I bought this with pretty low expectations to be honest. I mean $140 for a 15" sub pushing 1400 watts RMS, thats a pretty good deal. Well I was completely wrong! This thing pounds and whoops my old two 12" subs. Buy this sub!

this subwoofer is awesome, everyone i know either runs 12's or 10's so decided i needed a 15....the lows that this sub will hit are amazing, im currently running 1 of these in a sealed box with at Kenwood KAC 1800 watt monoblock amp. This amp will put out 900 rms at 2 ohms....i have not needed to wire my sub at 2 ohms. i have it running at 4 ohms (500 watts) and it hits too hard, i upgraded the speakers in my taurus but im having to put an amp on them because of the obnoxious boom coming from the trunk, all in all a great subwoofer, doesnt hit the hi's like a 10 or 12, but the lows make up for it....can't beat the price either

I ordered two of the 15" power acoustic p3-15 subwoofers and to this day they put all my friends systems to shame. They sound immaculate and I haven't had any problems with them. I have had to replace a couple amps however they were low wattage and needed a better amp to begin with. Hifonics has some amazing amps and that's what's powering my subs now, of course I ordered everything off SonicElectronix.com, thanks again Sonic!
