The Loudest Subwoofer You Can Buy on AMAZON!! Reviewing the Massive Audio HippoXL122R 

I went to Massive Audio's own website, and their own rec. Ported enclosure specs. for this 12 inch, and it say's 1.8 cu. Ft. Net per 12, tuned @ 44Hz, with 28sq. In. Of port. I just looked on their site again, and they rec. (3.2 cu. Ft. Net per 15 inch!)

That should be downfiring so it has something to load off of.

Sorry, Im a Mmats guy, Juggs. 89.97 spl sensitivity 2000 continuous 20000 peak.

I like your pfp :))

Thanks!

@@HifiVega always welcome and always a pleasure! Take care good man! 😁🎶🕺

Got eem

@@HifiVega 👍🏻😂👍🏻

Got em Coach

Thanks!

I bet

Thanks

Normally I'd never reply to anyone, however, I have to say sir, work on your roleplaying, because that is a terrible lie. Don't get offended, learn from it, why did I immediately become suspicious? Your wife/girl thinks the same way bud, you're giving too much info that no one but you would care about, it makes it obvious that it's not true. Someday you'll actually buy a DC lvl6 15" and on that day, you'll realize that all those specs you memorized went right out the window and you couldn't tell me how heavy it is if I begged, because knowing how heavy it is, isn't relevant.

@chickenpotpie4045 wtf are you even saying? You think I'm lying about having dc audio level 6 15s and that I just waste my time making shit up for fuck faces like you who can't afford them to tell me there's no way I can? Get a fuckin life. And get a better job too you bum

​@@chickenpotpie40451st of your wife your married to a man! 2nd putting someone else down to TRY and make yourself feel a little better cause your a miserable POS must suck!

Thank you! Cheers!

I must have missed that one!

Couldn’t even push in the dust cap!

I think it def needs to be dyno’d and opened up to see!

Some of the best subs ever made

Thanks!

And seal the box?

The box would be at least 2 cubes 2 small and have 0 output

@@joshholden8561 Plus it would raise the tuning frequency.

I think you’re right and I def plan on doing another video in a different enclosure

how long did it take your subs to break in? I have two of these in a 6th order, and I am patiently waiting. LOL. I am running two Massive Nano EF4 amps. One per sub

Ive got a hippoXLR and its ok there are some things id change about it

The NVX has been very solid and outside of being kinda of inefficient I’ve had very few complaints

You plan on letting the gordo go for a price?

@@tonyjasper4721 no sir I have 15s I'm looking for two more I almost had two more a couple of months ago

Fo sho

I agree

Nah... they bottom out easily. This is a great burp sub, but it's definitely not a low-end monster.

@@Mr.NpK143 just my .02 cents, for daily, id have a box at 35hz, surely it can handle that.

@Blake-fz7ed I have friends with these subs and to be honest you'll get different opinions about its performance on the lows. But with that being said I have friends that generally use these subs in 40hz encas they sound awesome. Great sub though 👌

You guys are the best iwantfreestuff

This was ported, but need a lower tuning next time

I def wanna try it in another enclosure

What if he adds length to the dust outside of the box?

​@@BASSstarletYou can add port lengths to the inside or outside of the box. The only difference is if you add port length to the inside you displace some of the net air volume of the enclosure.

Audible physics, Morel, illusion Audio

Which their customer service is now garbage, since the company was sold.

No tge hippoXLR has a little bit bigger motor ive got one and aide by side with my buddys HDX4 and the HDX4 motor is smaller

A lil bling!

Fo sho

It won't get as low as my sundown xv3 12s or my psi or my dd or my fi I have a pair laying in my garage it's frequency is around 42 hertz it's best to tune it between 38 to 45 hertz it's made for rock and roll and spl its not a low hitting subwoofer at all sounds good if you looking for medium bass

@@ceciljones1248 you can make anything play low and sound good

4 cubes is too much. This is not a musically geared subwoofer. It is spl based.

@Chuck_Sanders He is going to blow it up I have two of them I don't really use them unless I'm looking for spl the frequency on them is 42 hertz so I would have to build a enclosure around 40 to 45 hertz I have a enclosure that is 32hertz and 4.64 cubic feet for two of them and the bass is not very deep sounds musical but not as low as sundown xv3 12s or my fi subwoofers

I don’t see why it wouldn’t

@@HifiVega will it resist ?

Ive got both and i say the xmaxxx is better

I think so and I can test that later on after it has more play time on it

Roughly the same

No not really

I don’t have any experience with the Skar subs that are in this price range or league, so I really couldn’t say. But that being said I’ve had decent experiences with Skar subs in my testing

I can’t remember if he did or not, but it’s likely he did.

