SUNDOWN 18s on 16,000 Watts Part 5 

Man that’s awesome! I’m sure they’ll perform even better when broken in. Thank you for the build vids Parker.

For terminals I use all thread. Drill a hole slightly smaller than the all thread and screw it in. With the all thread you can make them as long as you want. Use two nuts and a washer on the inside and a nut a washer and a wing nut on the outside.

Your box don't look much different than the custom box I spent a decent amount of money on lol. Good job man!👏👏👏

Good stuff man! You’ve came a long way, keep up the awesome work. Bass on bro!

Hey, use rubber grommets on the inside and outside of your box speaker terminal bolts. I always recommend this they aren't expensive and they keep your box from getting pressure squeeze marks and it's just a little extra protection just in case.

When painting MDF: mix white glue with water (or wood glue with water) and brush onto box with a chip brush, allow dry time, then paint. It will seal the pores in the wood so the paint/stain doesn't soak into the wood, leaving a dull finish. I didn't come up with this trick, but have done it and can confirm it works.

Shit looks and sounds good brother. Can't wait to see what it meters. Love your channel.

PARKER THE BASS HEAD has done it again.. Keeps me coming back week after week.. So I am guessing you are also loving the new Marts Amps also???

Yessirr I got 6 18s now but started out with 15s and 18s just take lows so much better👌

Just wait till you got them broken in

I've never owned 18s, had 4 JL w7s 13s and 4 JL w6 10s in a 2001 eclipse gt. Had 2 kicker 15 L7s in another vehicle, but 15s are as large as I've went. I've seen people running larger subs for comps, but for my daily drivers, I've personally never seen the need. Thank you for showing them to us though. Very useful and interesting info. Thank you for your generosity and the opportunity 🙏, stay well and be safe brother.

WOW that's awesome Parker simply banging love your channel and work truly inspirational

Damm bro that's one hell of a set up hopefully one day I can meet u in person great content keep up the great work

Looking good. 👍👍 I like the look of bigger subs.

There is some wire look that is specifically made for RCA wires. It helps block the interference.

Man I'm a big fan of your I've learned a lot from your RU-vid channel

I'm pretty sure this build can do over 150 db Very easy. Good job. I love 18s 👍🔊🔊🔈

Yep I can't wait to see what numbers it does once you got it dialed in great video my man this is the content that I login for

Done both and have been a subscriber since the beginning yo!!!

18s are my dream and hopefully one day I can reach that goal 🙏🏼

Wow!! I love it 💯 It's loud and your box looks amazing 😃

Hey Parker, nice build. When you get a chance can you give a demo playing Young Jeezy- Hypnotized and Gucci Mane Ft. Oj Da Juiceman- Stealing, Those songs slap super hard👍💯

If you still get whine after swapping out your rca cables then try to either ground the rca's negative to the vehicle itself or if still hearing it then get yourself a cheap ground loop isolator they usually eliminate all motor static interferences....

Enjoy watching and learning from you videos! Always clean setups

on boxes i always make terminals like these, imo the best and cheapest way to make proper terminals...just i mark them by painting the ends of the bolts with red and black colors

More great Content! Keep work’n man!

Would suck if the Marts amp is the source of the whine...

Don't open that Dr Pepper! ROFL!

Your smile says everything we need to know 😅 its a beast!.

Come on parker... always seperate power and ground from rca's. One the first things we learned.

Insane build my man lol

Going to upgrade to 4 15s once I can find a box builder in Kentucky

Love the box!!!

I remember when Parker started his channel and mfkrs would troll him because of his low budget builds. Look at him now! Congrats Parker love your builds and content

Looks similar to my box for my 12s lol! Nice!!

Awesome, The Big 18” Beast sub and it’s a Sundown to boot! I’d Love to have two Sundown 12” DVC2 with a pair of Down4Sound’s JP8s slaved on each sub because I ended up buying 2 when they were on sale!#Down4Sound#JPAmps#JP8🔥🔊

Awesome video. As usual. Buy why sundown & not deaf bonce 🤔 4518r😂

Looks Beautiful Parker!

