Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a great subwoofer sounds great clear deep bass I have two and hooked up to a 2400w amplifier man I was impressed on how good they sound If you want a sub that can bump for less money I recommend these subs

Great!!

Great product! Quick install and haven't had a problem. It matched my amp and works perfect.

Nice little thing to have.

Nice to have. Don't have to go in the trunk to screw around with the bass.

Great value

Not much to say, a quality box for the price, would recommend it for sure.

Easy to use bass adjuster

My head unit can control the bass from the sub separately but this came with my amp/sub/box/wire kit. I installed it anyway, and it is nice to have. If you need to turn the bass down for a sec its a lot easier to do with this than scrolling through all of the buttons on the deck. Plus if you just want to tweak the bass a little for songs that don't have enough bass it takes seconds. Nice feature. If I didn't have a head unit that could do this manually, this controller would be a necessity!

Bazooka ELM-BCM

This bass control knob easily adjusts from 0% to 100% and everything in between. It's just one wire to run. It's only flaw is that it's not lighted in any way so it isn't as convenient to find in the dark if you mount it low, and the knob is too short to mount it so that the knob protrudes through a dash panel. This leaves you typically mounting it somewhere low around your knees. Still - install is a snap and it does exactly what it says it will. Well worth the minor price.

Weak

Has good sound quality but no bump. If your looking for a small bass upgrade then i could maybe see getting these. Have 2 in my 4 door Grand Prix and it sounds super good but if you want bump then these aren't for you.

Awesome

This is a must have if you have a bazooka amp. Stop reading and buy it. It regulates the sound so much better and with the turn of a knob you can turn the bass from almost silent to bumping. Definitely worth the money. buy it

Great sub!

Great sub! Hits hard, feels well made and can keep up with heavier songs with a lot of double-bass drums. Great for the money!

Awesome Product

I purchased 2 of these products for my 1996 Dodge Neon and these subs are loud. People say Sony sucks but don't listen to them because with the right amp you can blow the competition away.....

Amazing!!

I just installed these bad boys last night and they are amazing!! I was a little skeptical to buy these considering they were sonys but they had some great reviews and I decided to go for it. I had thunder mtx 5500s before these and they were good but these are a good bit louder. The lows from these subs are amazing and really pound compared to the MTXs which only vibrated on the lows and made noise with no thump. I did love the MTXs but I got them used and they blew. I already had bought a sony xplod amp, headunit, and 6 1/2s so I decided to go ahead and get some xplod subs. I also run my music off of my SONY PSP so I thought it would be pretty awesome to have all sony products. I love these subs and hope they don't end up disappointing me in the future, being a sony I doubt it.

good value for mids

i would not recommend this amp for low bass reproduction - while it has good power, especially for the price, the low pass filters kinda suck, you can't get sound reproduction below 60 Hz - i was disappointed because it was sold along with a really great Sony sub, which sounded great on my house/studio amplifier, but really sucked with the Bazooka amp.

i had one of these fine speakers and they are the best subs that any body could buy

great subs...

i jus bought a pair of these subs and they are great.i have owned 2 or 3 sets of them before and i admit i love the speakers..

AWESOME BOX

I have a DUB MAG 1200 Sitting in this box and all I can say is that this box hits HARD!!. Now first off for those of you who don't know, you are actually going to get the best base response with a sealed box and I would definitely recommend this one. It is also not too big and is good for about 1.5 cubic feet of volume. Also I have a 3000GT which is notorious for it's shallow trunk and small amount of trunk space and this box fit easily with room to spare!!! So this is definitely the box for you if you are looking to save space and/or want to have excellent sound.

good to go

The product was great and it works to perfection.

GREAT.

