Nice Little Sub

I found what I was looking for. This subwoofer is a good quality sub at an inexpensive price. Sounds really good.

decent for mid bass

This sub is ok for mid bass, but it just can't deliver a good hard thump that a good quality sub can. You do get what you pay for. The coil in this sub is small. Like 1" small. I do not recommend that they be ran at high volume for extended periods of time. They can't handle it as well as a big name sub, but they are a decent sub for mids on low key power.

My Purchase

The Boss CX8 works fine as a replacement to my blown out of stock sub for my Tahoe. It installed easily and sounds good.

Great sub for midbass application

I don't know how it would perform as a sub but as a mid bass driver it works great.

Good Sub for the Price

I used this sub to replace my Ford Explorer Sport factory sub that had dry rotted. The factory sub was a little bigger, but this sub still fits. You just have to drill new screw holes, and use a bolt, fender washers, and silicone to cover the rear mounting hole in the plastic sub box. 6 months and still going strong.

Great speaker at an unbelievable value

This fits perfect in my 99' Ford Expedition. Should fit most other years if you take some time to fit it to the sub box. Sounds like a much more expensive speaker.
Six months later and still going strong. Why pay more.
