Customer Testimonial

I found a Sonic Electronix listing while searching for a used car stereo on Ebay. I was very surprised with their pricing on "new" stereos and when I saw they also include the adapter harnesses for free I was in. The installation was very easy with no guesswork. Thanks guys!

I got this thing shipped across the country in 6 days. It's way bigger in person. The spider is stiff as a board. Be sure to ease into flexing the thing at full tilt. I had it running free air on 2000 watts at 4 ohms. I couldn't push the cone up or down but apparently when 2000 watts of power is pushing it, it has an inch of excursion. It shook my truck more than my two orion 10's AND ITS NOT EVEN IN THE BOX YET.

I put it in a 10ft. cubed box sealed. When the low note hit on White Girl, all i could do is laugh and gasp for air. I went inside my restaurant because thats the only place i could test this thing without the cops being called. I could feel the bass on the counters! And the doors were shaking. I was around 15 feet away from the door at the time. I went home and on my way there i stopped at a red light. Obviously i turned it up to the Maxx and the trucks tailgate in front of me was rattling. I AM TRULY PLEASED WITH THE RUCKUS I CAN CAUSE WITH THIS THING.

This thing is LOUD. Some people claimed that this subwoofer was only good for SPL and that it lacked sound quality. Well I'm nothing but impressed with this thing. I have it in a 1.2 cubic foot box tuned to 28 Hz in the back of a 20006 Expedition Limited. People are shocked when they hear how loud and low it gets.



Pros: Priced fairly, LOUD, DEEP, durable



Cons: Takes up a lot of room, things in my car are starting to break, (Specifically in my doors) Hearing loss.
