The best 12 inch subwoofer for under $300? YouTuber Parker Dacchile helps us decide!

What if you had a limited budget but wanted to make over 130 decibels? You'd have to find the best bang for your buck, and you'd have to make the most of it.

Parker Dacchile wants to let you know what single 12 inch subwoofer can handle the power to deliver the music. 

He reviews each with the following criteria:

  • Subwoofer Specs
  • A quick look at the build quality
  • SPL test
  • RMS Power Test
  • SQ listening test

The subwoofers under review are the following:

Results? Well, I'm not going to give it away, you need to watch his video! 

(I will say he did get a little spicy and caused the spider to come separated from the basket assembly with one of the woofers under test. And when I say a little spicy, I mean he threw 10,000w through the coil. Needless to say, that is well beyond the power rating for any of the amplifiers in his review.)


Also: I personally would have done the critical listening test before the SPL test, because he did a number on one before the critical listening test!
