They hit for a good month. Had 2 of them on bout 1500w@2ohms in a ported chambered box with 2cubic feet each. Then one day they got quiet and one stopped playing and the other died shortly after. I'm not going to lie they hit hard for a little bit. NEVER buying spl stuff again.

I bought these to replace my old POS Sonys. The sound quality is amazing and it's so much louder even though I'm running two on a 1125W mono boss amp. Can't wait to break them in and hear what they sound like in a month or two. Would highly recomend this to anyone looking for a great sounding sub for pretty cheap. One thing though, a large box suits these bad boys well.
