Polk Audio db1240

I bought a complete sound system for my car a few months ago and I was a little worried that only a 12 inch sub wasn't going to do much...I was wrong! This sub is awesome and is a lot more powerful than I thought.

installed in home subwoofer 150 W rms and could not love it more

awesome low Response

I have 2 of these on a Boston GT-2200 and they are loud and accurate. Granted I have them on a very good amp but they deliver on both sound quality and punch. They hit very hard but are stil able to make good midbass hum.



The only complaints I have is that you have to use quick slides to connect your speaker wires and the screws are allen wrench but other than that these a great subs.

I have a pair of these on a Boston GT-2200 in the trunk of my Mazda 3 in a sealed box. The gain is less than half and are wired at 2ohm getting around 900 RMS to the pair and they sound very clean. I had more of an SPL setup before I got these and I wanted to get more sound quality then rattle. These aren't even broken in yet and they hit pretty good. I switched from a class d monoblock to this Boston class A/B and I dont think I am going back anytime soon.





Can't wait till they break in so I can let them buck. If you dont have money for a good amp and care more about booming get the kicker comps.



Couple things I dont like about them is they dont hit the higher mid bass notes all that great but maybe I just need more fiberfill but as I said earlier I havent broken them in yet. Also the cone material is pretty light compared to the last subs I had (polypro vs hemp fiber glass) I would suggest purchasing the grills. Lastly to hook these up I had to purchase quick slides, would be nice if they accepted bare wire like most of the new school subs. They also use allen wrench screws which I thought was rather strange.

I had bought 2 of these subs in the box built to spec by Polk, and wow was I blown away. Had them at 2 ohms on an alpine mrp-500(500 rms at 2ohms) and they could easily take more. Not to mention the sound quality is some of the best I've heard. Had them in my 96 accord with Alpine 6.5s, Alpine 6x9s, and a Sony gtr-550 head unit. Was an amazing set up, with pristine sound quality, for a decent price.