He did a 5K and it did rated power plus a bit but nowhere near the 5k max power listed. Kinda pricey at $969. He has done a couple.

@@thecman26 Max rating lol... I hate it when Big D says "lets see if it can do that 5k" all the while knowing the amp is 2500rms and it exceeds it. I'm like DUDE! it can be confusing to viewers because he doesn't say it every time. Almost like he says it only for certain amps/brands. wink wink...

@@thecman26 I was thinking of the nano one he did because I had a nano at the time.

@@MurderousMindstatewhat videos are you watching because he's never done that. He clearly states what the rms is when he test amps that list a imaginary max rating

It sounds like you want more midbass drivers. Subwoofers are more for the lower range of frequencies.

I too like a lot of electronic and techno music. Yes, midbass is important for that kind of music, but there is also some really deep bass in there too. I had a Savard HiQ 12” in 2.5 cubic foot ported tuned to 27 hz and it went really good with my 10” midbass driver in a sealed enclosure.

What electrical? The fact it didn't give you same problems when at 1 ohm suggests the electrical wasn't strong enough to give you same results at .5

@@MurderousMindstateMy electrical was great. I had 2 alternators, putting out a total of 450 amps, @ 14.5 volts, 1-1100 Cca Deka battery up front, and 3 Group 31 Deka Agms in the back, right next to my amp. I had 4 runs of O.F.C, powers and grounds, ran all the way from the front to the back. The Massive Audio amp i had, was the D16,000.1= a.k.a.= "The Dragon", it did not have enough heatsink to keep it cool enough internally, while trying to make rated power= 8k r.m.s. @ 1/2 ohm. The best i clamped out of it was 6k, rising to 3/4 of an ohm, was the lowest imp. I could find. This Massive amp only had good enough cooling to support half of its power. It was the only quality amp i have used, that did this. My electrical was able to support 11k as clamped, on the term lab power probes, on different, more powerfull amplifiers, @ a later date.

DATs are wildly inaccurate. Manufacturers use klippel

how long does it take to break in ? I have two of these in a 6th order, and I am patiently waiting. LOL. I am running two the Massive Nano EF4 amps. One per sub

I have two 12s in my is200 lexus running a EF4 amp per sub in a 6th order bandpass .. Once I broke them in, I swore someone hit me with a gawd dam bat in the back of my head.. Lmao.. I remember exactly where I was at when it happen.. Lol

That's a hard question to answer bro... But when you do, YOU WILL KNOW

should i put a 5k or 8k on 2 of the massive hippo r?

😲

DAYYYUUUUMMMMMM😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@@dripcheghxulium4545 yeah it was all bad

What do you mean by distortion value?

That sub is on my list to try in the future

It’s at least in the top 5 lol

​@HifiVega Ohh I'm sure for it's size, as far as the loudest avaliable on Amazon I think that title goes to the Orion HCCA SPLX 181 😂

It’s the recommended box imo. Stayed tuned for the next video with this sub because I hope to get better results with another enclosure

Jus changed my mind

I agree

That subwoofer is not made for lows it's a spl subwoofer it's frequency is 42 hertz I have a pair and they sound OK at 32hertz but not like my sundown xv3 12s or my fi subwoofers this is why I buy different subwoofers to see which ones get the lowest and it only has a 22mm xmax

@@ceciljones1248 I've had "spl" subs that I tuned low that still did fairly well. The labels of "spl" or "sq" can be too generic or generalized. I'd personally try the low tuned box to hear what it'll do. 22xmax isn't bad in itself. What's the xmech? I'd model it first and go from there, but the real world testing is the best imo.

@piptyson5512 I use to tune my enclosures from 38 hertz to about 40 hertz for basically all kinds of music maybe a little hip hop but now I tune from 29 to 33 I don't like the mid sound of the subwoofer that's when a good sealed enclosure comes in affect now this is what I do to eliminate port noise I made a enclosure for my two fi hc 15s at 5.75 cubic feet I didn't have a choice?So what I did is put polyfill in the inside of the enclosure and it lowered the frequency and bye it being smaller I don't have a high impedance rise

🤮

Damn Not too bad @654

👍🏼

You get all that can’t nobody tell you nothing anymore lol

The beef Yanka

@@HifiVega I don't know man, that sounds like an adult film star.

I know y’all are gonna get a thousand likes on the video! Is it the chicken or the egg?

On the 5k for sure!

Merica!

Huh?

Correct. Most all spl subwoofers have horrible sensitivity... very inefficient. These are from the same build house as Toro, American Bass, Sound Qubed and so on. Everyone keeps saying to put it in a larger enclosure and tune low. Sure, if you want to unload the suspension and saturate the voice coil.
