We have 2 RS Gold v1 12's and are very happy with them. They hammer on a Taramps Smart3 in our Nissan Armada. Worth every penny. I can't imagine how these are. Bigger and better.
I know what you mean by smooth sounding woofers. I just got an SSA Evil 15” and that things sounds amazing while also getting loud! I love me a 15” subwoofer with a low FS in a big ported box with low tuning. Once you have something that digs real low like that you can never have it any other way. I haven’t had a sub that sounds as good as this one since I got rid of my Incriminator Audio Lethal Injection.
I love your videos because you have a variety of different subs on your channel. I wish you would have put the V2 subs in the same box as the V1 subs so we had a better comparison.
The v2 take an abnormally large cutout. So I did not want to ruin the other box. If I cut it I could fit nothing else in it. So that’s why I made a custom box for them only. Otherwise I would have used same box. Thanks so much for watching inappropriate it. But I did make box specs same in the v2 boxes they are just layer out differently.
I've got two resilient sounds team 18's on a crescendo bc17k in a 6th order with a total of around 25 cubes. I've been slapping on these pretty hard for almost 3 yrs. Resilient sounds makes a great subwoofer. I'm about to test out their 6.5 pro audio speakers soon.
These subs seemed like they needed a Smart 8k to really start getting down. The 5k didn't really seem to push them very hard. I know they were brand new and stiff, but it just seemed like they wanted more power to really get movin to xmax. It's a little misleading rating these at 1500 RMS and actually needing more like 6k RMS to really get to thier sweet spot. It sure seems like the coils and everything else can handle 3k each. I wonder if having them wired down to half ohm would had made a difference? I doubt it though. Still, you might had broken into the 149's with it wired at .5 ohm. I still think these subs need a Smart 8k on them to really get the most out of the setup.
My 2 v2 12s is taking a big boss 8 like it’s nothing . This sub is way better than my platinums they most definitely rated them at 1500 rms cause they didn’t want there “ lower “ tier sub too have the same rms rating as there plat but the plat should really be like 25-3k rms
Yes with them running on a smart 5 being WAY overpowered the 4 cuft per sub was a little much . But if you run them on a more normal power amp 4 cuft each will be perfect. So it just depends on how much Power you’re going to try to feed them . But actually the box is fine they over powered . But still did pretty well even though they are 1000 w rms each. Generally 4 cuft is great for a 15” sub. But if you’re going to grossly overpower, then yes, you should reduce box size to help with power handling.
I was thinking the same thing. I think the 1500 RMS is a little misleading when the subs want more like 4k-5k each. You might be able to put a smart 5k on each sub and be fine lol.
Sorry my man wasn't trying to be a dick, I just got into a lot of heated discussions with amateurs the color has nothing to do with the quality of the product case and point Rockville Punisher V2
Nice man 👍 I've only seen them in spl setups which I'm not interested in. Nice enclosures dude. How thick plexi are you using? Been meaning to ask like forever 😂 Highly appreciated ty sir
Hey I’m curious since you have the armada also if you know of a existing grommet, that I can run a 0 ga wire through the fire wall, and if not how/where did you run yours!? I see you have alt power but I’m assuming you still have power ran to it from front, for alternator purposes!? Pls any help would be much appreciated! Thanks bro and keep up good work! Enjoy the videos
People say these gold v2 are just a platinum v1 with new baskets. Aside from the 8 layer coil and 9.25 spider vs the 10 in spider on the gold v2. Are these golds any better than the platty v1 in any way
I can check my notes and let you know the vxf and ts gold motor force but haven’t tested an avatar yet. I will tell you the ts gold v2 are freaking epic. And the vxf are xlnt. Just depend on what you are looking for and the type of bass you like because they are very different.
