Heavy Duty!
I would recommend this product for the guy's out there that are serious about their music. If you got good, high quality subs, then this box will make them perform to your sub's max output with out worry of blowing up your box.

product worked for my new hifonics subs. that will be a winter system for my ride so i don't have to keep my main subs in all year round. i really like it mostly because its has black carpeting.

The Box that Rocks
Appears to be fairly well built. Arrived with a little dent and a tear but its too little to bother with. Sounds nice but doesn't hit as deep as I would have liked. Small size however, leaves me some room for a couple of bags of groceries. Three stars for durability since I've only owned this for about a month.

Keeps blowing me away more and more!
This sub just keeps hitting harder and lower! I'm amazed and blown away! I was underwhelmed for a while there because I realized that I actually killed my previous sub by sending a very strong and very clipped signal to it by having the gain set too high for my head unit's preamp voltage. To reach the ~250W RMS the amp is rated for with my head unit, I need the gain knob LESS than half way up. Any more than that and it starts distorting, and this is not because of the sub but because I'M SENDING A CLIPPED SIGNAL FROM MY AMP. I feel like I've officially made that step from n00b to experienced installer. I had read all the instructions and guides before and never understood what they meant by matching the head unit's preamp voltage. Now I do and I know how not to kill a sub (and/or amp, for that matter).
Anyway, I had never broken in a sub and this sub is STILL blowing me away! It's hitting harder and it does better throughout the entire range. The lower notes (centered in the mid to high 30Hz range) I could barely feel at the start are now making the car have a slow, deep vibration when they hit (remember it's a sealed box). Being a 400W sub I feel like playing it full-blast at 250W RMS is good enough as 'breaking it in' and it is just finally beginning to impress me. It's hitting almost as hard as the Memphis sub that was getting a clipped signal with a few extra watts to compensate for my bass-trap trunk (thick leather seats, kills any bass trying to come from right behind you). Right now I'm keeping my rear seat's backrest down so I can feel the full effect of the sub.
I just can't wait to give it 400W. OMG. What a great sub. If 'you get what you pay for' is true 99% of the time, the HFX12D4 is the 1%, by far!

Amazing Enclosure, Even Better Price.
Ordered this as my first enclosure, put two 12" subs in it and I haven't found a box that hits as hard and as clean as this one has. Will definitely buy from SonicElectronix again for my car audio needs.

Fast and easy great buy
I got my complete set up: 12" kicker subs box 1000watt Mbquart amp and amp kit. I have always installed my own equipment, I found it helpful that they have videos that covered some of the product they carry. There are a few shop's in Texas like Best buy and Custom Sounds that offer equipment. But the professionalism of the knowledgeable staff the price and the reliability made it clear that I wanted to do business with them.

Great product
I've had these subs two of them hooked up to a crunch 1500 powerzone amp in a sealed box and they bump!! I've had them for two weeks and still working great! I had a previous set of subwoofers that hit great lows and I'd say that these subs don't hit great lows but they hit really crisp mids and highs :) I love them either way at great price I don't mind I'll probably get a third 12 that mainly hits great lows to even out :)

Good entry level sub
Good sub for moderate power systems. Doesn't like peak power tho. Went thro 2 of them with 750 watts max. If your going to dump some power into your system (+1000 wats), subs are not the place to save some $$.

Great Speaker Replacements
I have some custom speaker enclosures built in 1975. The woofers have been replaced over the years due to the foam surround deteriorating. These have a more durable treated nitrile rubber that should last and slightly larger voice coil. The speakers sound better than the originals!

I am on a budget, like most of us. I needed a nice looking box for a reasonable price. For $52.00 you can't beat it.
I loaded my 2 12" Alpine TypeS subwoofers in it. Mounted my amp to the back and they are still going strong.

