Customer Testimonial

Sonic was very patient with all of my questions about installing and purchasing products. I took more time then most people would. Not once did Mr Brendan H. give me any negative feedback. I would highly recommend both Mr H and Sonic Electronix.

I own the previous model. Its a great speaker, but it is not the best. Everyone who rode with me really loved the lights, which is its key selling point. The only problem with this sub is when you get to higher levels of volume it will bottom out. The plexiglass also sounds bad at high levels. But this speaker will shake your car. I upgraded to the mtx terminator. But this was an awesome subwoofer!

Ordered these back in 08, and they outplayed my friend's setup which was 2 CVRs and a p2. The bandpass box makes these subs kings compared to most subs in normal boxes. I would highly recommend these for anyone on a budget or just looking for a starter system. I never had a problem with these babies.

If you get this I HIGHLY recommend you use it with a Dual XIA series amp! Dual makes 3 different models in the XIA series. 580 watt 2-channel, 800 watt 2-channel and a 1000 watt 2-channel. These are there high-end amps and were built just for this enclosure as they offer direct hook-ups for the illuminate lights...

Many people read and hear alot of garbage about the Dual BP1204 and Dual in general... They say its W****** brand trash, well for starters, the Dual amps that you see in your local w****** are made for "Component Speakers" NOT subwoofers!! ALL of Duals products are CEA-2006 compliant so you can trust their max and rms ratings... Brands such as Pyramid, Legacy, Boss, Crunch, Power Acoustik and Pyle are NOT CEA-2006 compliant .. As a word of advice, Stay away from anything that isn't CEA-2006 compliant! I love this enclosure with subs!! but you really need to match it with a DUAL XIA series amp for best performance and quality!

I drooled over these subs for weeks before I could get them, with their futuristic look and illuminite capabilities I was ecstatic to finally get them. They were everything I thought there were going to be and then some! They hit super hard light up super bright and push air out so hard I shreaded a piece of paper haha it was cool. I love the bandpass enclosure and the whole look of the box and would recommend it to anyone. 10/10!
