for me, the best choice

Thank you reminded me to express my opinion on the loudspeaker that I've bought some time ago. It is an excellent choice, discreet appearance and good taste and quality is impressive. There find a deep bass, you find such a speaker and no longer struggling to search for other web sites that here is the price small and the products arrive in short time, so this company is really good. Thank you again, to have sales and all the best.

Well done and thank you for having asked to write my review on this speaker is incredibly good, has the lowest price on all websites and I want to say that you use for a house and active subwoofer. Recommend one for those who really want to have a deep bass and quality.

Plenty O Bass

I sealed the small storage compartments under the rear seats in my '05 Tundra DC. With a very solid baffle, the box is sealed. A JL 250 slash v2 is enough to keep an appropriate level of bass to match a very capable front end. If 8" is as big as you have room for, I would recommend this sub.