Believe me people, people can talk, talk and finally get tired and keep silent. My experience with all some major sub brands is that, all original subs sound great e.g Kenwood, Pioneer, Kicker, Alpine, JBL. The thing that differ is personal preferences on what type of bass to listen to. Now because of this reason I love all Sony subs because of their unique bass that is long range. No any other sub sound that can go far as Sony does with any amplifier.The truth is that some other subs may have more bass than some sony brands but still Sony subs have unique long range bass(simply loudest). Because of this reason Sony simply outdoes the other subs because even if you simply consider two cars parked, one with sony subs and the other with the other subs,(same sub watts and amplifier) believe me you may think that it is only the car with Sony subs singing because it will be louder. This applies to nearly all Sony sub brands beginning with Sony 1000 watts (xsl-120p5h upwards.
For example my friend had 1000 watts Kenwood sub which sounds great and loud and I had Sony 1000 watts (XSL-120P5H sub and another friend had pioneer 1000watts which also sounds great and loud. We did a test with the same amplifier , head unit and under the same song inside a room.Believe it or not sony was the loudest and even the sound bass was unique and even my friends far away in a field could turn their heads back when the sony was turned on.
Now I upgraded to sony xsl-124p5b which hits more harder, more bass and still the loudest as compared to the other sub- brands.Congrats to sony engineers.i even have a small amp in the house and still the sony sounds great even without an equalizer.Any sony sub above 1000 watts can do a great job.Try it.

Solid

It's a very well constructed box. It does the job and it does it well. One thing I noticed when I got it was how strong the box felt. Good product!

Great box

Fit well in the trunk. Perfect for small cars. Super fast shipping.

Excellent Quality

I would recommend this product to any of my friends for the simple fact that it was inexpensive. They usually say, you get what you paid for, but in this case you get more than what's expected. I've been running 1 Alpine Type R 12" in this enclosure and could not be happier. The box is on the smaller size but is perfect for allowing my subwoofer to maintain that tight and accurate bass. I am for sure going through Sonic Electronics for future subwoofer enclosures!

Perfect

A great small size and puts out a loud boom, great for the money.

Sub Box, 6 months later

Overall I've been very happy with this box. It seems pretty responsive and seems to be sealed properly. Though I'd still highly recommend it, I have had two minor issues with it:
1. The first day I had it hooked up my bass kept cutting out. Took a look and the back side of the terminal (on the inside of the box) were loose, creating a poor connection. Simply tightened it up with a screwdriver and haven't had issues since.
2. I just noticed that the carpeting is starting to pull away in 2 spots. Granted, it's pulling away where I usually grab the box to move it, which I do fairly often.

Overall though, I'd recommend the box if you're needing a sealed, compact box for a 12" sub.

1cubic foot sealed enclosure

I have picked up this enclosure from here. I must say the fabric matched my car fabric to a T and this box also no kidding around made my sub sound twice as better then it did in my old fiberglass box it was first in.

great sub

great subs take any thing u put to it

awesome sub

hits really low - i don't play it really loud, so if that's your thing, i wouldn't know - but if you want great music reproduction at reasonable levels, i don't think you can beat the sound or the price of this sub.

Ok...

This speaker hits pretty good for the price but you can get a Pioneer for the Same price and it is way better!

This one bumps

Another great sub made by sony.
This sub is perfect, hits like hammer
and looks so good. Great design and nice features.
Had a 12" kicker and well this one bump it out of the park...

Great speakers for the money

I bought two of these for cheap and I got more than my moneys worth. I had these subs in a ported box in the trunk of my car with a 2400 watt Lanzar amp and they hit so hard they blew my box apart. I had to reseal it twice. these are awesome subs for the cost.

Box

Box seemed kinda small. My Alpine Type R is Recommended for 0.7-1.0 and I got this one. I just seems like its more for a 10. It puts out, I don't have a complaint about it. Great box though

Really good for the price

I've had 2 of these subwoofers for about 4 months now and have had no problems whatsoever. At first I had an old Clarion head unit with a sony xplod amp and they sounded pretty good and loud, but not great. Now I have upgraded to a Pioneer Premier DEH-490iB which I bought from here at sonicelectronix. They sound really good now with the same 2x 165w RMS sony xplod amp. For the price, they are a lot better than I expected. Loud and clear, after a while it really hurts your ear drums when they are in a correctly sized and ported box. My truck's back window, the mirrors on the doors and some other parts of the truck rattle now when I turn it up.

