I own a pair of these. To be honest, anybody thinking about getting them, you won't be disappointed. Why pay more for other brands. True and tested

@bassface1984 8 месяцев назад

Bro you should build enclosures because you do a fine job. I WOULD personally buy a box built for two vxfs.Hav a pair of the 15s and the lows are so good on musid and nasty loud on spl.

What skar prefab box you think is best for a single ran 1 ohm. The evl 12 loaded combo it had support for magnet built in, and is a different box than what is currently sold empty. I like the box those you have

@sppb32 8 месяцев назад

I have a pair of them dual 2Ω, with the Fs at 36hz and the VAS at 0.5378³ feet they perform better in small boxes with lots of port area, a 1.7³ feet, 35² inches of port area tuned to 32hz should be the sweet spot.

I've been breaking in my 2vzf12s for over a year on 2 rp2ks and they are still stiff as a board LOL. Great video 👍🏼👍🏼

@lieutenantmikeo5979 8 месяцев назад

The vxfs are nice subs. If skar beefed up the coil a bit,I'd consider it a top contender. Subs like DC, crossfire, and fi use the tall basket and short motor design.

@brockmarquis8511 8 месяцев назад

Avatar stu 1546. Love to see how you feel about them compared to these. I had to make the choice between them or these. I went with the avatar and got them even cheaper on the big sale. Great lows. Push a lot of air.

Hey there, if I want to use 8 gauge wire from the amp to speaker terminal does the jumper wire also need to be 8 gauge or could I use 12 gauge from 1 set of terminal to the other set, since 2 x 8 gauge won't fit in the first set of terminal

VXF 15 or Resilient sound good 15 v1. Going in a ported spec box. Which will get lower with better SQ. Powered by a fosgate prime 1200

@HiFiVector 5 месяцев назад

Honestly, you can’t go wrong either way they’re both excellent but with your amp the resilient would be a little more efficient on that 1200

what kind of wiring do i need for the taramps smart bass 5? do i need the big 3 upgrade and extra battery

@thomaswalton9089 6 месяцев назад

ps.. i want subs that will piss my neighbor off like shake his living room from the driveway lol, im still saving so i have time to decide but dam so many options to choose from

@HiFiVector 6 месяцев назад

Well for a smart 5 you will need a high output alternator like 300 to 400 amps. Big 3 wiring and 2 runs of OFC 1/0 wire going from front engine compartment to the amp. And a lithium battery or a couple AGM batteries. 5000 true watts needs a lot of electrical.
