March 14, 2011 Good Sub, Bad set-up

This is an awesome sub, it has great sound and for a 1100 watt sub it hits hard, the downside to it is that after a while of it being up loud, the plastic part in the middle, with the JBL logo on it comes loose and makes it sound bad because it vibrates and causes a high pitched rattling sound.

I have two of these in my Ford Focus and they are amazing! I would recommend these to anyone who wants great bass and great quality with low cost. I have them hooked up to a 2 channel 2500 watt Boss amp and I have had no problems in the past year and I turn them up everyday. definitely a great buy and I will buy them again if im doing another system
