🚨 THIS WASN’T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN… 😳
I thought the two 12” subwoofers would be the biggest story of this test…
They weren’t.
🔥 Welcome to the start of our brand-new Dual Subwoofer Shootout!
After an incredible response to our Single Subwoofer Shootout, it’s time to take things to the next level with two subwoofers, different enclosure designs and real-world testing.
For our first test we used:
🔊 2 × Starsound 7300D4 12” subwoofers
⚡ 1 × Starsound M5 amplifier
📦 A custom-built enclosure designed by the vehicle owner
When the Term-LAB stopped…
📊 142.43 dB
⚡ With 975 watts of clamped power…
I genuinely had to look twice.
Not because of the score…
But because the Starsound M5, rated at 600 watts RMS @ 1 ohm on the subwoofer channel, produced 975 watts during the test.
That’s more than 50% above its rated power.
Now I’m honestly not sure what impressed me more…
🔥 The pair of 7300D4 subwoofers performing so well in that custom-built enclosure…
Or…
⚡ The M5 amplifier delivering far more power than its rated output.
That’s exactly why we’re doing this series.
Not to tell you what to buy.
Not to create hype.
But to put equipment through real-world testing, measure the results, and let you decide what impresses you most.
💬 Now it’s your turn…
What impressed you the most?
🅰️ The 7300D4 subwoofers