Starter Sub

I use to have a pair of these hooked up to an old style 1200 watt Rockford Fosgate amp, it sounded good, until I upgraded my amp to an 1800 watt and melted through them. These subs took a beating, but couldn't stand up to my new amp. I would recommend these subs only to someone just starting out that doesn't have a whole lot of money to burn.

this is a very good sub it hits hard and will be good for a first set of subs. when u turn it up really loud it sounds kinda of distorted. i had 2 12 in in a banpass box with a 1000 watt sony amp and was very good in a small car.

Great subs for the money

I bought these subs in a sony package and i was amazed at the quality. They came in a sealed box which really hit hard, these subs are a great deal just pair them up with the sony amp and a decent box and your all set. I had one of the loudest subs in town and could be heard blocks away until someone jacked them. These subs are completly worth it.

Great Sound

Filled box with fiber and mounted Infinity Kappa 12". Compliments the music perfectly with 500W mono amp. Plenty of boom if you want it.
I sealed inside seams whether it needed it or not. Would have been tough to fabricate myself for the price. Good value

Good Box

This is a well built box. Very sturdy. Accidentally dropped a few times and it didn't even phase it. I used it with a 12" Alpine Type R and it did ok for being sealed. Of course after I went to a ported box, I got a lot more output out of the sub.

Great box

Recommend this box, nice lows and tight Bass do not hesitate to purchase!

Review

Good product, serves it's purpose, Sonic is a good company to do business with!

Great box

This was a really great box, it was well built and was airtight. Carpeting was very nice. I used this for an Alpine Type R 12" was all I could have asked for. I have now upgraded to a ported box, and of course it's a lot louder than this but hey, it's ported. I would totally reccomend this box to a friend.

Pretty good

For the price I don't think you will find a better box. Better quality than I expected.

Good Things Come in Small Boxes

This sub box is great quality and housed my 12" Solo Classic and it booms.

There are many better alternatives.

I picked these up because I needed a cheap pair of subs for a friend's car, and he insisted on Sony when we were at B*** B**. We ended up taking them out and now they're sitting in my room. Obviously, being Sony, I didn't expect any SPL beyond making the seats in his Dodge Calibur vibrate a bit, but I was hoping for as least acceptable SQ. Nada. We tried running them off a Sony Xplod 1000.2 amp and off the VA Audio VAAM1600 I recommend to most of my friends looking to start off a system. They barely hit at all on the 200RMS each from the Sony amp (which was to be expected, at half their rated power) and I was afraid they were going to rip when I put 400RMS each to them with the VAAM1600. I was hoping after a one-week warm-up period at 50% they would be able to handle the better amp, but even then they were distorted and starting to sound like his older, blown out pair.

For what a pair of these costs, go out and buy a single 12" Alpine Type-R or spend a little more for a pair of Alpine Type-S's. You'll get about five times the volume, ten times the sound quality, and they'll last about 4 times as long.

I must admit though, these are more stylish than the Memphis, Magnum, Digital Audio, and other trash subs a few of my friend's have brought to my doorstep asking me to find an upgrade to. However, looks are hardly a reason to buy anything in car stereo, as the guy I bought these for has finally admitted.

X-Blows

I have two of these in my truck powered by an alpine 250-2 amp. They are ok for your first set of subs. They hit pretty hard and are fairly loud. But once I turn the volume up, the amp shuts off. These are ok, but i'm upgrading to 2 15 inch orions.

Good sounding sub but can't take a lot of abuse

I've melted through two of these so far, they are great sounding sub woofers and they hit hard but if you play them at too high of a level for too long the voice coil will melt out of them and they;ll just cause excessive stress on your amp and even cause fuses to blow. I recommend pushing less than the maximum rms wattage into these and you shouldnt have a problem. Like i said, great sounding sub but definitely not competition grade or anything like that.

