For the money you pay, its a great sub. I have one in my car and it pounds when it needs to. If you listen to rock its a bit soft but then again its a low budget subwoofer. Quality is great on it.

Customer Testimonial

Sonic electronix was so helpful and quick with my purchase. I ordered 2 10" subs that were shipped from CA all the way to SC. It took less than 5 days to get here. I am very satisfied with the quality of my subs and you can't beat the price. This site will be the first and only one I look at.
