So i pulled the trigger. Seems like I'm the first one too! There is a huge lack of reviews for this subwoofer. I've searched the internet high and low and never found but maybe 1 so let me get started!
The speaker itself: MB Quart put the time and effort into designing and building this subwoofer. It is very well made with nice spring loaded hideaway terminals, a beefy rubber surround, woven fiber cone, heavy magnet, and very lightweight but STRONG basket. It is certainly unmistakable for their "premium" line of speakers. I really like the selectable impedance feature which is also fused to protect the voice coils. In theory you shouldn't ever be able to run too much wattage through them and cause the coils to blow. I'm powering it with a Rockford Fosgate R500X1D which i bought from Sonic. A perfect match to the subwoofer producing 500 watts at 2 ohms.
Onto the sound: I have it in a sealed 1.25 cubic ft Ground Shaker box (also bought here) and it sounds tight and clean! For the record I'm a 10" sub type of guy and would never use anything other than a sealed enclosure for accuracy. Jazz, classical, swing, and very musical compositions in general sound fantastic. I'm very impressed with the reproduction of bass drums kicking and string basses playing. I thought it would be boomy or muddy (because I'm the 10" subwoofer guy) but it wasn't! Now because I want to be fair and right a review for everybody, i had to play some hip hop and trap music for all the bass heads. Here's the deal on that.... I think we all can agree 84 decibels of sensitivity is on the low side. That said at 500 watts RMS, the bass comes through loud and clear, but if you want it to shake your mirrors off, you're better off with 2 and probably in a ported box. MB Quart even states in their description on their site that this subwoofer is intended to be musical and not for the SPL crowd of people and I agree! I'm a big band swing/ jazz listener so it suits my needs and adds the perfect amount of clean accurate bass to my setup. Overall I think it's worth checking out for sure. I know there are a lot of subwoofers out there under $100 that are amazing and I know that's why there are next to no reviews for this item. That and the Maxxsonics ownership which I get it...they are lower end, but you inevitably get what you pay for and a higher priced MB Quart subwoofer comes with a higher quality build. I love Sonic Electronix and definitely a customer for life with them, but if they want this sub to sell, they need to come down on price to match their competitors which is why I gave it 3 stars on value. Other than that, I'm happy!

I have one hooked up to my RE Audio SXXv2-12D2 and it makes my whole car shake!! Reall great product and great brand too. I've had it for about a month and I do check to see if it gets hot cause the sub is at 1100 rms and the amp is at 1000w and it does a great job handling it's power it never gets hot so I highly recommend this product!!!

This amp is good for what you pay. Does rated power, looks very clean. I haven't had any performance issues yet, completely satisfied.
There is, however, one big issue. two of the four screw holes for mounting (the 2 in the rear) have no barrier protection from the inside of the amp. So if you drop a screw while trying to mount it, you need to remove the entire side panel and VOID WARRANTY. Based on this alone, i would not suggest this product - buy something else without a major flaw. Not sure what mb quart was thinking, but having a huge opening from the outside of the amp to the actual board is a terrible design. I've never had an issue like this with any other product.