@@HiFiVector well I’m hoping I like em because I have the 12” gold v2 being delivered later today 😁 I’m excited and nervous at the same time! I hope I didn’t just make a 350 mistake lol I’m pretty happy with my current setup but I’ve been wanting a ti frame with a 10” spider landing and 300oz motor for a long time coming 🤞🏼
I don’t really have a list. it’s difficult to say because each sub has a different sound characteristic than others so a lot of it just depends on what sounds good to your ears, so I have many favorites but their favorites for different reasons because of the way they sound some of my favorites are very tight dry and clean. Some of my favorites are very warm, smooth etc. sub sounds so different that sometimes it’s hard to have a clear winner because it’s personal preference and the distinctive sound.
I have a dumb question. Would 2 platinum 15s sound as good as 2 gold 15s on 5k Watts? Or would the platinums need more power to get moving? Or can I just look at their sensitivity rating and tell? Sorry I’m gonna buy the RS but torn bn the gold and platinum
It’s not dumb at all it’s a good question. You would be better off getting the golds on a 5k. The plattys on a 5k would not be enough to wake them up fully where 5k on the golds would a good setup even though the gold can even take a little more.
@@HiFiVector thanks, that’s what I was thinking. I wanted the platinum bc the v2 is on sale and has an all carbon fiber cone and dust cap and looks beautiful but I don’t feel like upgrading amps yet so I’m “stuck” with the gold lol
I’m just using a DMM and the clip monitor that comes with it! It’s on a 2013 Nissan armada platinum with the Bose factory system! I used a LOC the 1st was the kicker with the remote out and now I’m using the PAC LP7-2 bc It allows me to set the gain on the LOC bc I thought that it was causing clipping bc the kicker one wasn’t adjustable and I thought I wasn’t running the right Volts (rca) in that my amp called for!

@@HiFiVector I need 1 them custom boxes you have!? LoL they are really sharp and love the color combo with the speaker/box & plexi! I would Throw some red leds inside or get the plexi engraved! Thanks for the reply
Do u mind sharing your box specs? Cubic feet, tuning, and port area? I just got my gold v2 15s in the mail today and I’m excited to try building my first box for them. I’ve been playing around on winisd and sub box pro and I’ve settled on 6.5 net cubes for 2 subs, and I’m going for 16 in of port area per cube so about 104 square inches of port area and I’m going to tune it to 33…thoughts?
8 cuft 100sq in port 34hz. If you are going to over power them 6.5 cuft will be good but 8cuft will sound better but will handle a little less power because of the increased net volume. These subs love big boxes. But your specs will be good as well.
I just purchased 2 10 inch V2 gold series. I'll be running them off a DB Apocalypse 5000W mono @ 1ohm. What size speaker wire would you recommend 12 or 10 gauge? For past builds, I would use 8 gauge but prices are way up for wire and everything is pretty close together so any recommendations on wire size?
If you are doing a separate run to each sub from the amp 12 gauge is fine if you are running only one cable from amp to both speakers 10 gauge will work.
Can you do a review on the new version cerwin Vega ST152D stroker series? Not quite a budget sub but I hear they bang and might be making a comeback. Thought it be cool to see you test them out.
@@HiFiVector ok. I was wondering if it would push them hard enough and I'm sure because of rise they wouldn't really see a full 1500w each. Also, im a sealed box kind of guy. You think they'll still do great sealed?
@@HiFiVector another question. Can I wire two dual 4s in series and a dual 2 in series for a 2ohm load? Can I also wire two dual 2s in series and one dual 4 in parallel for a 1ohm load? Someone said I couldn't do either of these set ups. But I wanted to get another opinion.
Dude i order a box from gp and they screwed me , i asked for a 4cu and they senme 3.25cu plus they didn't send the birch double baffled and the cut out is so small that i can't screw the Subwoofer in on the bottom or top. Now im trying to send it back and hope they don't screw me , oh and it took 5 wee to get a box that is useless. I like low bass what box do you recommend. Thanks
I was wanting these subs and this video pushed me over the edge and I’m ordering these in the next few days. My only problem is Does anyone know why they don’t have a gasket on them anymore? Does the company just expect everyone to buy their own gasket material to install these? It just seems bizarre to me. Do any other subs do that too, not have a gasket and u have to buy it separate and stick it on yourself?
