Bro, inverted and inside the AC really The temps in actual cars are already 100 degrees Terrible, boring, no useful information Shame, u review decent items!
Comment from : @ryanesser5791

Love your videos but please do a review on WLLDSE-HCY 12s or WLLDSE-CVL 15s best budget sub hands down!!! I pushed mine for over a year and half! And still sold them for full price barely even broke in
Comment from : @SebastianS13bastian

What's crazy is that you don't even have the best Sub under $150 on here at all!!! WLLDSE-HCY12" $136 3,600 watts peak and yes I've ran them 3,500 watts rms a piece for way over a year and half! With 2 tramps HD3000s 2 ohm wired under 1 ohm around 75 ohm DAILY driver full tilt everyday! 340 AMP alternator and 50AH Lithium!!! The subs claim dual 1 but meter shows 66 so I guess that's better for more power I highly recommend these subs! IF YOU CAN FIND THEM???? THEYBUSED TO SELL ON AMAZON! THEY ARE SUNDOWN U KNOCKOFFS! THATS WHY THEY DONT MAKE THEM ANYMORE
Comment from : @SebastianS13bastian

Also you pulled thermometer away from sundown as the temp was spiking fast? Why
Comment from : @thewhitefamily5515

Yo it all depends on the box Your lowered power subs will be louder than the higher powered subs Plus some subs create massive dB on super large boxes they could burn out of ran for a long time but the dbs will be there I would like to see you build a box tuned to 25hz and do the exact same test and I bet $ you will be shocked on which subs will do the best
Comment from : @thewhitefamily5515

I about died when I seen that Scoche meter, still have an identical one from high school like 20 years ago lol
Comment from : @MikeMik86

What amplifier would you use with the Rockville
Comment from : @eliyates2402

Not looking for a shallow mount sub but would like the loudest and best sounding sub in an under 6-inch mount depth for Truck under seat sub boxes Most of these will not fit Probably have to go with 12-inch shallow mount or a 10-inch sub
Comment from : @spec1923

Sundowns like a soar dick, you can’t beat it
Comment from : @danielbrown558

I was wondering if any of those handheld inexpensive spl meters were any good and if they were worth buying for people boomin on a budget If Vega is using them maybe they are, even if they aren't that accurate I guess they would be useful to compare stuff relatively, right?
Comment from : @SnubBarracuda

What are your thoughts on jl audio? Still a contender in today's market??
Comment from : @Rizafoolwitit

I plan on painting bedliner on my jeep, so the Rockville meets the eye test (other than the name?) Lol
Comment from : @Rizafoolwitit

Sundown proven tough, they have the best coils in the game
Comment from : @SATANALEX9

Big D Wiz, Exo, and EMF Audio put rated rms power to the Rockville K-9 sub every one of the coils fried on those subs, it’s a piece of junk
Comment from : @SATANALEX9

Thoughts on the skar svr?
Comment from : @youridol

Rockville just do better on K9 subs far as rms please!
Comment from : @raymondrespress50

This didn't age very wellRockville K9
Comment from : @sana-cm7oc

How would these stack up against the fosgate p3? Do you think better or worse
Comment from : @donniegray2288

Can anyone recommend the best sub for a bandpass box???
Comment from : @roz4747

I've seen vids of those Rockville blowing at rated power
Comment from : @shawnsanderson3695

You left out Crossfire C3 V3
Comment from : @zakkcooper

Your in depth test is what i enjoy the most from your vids You throwing up gang signs constantly is pretty humorous too Im pickin man Keep up the great work 😎👍👍
Comment from : @cartruck1070

Sundown all the way These tests are cool to watch It’s a fun test but doesn’t mean anything really There are too many variables
Comment from : @bpintogsxr1000

Watch EXO'S video on the K9 Its garbage Buy the Sundown Can't go wrong
Comment from : @bass305-HCCA

Lcs definitely
Comment from : @zaccharris7806

Should of thrown the JL Audio 12" WV03-4 Its in that price range and they claim its best sub in that price class Id like to see how it compares with these subs
Comment from : @JM-im1iu

The only issue I have with this test and you brought it up yourself is the fact that not all of those speakers work well in that airspace so to me it's not a fair test
Comment from : @timcouch5005

