Find the right amplifier for your subwoofers

Sonic was very patient with all of my questions about installing and purchasing products. I took more time then most people would. Not once did Mr Brendan H. give me any negative feedback. I would highly recommend both Mr H and Sonic Electronix.

I have 2 of these in a sealed box connected to a Hifonics HFi1500D amp and they are amazing. They pound real hard. I could't have gotten better subs for this price. I recommend these 100%.

i have had these subs now for about six months Just got a capacitor for it and it sounds great. I bought both of these subs for about $200 great price. At B*** B** they are $*** each. So I'm hundred bucks off not bad. I wire these subs down to 1 ohm to a hifonic hfi1000d amp This app is perfect because it runs at 1000 RMS. I highly recommend you get a capacitor 1.5 fraud is good. I love them I Highly recommend them

Would recommend.

No problems to report whatsoever. Great for my metal music. Doesn't hit the most hard for your dubstep or whatever but that doesn't detract for me!

No cons.

All pros.