@@HiFiVector do you think turning my box to 25-26hz is too low? It’s for 2gold 15 v1 but I have 2 v2 coming. I might or use the same box for v2 later. I’m interested in your thoughts.
Yea in my opinion that’s way too low. These subs already hit the lows insane even with 33 to 35 hz tuning. So if you go lower you aren’t gaining much but you are losing the bass that’s more audible n the musical zone. The sundown x series like this as well and actually sound better in the 32 to 35hz range.
I just bought one 15 and don't know what box to put them in , I mean they say in the website 3.5cu but that's not possible. I'll go for now with 4. 25cu at 32hz
I’m thinking I’m going to do a blow through on my Tacoma. I have a JP23V2 (3300 watts rms) what would be the best match for the RS subs in a 4th order? 2 gold 12” v1’s? 1 platinum or gold v2 12”?
Yo hifi id really like if u add more footage of the subs flexing on various different songs. We wanna see those bad boys really move. Also your bass doesn't translate thru the camera as well as some of the other sub reviewers out there. Idk if that's the camera or mic or what. But just offering feedback. The more flex u give us and the better u can make the bass translate thru the vid the more exciting it is for the viewers.
They literally knocked off the emf banhammer woofer design down to the T especially on the 12s, pretty sure they went thru the same vendor that I’m familiar with in china
@evilinside5984 I'm just shocked I see alot of ppl with a suv with similar setups doing almost 150's. And like u said I got a smaller vehicle so it should be easier for me lol. My box is 4.5cf tuned to 31hz. It's half a cube too small but it's the biggest I could get to fit. Another thing, the my vehicle peak is 33hz so I get that number at a decently low frequency. I got it set to smash lows lol.
@@1ohmwrecker yeah not a bad score for a set of 12's. I haven't watched any of your videos lately (work) have you got a high output alt or any lithium? I always like your Mercedes.. so many times I almost bought a white one just like yours.
I have a single 15 gold v2 and taramps big boss 3, I’m having trouble with clipping! I’m not able to touch the gain b4 it wants to start to clip! Any suggestions, anything helps, thanks! I barely touch the gain and it starts to clip, I should mention I have the dvc 2 ohm wired to 4ohm for half the power from the amp!
I like them besides the metal gasket ring. Much prefer the old rubber gaskets. With so many companies swapping to these metal gaskets that tells me the rubber ones must be more expensive to produce
Makes sense because most rubbers are made from crude oil unless it’s recycled rubber, with the high costs of crude oil recently I can see fabricating a metal ring would be cheaper
@@BrianWaller-qe7grRubber is made from trees my guy, but still, op is correct. Always cheaper to not include the gasket and make sealing the subwoofer the buyers responsibility. 1 less part to source, transport, and pay for. Also less shipping weight per subwoofer. It all adds up.
That's my pet peeve with cutting holes for subwoofers. 8 inch subwoofer should have 7 inch cut 10 inch subwoofer should have 9 inch cut 12 inch subwoofer should have 11 inch cut and so on.
I just got a set of these exactly like yours and got them in a box I built to the specs on the website. You are absolutely right about how smooth they are! Almost scary smooth, there's no mechanical indicators to tell when you're giving them too much, just smells and heat lol. That being said, I'm having a hard time finding a good range to run them at without overheating. Using a Taramps 5k bass. They sound amazing, though.
Yeah, there’s a little bit of resemblance, but I have both and I’ll tell you they sound totally different. They’re completely different subs but honestly, both are some of my favorite subs so they’re both great.