What is the runner-up
Comment from : @ezraroberson6296

You can hear the plumbing in the Credence and Sundown the most

Comment from : @gaellemelloul7367

Would've like to see the crossfire c3 in the mix
Comment from : @darnell1320

Excellent video thanks for posting!
Comment from : @The_Establishment_Is_Satanic

Would these be over 120db inside the cabin of suv/car?
Comment from : @James-id5xq

I bet in the same category as all these other subs $150 or under $86 Walmart power acoustic Gothic series the black an blue in color one I feel would be awesome to put head to head test 12 inch version's of thebr power acoustik Gothicbr versus brRockville K9 brThis would Be a good match
Comment from : @soundbeast39

If you keep the RMS to 500 watts, the Rockville should be good, I think they over-speced the build by a little bit I honestly like the Savard of all of them, it's a nice return of an old school company
Comment from : @crazylarryjr

If you had to choose 1 of these subs which would you choose? A JL audio 12w0v3, Rockville k9, or Skar sdr12
Comment from : @jordank7685

I must say that I appreciate your honesty I know that was hard to say rockville won lol
Comment from : @ericwatson9771

I think you have the e v 3

Up hifivega, am new to the channel, great video
Comment from : @i-84grow49

Is your Rockville the V1 or V2?
Comment from : @Fazz73jr

Would love to see the 5 min test Good video and looking forward to seeing more
Comment from : @markstrutton1075

I bought the Rockville DBcomp5 and been running it on a pair of SAv2s But I just bought a Honda CRV and been thinking of walling it and running the DBcomp5 on 6 K9 12s and just watch the haters hate 😂
Comment from : @bradgilpin9740

I've spent 30 minutes looking for the T/S params for the Cadence Ultra Drive speakers Can someone link a pic of the spec sheet? Thanks in advance
Comment from : @timweis6951

Loved the review, thank you brI want to see the 5 minute RMS test, but didn't Kicker say they do the RMS test for 4 hours? Huge difference in Quality testing from a manufacturer
Comment from : @MisterEE100

I cant wait to see what the best one is!!!
Comment from : @MatinaRose

I'm thinking about buying a K6 that is "CEA rated" for 500 watts and powering it at 250-300 watts Do you know anything about them? How do they compare to K9s?
Comment from : @stevensmith1881

Amazing review and keep this up Next is 200 dollar shallow 12 shootout and 300 dollar subwoofer shoot out
Comment from : @JeffAdairKTM530

Coming from guy that uses CCA!! SMH lol good video Vega
Comment from : @jasonmorgan6245

I still can't get a hold of that box builder in our area
Comment from : @leonardslade903

Nice video Vega but I really would have liked a more thorough review on how the subs sounded sq wise and maybe if some were being played to their limits or if some you think would do better on more power The rockville and sundown are both intriguing to me but I would definitely like to see if they can handle the power over 5 minutes at 600rms which I have on tap
Comment from : @paquesepas6696

Everyones been giving me shit about the K9s but honestly I do like mine, I get that you might not be able to put full power but you do get that bang for your buck
Comment from : @nycanimal691

I'm very interested in seeing the longer test
Comment from : @realoutlawdave

Hope to see another group of 6 budget sub shootout
Comment from : @20hztremor

Emf audio did a full rms test on that rockville sub and it FRiED!!
Comment from : @carsonday5748

I could really hear the difference of the Savard Rap from the othersThe bass sounded deeper and more solid$30 more over others is worth it for sound quality in this price rangeOf course proper enclosures for each might change things up in sound quality
Comment from : @FangOfTruth

@HifiVega Well put together video For comparison purposes can you tell us the RMS watts used to test each woofer for each test? We appreciate your feedback and there just may be a new improved version being released soon
Comment from : @rockvillesam3772

At least you said the K9 wasn’t rated for the fake CEA rating Rockville uses I’d still take the SD all day long just for the cooling engineering
Comment from : @sfv1001

Best shallow mount next?
Comment from : @gsppuffer

Too bad the Pioneer TS-3003D4 isn't made any longer, I think it would have dominated this testbrbrI paid $83 a piece for mine and have been pushing them with a CAB 16001 since the amp was released, they truly are the best budget sub
Comment from : @timmturner

Not surprised based on the specs from last video Good shoot-out Hope you get the likes for the contest :)
Comment from : @TylerStout

wwwkickercom/solo-x-family Btw waz up with this guy?
Comment from : @williamkillingsworth2619

