Review written by Mend from NY
I'm a nut and reviewed so many subs based on my needs and this was one of the very few the met my criteria (medium weight, solid SQ performance, could get some SPL as well, high quality)
I've had this installed in the proper sealed enclosure mated to a Rockford Fosgate Prime R500.1 amp and I'm very impressed. Its visually stunning and incredibly clean in a equally nice black carpeted box, (that I got from here I might add)
It has fantastic reproduction of low end bass. I'm feeding it a little over RMS but I have my gain set to my headunit preout voltage and for optimal listen I have the sub set to -3 (range of -15 to +15) on my head unit (Kenwood X991 - epic headunit btw).
This things hits like a high end 12" for sure. About 5 years ago I had 2 Rockford Punch ( P1 12's, 200ish rms each) in a sealed box and this 10" in a .625" cubic box simply destroys it.
I've thrown techno, rock and rap at it and it loves it all.
If I turn my head unit up to about 75% of full volume and turn the sub past -3 into +3 the pounding starts to hit you nicely. Since I've only had this sub for 1 day and about 2 listening hours I haven't cranked it but the few times I tested out +6 and +9 if felt like a punch to the back of my head and chest, mirrors shaking, loud and accurate to the tones.
Please keep in mind there are several factors you need to realize to my review.
- I have a large hatchback (RSX) so the dynamics of the hatch are in my favor when dealing with a sub.
- I have this running with a 4 gauge Rockford Amp kit. This is as good as it gets folks. High strand, true 4 gauge wires giving the power the amp needs, ground wires are 4 gauge as well, this keep voltage in the proper ranges.
- 3/4" MDF box, go with nothing less for any kind of sub, low or high end the box is the key to a subs sound.
- I have a high end headunit that allows me to control all aspects of the speakers but technologies that help it sound better.
Keep all this in mind when buying a sub.
As of right now, I can't imagine getting anything other than what I've got right now. I love this little thing, its fantastic in all the aspects I wanted it to be. Fantastic SQ with the ability to boom if you want. High quality, made in the USA!, cant go wrong here, high recommended. Beware these new V3 series are single coils, limits your options but makes it easier to hook up for noobs.

Review written by Rav4 2 dorrs. from Panama, Panama
Excellent product Im moving it with a class D JL A1400 mono. Best sound Q I ever heard and low frequency bass with no distortion at all.
This sounds as loud ad a 12 inch subwoofer. I highly recommend this product to every one.
Sonic is simply amazing in everything they offer. I have purchased my entire new sound system from here and it is easily the best price around. I will never use any other source for speakers, gps, car security or anything without going here first. Sonic is on the way to the top as far as I see it!