I’m him gonna make a drinking game every time there is a comment about the basket.. wtf care about the basket? It goes inside the box.. long as it supports the motor.. allows for a big piston and long throw then nothing else matters? What I see from v1 to v2 in this is looks like mostly they increased the mechanical travel.. as such they have to increase the motor force a little so it can overcome the air compression to actually make use of that new travel.. That’s the only part of the basket that means jack. The reason the cutout is larger is because in order to get more travel wo tearing spiders or surrounds you can only do that by increasing the diameter of the spider. In order to increase thr the backer has to have larger diameter and as such larger cutout. Of the cut out was the same.. it would just be a branded v1 as a v2 lol😂. Not funny tbh cause that is actually what a lot of companies actually do. Clearly need more power they hardly moving.. And for what it’s worth.. idk how anyone that has an equinox (which isn’t a truck it’s a crossover lol.. doesn’t replace that center dash.. worst design of any automobile ever.. looks more like a spaceship with all those buttons.. if I owned one the first thing would be like a 14” tablet to replace all that.. Odd that’s the only vehicle they make that has that console.. the traverse which is very similar just little larger has a standard setup..

Yes, they can talk more but it should do pretty good.
I just purchased 2 10 inch V2 gold series. I'll be running them off a DB Apocalypse 5000W mono @ 1ohm. What size speaker wire would you recommend 12 or 10 gauge? For past builds, I would use 8 gauge but prices are way up for wire and everything is pretty close together so any recommendations on wire size?
If you are doing a separate run to each sub from the amp 12 gauge is fine if you are running only one cable from amp to both speakers 10 gauge will work.
That LTO bank how much is something like that
Check out my how to build an LTO video for information and there’s also links in the description you can check out for the cost
How are they on the low notes?
Amazing
Can you do a review on the new version cerwin Vega ST152D stroker series? Not quite a budget sub but I hear they bang and might be making a comeback. Thought it be cool to see you test them out.
I’ll keep that in mind thank you
Will two 12in version of these hit hard with a Surge PL-3000.1 at 1ohm?
Although they can take more power , Yes they will work with the PL3000 just fine.
@@HiFiVector ok. I was wondering if it would push them hard enough and I'm sure because of rise they wouldn't really see a full 1500w each. Also, im a sealed box kind of guy. You think they'll still do great sealed?
@@HiFiVector another question. Can I wire two dual 4s in series and a dual 2 in series for a 2ohm load? Can I also wire two dual 2s in series and one dual 4 in parallel for a 1ohm load?
Someone said I couldn't do either of these set ups. But I wanted to get another opinion.
What's the size of the box please, I just bought one of this 15 v2 and don't know what box to get. Thinking of doing a 4 25 cu tuned to 32 hz
I used 4cuft 34 hz. But 4.25 and 31hz will be great as well. These subs total hammer the lows so I like 34 because it gives them a little more up top.
Dude i order a box from gp and they screwed me , i asked for a 4cu and they senme 3.25cu plus they didn't send the birch double baffled and the cut out is so small that i can't screw the Subwoofer in on the bottom or top. Now im trying to send it back and hope they don't screw me , oh and it took 5 wee to get a box that is useless. I like low bass what box do you recommend. Thanks
Awesome review!
Thank you!
Do you think these would handle a jp63-83?
No they would burn up. I have platinum 12’s and I had to turn the amp way down because the 12 Plat’s started smoking. I have a JP43 at 1ohm.
@@MrILLryderyour box must be wrong for them
I was wanting these subs and this video pushed me over the edge and I’m ordering these in the next few days. My only problem is Does anyone know why they don’t have a gasket on them anymore? Does the company just expect everyone to buy their own gasket material to install these? It just seems bizarre to me. Do any other subs do that too, not have a gasket and u have to buy it separate and stick it on yourself?
Yes it’s normal a lot of subs do not have any gasket material under the lip of the mounting ring.
That OMG got me rolling man!!😂😂😂
The gold v1 15’s were in a 8 cube box. What’s the size of these?
4cuft for each sub. I built the specs the same. Just made separate so easier to move.
@@HiFiVector do you think turning my box to 25-26hz is too low? It’s for 2gold 15 v1 but I have 2 v2 coming. I might or use the same box for v2 later.
I’m interested in your thoughts.
Yea in my opinion that’s way too low. These subs already hit the lows insane even with 33 to 35 hz tuning. So if you go lower you aren’t gaining much but you are losing the bass that’s more audible n the musical zone. The sundown x series like this as well and actually sound better in the 32 to 35hz range.