12" sub box

It came quick and was exactly as described. The fit was great.

Sony X-plods the thumps in my eX-plorer:)

These 12's are so fresh & so clean, I used to roll & thump Cerwin Vega's in the old school,but what can I say,it's a whole new world with these badboys...

Good box

I have a eclipse ti in this box and it sounds good. Well made box thanks Again Sonic Electronics!

Great box

Fit well in the trunk. Perfect for small cars. Super fast shipping.

good little box

The box is perfect for the simple enclosed box setup. The volume is small, so I just added some polyfill and now the box makes the sub's bass sound clean, with a good solid punch. So having polyfil will help with subs that need the cubic vol, if getting this box.

single 12 box

Completely sounded like crap, even though it was the specs for air my manufacturer recommended.

Great performance, great cosmetics!

When I purchased a 12" Alpine Type R sub, I looked up the recommended size to mount it into. I decided to go sealed for sound quality (tighter and punchier bass) over ported for loudness, and went with this box from SonicElectronix because of its low price. The box looks great, feels solid, and best of all, my Type R POUNDS in this thing! I am very pleased with my purchase.

Great deal!

This box was the cheapest one shipped on SonicElectronix.Com so I figured I'd get what I paid for with it. But the box is put together very well and houses a 1000 watt sub without much air loss at all. I would get this box if you need something cheap and functional.

Great!

I would recommend. Very simple. Works great with my alpine sub!!

12 in sealed sub box

Well built. For a good price. My 2 ohm alpine sub sounds crisp & clear. Nice speaker inputs. Was VERY satisfied with product.

good buy

The quality of the box is very good. I'm happy with the results. The picture shown is exactly what you get.

Great Value, great sounding box

Great Value, great sounding box

Perfect 300W Overbuildt Class D Amp by Pheonix Gold

This amp is perfect for those wanting clean power from an overbuildt amplifiler that seems to be made to last over a decade. I think the LPL44 remote amp volume control is the best even though the continiously variable subwoofer controls seem to be obsolete to the newer stage knobs (volume control knobs with clicks as power increments.

Overall, this is the best amp I've ever owned and sad to see that Pheonix Gold is no longer a viable competitor in the market. I first discovered the brand at high-end consumer electronics retailers. I mean the place that works on the big dawgs (BMW, Lambo, Benz, Ferrari).

Would recommend any new Pheonix Gold amp to anyone, they're great!

Well made box

Well made, seams are glued well and carpet matches pretty good with most trunk carpets. Allows sub to resonate well but doesn't take up your whole trunk.

simply awesome

I hooked this up and at first there was no noise at all. messed with all the knobs and volumes and after they must have warmed up they scared the hell out of me with the sheer volume of what they put out.

after some tuning 2 of these hooked up at 750W RMS sounds beautiful

SAonic 1 sq ft subwoofer box

I initially purchased this as a temporary test box, but due to the build quality, have not had to update, what an outstanding bargain !

very nice

for the price this is a very nice box i have a power acoustik pw-2 in it and it sounds amazing. very solid construction

It was decent need a better amp apparently

I bought two of these for My 2001 Celica and have a Jensen VM9312 head unit and they don't seem to hit very hard at all with my 1200 watt xplod amp, I hear that a new amp would be good. The only downside is the Single Voice Coil, they are good for the price I got.

this is a good bass product

i have this set up on my sony xplod amp and this thing really deliver that extra bass to your system

Sony X-plods the thumps in my eX-plorer:)

These 12's are so fresh & so clean,I used to roll & thump Cerwin Vega's in the old school,but what can I say,it's a whole new world with these badboys...

Nice box X-)

Nice evenly cut opening. True to advertised dimensions. Decent terminal. Careful not to overtighten screws.

Really good buy!!!