Solid Box
Ok so I bought this box because I wanted a quick sealed enclosure for my 2 JL W3's. The box is made pretty solid, true 3/4 MDF but the caulk job on the inside was kind of off but that's nitpicking. Haha after 3 weeks though of pushing my W3s the top of the box is leaking air. So not the best made but definitely a good pre fab and pretty cheap. Can't really complain. It is nailed together tho so yea..

It's a box without a hole
Solid sealed enclosure. Two of them barely fit in the back of my 02 Focus SVT 3 door. The binding posts are cheap, I tightened them as I would other posts but one out of eight wouldn't tighten because the thread tolerance is poor and it acts like its stripped, I can get some pressure on the wire but I worry it will come loose. Probably worth spending a little more money on a better enclosure but it works fine if you're on a budget.

extremely impressed
i bought a set of these to replace some blown woofers in my house cabinets. of course after reading reviews i was curious since a lot of people have great things to say. i'm running mine in some older sear's fisher cabinets with decent crossovers ( not sure on specs ) off of a technics 5.1/stereo and in stereo mode i get about 150 watts per channel.
first you have to rip the plastic magnet cover off the back cause i could tell it was going to rattle just tapping on it. i wouldnt compare these to my L5's in my 7 cube ported box, but wow they sound amazing! my wife was amazed, and my brother in law who thinks he's an audio engineer was thoroughly impressed. i can't speak for the sound in a car. if i had them in a car i wouldnt feed the pair more than 1000 watts at most since they sound so good at lower power. if you are reading this i would say do it. buy one or 2 or what ever cause they sound good and only cost 35 bucks. absolutely perfect for house stereo woofer replacement. i gave it a lower ease of use score since you have to rip the stupid plastic cover off right away

very good sub box
The box is very good at 1.25 cubic feet. I'm running 2 12's with 800 watts rms and it hasn't shattered. Wish it was 1.35 cubic to accommodate for subwoofer basket displacement but it still makes makes subs hit ridiculously hard. Polyfill helps make the box seem bigger due to mechanics and the "Q" point. I really couldn't be happier!

I've been a car system fan for many years and had alot of setups. These Hifonics Subs are more than you can ever expect from a low priced subwoofer like this one. If you are looking for a setup of two or more speakers these are the best. Great looking, powerful, CHEAP(money wise) and built to last. I have 3 of them and let me tell you they hit so hard my ears ring. Oh yea one more thing Sonic Electronix - a super glue should come with these subs cuz my rear view mirror fell right off. :)) That should tell you (buyers) that these product is worth of money. Thanks for reading this hope I helped.

This enclosure is a well built enclosure for sq applications. I purchaced to house 2 CV vmax 122 drivers and the sound quality was almost rubbery? not tinny, never a crackle....fluid almost..... call it a well dampened sound with minimal distortion. just clean bass all the way into the 20s. made sounds i diddnt know existed. if you dont care how your music sounds and just looking for loud, look elsewhere. my only complaint, 11" cutout is too small for the vmax and the black carpet is difficult to follow a line with the router.

Great Sound!
i have 2- 12 inch Memphis audio 15-M3124D's in this box each putting out 2000 watts max hooked up to a MA audio HK10KA amp rated at 10,000 watts max. i have the subs bridged and it has way too much power going to them but the box still stands up. i would recommend that when you install your subs that you put some sort of foam stripping underneath the lip so when you screw it down you wont have and leaks at all.

Not Cheap Subs!
These subs may be priced very low, but they kick VERY hard. Almost as good as my friend's Kickers. Of course it's not broken in yet so, I think it can hit harder than the Kickers pretty soon. Bought 2 of these, maxxlink amp wiring kit ($29.99 here), Autotek 1000.2 amp, and a Ground Shaker box ($59.99)! All with $200! Cheap doesn't mean bad. Get a good amp, wires, and box and you're good to go! Trust me, these will not disappoint!

