fuses after 10 minutes and after jumping them smoked the kicker after 5. I've tried three of the Power Acostik subs and they all blew within a week, finally bought myself some Skar Audio subs and amps and couldn't be happier.

Just found your channel with this series, this is pretty dope tbh

Nice video Parker! It's all about getting the most Bang for your buck. You're right, planning around impedance in important. Waiting to see what next.

wasn’t expecting that at all with a second amp. Rise is a thief lol. Now I think the next step should be build a custom box for those two subs and run the testing again! The skar prefab is decent at that power level but I’m curious to see how much difference a custom box would make! Really cool series and Im enjoying it!

It's always cool to see budget builds that just work. Reminds me of my system. Except yours is not as janky. Good job!

These budget builds are the best!!!

Man I’ve always seen these duals In Walmart I kinda want to test it in my truck I love you’re videos !! Really in depth and step by step because of you I might run some 6.5 CT SOUNDS MESO just need to find a box for them

Amazing as always

Love your vids man trying to upgrade my 04 jeep grand Cherokee. New to diy audio .single dad so on a budget . Thanks for all the info

I have something similar I’ve noticed facing the subs up wards towards the roof it made a slight difference

Would like to db reading of this setup in a sedan. Pickup's and SUV's and Hatch's are always going to be louder. But I'm literally impressed by this...Walmart didn't have these in late 90s early 2000s, yea I'm old

I always appreciate the making as much as you can from a little bit. In the daily I run a single DB-10 in a box I 3d printed with custom sized aero port 3D printed as well. Metered a 138.5. I think it could burp almost a 40 if i had anything resembling decent electrical. Just too lazy to go throw in the bank of maxwell ultra caps sitting here lol Took me idk 6 generations of changes to reach that 38.5 but damn proud of it off a single 10

That is some fire subwoofer build. Really entertaining upload

Right on; fun series!

Your results are proof. adding the other amp gave you higher db what if you test again with one amp but use the power from both amps on the one to see if it's a input supply from the CCA resistance. I've run two amps on a dvc sub had same results sounded louder with two amps but the input watts was 10% less with two amps while the output watts was kept the same. i wish i would've tested each amp independently now to see if it was a component tolerance issue.

Exact same amp I use. But, I took off the back cover and put a fan on it. Hasn't tripped since, ran it on 1 ohm since day one, I run the absolute piss out of this amp and it put out maybe 800 watts max. Two Audiobahn AW1206T 12's wired to 1 ohm. It works and never dies (anymore).

I’m running two of those subs in my s10. Off a sfb-1000, stock electrical. Hit 143.3 at 47 hertz

Nice to see a budget build video.

I definitely need to see & hear these in a custom box face up or maybe even inverted. Come on part 4 !!!

I have the same set up and it sounds good for the money spent

You provide some great content, love it.

I love this series! I’ve been a sub since 10k!!

Parker good video thank you for your time bud. Impedance rise is killing the power you are getting at the woofer, but you're thinking ahead to 4 woofers. Would you do a video in this series to educate your fans about impedance rise thx.

Budget experiments are always fun to watch

Love these videos keep up good work

I love ur Walmart gear series !! Bad ass they also sell soche brand 12 inch single sealed speaker box that u assemble urself for like 35 bux each they are 1.125 cube and are actually decent.

Wow I love that clear bottom.

I've been running a power acoustic mofo 152x for over a year . It bangs hard. I am using a powerbass xma-1205d amplifier, which is much better than power acoustic though...

Definitely love this

Impressive thanks parker and love the new truck by the way 👌 keep bumpn

Thanks for video of a budget build

Very fun series!

I have this same sub in my tundra sr5. Im using a punch 300.1 with the coils run at 2 ohms. Sounds pretty clean

Pretty cool series, keep up the good content!

Thanx again for the informative video, appreciate you brother

Love how you're grown. Nice bub

Good series keep the videos coming

Good series. Keep up the good work.

I need this amp man love the content btw

Thanks for sharing about the resistance you had the speakers wired to, but it would also be nice to know the RMS wattage at each resistance for better comparison.

I have one hooked to two 12 inch kicker subs, wired to 1ohm.. solo classic 12/kicker comp c 12, in a comp c prefab box. Growls very nice. Then added a 10inch rockford fosgate punch he 8ohm in qlogic sealed box. The depth is VERY noticeable. Idk what 8ohm addition changed ohm load to, but amp does not get hot.

Great series man

Love to see a fellow bass head bumpin Terror Reid‼️

Good work! Been here since the old rockville 10!

Pop that trunk is always a fun song too 🤣

Bravo excellent good experiment study and useful knowledge and information

Hey part 4 should be custom box VS store bought box with the same speaker and show the increase in DB.👍👍 Great video.

Hell yea dude. Sick set up and sick truck 🤘🏼

I have one of these subs and a rzr 2500 d amp in a ported bbox it hits hard

I can say for sure that I had one on a Rockville k9 12, then got another one so I had one per coil. Not a huge difference but I truly believe it's loudest with one @ 2 ohms instead of 2 @ 4ohms. I didn't see the first video, I'm super intrigued to hear the verdict.

Man As always majorly life motivational..... Salute , Blessings to everyone grind and motivations.....

Nice work, good 💡

Congratulations on the subs!! 👍👍🤗 The people, not the Power acoustics😆👍👍 Keep it going dude!!

Those power acoustics are pretty decent. Got one in the wife's chevy cruze n it shakes the wipers.

I've bin watching for a while love the content. keep it up I know your channel is going to have success much love!

Thanks!

Love your video's

My buddy had 3 of those subs on a taramps 3k, they slapped hard

very entertaining series

I'm glad I found this channel

That come noise tho 😂 I thought my 4 had a bad sub somewhere so I took them out for now
