i didnt use this sub but i bought one and installed it in a fiends truck. i intalled it in small truck box and it was fine. i used a small lanzar 800 watt amp and it worked good. recomended for when space is an issue and for a good cheap solution for bass.

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!