great with one easy fixable flaw
because of the design or the cage. the plastic cage rattles against the metal right below it. at first i had thought i had messed up my friends subs. then i realized because of the design of the cage it made it rattle. its a VERY easy fix. just go to your local hardware store and get some all purpose silicone or caulk and put it right underneath the plastic cage inbetween the plastic and the metal. let it dry. hook up your subs. problem solved! these are great subs. for the price of the subs i think its worth spending an extra 5$ and putting silicone on it.
one of my FAVORITE subs. they hit NICE AND HARD. i would definitely recommend

good cheap starter box
i bought this box about a year ago for 2 of my infinity reference 1260w subwoofers. I have two more in a ported box. im pushing 350w to all 4 and I have to say I like this box more than the ported. you feel it more in the sealed box but lose a little on the db's but its worth it. the box is sturdy and hasn't showed wear a bit. its tuned in the lower 40's so you wont get stupid low with it but can get loud. I would recommend it to anyone on a budget or to lazy to build their own box. it comes with polyfill which is a bonus, the terminals on the back need calked but that's with about any box you buy. overall I like it and would buy again if I had to.

Installed this weekend, I did add a couple pounds of "pillow stuffing" since the box was a tad smaller then what I needed. I have noticed some flex already but im not suprised with the subs that are in it. I will add triangle shaped gussets and some "trim screw" to try and hold things together.
A sheet of real MDF (not the cheap underlayment) is $32, carpet and glue around $15 so for what they want for this its a good deal that just needs some minor tweaks.

Cheap Price = Cheap Sub
I bought one of these subs just because I already had a ported box that fell within the recommended enclosure requirements. 1.8 cu ft tuned to 35 hz. First of all, the sub looks good from the front. the rear looks kinda cheezy. Its lightweight. OK construction. Installed in box. Noticed a rattling sound just moving box around on shop floor. Turns out to be the magnet cover. Tried it anyways. Powered it with a PPI Sedona 550.1 which should be perfect for this sub's rating.
The rattling sound got way loud. Immediately removed sub from enclosure and ripped the magnet cover off. That helped with the funky noise.
The sound output of this sub is pretty good for rock. If the box is tuned say around 40 hz, it should slam pretty good for the price. However, when the lows kick in, this sub falls off BAD!!!! Not good for Rap or Hip Hop. Sounded like it wasnt getting enough power, but I know it was.
All in all, not bad for the price, but not good enough to warrant purchasing again. Not really worth the time and effort to install these subs. Just a cheap experiment for me.

pretty good for the price
I bought 4 of these. One: to replace a sub that I blew. 2: as an experiment to see how well these subs actually are. $110 for all of them, why not? Ill call these subs EXTREME BUDGET SUBS. Baskets are plastic chrome. I have them in a 4-12's prefab separate sealed chambers. I have all each pair hooked up in series/parallel for a final 2ohm load on a RE Audio ZTX 5000.1 amp. According to my amp specs, at 2ohms im getting 1700 watts rms. Using my DMM and OHMS LAW CALCULATOR, I set the voltage so my amp is only pushing out 1600 watts rms. After 2-1/2 weeks of being easy on them to break them in some, meaning keeping volume around 15-18 out of 35.I started pushing them HARD. Volume at 27-30. All 4 are loud as hell. my kids wont get in my car if I put volume at 30. Theyre older teens, NOT YOUNSTERS. My car is a 2007 ford focus 4 door. Playing DECAF/bass songs that have very low notes I dont recommend for ling periods if time. These things heat up quite a bit trying to keep up and I have smelled the voice coils a couple of times. Maybe because I only took it easy on them for 2weeks. I would not recommend putting more that the rms rating through them. ALL IN ALL....im impressed with them for the price. My review is based on the 1 month that ive had them so far and for the price.

They're great for country and rock music but not songs with deep low bass.

