Very Happy

I kind of went out on a limb ordering this (came in a combo package with CTX-6.5cs the CTX-6.5 and the RE Audio XTX-500.5) I had never heard of Image Dynamics until I had shopped around for a new system for my 04 Trailblazer. I am by no means an audiophile, but I know what sounds good, and these things do. You can definitely push this thing and get your car rumbling if that's your cup of tea. I'm using it for low end reinforcement not showing off(not that I haven't).

I have never owned a subwoofer until this one. I have not been disappointed in my purchase by any means. I have this in the minimum sized enclosure that is recommended in the directions(scosche enclosure from Walmart). This has given me a great amount of low end punch, and low enough response for what I listen to and then some. Since I haven't had a sub before I'm honestly not sure what I should expect out of it. What I do know is that the low end is clean, sounds tight and has a great amount of low end.

Having this sub has truly changed what I expect to hear in most cars. It has been a completely new listening experience for me. It's amazing how much cleaner you can make your system when your 2ways and Components are not used to be the primary low end reinforcement. I highly recommend this sub.

Solid Sub!

Bought this sub to replace my JL W3 v1 because JL is no longer making dual voice coil subs with the exception of the W6 (not sure why?). Overall, this is a great sub for the price! I agree with one of the other reviews regarding the punch, it does hit more like a 8" sub, most noticeable when listening to Electronic music. This is one area where Image subs beat out JL for a 12". If true depth of sound is what you're looking for, then stick with JL. I don't think anyone beats JL when it comes to the richness of their subs, at least this is my opinion.

Overall I give this sub 8 out of 10. Great sub!

Sound Great, Very Detailed...

These are a pretty detailed sounding subwoofer. At low volumes you can still here individual bass notes which is what I use as a determining factor when gauging a subs overall performance and what my ears seem to detect as a "quality sub". Many subs only sound good when cranked, and these sound good at ALL volumes from low to flat out pounding. I was actually pretty surprised at how loud and hard hitting these subs are. I unfortunately had just upgraded my sub amp though and I melted the voicecoils on these in about an hour! That is NOT a fault of the subs, it is my own abuse of the product. I would feel very comfortable playing these with up to 300w rms, but not the 750 I had going to each of them... again, I know I had too much power going to them, they were a temporary product for me while I was getting ready to upgrade to higher power handling subwoofers... I think I may try the next higher series of these subs, if they sound as clean and detailed and can handle my amp, they are surely to be the best sounding subs I've ever owned. On pair easily with former JL w'3 in sound quality, just not the power handling. I currently have 2 re-sex12's that POUND but don't have the clarity I'm looking for so I'm thinking of plunking down the funds on the next higher series of image subs based solely on the outstanding detail of these subs I'm writing the review on.

My ONLY complaint about these subwoofers is the plastic cover over the magnets. Mine arrived off of the magnet and had worked loose during shipping. The only thing holding the entire plastic cover over the magnet was a thick washer glued to the bottom of the magnet, and then the cover glued to that washer.. looked pretty hokey cheap to me to do this. The next series up looks to be of a little better build quality in the basket and magnet structure. The frame around the edge of the subwoofer is super thin too, which I found to be quite a turn off.

Overall great sound but build quality was lacking quite a bit on this series. If that doesn't bother you, they would be a great choice for someone with around 200-300w rms per sub used. I had them sealed 1.20 cu ft.

wow

Great product Great service. Bought this woofer for its sonic abilities and it has lived up to its reputation for quality bass with sonic detail at low and hi volume with modest power. Thanks for friendly and fast service
Pros, great sound tight clean and clear sound.
cons, none found

small price big sound

running off an old PPI 200w amp, free air in my 2002 Lexus IS300, this sub sounds awesome! distinctive bass notes, hits the lows and punches like an 8".

Awesome Deal!

No need of a huge review here. Very sturdy, carpeting is great, leaves me with alot of space in my trunk. It holds 2 kicker CVR's that are 1600 watts max. Wont be dissapointed if you buy this! I've had it for 6 months and not a single problem!

Solid As A Rock

Box was bought for the Pioneer 3000 watt 12" Subs and its a Perfect Match for them plus,it saves trunk space. Subs Mounting Holes are nice cut. However,I did add a extra lining of polyfil but,it was nothing to it. "GOOD BOX" For Subs that requires small enclosures!

Great Box!

The price and quick shipping made this an excellent deal!

Impressed

I have had many complements from friends seeing this box in action and it even hits harder than some ported boxes. My friends own with the same subs I guess the filling inside really makes the difference but the only down side is that the box is rather small in person but that gives u more trunk space. Overall the box does its job just fine.

Nice box, no screws

Box is fantastic. Comes with padding, perfectly sized. My dual 12 inchers sound fantastic.

Words of warning: Does not come with screws or internal wiring. That's up to you.

Gets the job done!

This in not necessarily a big box but it makes speakers hit hard!! Great box!

Very Lavish Subwoofer Housing

Excellent quality for the price. Perfect compact rectangular prism that produces distinct clear slams. Strong and sturdy, exactly what your looking for.

Great box!

I received this box with a bass combo deal, and I wasn't expecting the best quality. But when I received it I was pleasantly surprised. It is made of 3/4 inch MDF which makes it solid and heavy and very sturdy. Its sealed nicely and I have had no air leaks whatsoever, my only complaint is the use of cheap binding posts. Prefab boxes can work just fine, you just have to pay close attention to the air requirements of your sub and that of the box.

Awesome box for the $$$

Super inexpensive, Solid construction, Subs went in without a problem.

Great Box for a Great Price.

Put my 2 Rockford P2D2 12's in here along with my Hifonics 1000 RMS amp. These things slam in my Regal. Recommendation to people with older cars and higher wattage systems, dynomat your trunk, and better yet the rest of your car. You will enjoy the quality of your sound so much more. If you have the money I say it's well worth it. Also make sure your license plates are secure on your car, no one likes trunk rattle. Overall I give this Sub Box 4.9 stars. The only thing I would suggest is maybe a second layer of polyfil, it's pretty thin with just one layer. Wasn't a big deal, I went and picked up a bag of polyfil for around $5 and lined it myself.

It's a box

What can you say?, It's a box, like many other boxes, it is kind of cubed shaped, and well, like a box.. Seems to be put together well, hook ups were provided, NICE, as far as boxes go, it is a nice one for the money. Does just what it is supposed to do, converts trunk space to loud thumping.. I'm happy with it, neighbors not so much, lol..

Perfect

Works perfectly, holds subs in place and was a great buy!

This I very well built

Bought this box in with the 2 keenwood bundle with the amp kit havent tried the amp out yet but I have installed the subs in the box an only on 70rms from my Sony stereo they hit real real good so I do recommend this product to everyone who likes really clean deep bass
Pros--none just that they have amazing bass an sound really good in the box.
Cons--none

'Heavey Hitter'

Pretty Box

A bit on the big side but it does the job and looks good doing it.