Do you have a link for that bank?
Check out my how to build an LTO video it has links to everything in the description
I just bought one 15 and don't know what box to put them in , I mean they say in the website 3.5cu but that's not possible. I'll go for now with 4. 25cu at 32hz
4.25 net is good I like 34hz with them but 32 will be fine as well.
Any word on the platinum v2s? Awesome video and review dude.
Thank you man! I haven’t heard anything on the platinum v2’s but I’m also not affiliated with resilient sounds so I don’t have any secret 411 :)
$410 and up right now on amazon !
Wait did you have the SPL test at 1ohm
Yes final 1 ohm
@@HiFiVector that’s badass
They are soooo bad ass :)
@@HiFiVector can you test box rise?
I’ll try
How are these in a sealed box? I’m going for SQ
Just buy stereo integrity SQL's. They dig deep in a ported box. I had SQL 15"s in ported and I've never heard subs get that low in a sealed box.
@@girthquake9655how much power, what size box. I'm interested in then si subs
@@jayrands5380 cab-22, 5ft³ box 2.5ft³ per chamber.
@@girthquake9655 ty. Ever meter it?
@@jayrands5380 No. Don't expect them to get as loud as a ported box. The frequency is very linear in a sealed box.
I’m thinking I’m going to do a blow through on my Tacoma. I have a JP23V2 (3300 watts rms) what would be the best match for the RS subs in a 4th order? 2 gold 12” v1’s? 1 platinum or gold v2 12”?
If it were me with that setup I would do 2 v1 subs on that amp.
Yo hifi id really like if u add more footage of the subs flexing on various different songs. We wanna see those bad boys really move. Also your bass doesn't translate thru the camera as well as some of the other sub reviewers out there. Idk if that's the camera or mic or what. But just offering feedback. The more flex u give us and the better u can make the bass translate thru the vid the more exciting it is for the viewers.
Thanks for the feedback I’ll keep that in mind
@@HiFiVectoryeah more demo video of subs = more affiliate link sales..
really looks as the avatar stu
I WANT IT 🎉
They literally knocked off the emf banhammer woofer design down to the T especially on the 12s, pretty sure they went thru the same vendor that I’m familiar with in china
😮 my Xv3 12's on a smart 5k does a 147.6 in my car! wow!
@evilinside5984 I'm just shocked I see alot of ppl with a suv with similar setups doing almost 150's. And like u said I got a smaller vehicle so it should be easier for me lol. My box is 4.5cf tuned to 31hz. It's half a cube too small but it's the biggest I could get to fit. Another thing, the my vehicle peak is 33hz so I get that number at a decently low frequency. I got it set to smash lows lol.
@@1ohmwreckerdid you hit a 150 yet?
@jayrands5380 I assume if I get an 8k I would pretty simply. But as of now no. But this summer change is coming... 💪
@@1ohmwrecker yeah not a bad score for a set of 12's. I haven't watched any of your videos lately (work) have you got a high output alt or any lithium? I always like your Mercedes.. so many times I almost bought a white one just like yours.
@jayrands5380 yeah 300a autotech and headway lithium bank. Gonna go to the scib banks tho.
Great video❤
Thank you!!
I have a single 15 gold v2 and taramps big boss 3, I’m having trouble with clipping! I’m not able to touch the gain b4 it wants to start to clip! Any suggestions, anything helps, thanks! I barely touch the gain and it starts to clip, I should mention I have the dvc 2 ohm wired to 4ohm for half the power from the amp!
What are you using to measure clipping? What vehicle? What electrical?
Wire the amp to 1 ohm and have a lot better dynamic headroom. Clipping is worse for the subs than overpowering them for short bursts.
