I have 2 of the 152x's wired with a Power Acoustik Staxx 5500d wired down to 2 ohm.
Aero Ported in a 99 mitz Galant. Lets just say this. My front window flexes about 2 1/2 inchs. When it rains and my subs arer hitting rains cums in my front window. I have resealed and busted the seal like 7 times since I had. I use them as Comp subs. Ive hit: 144.7BD @ FLOOR 143.6DB @WINDOW 142.9DB @SEAT 156.1DB @PORT 127.3DB @OUTSIDE CAR (6FT FROM CAR) AND THIS IS WITH RESTRICTED AIR SPACE. IM BOUT TO GET A BLAZER AND HOPE TO HITTING CLOSE TO 150DB. THE ONLY THING I DONT LIKE IS THE BULKY RIM THAT DONT FIT NO 15" BOX LOL. BUT OH WELL SO OVERALL I HAVE 2. AND WHEN I BLOW THESE I BE SURE TO BUY SOME MORE.

I bought 2 of these and the quality of these are amazing I owned 2 12" boss subs and these MOFOs are hands down amazing they pound! i have it hooked up to a MTX thunder elite 3000w mono amp and it sure gives them a beating! I would recommend these subs to everyone! Go big or go home!

I bought this sub because I wanted DEEP BASS! Be careful what you ask for. Currently it's being powered by a Power Acoustik Gothic 3000 wired down to 1ohm. Cabinet is 4.2 cu. ft ported to 35hz with a lot of bracing. Very impressed. No one believes I only have 1 15 in the trunk. Definitely recommend this setup. Make sure you have plenty of mids and highs. I'm running 4 6.5" and 2 10's for mid bass with 6 pyramid TW46 tweeters. Powered by a Power Acoustik 1600-4 and 1250-2. Power Acoustik head unit and pre-amp. I get compliments from everyone regardless of the type of music. Make sure you have a capacitor it is power hungry. I'm running a PA 20 Farad w/ my set up.

This subwoofer just came in on 10-05-09 hooked it up to a boss chaos special edition amp till new one came (ran it at 4Ohms 1200rms supposedly didn't seem like it) was hitting pretty good on a crappy amp but once the 4000d Pa bamf comes in should step the game up on the sub big time.
Pro's good looking subwoofer, Hit's low's better then a average "15" for the price. Con's doesnt fit any average 15inch box(prefab other or other box not made for it) had to jigsaw the out rim a little bit so the sub could fit. Good buy for price its a power hungry sub so make shure ur amp can perform. I will buy another one in future satisfied with product

Bought the sub back in may, lasted a week and blew. Sent it in and received it a month later I didnt mind that but once again 2 weeks later it blew. Sub sounds nice but is extremely over rated with power probably 800rms. Would never buy Power Acoustik again!

my one 15 inch mofo is being pushed by a lanzar vector 2610. its only giving it 300 watts rms@ 4 olms and it bangs harder than 2 15 inch kicker comps 500 watts a peice i have. this sub bangs.I had mine for about 4 months now and i ve had no problems.This sub can definitly take more power than what im giving it.the bass is deep and clean.Im gonna order another one when my budget allows me to.I recommend this to all those undicisive about getting this.WARNING be prepared to cut the woofer hole of your cabinet alittle bigger it will not fit.

I had one of these in a 4.2 cuft L-ported box tuned to 37hz in my Camaro. I had 2 MRP-M500's on each coil. So 1000rms. It was stupid loud. I was insanely surprised at how well it sounded for a mainly SPL sub. SQ was nice. Give it 5 *'s for the price!

Audio freak from Candler, NC

I had this sub running on a kicker zx750.1 monoblock amp in a vented box. The amp is rated at like 900 watts max. Power acoustik says this thing is 1700 watts rms, 3000 watts max. No way. Voice coils were burnin up at 3/4 gain on my zx750.1. I was pushing around 600 watts to it and it done very well. Any more than that and the voice coils started to burn up. But power acoustik is known for way over rating their wattage in their producs. But it was loud. This isnt a bad price for this sub. Its a little high, but i just dont belive in power acoustik no more. They have lost my buisness for ever. Their amps suck. And they lie about the max wattage on all their products. I still love shopping through Sonic though. Great service and prices. Fastest shipping out of anyone.

I bought this about two weeks ago and wired it down to 1 ohm and hooked it up to a 2500 watt SPL class D amp and it sounds amazing. It is louder than all of my friends who mostly have 2 12's in their car. My friend told me that he could hear me coming down the street a good 2 minutes before he saw me, and even in my saturn sl nothing rattles and it has a very clean sound. tuned to around 35Hz and hitting about 140dB. I would definitely recommend this sub to anyone and I would most definitely buy Power Acoustik again. Using an aero ported box as well.

