I think its safe to assume if you bought a budget sub, cut the rms in half and run it like that. Its all marketing and has been marketing since the word go. Unless your willing to drop a metric ton of cash on high end stuff, under power your gear and live with a little less bumps for longer.

I recently discovered your channel and I have to say it has become one of my new favorites. I love the fact that you test real world cheap stuff instead of the boutique high-end brands that only the wealthy and competition guys would care about. When I was growing up it would have cost at least 2 grand to get the performance out of a sound system that you could spend less than 500 for today. Generally speaking we are living in the Golden Age of car audio in performance vs cost if you can overlook the stigma of going cheap. I doubt the average listener is going to discertain the performance in 8/10s listening levels. It's the extra 2/10s where I think the high end brands have their place. Not only that, when you go cheaper, it hurts that much less when someone breaks in your ride and steals everything! Keep up the great content and disturbing the peace!

I want to see the same test done to subs from Skar or American Bass with no break in period and see what happens. The equivalent of their subs to the Rockville. I'm all about uncovering imposters in the car audio game and stand by the saying, "just put what it really does on the box and don't inflate the ratings". I'm old school and do the same thing as you Big D and one time a few years ago I bought two Boss Phantoms 10's for the heck of it to see what they do. Well I hate to say this but tell me why those $50 dollar subs lasted longer than some other subs I've owned! I say that to everyone to not hate on every single product because of a name. Don't get caught up in the business foolery. Yes there is crap out there but there is also good out there that doesn't break your wallet. I'm glad we have Big D, Budget Gem, and Meade to do dyno's for us!
@Supercharged1976
@Supercharged1976 5 лет назад
I think I know what they did. Anyone that would be buying and running these would have no concept of impedance rise. So they are saying 1000 watts rms so the every day consumer that knows 0 about the technical side of audio will buy a 1000 watts rms amp. Which as we all know will get you maybe 600-700 watts peak after impedance rise which would probably put this sub around where it is actually rated 500-600 rms.

Guess What? I bought one of the 2 ohm models after this video. and ran it @ 700 watts @ 4ohms for months..... no issue.... so i bought another one for 93 bucks that was refurbed from Audio Savings last week. which is one of Rockville's sister companies. I run the Bassrockers 2000watt RMS model 2000.1D amp which is in it's self a budget GEM @ 175 dollars for true rated power. I ran them with the subsonic set properly, 80hz crossover both of them wired down for a 2ohm load on the amp. so both subs seeing about 650 to 700watts RMS EACH! have had them in the car for 3 days, and I run them High for about 1 1/2 hrs everyday (back and forth to work) i check coil and amp tempts after every run... no heat.. no smoke... amp and sub dust caps cool to the touch. but as soon as i clipped them on purpose, you could smell them heat up a bit, they just don't have a huge margin for error ( i blame the CCAW voice coils). All rockville has to do is rate these 700-900 watts RMS and they would be fine, you could never touch 2000 watts on these things except maybe for a burp, and i'm leary of 1000 but will be trying it after the second sub finishes it's break in. once it's broken in like my first one, i'll run it down to 1ohm load on the amp and give it the 1000 watts per sub smack and see where it gets me!

I was watching this again and I noticed if I see correctly Rockville has there spider(s) glued to a bolt on ring... That's pretty cool. I'm actually surprised that that isn't used more along with a bolt down surround land. If the tinsels were removable to you could compleatly disassemble and reassemble you entire driver for inspection and repair... If company did this and sold recone kits with the ring already glued a person could compleatly rebuild a sub with nothing but an Allen wrench..... Plus be great for people like me that loooove to take stuff apart to fittle n see what makes it chooch...

Yeah that sub isn't handling that much power. Look at the ohm load go up the coil is creating more resistance the hotter it gets. You were almost blowing it with that 1000 watt test judging by the resistance. I don't think it would have made it another minute. Looks like a 500/600 watt amp is about all you want to give them daily driving. That's not bad honestly. I don't think the low end Skars would put up a much better fight.

I don't have hands/ears on experience with the K9s, but I do with K6s. The K6s have been solid. What I see as the problem with the K9s is just a marketing issue... It is a $100 woofer being pitched like it is a $300+ woofer...which will only lead to dissatisfaction to those expecting it to perform like a $300 woofer. For $100 though, it would be top of the heap.
