I had two of these running off of my mtx thunder 600d @ 4 ohms. They were great until my buddy blew them. He was playing a bass tester that has blown my other friends subs before as well so I cant say that the sub had a downfall for sure. But I did upgrade to the MTX TR55s and those are quite a bit better in my opinion.

This is my all time favorite sub. I just got a used one for cheap and threw it in a big ported box built to the MTX specs and holy cow! This is so loud and yet so clean. I really like it a lot. Can pick up the lows of all the way to 5 hz! The highs and mids grab at your chest and throat too. I only have one too!! I really like this sub a lot though. Its better than the kicker L5 i just had recently. I think it will literally last forever if you power it correctly and don't abuse it. Best sub I have ever bought. Don't even hesitate to buy it. For 100 bucks, its simply the best sub you can get.

I Replaced my 2 thunder 4500s with 2 5500s and the difference is amazing. The 55s hit much harder and sound much better. A whole lot clear and cleaner bass. Great sub and totally worth it.
