This speaker is one of the best subwoofers ever made. I wont quote spl's or power handling statistics or any other such specification. I will point to the fact that this this speaker has remain virtually unchanged for 25, yes, twenty five years. In fact, I bought my first terminators in 1989. I have purchased at least 20 of these subs from 8-18 inches. The woofer has a natural tone and can accurately reproduce a wide range of bass frequencies. And yes, they can pound out 35Hz notes all day long. You can get maximum spl at around 200 watts rms, but even at 100 watts you can still pound the pavement, so you wont need a huge amp. Box size is very important for this sub. It is good for both ported and sealed boxes, as well as bandpass applications.
The only drawback is that the box size required is larger than a lot of speakers on the market. But in today's economy, this is the best value for your hard earned buck. 25 years proves it.

I bought this at a bundle with a 350w Kenwood amp from sonicelectronix. when i first put them in it hit pretty hard and put out some good clean bass but after only a month of bumpin around it started to have this ugly crackling sound at higher frequencies... wont be getting another one of these. maybe i just pushed it too hard being that it is only a 400 watt sub, even though it was only getting 150w RMS. Ehh.

February 7, 2012 good beginner subs

I've owned these subs for about 9 months now. They have lasted great through the abuse. Ive had this sub on 3 amps (dont buy kenwood amps), and in two different boxes, one in old lexus, and the new ported one in my ranger. From the beginning i was overpowering these subs by 50 rms a piece. Now, they are being run by a hifonics 1000.d amp at 2 ohms. so in short do these sound good on 750rms, No they really dont, i have to turn my radio to -2 with the gain all the way down on the amp. But i have to say Ive played these subs for at least an hour a day for the past 9 months driving back and forth to school at a excessive level and they still sound very good although they dont want to handle some frequencies now probably my fault though.

Conclussion: great beginner sub but if you want to go to the next level you cant go wrong with re-audio's se series at least that's what ill be upgrading to.