Amazing Value
I have 3 of these in a slot ported ebay box in my game den being powered via a Behringer EP2500 amp wired parallel / series for a final load of 6-ohms (meter reads closer to 5-ohms which is a plus). They only have a few hours on them so they are a little bit stiff still. They are the best value out there as far as I am concerned and Sonic got them to me within a weeks time well packaged and un-damaged. Although not a typical installation, they MORE than fill a 1,000sq.ft. room with authority and will do the same in a car. I am giving them about 1,400RMS and they take it all. My ONLY complaint is the connection terminals (spade style). A little bit of soldering is no big deal though, especially for the price point these are at. Very satisfied and would highly recommend them to anyone.

GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!
This box looked great and felt very durable. My subwoofers wouldnt fit at first so I had to do some shaving, NO PROB. It sounded good for awhile and I loved it. After about two weeks, it lost its sound, went to check out the problem the whole front of the box had almost came off, Box was sealed very well, too bad they used nails instead of screws, would have been a very good box.

This is a great box. I prefer ported but my trunk is too small for it so I had to go with sealed. I'm still happy though. This had the perfect size for my 12s. Also the measurements are a little off. The box is a little bigger that the description said.

Impressed X100
I thought being broke would suck, but after i bought these subs life wasn't that bad, I drive to my campus rocking the whole parking lot! I've never been so impressed with a product until I've invest my money in these things. If you're on a budget and you want loud reliability go ahead and click that purchase button because you wont be disappointed.

Better than previous model
I have 2 of the older HFi12D4 in one box and two of the HFX12D4 in another, both in parallel, so they took same exact power and the Hfi burned up at around 250W RMS (1000 divide by 4) while these remained unaffected.
They sound great, and even though the HFi12D4 looked prettier with the chrome on the edge, and the nice pressure terminals. This one is better because this HFX12D4 actually outperforms them very slightly AND take more power so they won't blow on you at higher watts!
The HFX12D4 are supposed to replace those HFi12D4 anyway.
These woofers are a good alternative to the expensive competition woofers because they SOUND good and they are LIGHTER so the weight won't drag your car down, especially if you have a sporty car you want to keep weight at a minimal.
They're not as loud as the loudest, but they are great for lower power setups as they sound deep.
I would say they are as loud as any woofers around $100 and below price range, and have a nice bassy hit to them.

wow suprised
this is the best sub that u have ever owned. i just recently had rockfords and these pound wayy harder and they way cheaper. pros- decent size voice coil for a sub and gets all the lows. cons- would be nice if it had push terminals

nice & clean
I replaced my old box with this 1 & man what a difference. My old box was 11 years old & I didn't realize it was falling apart & with this new box I noticed an instant difference. Its a great box for the price, it holds firm & can handle the full pressure of 1100 RMS
I did have to spray a little adhesive inside for 1 part of the foam & terminals were screwed in & not exactly straight & I also had to poke holes in the foam for wires but these things are no problem. The box is awesome & I will by more in the future

Great Price Good Sub
Have had everything from W6,TypeR,Comps,CVR,IFINITY,VEGA IT,MTX 8500,ECLIPSE,RF P3,TypeS,TypeE,Coustic, W3,and more, got these ones on EBAY $48 pair and a Boss 1600/2 As I was unemployed and needed my bass fix on a broke man budget was a sceptic.I had them about 1/3 gain to break in at 2OHM. They have better than impressed me for price.Only issues as most people have said on here is crap terminals and plastic dust covers.I Put two in a Obcon labyrinth dual slot port box with 3/4 spacer for extra Cu.ft they Hit HARD. Almost better than CVR'S. EITHER remove or glue plastic basket and DON'T over power & take time break them in. I now have them mostly up on gain just trying to fine tune the bass on my Kenwood Excelon 397 is at -6 and they RUMBLE THE S*#@ out of my 2001 TAURUS. I order another pair so I can run a triple and at $75 for three it will out perform setups TRIPLE in cost. my deck cost more than subs/amp. If you Take time hook up right break em in and tune I have no doubt they will perform beyond expectation.Would probably be best uf have extra $$$ run RF 400/2,KICKER 400/2, Alpine Mrp 500,JL 360/2 OR 500/1(not slash), other wise a cheaper 1500-2000 watts monoblock or 2ch will match best for 2 of these. Watch EBAY AS WELL can get Boss/Power Acoustik/Planet Audio Etc. in that wattages around $60 and the other Namebrands Around $100. I just scored a power acoustik BAMF 2000/1D @ $93 to run three of these should push and not overpower giving a long life(longer than I will have them)