I had a K9 it was ok on low power My RE121 at 3/4 volume an you would smell coil before a full song was over I sold it awhile back Not sure if the kid I sold it to still has it Now I have a T3 T2000 motor with custom recone Nice little upgrade lol

Comment from : @juliawatsica2863

Bro I definitely agree with you you can’t beat the price for the value
Comment from : @BigChris76

Please burn that k9 down for 5 minutes no way it will make it threw it
Comment from : @michaelhemric5228

You test subs well dude! See if the k9 can last though Shipping on savard subs is pricey Did they all have 3 inch coils? That’s my only real question Good job man!
Comment from : @workingclassperson2124

Did you just say what I think you said ??? That’s it, I’ve had it😤I’m prepping the roast for the slow cookerThis is bonkers🤥 How in the hell could you not update the AMM1 before this upload?? 👹 br✌🏽&🔉br😬
Comment from : @3RDERA

One of the best cheap subs used to be the pioneer ts-w3003d4, you couldve got 2 of them for less than $150, I paid $70 for mine on amazon and it slammed for a $70 sub! They are mostly sold out now, skar sdr was close to it but I feel like the pioneer had better build quality than the sdr, the rockford p3 used to be like $125 on amazon too
Comment from : @cjon24s69

Very comprehensive and well done! Already north of 2k views so brace your household for a lot more testing and a couple stinky voice coils
Comment from : @elfuego4341

Seems legit I was thinking Savard and Sundown would be the last two standing but can't argue with hands on non bias test brGood video
Comment from : @craftchest

What frequency were you using for the spl testing?
Comment from : @PURESOUND4

Good for Rockville Those poor guys needed a good ohnest uplifting video Now I hope they dont get to drunk celebrating and burn down the warehouse!
Comment from : @reeferdogbassin7909

Not going to roast simply because I've actually considered these subs but curious if they would handle being powered by 1200 at 1 ohm I currently power to 8 in Vegas with this power an wow they get loud for 8 in That being said they are definitely on the edge of no longer being functional at that load If like to see the 5 minute test on this rockville!
Comment from : @nickstalhood5380

man idk what it is about you but i just like you not in a weird way something about you tho is just cool i don't know what it is
Comment from : @Aaron-yw2pw

Crazy that you have to justify your pick because of the many stans or there Man it is what it is Rockville wins I'm not a fan of budget priced dime a dozen brands, that's just me but all the basing from sundown fans skar audio fans etc To me is just pathetic All these brands have good value for their price point even the Rockville Don't worries bout the heaters Vega You did your job and the proof is in the pudding Or video Great job as always brother
Comment from : @angelvip2474

I gotta agree to disagree wif ya!!brI had the E series at the top Rockville at number 2 And the sub I'd most likely run in my own car the rap v2brBut as always your on point with the vid Cant wait for the next shootout! Ya know we gotta get a sony in on that one
Comment from : @trecedaves3159

LOVE YOU BROTHER BUT ROCKVILLE DOE SUNDOWN DCSOUNDLABCOM
Comment from : @johnalenwork53

Great review Glad you tested the savard Love those guys!!!
Comment from : @omarmurillo5323

NICE!!!
Comment from : @74midwestbass74

Great video Supporting Rockville after how they reacted would be tough but I think you’re dead on about the k9 I wouldn’t complain if I got one in a giveaway though 😉
Comment from : @gregblau8082

Need to see some vehicle testing ! Great vid brother
Comment from : @CustomAudiobyJD

Try the SKAR woofers in the same price range, they will surprise you
Comment from : @kevincobb5182

Had a rockville k915d4 on 800 and it couldnt take iti have my e15s on 800 rms each and it takes it
Comment from : @MyBlowncobra

Why the sundown lcs wasn’t on there lol i’ve tried most of them subs you have I think the LCS price wise you can’t beat it
Comment from : @thomasstgermain5778

Yall people better like this video! There's some broke-arse people like myself who needs one!
Comment from : @CherrySquishee

Outstanding information, thanks MrVega
Comment from : @edwardautrey3671

Great video my man, we all enjoy these and please keep it up All great choices, but would like to see the Skar SDR in this the Rockville subs are decent subs they just need to be upfront and truthful bout the ratings, hence a lawsuit I've owned few equipment from Rockville, not bad Over all great testing and extremely helpful for us, the consumer Many blessings
