Buy These!!!!

I was amazed to find out that this sub woofer at only 450RMS watts @ 4 ohms from my Brutus Hifonics BXI1200 shook the floor board of my Chrysler 300. The bass of this woofer is the strongest that I have heard in years. I have one of these mounted in a sealed box. The bass is deep and clean. I am an audiophile at heart and I have listened to many different subs and this one is by far the best I have heard. Don't let the name brand fool you. The British engineers knew what they were doing. Buy this!!!!

Impressive & advanced

I previously owned/used the Hifonics HFX12D4 because of best sound& bass for cheap price.
I eventually blew them out four times but they sounded their best at their limit.
I put in two "black air" and side by side with two Hifonics.
I never knew a 12" woofer was capable of such intense bass.
They totally sound like true competition stuff.
Just two of these pumping at an estimated 400w rms each and they try to strike fear into your spine from amount of air movement.
These easily play twice as power full and the excursion of the cones is impressive.

The real question is how long they will last, but from looking & installing them,
they simply are far ahead of any woofers I have ever seen.
Even the underside of the glass woven cone has a stiff frame behind it.
These woofers definitely earn their title of "Black air".