Excellent
Not only does it look cool, but it sounds great. Put it in a vented box from Sonic with correct recommended volume spec. I am powering it with an "old school" Hifonics "Odin" amp with 75 watts per channel. It produces "vulgar" bass......For that kind of performance, with relatively little wattage, it is very efficient. It is similar sounding to my Alpine single coil 12 inch. Without a scope, it is hard to tell which has lower frequency response.

I looked at these subs for awhile now my cousin got one i hooked it to my 800 watt rms legacy amp no gain in a sealed 1.25 cube foot box and it hit just as hard and my 2 duals do in a bandpass i was amazed on how great it sounded. So i bought my self 2 today will be switching out the duals for these. Get these if you are tight on money they will hit harder then kickers if you know what you are doing.

Good Sub Box
I like it, I think the covering looked good but I ended up messing it up trying to screw something into the outside. Otherwise i liked the box, my subs hit good in it.
71 found this helpful
Worth every penny, and then some
Right out of the box and into another box, lol.
I have it hooked up to an alpine mrp-m500 amp with the gains corectly set then pulled back a little, as I want to have even amounts of bass in comparison to the other speakers. This sub sounds excellent, I know you get what you pay for but this is too good! The sub hits hard and clean and can handle the s*** I give it. I have the sub wired down to 2 ohms at 500watts, which is the happy max of my amp. It handles the max power without issue.
The only drawback is that poorly affixed cover on the magnet, some frequencies make it vibrate, but it can only be heard when my trunk is open and I have my volume past 70%. Solution? Tape wrap your favorite tape along the gap between the cover and the chassis of the speaker. Viola best speaker ever! You don't get this quality at this price anywhere else.

Great for the money!
I bought 2 of these to go in a ported box. They are currently under powered by about 150 watts or so, but they still hit pretty hard in the back of an 07 Aveo5. Would definitely recommend these to anyone looking for some pretty good bang for the money.
Only one small complaint though, One of the dust caps on the sub started to come off shortly after the break in. Fixed it with some thin compound hobby glue. Other than that I love em'. Also would have been nice to have some different terminals than the ones on there but no big.

Amazing, especially for the price
My life is littered with Subs of all sizes and brands. I've probably owned 20 different ones, and currently have 4 or 5 sitting on the shelf in the garage. To me, the mostly sound the same, and I've spent $30 to $500 on subs, and they still sound mostly the same. I always like Hifonics stuff, either old school, or newer (Maxxsonics) era, especially their bass equipment.
Built a box for a friend, and decided to try this sub. WOW, just WOW. A great solid sub in general, but for the price, HOLY COW. The thing just slams, and is responsive enough that it can be subtle too. And its not even broken in yet. Powered by a Hifonics Gladiator 1000W amp, the combo is simply awesome. I can't imagine there being a bass section that is better than this.
Now mind you, this is not built like a competition sub, with cast aluminum baskets, 30 pound magnets, and spiders made of space age materials, but it also cost 35 bucks.
You basically can't go wrong with this product. Anyone who complains about the Hifonics HFX12D4 just has expectations that are completely misaligned with reality. Its a bargain, it sounds amazing, it has terrific texture and can handle subtle, as well as earth shattering bass, and it even looks decent.

