Outstanding sub. I have one in my 99 camaro and it is louder than the 15" type R i had in my truck. It is very power hungry. Mine is running off a pheonix gold x1200.1 and it gives off good clear sound with no distortion until you reach volumes that wouldnt play at just driving around. For the price there is no better.

For the price you cant do better (unless free). They are very power hungry but when fed more then 1kw they love every minute of it. Port these subs and they come to life. Deffinatly louder then two type Rs with the same power.

Customer Testimonial

Your man on the front line that I gave my order to was the best. My order arrived on time. I have since installed the alarm, it works perfect. I guess you could say I am a happy camper. Thanks again everyone.
