Skar Audio EVL-65 D2 6.5" 400 Watt Max Power Dual 2 Ohm Car Subwoofer

Took a chance on these. I am very impressed. I have owed and operated a stereo shop for 35+ years. These are up there with the best subs I have used, bang for the buck! I would definitely buy again.

This is a very good subwoofer. I bought this sub to put it in an old Klipsch subwoofer box that I had lying around. I added a longer port to tune it up and it plays deep! It sounds good down to about 28hz which I never thought would be possible to get out of a subwoofer this size! I’d recommend you tune your own box for this since all other pre-made boxes are tuned too high and make these sound too boomy and not bassy. It gets really loud and looks cool having a thick rubber ring for excursion. The video might sound kind of bad since it rattles everything at a higher volume. The amp I am using is underpowered for this subwoofer but it still sounds incredibly powerful. This sub sounds like a 10 inch inside a car and although it is a little quieter than one it punches deep like one!

These lil guys can make bass like their bigger siblings, still amazes me. Can't say how they perform in super tiny sealed enclosures, but four with their own airspace slotport style put out as much bass as a 1200 watt RMS 12" in big slotport box on the same power, about 950 watts RMS. I bought mine "used" from Skar, as this is where they sell their returns. They all looked brand new, one had been wired up before, and they all functioned perfectly. Skar has excellent customer service and decent quality products at prices impossible to beat. If you're building system on tight budget check here for used gear, if sold by Skar they usually test before send out and will stand behind their products

Ok, so I want to start off by saying that skar still needs to make harder dust caps, like kevlar at least because they are pretty soft. Thats really the only negative thing about this sub. This review is technically for the VVX 8 I had as well as the EVL 10. My EVL 10 reminds me of the old VVX series subs! I had a VVX 8" on a crappy planet audio amp that absolutely killed the lows!! It took a beating-like a HARD beating for 3 years. My drives were long, 25-30 mins sometimes 40. It nonstop took everything i threw at it. And it sounded AMAZING. Fast foward to when I got a new truck, new job, and upgraded the system to an RP 800.1 D. For 4 months that VVX took waaaaay over its rated power (somewhere around 600 RMS, was giving an easy 1k @ 1ohm). Drives were 50 minutes one way. 2 times a day, 5 days a week. The sub took it ALL. And the only thing that broke was one of the spiders ripped itself off the former! Glue stayed on it! It sounded horrible unfortunately and when i took the coil out, it was only kinda discolored. Insane. It was built super well, too. A single, hard, dense steel mesh bolted to the basket with the motor mounting bolts kept the coil gap safe. BIG a** triple stack monster motor. Cast basket. Nice soft foam surround, paper cone, polypropylene dust cap, etc. Beat the ZVX 8 I got after it (same RP 800.1, not the sundown 2k) died in a week. A 600 RMS DC m3 8: dead in 3 weeks at less than 400 RMS. (SAME POWER RATINGS somehow??) Now, the EVL 10. What. A. Monster. The sub is so heavy for its size! And its an absolute animal. Its giving my Sundown 2k monoblock a run for its money!! Yes, my SAE v.3 is at 3/4 gain (no bass boost on the deck, or any other device, flat eq on my phone) and the sub eats it up!! Wired to 2 ohms because i have stock alt and battery. RIP. Plus I think it helps reduce any weird distortion or other signals (someone correct me on that) and improves sound quality. 1/0 welding cable for power. 12 guage Monster cable for speaker wire. Its in a Q-Bomb box behind the passenger seat of my 2010 f150 and it shakes everything hahaha!!! The sound it produces is identical to the VVX and thats why I chose to include my review of the VVX in this review. Its built like the VVX, nice basket, soft surround, tough cone, big red spider spider pack which the VVX didnt have, and an American voice coil!! Merica! Oh, and she gets lowwwww and still sounds good doing so. Mint! Overall Im super happy with this peaker and will definitely recommend the EVL over the ZVX as the ZVX did not last long (for me, at least.) 10 stars from me.

Haven't been able to turn it up super loud yet due to having a quarter glass replaced just over 36 hours ago but it sounds amazing and hits super hard. Very well built for sure. Took me about 10 minutes to get it wired up and in my box down to 1 ohm and installed. Its massive. First 15 ive ever had i am very happy

I really don't have anything bad to say about . The build quality is very good given the price point, cast basket, very stout terminals, cone and suspension are very high quality. I built a small .28cf sealed enclosure and filled it with polyfill, dual 2 ohm coils wired in series and ran with 150 watts RMS off of a bridged channel of a Audiocontrol ACX300.4 marine amplifier. Bass output was surprisingly tight with good low end to around 45hz where it started to drop off, what I would expect for a 6.5" in a small sealed enclosure. If you have the room go with a .38 to .45cf ported enclosure, the efficiency would increase and you would get more output in the 45-50hz range. For the value, you can't ask for more. The only reason I gave it a three star ratting for SQ was comparing it to subs like the JL 6W3 and similar subs costing 5 times as much, value it gets five stars.

Evl-65 D2. So I just got it installed into an old bazzoka tube with some custom wood rings as not to damage the plastic boom tube mounting. Also still breaking it in. But for 1 6.5 sub...this thing sounds excellent. I would recommend this sub for anyone wanting more bass but have no space to sacrifice. This fits behind the sit in my 93 gmc sonoma single cab with the seat all the way back. Perfect addition to a basic stock system. Of course i would love to have 2 12s but hey this fits the bill.

After running a pair of Skar Audio FSX8s in my front doors, paired with some Skar tweeters and a pair of Skar Audio 6.5 coaxials in the rear, along with two 12-inch Skar EVL D4s for quite some time now, I have to say I have zero complaints about Skar Audio. Need head phones to really give it justice.

I bought this based on good reviews. However it does not sound good. Highly boomy.

This lil thing KICKS ASSSSS!!!! It blew me away that a sub so small could sound so BIG. Awesome sub... will but again

Can't believe how good it works. 600 watts @1ohm.. I love it.. sounds and feels amazing..

Es impresionante su construccion, aun no lo he probado, lo utilizare en un caja porteada para un Mini Cooper S, lo escogí por su tamaño y su potencia sin sacrificar el micro espacio de cajuela del auto. Anexo: Fabrique el cajon porteado de acuerdo a las especificaciones y wooww se escucha con mucha calidad, como si fuera un 12”, lo recomiendo, creo que será suficiente para mi pequeño vehículo.

What an animal! Tried to get one from America but postage and taxes just made it too difficult and expensive. Now they are available in the U.K. build quality is excellent, sound is deep and controlled, I am still in the run in period as these cones/suspension are very stiff. With 50mm of travel and big surround this thing is already shaking. Using my trusty American bass 2500md delivering a good 900-1000W @ 2 ohms. I thought my jl audio 10w6v3 sounded deep and powerful, but now it's on early retirement!
