Bought 2 and placed them in a sealed box, was only giving them 50 watts each. but they still sounded great and hit the lows just fine. bought 2 more and going to use all four with their RMS power as soon as I get some funds. I tried to use them in a ported box, but to me it sounded like crap. Don't recommend a ported setup.