I bought a pair of these 12" xplod subs for 100 bucks, hooked them to a Xplod XM-ZZR3301 Amp in a sealed box running 600 watts RMS. Total was $100 for both subs $100 for the box and $148 for the Xplod amp. So $350. I couldn't be happier with this system. considering the system in my other car is two JL Audio 12W3v3-4 powered buy a TMA T1000.1 just one JL W3v3 cost $409. So for a fraction of the cost of my other system this is one wicked slamming stereo. Don't waste your money buying name brand stereos go for the budget build you wont be disappointed. Way to go SONY. and I never use to like Xplod before I bought this system

Sonic Sub Boxes 1SL12-1.0-BLACK

I love this box! I have owned and tried several variations of single 12" enclosures and for my needs this was the most versatile. Being as I am an adult with a family and a life I cannot completely dedicate space for the 'system'.I can throw this in the back seat or in the rear hatch.If I'm bringing home the bacon, eggs, milk, etc from the store I can always move the enclosure if needs be and don't have to strain or unbolt anything. The sound is tight and punchy. Its small and movable. The carpet is good quality and the construction is top notch! The binding posts leave a bit to be desired for me, but you can upgrade them easily yourself if you so choose

Good Box

Quality built box. Good sound and clean hitting bass. Only have one 12" and it sounds like 2 12"s.

GREAT BUY

awesome buy for cheap. it suported my two ten inch sub woofers. great value!!!!

...........

overall good sub. decent sound quality.

Phoenix Gold

Really good for smaller amps.

great

ordered this product 6 months ago and its perfect, nicely enclosed nice and sturdy. Id recommend this to anyone with a 12" sub who needs a full enclosure.

I just purchased this item for my Pathfinder, and it sounds great. Everything went together perfectly, and delivers very clean bass. For the money, this sub system takes the guess work out of it. Shipping was very fast, and packaging was more than adequate. Thanks

Great Deal

This amp puts out a ton of power and the sub is amazing. I have a subaru impreza and with it in my trunk it shakes the whole car pretty well. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a great system at a cheap price.

best deal ever

so i ordered this bas package a couple weeks ago and i am satisfied for the price and for the sound the 1300 watt sony xplod sub hit really hard and amp pushes plety of watts without draining the battery i think this was the best package i ever bought for $150. i postivly will make another purchase from sonic electronic soon.

good box

I really liked the box. Bass was really tight and precise. Pros: tight bass and hit real hard sounds good in SUV also it was a little small for me but if you are tight on space as i was, this box is the one for you. Cons: Little small. It will slide around a little, so take my advice and mount the box down or you could velcrow it to the carpet other than that it rocks

Basic Good Box

I bought two of these to house my Infinity Kappa Perfect 12d VQ subs. They fit great and looked good. One of the boxes has a slight leak of air when in use from the top where they "glued" the corner...this I will fix later with a sealer from the inside. Other than that...worked great!

great value

well made/ great price/sounds awsom !

great sub box

I could not make one for the price I payed for the box. The workmanship was perfect. I use it everyday.
It is hard to find a good deal today. This sonic sub box is a perfect 10 !

Awesome box! But get a grill!

I love this box. Bass sounds loud, clean, and punchy. The hook ups were high quality, as were the seals. Just be sure you get a grill if your sub doesn't come with one. I didn't, and taking the whole thing apart just seems like a pain. Also, get baffling if you want it.

Good kit

This is overall a good kit, not much more I can say, its obviously not the best kit ever made, but it gets the job done.

Great Kit for the job

I purchased this kit to install my Dual car radio with my Dual power amp. Everything went well with the installation and the end result was a great sound system at a reasonable price.

Fine Product

I found this package to be an excellent choice. I drive a smaller vehicle and was completely satisfied with just what I got. It was exactly what I was looking for, and would recommend it to anyone. For the price, I don't think it gets any better then this.

Solid Box for the price.

I have an alpine type R in this box and it sounds great. No issues with splitting or separating even with a 1300 watt infinity amp pushing the type R. Very great value. I would have more in just supplies if I were to make this myself. I would highly recommend this product.
