Go off the Richter Scale with DBXi Subwoofers

The DBXI-12 Single 4 ohm 12" subwoofer is the perfect example of what it means to carry the Earthquake Sound name. Earthquake Sound subwoofers need to not only be loud but also sound great and perform without any problems. With an RMS of 500 watts this woofer will produce enough bass to really satisfy those low-frequency reproduction needs. The woofer features a pressed pulp fiber woofer cone and high-roll rubber surround for added stiffness, rigidity, and higher excursion capabilities. Its turbo propped cooling reduces thermal heat and thus increases output and lowering distortion during all periods of play. The woofer also features a 2" voice coil and double stacked magnet structure able to produce an impressive 3.5" of linear excursion, giving you deep impact bass. The DBXi woofer is your everyday driver that will perform day in and day out without compromising quality.

I purchased two of these to replace two kicker cvrs I have had for about four years. I was looking for those deep lows and tight bass, and guess what I am not disappointed in making this purchase. These subs is exactly what I was looking for they deliver the deeps lows I was looking for and they provide tight bass for a good price. I have mine hooked up to hifonics brz 1700.1d mono amp at 2 ohms which produce 1200 watts of slamming bass. I love these subs and if you buy these subs I believe you will love them too. They hit so hard that I need to upgrade my battery now which will be a kinetik battery soon from sonic. And with a five year warranty you can't go wrong. It's a reason why this company is called earthquake. They live up to there name with earth shattering BASS.