I had solo x 18 when I was like 20 something wish I never sold

4 --18s? Then maybe that whole door will come off lol Cant wait to upsize myself

Does anyone have RE Audio anymore? I'd love to see some of those old subs put to the test. My 12's have been going strong for like 15 years

Grounding your rca outputs from behind the radio fixes that whining.

I really could use a 5 channel amp. Love deaf bonce when I got back into car audio a couple years back from watching YOU and EXO, JACOBVIRAL and I saved and bought a full deaf bonce apocalypse setup.

I've been out for awhile guy ,I'm done with sundown subs after being lied to by Bryan at sundown in an e mail I have about the Chinese built subs I have as being built with love in house ,I'm done never again.

Need some help… I am putting sound system on my boat and I have the Skar 1500.1 marine amp but needing advice on should I go with the EVL 12 loaded enclosure or the dual 12 svr loaded enclosure??? It’s going in a compartment behind the back seat also.

Nice system 👍

That’s crazy your happy thst 2 18’s floated a napkin. I was actually thinkin it would be more. I had 2 skar zvx12’s on a smart 3 a sub and I floated better. I feel like there could be more wind

Now you just need 2 more 18s 😂

Hey parker. I just popped my 10s. What is a decent brand of 10s that are cheap. Sumn that won't blow apart for around 100 dols? I'm a def budget banger.

Meter???? Need to hit up Vlad and get/buy some deadener for that... If DB want send and low funds Amazon is full of butyl based for dirt cheap.

a napkin with 2 subs...? its two 18's lmao you should be floating hoodies , buddy is floating way more with 2 x8's out of a trunk LOL

Hate to say it but the whining is probably just from the cheap Brazilian amp being noisy, I've had that many times from those amps, switched to half bridge korean and no noise.

hey parker or anybody else who can answer,how long should the ports be,and how far should they be apart,i'm thinking about building my own 18 inch box,real soon

That's right Parker!!! Love your content. Hate when ppl talk bad on your channel like they know better or do better or can provide better. But yet I don't see no channel being made by them so they still hating from the sidelines crying with their Sony Xblows!!

Parker, have you ever done a video on building the loudest system only using the factory electrics (alternator and battery) ?

I personally don't care for the simple poke bolts out the side of the box it looks kinda cheesy but here's a terminal tip, which is take a 4" or so hole saw and put a hole where you want your terminals router a radius on the outer edge looks nice and then attach it however you choose over the hole on the inside then put your bolts through, not only does it look less "ah whatever good enough" but it also recesses your bolts so if it's on carpet not sitting on a hard surface you could lay the box on that side if you change your mind on where to aim your subs or just to hide the terminals. Trust me it looks way more professional than diy.

parker you rule the earth! you should start going to the gym with JP. all he does is chest, bi's & tri's 6 days a week. he'll beef you up

I have a single 18 And that makes me Tap out. So Honestly 2 18" subs is a whole different monster

you should do 3 or 4 18s

You might be using the wrong type of RCA's for that amp. There are 2 main types of RCA's and depending on your amp you need one style or the other. D'Amore engineering has a good video explaining this.

Keep kicking bass 💪🏻💪🏻

Jus an observation, but aren’t those recones? They look like they have spl surrounds, besides that love ur videos keep do’n ur thing

Aw man come on parker king of the budget builds gets a little sponsorship and notoriety now wants to start joking on skar come on man don't be that guy you better that that I remember there was a day you were the audio pipe king man don't be that guy there is to many of those guys out there now be parker not those guys

Why is deaf bounce sponsoring you and your advertising sundown. Either deaf bounce is desperate or they praise sundown

I bet that enclosure with the subs installed is a mfr to move. My back is hurting just thinking about it.

I can't stand the rattle trap stuff. I used double seals on .y hatch lid and it helped a whole lot. Definitely gotta use rubber on that license plate as well. It made my hatch hard to close but no more rattles!😂

Would love to give that amp to my friends kid.... But.. not doing face book

Pov you dont send your subs enough power😂 Edit: send them 8k each

I have 1 18 in a hhr pannel in a 7.4 cube box. Under powered but still nasty

Parker, use 0000 grade steel wool from a hardware store and use that to hand polish the box, it will make the finish smooth

You also gotta remember you're so dealing with Sundown now, and 18's at that 😎

We have BASSSSSSS!

