That Sundown is an absolute monster. And in my mind if you're getting a sub that expensive for a matching system, another $100 is no big deal.

Both are very impressive...as much as the sundown wins, the deaf bonce is also no joke at all....I love the way it handled different frequencies without any pressure

[jasonneal]

Through the video, The Deafbonce just sounds cleaner and stronger

[mrheath]

Deaf Bonce for me. That German engineering is definitely a force. I have 3 Deaf Bonce 4518r 18s running on 3 Deaf Bonce 6k's. No complaints at all!

[DjDioxis]

Better or worse I have to say Deaf Bonce makes a hell of a sub for the money. Thanks for another great vid. 👍

Another dope video!!! Think I'm going DB on this one, I always get my sub suggestions from Parker, and my amplifier recommendations from Big D Wiz. They haven't led me wrong yet!!! 👍

Honestly love both subs. I'm a statistics and number kind of guy. I would go with the deaf bonce. 1db gain for 100$ more... granted you didnt have to push the sundown as hard as the DB to get the numbers. Sundown always conservatively rates their subs. DB seems to hit the nail on the head with their ratings. For the amount of power the sundown took it almost seems like you would have to give it more than what it is rated get the decibels you pulled from the spl meter. Sundown probably louder I bet the Deaf Bonce is more than likely more musical > spl with this particular sub

The Sundown basket is functional. Forced cooling. Best basket in car audio bar none. I really prefer the traditional gasket ring also. I build walls and invert sometimes. Sometimes it's the small things.

Yo parker..
I think before you start comp the deafbounce to win ..
Yo Parker you did a nice build for the show .. it reminded me of the 04 Daytona build off I won first place 6 hour build I did a wall dB platinum series subs and amps 2 12" 2 15" hit 168.36. I am doing my first build since 08 for my son graduating next year I'm doing a 07 Yukon got 16 highs and 8 mid subs, going to rebuild my 2 12" dB platinum series for bac and 2 8" pandas for the front...

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the true 5min power test! ABSOLUTELY AWSOME! CHannel is improving. Im subscribed now. 2 thumbs up Parker!

Savard states that their 12” HiQ subwoofer can handle 1700 watts rms, and significantly more with clean power. This is for a sub $300 subwoofer! I would love for you to test one to see if their claims are legit.

[robloblaw]

You're the man Parker! Savard HiQ is my current favorite sub, love to see you put one through the paces...

Bro u always smiling it's good to no u luv wat u do keep up the good work n keep bringing them videos

The extra 100 dollars goes too, supporting American workers and being able to grab a quick re-cone basically forever.

Those spots on the coil is definitely from clipping. Also xmax doesn't determine overall excursion whatsoever. Xmax is just a formula of linear excursion the coil staying within the gap and it's calculated by the winding width of the coil minus the top plate thickness divided by 2. So a 50mm tall coil windings with a 12.5 mm (1/2") top plate would be 18.75mm of xmax and same exact coil with a thicker 25mm (1") top plate Would be 12.5mm xmax. So the deaf bonce either has a shorter winding width or a thicker top plate or both, xmech is the mechanical limits of the motor basically to peak to peak, and I'd say likely the Sundown can move more peak to peak than the deaf bonce but that extra excursion may or may not noticably hurt sound quality whether that's better that comes down to the users opinion and what there looking for. There's people that say it's stupid but personally even tho sound quality is important the huge motors and insane excursion is what I look for in a sub...call me shallow lol, Bass is more than just function it's also a visual thing you want it to look badass too..., not many bassheads do not include form along with the function when choosing a sub!? They want both!!!!

I like that Sundown. I just like to be different. Everyone around here runs Sundown. I been watching Deaf Bonce and actually was going to buy a couple of 3012's but they were out of stock at the time, same goes for B2 Audio. So I decided on two DC Elite XL 12's. Now I'm getting ready to put a decent system in my daily. One of those would work. I have about 4 mono amplifiers with a range of different wattage that are capable of running .5 ohm. Already been on your Facebook page. Congrats on that. I'd like to see you test some DC subs. If I get a suburban next year I'm going to try and do some lvl6 DC subs. Keep doing what you're doing. Much love brother.

dude u really inspired me to get good car audio when i’m 16. i’m thinking a sundown 12 with a taramps amp and pioneer door speakers

[mkloudsql]

Xmax= coil travel while still in the magnet. Xmech= max total possable mechanical movement. Great video thanks JV 😎

[Frankiebonez]

Been a while since I've watched a video parker. Loving the reviews though bro, they keep getting better and better with time. Good stuff!

[DarrenTdd]

Great vid Parker! I just got on your fb page. I’m all about daily. I really liked the sound of that Db. Always wanted to try their subs. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
