This eXcelon series subwoofer handles 600 watts of continuous RMS power, and boasts Dual voice coils to maximize output from the amplifier.

I bought one for my Renault Twingo and also i made the box that is mention on the userguide for these subwoofer, i just had an amplifier that sends only 80 watts rms to the sub wired to produce a 4ohm, and is banging. I love it, also use this with a kenwood excelon dash receiver and with ipod to improve sound quality.

Definately recommended to anyone. If you're into clean hard hitting bass, this is the one. ive had this for 6 months now and I've put it through hell and it hasnt failed yet. Currently I've got it getting 500W RMS (250rms to each voice coil) and its excellent. i had it hooked up to a kenwood 1500rms amp(750rms to each coil) and it took it without a problem. my friends are all alpine fans, but an alpine cant do what this one can and last. This is a VERY dependable sub. Excellent for anything and anyone.

Customer Testimonial

Called and spoke with Adam G. and he was extremely helpful and patient. He made some very good points as to product selection and kept me from ordering a couple of items that would not have worked in my application. Thanks Adam for all you assistance and SonicElectronix for your great pricing.
