Great 10" sub hits hard

The following review is for SWX-1043D, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I have this sub with a kenwood KAC-9105D amp 900w rms at 2 ohms. I've had it for a month now, and just now the sub is starting to break in and is sounding better every day. I was worried about the distortion at first but it seems to be clearing up...I wonder if anyone else has had issues with this. It seems as though it shouldn't waffle or distort being 1000w rms and 3000 peak. But it truly sounds a lot better now than at first maybe it was just break in period. Sonix got all the deals and I won't shop anywhere else.

amazing sound quality for the money

The following review is for SWX-1043D, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

wow for a 10 in sub you cant go wrong. i have just 1 in a ported box tuned to 32 htz, custom made with 1.5 in mdf all around running on a hifonic bxi2010 with about less than 3/4 gain. perfect combination the sub is getting about 900 watts rms it could handle alot more but i cant handle the madness of the bass that why it is set there. nice clean bass with no distortion and the low notes i just can't describe just amazing beating the crap out of my 07 nissan quest. sonicelectroix is the store to beat great prices on everything.

Best speaker i have owned

The following review is for SWX-1043D, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I would recommend loud as hell and i only have one 10" in a probox. Only bad thing is that it smells funny for the first couple of months when u push it, but after that either you don't notice or u get use to the smell better than kicker punch and JL audio i have owned them all.

Sound good but be careful

The following review is for SWX-1043D, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I have had these 2 of these subs for a week now. They do have excellent sound quality if put in the correct box. I have them in a dual 10" separately sealed box. With 1.25 cubic feet per. They sound very nice. Problem is i have them running on a Rockford Fosgate T-2500bdcp. I do have the gain turned way down. I had everything professionally installed or so i thought. After two weeks of playing them easy to break in 1 blew at a fairly low level. I didnt have in bumping. Just heard a crack then pop. Boom sub is gone. I am going to replace it with another but turn gain down even farther. All in all i do recommend them but make sure you properly power them. Use SMD products to watch clipping. Be easy on them for awhile and you should be good. I listen to mainly metal music death, black, and industrial metal. They kept up with the double bass drum beautifly. Try them.

Upgrade from Walmart Brand

The following review is for SWX-1043D, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Upgraded From 2 12' Dual Subwoofers in a bandpass box with Dual 300W RMS Amp, to 1 Of these in a 1.3^ft Ported Box bought here on sonic Powered by a Alpine MRX-M100, 1000W RMS Amp. This Subwoofer is Considerably louder then my Old Setup, Takes up 1/2 of the trunk space of my old setup, and the sound quality of the Old setup isn't even comparable. Amazing Product for sure.