Six 12's is 678sq in of cone area. Two 18's is 508.... So not that far apart in just shear cone area.

the more coats of poly the better the gloss will be enough coats and it will look like a piece of glass on top

I learned don't ever screw any electronics down to dynamat the foil that's on Dino Matt can ark anything out

Nice

I be watching all your stuff parker shit u be doin some Kool stuff

You should try upchurch hydias 7

Sounds like hurricane in after my house 😂😂😂😂

Ive been waiting for this giveaway to actually happen😭

Lol the fire extinguisher, this is how a true bass head plays it safe

I have Love for the 18” sub my whole life. My 1st build was (1) the Punch 15” sub with the Punch 45 and my 2nd build was also in my 89’ Honda CRX was (1) the Punch 18” sub and my the Punch 150 which was “Awesome” for the time in the early days and I built my single 18” enclosure in Votech carpentry 1 class in high school sophomore year on some of the finest shop equipment money could buy. Best looking enclosure I’ve ever built and I did fab “MANY” in High School (9-10 grade Carpentry 1 / 11-12 grade Carpentry 2 ) as my Legal hustle, I built boxes for the entire school & community known as the Enclosure King or “the Box Guy” putting all the local shops out of work in their shops on their enclosure builds because this was before pre-fab boxes. I built anything from (1) single sub enclosure to (8) 15” subs in bed of mini-trucks with snug tops, I made a small fortune in high school on subwoofer enclosures for 4 years in the “ Bass Beginnings” having a state of the art wood shop at my leisure at my Vo-tech. I started out with high end gun cabinets for guys and China Hutches for women and when subwoofers hit the South I never looked back! Rules were I had to turn in a Complete drawing for a grade & people had to provide ALL materials and deliver ALL materials on site (wood, screws, glue, carpet or paint) and my teacher was so cool telling me did Not want to see any money being exchanged at school. I took alot of time & I was REALLY proud of this slanted 18” single enclosure painted in black with neon splattered paint. After all this was the 80’s and it was a big hit at the time instead of carpet! I had a friend from local electronics store (Hooper’s Electronics) that worked out All my enclosure volume for sub sizes that was a mathematical genius so we had a winning combination as a team for I was the builder and I sent all my customers to him to buy Alpine, Rockford Fosgate ( the Punch), Kicker(subs only back then), MTX( the Red Terminator Series Amps & subs 🔥) & Linear Power was All the Rage back then!#thePunch#”80’sBestofTimes”#🔊@ParkertheBasshead

How come your sponsored by Def Bonce but are using Sundown subs

Are people outside of the United States able to go into the running to win the amp?

Making me miss my old setup watching this build, zv4 18's two Ampere 3800's strapped at 1ohm. Thanks to your channel and some others I'm dipping my toes back into audio after years wish my wallet luck lmao

You should review the new H series from Trinity audio.

How can ears be safe with such high pressure on the ear drums?

Nice give away. Big Jeff really stepping up!

I have a question???? Do you get to keep the things ppl sponsor to you ?

Where would I find the box specs, to build that box

So the bottom of the box looks like what?

Exciting to see this coming to a completed build.. I can already see in the very near future your bubble is going to pop and it will be a 4 18s wall build..on 2 marts 16ks

Dude in the future if your going to take the time to build a pretty box, instead of a black sharpie use a red and black paint pen to mark the ends of the bolts. Looks way better! Great job on the box my dude!

Parker you certainly could have done more to ensure the box had better fliw like rounding over the edges of the port sides kind of mimicking a kerf or even actually kerfed them inside and out and use 45's on each inside corner and then for $20 you could get a SMD terminal that looks alot better than a couple of shiny bolts lol this box was absolutely rushed and it shows them woofers deserve better

Might be the amp. Marts equipment causes whining/hissing in my experience. Had one of their DSP’s. Had to get rid of it. Expert Electronics does the same thing.

Wats the song name u playin when u float the nakin the first time

I feel like you should invert them

Just had a customer order from Big Jeff audio. He bought that exact five channel. I called them on the phone to confirm that item was in stock they were extremely polite and Very quick delivery! Jeff Audio for the Win!

That deaf bonce amp is fucking SEXY! Too bad i know I wont get it. LOL

i need a box so bad! lol my prefab is getting destroyed..
