THIS SUB IS MY FIRST SUB AND IT IS SO LOUD. I HAVE IT IN A 1.7 SEALED BOX AND 700 WATT AMP BRIDGED AT 1 OHM AND CANT BELIEVE I ONLY HAVE ONE SUB. I AM SO SATISFIED THAT I AM GOIN TO BUY A SECOND ONE. AND THE BEST PART ABOUT THIS IS THAT THEY SEND YOU THE 07 MODEL INSTEAD OF THE 05.. GREAT SUBWOOFER YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED..

I bought these subs because they were the best bang for my buck and i was right! These things slam! as of right now i just have them hooked up to a crappy sony amp! but still! amazing!! i had to buy new, more sturdy subs when my mtx's went up in smoke (literally!!), they couldnt take it, these can! Awesome buy!
The BEST part about it, i bought these '05s because they were cheaper than the '07s, and they shipped me the '07s for the '05s price!!! cant beat that!!! that's a nice $130 discount!!! thank you sonic electronix!!!!

I used to own these speakers and wish that I had never gotten rid of them. They have the ability to hit all the low notes and it really gives others a run for there money

I have this subwoofer in a 1998 Chevrolet Pickup Extended cab, in a sealed box underneath my back seat. The subwoofer doesn't get nearly as much air space as it's recommended to have, and it still hits HARD. It's hooked up to an MTX 300XD amp at around half power, so it's running less than half RMS, and I've been pulled over numerous times. Listen responsibly =]

Overall, this subwoofer is a great deal, it has nice, crisp sound (and if it doesn't, you didn't set it up right.). It's definitely a great deal, and a wonderful buy! It's the envy of all my friends.

Customer Testimonial

I looked at these speakers at 2 large electronics stores and thought I would shop online to see if I could get a better deal. Wow I ended up getting 4 of the Rockford Fosgate speakers for the price of 2 speakers at BOTH chain stores. Fast delivery too! Definitely will consider for next purchases!
