Power Acoustik P3-12W

Best thumper for the price you pay for it. Only costs like 85 dollars, but hits like the subs my other friends have (who paid alot more for theirs than I did)!!! Great find

i currently own 2 PA Fubars, and they've lasted me about 2 years, and yes, i pound the s**t out of em, if its cold they'll start right up, there's really no warm up time needed. PA is the only sub i will trust. i also have a PA 1000 watt amp. and ive owned that just as long as the subs. they make the best shizz. no doubt. i plan on buying 2 or 3 of these for my 97 riviera. i have no trunk rattle at all so this'll be tight.

I have two of these in a sealed box powered by a SSL EV5000D wired down at 2 ohms. They hit pretty hard, cone/ motor noise is noticeable, but not unbearable. One of them has developed holes around the outer edge of the surround where the molded ridges meet the flat part of the rubber. Overall though i was impressed with them.

This baby is awesome sounds good and holds 30's and lowe's like nothing. No distortion what so ever. Only down was the connectors for the wires one broke but nothing that a little soldering wouldn't fix.

I have been installing for thirteen years now and have seen a lot of crap and a lot of good stuff. I just installed one of these in my cousins truck after he blew his first sub (not my fault) and I am not impressed. I have it at 1 Ohm on a 1000 watt RMS amp in a 1.25 CuFt sealed box as suggested and the excursion is too much. I believe this sub would work better in a 1 CuFt box with a thin layer of poly-fil sheet because the air suspension would be tighter for higher Hz thumps. Overall this is a good speaker for the money but the specs are not correct. If you have a good certified RMS amp it will blow this sub easy. I would recommend 800 Watts RMS in a (properly!) tuned ported enclosure.