wonderful addition
I have a 15 inch in my Yukon and wanted more db's to pound my chest. After reading many positive reviews about this sub, I decided to give it a chance. I purchased it with the 1truck12 box and added about 6oz of polyfill to the box. The sub does not come with push terminals but I do not mind. It looks good and is built surprisingly well for a $30 sub. I wired it to 2 ohms and have the whole circuit wired to 4 ohms. Boy oh boy! I feel it in my chest now! I have significantly deeper and louder bass! 2 or more of these sub's will shake your ride and make you smile. Thanks Sonic :)

Recommened
I would recommend these not bad at all for the price $30 can beat that, but if your looking into being loud and rattle other cars these aren't your subs. These are nice for little setups to have some thump, so far I ordered 4 of them blew them within 10 minutes, but I have to say nice sound quality came from them, nothing in spl loudness range these came no where close.

Extremely good for such a low price

Hits Hard Enough
I have one of these in a sealed box and it's getting 600 watts RMS. It hits the lows really good, sometimes the highs hit hard, but it could be a little cleaner. In my single cab truck it fills the cab with nice clean bass. Just the highs could be better. Haven't tuned it properly cause I havent had the time, just wanted the system in quick for a long trip. I'm upgrading to two 15's so then I'll take the time to tune it. But even for how it is quickly tuned it sounds great.

DIY Sub
I owned the HFI (previous model) and loved it. This new version is cheaper... and I can tell. I installed one and it buzzed like crazy. Ordered a second one... also buzzed like crazy. It's the plastic cover on the back. Totally pointless. Pry the cover off to fix the buzzing. Then you have a non-buzzing, crappy subwoofer.

Definitely worth the money!
Just got two of these this week. I was looking for good cheap subs, and Hifonics always seems to be there. They hit hard with the autotek atx1600.2, but i think once i break them in im going for something bigger. Owned some older hifonics subs a while back and they lasted forever until i sold them. Not the best subs in the world of course, but if you are on a budget go ahead don't be scared, they are definitely worth the money and sound much more expensive.

I have 4 of these subs in a 10.6 cubic ft ported box tuned to 32 Hz powered by a NXD5500 and they hit hard for being a cheap end sub. They have an awesome look to them, but Hifonics could have made a better basket, and changed the terminals. Overall, it is a great buy.

Got a pair of these to hold me over until I can afford something bigger/better, but these performed beyond my expectation. They sound great out of my slot-ported box, the only downside is they will overheat if you let them, but with a slot-ported box it is very easy to smell the heat, and turn them down. Longtime Hifonics fan, great subs for such a low price!

best box 4 the buck
Don't let the skimpy price fool you. This box is made very well and it's ready to go. The joints are already caulked and glued - so there is nothing more to do than mount you speaker.
It's not MDF(medium density fiberboard) like all the others, it is made from HDF; high density fiberboard. HDF boxes are typically stronger, stiffer, and lighter than MDF enclosures. The box does not require any additional bracing because of its density. It has a high an undetectable high frequency resonance and doesn't color the sound of your bass with unwanted buzzing or flexing. The HDF box is lighter than MDF because it has smaller fibers that when pressed and heated require less glue and resin to bind the fibers together.
The speaker terminals are screw type gold plated binding posts that will hold 12 g speaker wire easily. They screw into the enclosure for added strength and a tighter seal.
Just make sure that you do your math and pick the right sub for the cubic feet and stuff with poly fiber fill.

Insanely well built box.
Carpet job is top notch, Good quality carpet stretched perfectly over the box. All joints are glued and caulked well. theres no need for extra bracing here but you may add some 2x4's to reduce the airspace if needed. The gold push terminals are well sealed in place.
Hits low and hard with all sub's I've thrown at it (JL Audio 12W04's, Rockford Fosgate P312D4's, Kicker CVX12's and finally Alpine SWX-1242D's)
Don't be afraid of the price. It's a perfect price for a box of this caliber. Would recommend it to anyone.