155THINF from PORT ARTHUR, TX

I recently had 3 Kicker CVX 15's, but these MOFO's take the cake!!! Dont get me wrong those CVX's were super loud, but these MOFO'S provide alot more impact. People used to just be able to hear me coming, but with these MOFOs they can hear as well as feel me coming. Subs are in a sealed enclosure so I know I'm not getting the best performance from them, but with the bass I have, I am truly satisfied. Any more would be just too much. Unless you can afford some mid level RE AUDIO, DC AUDIO, or ALPINE TYPE R'S these are the best you can get on a budget. The best feature of all: these subs can be reconed!!!

OK. If you know anything about subs its that you need to break them in or else they will blow quick. Thats a givin. Soo im reading these reviews and seeing ohh i blew it in 2 weeks or a week. If you dont break the sub in then it will blow. Same as any sub. But this sub is a monster once you break it in. Dont pound the hell out of it until the sub is loose gotta play it really low for one week then slowly give it power each week. This process takes about 3 weeks. Thats the problem with buying new subs. All in all, great sub.

I decided to take a chance on the mofo's and im glad i did. These subs are crazy loud, can take a beating and not get hot. I'm running 2 of them on a 5500 PA gothic series amp and wow ive heard a lot of systems from kicker to JL audiobahn and ive had alot of my own systems and this one i have to say is by far the loudest. Shakes my whole car and the windows of my house. For the price they are a steal, they should be priced at 250 - 300. I feel they are that good they're a great deal, dont hesitate, buy a pair, they sound good in sealed or ported. I'm running sealed with 2.3 cubic ft per chamber. Anyways all and all 5 star product good job power acoustik.

Got it today and all I can say is wow. Have it running on a hifonics Brutus 1700 wired down to 1ohm and it moves. All I can smell is the wood and glue from the box being blown out of the port. I have it in a scion xb and just pounds. Had two ma audio1200xl's and this thing smokes em. If you decide on these you won't be disappointed.

I have had this sub for 10 months now and it pounds as hard as it ever has. Powered by a Hifonics Brutus 1700.1D this sub pushes air HARD. Hair tricks, window flex, trunk flex, or deep and clean lows that you can hear a mile away, whatever you are after this sub delivers.

I posted this before. i didnt know any thing really about car audio. I've learned alot. I got rid of these and got a single AudioQue 18 hdc3 ran on a planet audio Rxd2400.1. And i gained like 4db.
But i will say i miss these. Wished i had them back to put the TL in and mic them with real power. I didrun on em on a sundown 2000d (1 @ a time) and they took it and got loud. So all in all not bad bang for your buck.

I have two of these. had a pa gothic 5500 pushing them at two ohms it hits pretty good. The amp took a poop after a week so I decided to get 2 HIFONICS BRUTUS 1700.1 amps wired each amp to its own sub individually both at 1 ohm and these subs started smelling, they cannot handle true 1700 rms. My amps were only 1/2 way up and my bass knob at 1/2 . Do the math these subs are over rated and can't handle what they claim. Upgrading to HCCA's. 95 impala ss

I have this sub hooked up to a BAMF 5500 and a Power Acoustik 5 farad cap with a red top, its in a 2 cubic ft. box in a single cap pickup, and people can hear me coming from blocks away! Seriously thinking about making a ported box to play it to its full potential. The break in period wasnt as long as i expected. All in all a very versatile sub for all kinds of enclosures.

These are the best subs I've owned (at least so far)! I had two of these subs hooked up to a Lanzar VCT2610 and they POUNDED HARD, at least until my cheap amp took a $***. Before my crappy amp flat-lined on me, my car was so loud it was unbelievable. Lots of places I go, I often hear from somebody that they heard me at least a minute before they actually see me. I am very impressed with these subs. I am just waiting on my next check to order a HIFONICS HFi2500D from Sonic Electronix to get them back bumping again, I can't wait to hear how hard they'll hit with a REAL amp!

I bought 2 of these subs about six mounts ago they are in my 92 chevy truck on a 3000 watt amp pushing around 1300rms at 2ohm and they pound. I recommend these subs to anyone who wants a hell of a lot of bass at low price. And also these subs are way over rated

I purchased this Mofo to go with the older model i had and it bangs. I have it hooked up to a SSL 4000 MONO and it has the trunk jumping. It is wired for 4 ohms which is pushing about 1800 RMS and its a beast. will wire it for 1 OHM when i upgrade the alternator. Would recommend to everyone.