What am I missing? My gravity g7-12d2 are 4800watts but they don't look like these subs and are cheaper 🤔 don't get me wrong they BUMP
These look evil. Could you imagine a pair of 18's .. might trigger a tsunami..lol
CAN YOU TRY SOMETHING NEW LIKE 1 10 WITH A 15 PASSIVE RADIATOR SUBWOOFER 😶🌫️
Remind me a lot of the avatar
Nice
Try dc audio
Version 1 is great yet to yea version 2
I like them besides the metal gasket ring. Much prefer the old rubber gaskets. With so many companies swapping to these metal gaskets that tells me the rubber ones must be more expensive to produce
Makes sense because most rubbers are made from crude oil unless it’s recycled rubber, with the high costs of crude oil recently I can see fabricating a metal ring would be cheaper
@@BrianWaller-qe7grRubber is made from trees my guy, but still, op is correct. Always cheaper to not include the gasket and make sealing the subwoofer the buyers responsibility. 1 less part to source, transport, and pay for. Also less shipping weight per subwoofer. It all adds up.
That's my pet peeve with cutting holes for subwoofers. 8 inch subwoofer should have 7 inch cut 10 inch subwoofer should have 9 inch cut 12 inch subwoofer should have 11 inch cut and so on.
Yep why can’t there be a standard across the board
Almost getting to 150 db. Hell yeah that set up is way oast just a daily set up u got 5k watts just for. Bass
5k is the new daily nowadays, thought u knew.
I’ll just stick with my Vxfs until I decide to spend more on a sub of my choice!
I just got a set of these exactly like yours and got them in a box I built to the specs on the website. You are absolutely right about how smooth they are! Almost scary smooth, there's no mechanical indicators to tell when you're giving them too much, just smells and heat lol. That being said, I'm having a hard time finding a good range to run them at without overheating. Using a Taramps 5k bass.
They sound amazing, though.
Yep they are soooo smooth I love the way they sound.
Overheating? On 1 5k?
had the same problem on the v1 15s, use EQ to tune out the higher frequency.. much less heat
@@dead6last did you have them inverted?
👍💪💪🔊
I have the gold V.1 so I know the v.2 SLAPPS
Nice 1
Too bad they don't make them in 8s
I know, I wander why they don’t?
Looks like a B2 subwoofer from a far imo ....
Yeah, there’s a little bit of resemblance, but I have both and I’ll tell you they sound totally different. They’re completely different subs but honestly, both are some of my favorite subs so they’re both great.
1 10 with 500 rms with a 15 passive radiator subwoofer 👁
Tbh this looks like a copy of the rage xl v2 that just came out . I have the v1 but it has a fatter surround and not as deep .
Need more power
Wow I love it but he needs a Taramps smart 8k.
I’m him gonna make a drinking game every time there is a comment about the basket.. wtf care about the basket? It goes inside the box.. long as it supports the motor.. allows for a big piston and long throw then nothing else matters?
What I see from v1 to v2 in this is looks like mostly they increased the mechanical travel.. as such they have to increase the motor force a little so it can overcome the air compression to actually make use of that new travel..
That’s the only part of the basket that means jack.
The reason the cutout is larger is because in order to get more travel wo tearing spiders or surrounds you can only do that by increasing the diameter of the spider. In order to increase thr the backer has to have larger diameter and as such larger cutout. Of the cut out was the same.. it would just be a branded v1 as a v2 lol😂.
Not funny tbh cause that is actually what a lot of companies actually do.
Clearly need more power they hardly moving..
And for what it’s worth.. idk how anyone that has an equinox (which isn’t a truck it’s a crossover lol.. doesn’t replace that center dash.. worst design of any automobile ever.. looks more like a spaceship with all those buttons.. if I owned one the first thing would be like a 14” tablet to replace all that..
Odd that’s the only vehicle they make that has that console.. the traverse which is very similar just little larger has a standard setup..
I would never ever flip my subwoofer upside down resting it on its surround DONT DO THIS PEOPLE
You've obviously never had a good sub with a nice, thick, deep roll surround.
Modernish woofers=shiton of watts to get loud
That’s true!
That’s a horrible fkn design wtf
You obviously don't know shit and haven't heard these in person.
LMMFAO!! 🤣🤣😂😂
🦫 yea especially the amps. I have the senergy syn65.1 I’d like to see the numbers
