I own two of these subs wired at 4 ohms each driven by its own Clarion XR2110 Mono amp. WOW what an awesome combination. They hit so hard. So hard in fact that the screw down terminals loosened and the wires fell out of the sub box. I had to Loctite them down. I totally recommend these subs. They are awesome.

I have 2 of these and have had them for about 2 1/2 years now. I have them hooked up to an alpine mono amp in a sealed enclosure. I play them as loud as i can every day and they still deliver amazingly smooth yet extremely loud sound. I Will be getting these again.

I love this sub. I have a 96 Chevy 1500 standard cab truck. I had to build 2 custom boxes to go behind the seats and the only subs that I found to fit were these Alpines. Shallow mount depth, great power handling, flexible installation options with the dual voice coils, look great, and still hit hard and clear like a higher priced sub. I have a Boss Phantom PH2.800 amp pushing 260 watts RMS @4 ohms to each sub wired in series. Sounds great. Great buy for first sub or someone on a budget.

Well made sub and interested me because it was a little more shallow than others. Tucked in a box under the back seat in my F150 w/no problems.