Nice heavy, good sounding box. I would reccomend putting some polyfil to "cushion" the backfire of the subwoofer, really helps w/any sealed box and totally makes a valuable difference considering it only costs about 5-10$ more. The box itself is well sealed and well made, the connectors on the inside and out are really easy to use and once connected your wires will stay put.

pretty good subs
I bought these because I wanted to try a new brand. Never owned Hifonics before. I bought two of these and a Hifonics 1000d amp to put in my 98 GMC Sierra ext cab. I haul my kids around sometimes and had to buy a dual 12" Pro downfire box. I also bought 1" spacers to get a little less depth, and stuffed it with polyfill for more airspace. I still think the box is to small for these subs. The set up sounds pretty good, but obviously not as loud as the 3 MA Audio 12"s in a triple box I had to sell. That thing was a beast. Anyway, not bad for the money. I will say, try and get better terminals for the subs, the stock ones are crap.

They are a good buy if you are just starting out with audio electronics or simply if you just want a cheap reliable product! :p

Take the chance and you won't be sorry
I purchased 2 of these subs, and when i unboxed the subs, i noticed good construction and impedance was correct from the factory on both VC, cone felt pretty rigid, and the overall design was good. I wired the subs to 4 ohms using the supplied handbook with the subs...oh and by the way, if anyone from Maxxsonics happens to read this...please for the sake of humanity just put regular push terminals on the subwoofers. Spade style connectors work but are very annoying to say the least!! In any case, i put the two subs in a ported box i bought off of Sonics, the dual ported box, sounds great, very pleased for how low my budget was of less than $250, i have the 2 Hifonics subs running off of an 1800 watt max Boss Audio Onyx series Amp (Monoblock), 4 ohms-900watts roughly to both combined. I still need to find the right tuning on the amp to get the best sound but overall, I am very happy with everything and I would definitly recommend these subwoofers to anyone looking to get a GOOD not amazing sound from a small pocket, hope this helps!!!

Hooked on Hifonics? Count me in!
I just replaced a Memphis Power Reference subwoofer with this one. If you don't know about Memphis, look them up, they make quality hard-hitting subs. Well this Hifonics HFX12D4 sounds just as good and may actually even hit harder. It's only getting maybe 200W RMS if that from my 250W RMS amp that's turned up just a notch over half way. It hits very hard, it's not broken in, and it's missing out on 50w+ RMS that I will be giving it after break-in period is over. I can't wait to hear how hard it sounds when I can give it real power. I have it in a generic 1.25 Cu Ft sealed box, it's being powered by a Directed 250d amplifier, and I have it set to hit up to around 125Hz and it handles the high notes just fine. A more than formidable replacement for the old Memphis PR sub that I was running. Hifonics was the right choice.

let me see
I bought 3 of these (under $100) and put them in my car on a SoundStream Rubicon 2500.1d wired in series/parallel and im starting the break in now for the next few weeks before i put the amp to work on these subs. Looks good mounted, don't like the input terminals on the subs very rinky. And the plastic dust cap is just for looks. But it doesn't take away from the sound they produce now. But the shake i feel in my car just tuning the amp: wow. Had 2 cerwin vegas and they didnt shake me outside the car. But these will work till i can upgrade again and for the price buy as many as you want but keep the 4 ohm at the sub, it will burn it out if on a lower independence.

Your basic sealed box
Great box. Quality carpet job, all seams sealed correctly and well, and the terminals are strong and functional. Perfect basic box to make two twelve's hit perfectly. Just remember this is a sealed box, so it will have a differnet sound than that of a ported or bandpass box, but if u want a tighter hitting bass, this box if perfect.

Poor quality
I had ordered a Kicker pk8 amplifier wiring kit and these were part of a package that only Sonic had offered. To put it shortly, one of the jacks was grounding out when I plugged it all the way in the RCA jacks in the headunit. It was causing a lot of doubts in the equipment in my system, but I got down to the root and these were the culprit. I contacted Sonic and they gladly replaced the with a set of StreetWire RCA's that worked just fine when I installed them. Thanks Sonic! But as far as these go, I wouldn't recommend them. Spend a little more and get some better ones.

