Great subs

I have 2 of these subs in my 98 dodge ram 2500 v8 and man it pounds hard and load I love them I've had them for almost 1 year now and they sound like new still . Friends & family say they can hear me 2 blocks away . When I'm in at of my house my livingroom windows shake .

good

I had these for three months now on a Lanzar OPTI2001D and still going strong they are in a sealed probox with upgraded alternator and one kinetics battery so they are getting the full 2000 RMS at 0 .5 ohm

For every day play and bass yes!! you can comp them but I wouldn't advise not really great SPL speakers even tough they are built like them Get the MOFO's if that's the case.

not bad

after only three days both dust caps came off but other than that its a good speaker. It also is free air capable so if that's something you are looking for then give them a try.

Great subs, great value.

Matched them with the 2700 watt Power Acoustik mono block. Solid, clean bass. No complaints.

excellent

Been using two of these for a month now on a kicker 750.1 at 2 ohm and they get pretty deep I have them in a ported box. Was a little unsure about buying them but when I seen they were a little cheaper than than power acoustic MOFO twelves I figured I would give them a try the only down side is I always take my box in and out of my trunk for the room and they are pretty heavy speakers but other than that very much worth the price for the power they can take.
