These subs are simply amazing for the price, i've seen many systems with woofers triple the price of these and these sound just as good or better, I have a Pioneer 1200 watt monoblock amp powering these subs and they POUND. They sound amazing and hit hard, i would definitely recommend these to anyone for a price that cant be beat. Thanks Sonic!

This thing hits hard as well you know. I have this mounted in a sealed enlosure with an internal volume of 1.19 cu/ft lightly stuffed with poly fill and it slams. I have the Boss 1100 watt mono amp from Sonic Electronix powering it and I tell you they are a matched pair. The price is great and so is the looks. I hope to make everyone jealous this summer on the wate since it is in my boat.

Customer Testimonial

I purchased the Clarion CMRC1-BSS. The purchase went through smoothly. Sonic Electronix kept me informed on when it left the warehouse and how long it would take. They were spot on with all communications. They also wanted to know if their service met my expectations. Hell Yeah....and then some.