Take the good with the bad
As the other reviews say, loud sub that makes decent bass for the money. Low end signs off (makes weird noise) so a subsonic filter would be handy with these subs. Bass drum kick hits hard for two twelves though. Quality leaves a bit to be desired as the terminal post on one was not attached right out of the box. Surround let go of the basket on one sub as well after about 10 hours. Nothing a zip tie and some cyanoacrylate glue didn't take care of. As said, for the price I guess you can't go wrong considering I've had similiar issues with high end subs before.

damn good buy
I orderd mine from eBay. All i have to say is wow. These things pound. I have them in a prefab box with a 820 watt spl amp in my 1993 blazer and these things really beat. I have all my bass and subwoofer gain on the deck turned down and they still hammer. Haven't even broke them in yet! A must buy for any budget system!!! Or anyone who wants beastin cheap bass!!! Good buy!!!

These woofers bang!
I purchased these woofers mainly because they were DVC and my previous woofers, JL audio's were not. I needed 3 so they were perfect and the right price. These speakers are the truth I have 3 bridged on a 1500 watt 2 autotek amp, purchased right off of sonic electronics. Even with the bass knob turned down and with the factory radio I have a rumble with the radio on anything past 5. I've only had them for 2 weeks so I cant speak on durability but reading the reviews helped me make my decision and I hope this review helps someone make theirs.

Best buy for the money!
Bought 2 cause they were cheap and this was by far my best decision yet. Running them off a 1600w 2 channel amp they get louder then most of the kid's several hundred dollar systems at school. I would recommend these to anyone, just make sure they are in the right sized box.

1 month... still going
linked parrallel at 2ohms in a 1.9 cu ft per sub rt enterprises vented box $55 on the bay, pushed by a pyle pla 2378 amp 250 watts rms at 2 ohm ( from sonic) these subs really shake my kia soul . Magnets are not huge maybe 30 to 40 oz, not competition subs by any means but for cost conscious they thump. Save yourself some headaches and take a flat head screwdriver and pop the wack caps off the back. Held on by a dollop of glue on the back of the magnet. One of mine was already off upon arrival. I've got $200 total in the amp, subs and box and am very satisfied... included booklet has good info... on cu ft for both sealed an vented boxes plus several easy to understand wiring diagrams

good for the money
I used two of these in my car in a box that had .98 cuft per chamber. These sub's call for 1.5 cuft per sub. Needless to say these subs didn't hit very low with my setup. I guess it also didn't help that they only have 6.5mm of xmax. In my particular setup the lowest note they would hit proficiently was about 40hz, loudness topping out at about 44_45 hz frequencies. At these frequencies these sub's actually got pretty loud. Just as loud if not louder than any other budget sub's I've tried! Needless to say, these subs are definitely worth it for the money, don't expect super low bass but they will definitely get loud. Only thing I did not like about these subs were the bare flat terminals to hook them up, I guess that's what you get for a budget though.

REALLY GOOD DEAL!
I bought 1 12" HFX12D4 and a 400w amp for the back of my 78 bronco for some cheap bass and I must say that I am very impressed with this woofer! My sub hits every bit as hard as most guys lower end systems with 2 subs! This won't blow the glass out of your vehicle but for the price, you absolutely cannot beat it!

Amazing deal for the price
Wow is all i could say. Got them from a local dealer in my town, pulled them out of the box, and started beating the crap outta them. Got them to add to 2 Kicker CVR 12's, and was a little skeptical at first. But as they started getting broken in, the more surprised I became with them. Seem to be handling the power quite well. Entire setup is powered by an MTX RFL 600rms, all getting the same power. Amazed at how well a $40 sub handles the power. I don't know what the RFL 600 is actually capable of, but it's pushing the CVR's and the HFX's to their limits. BUT, the only complaint I have about this sub is the dust cap, seems a little flimsy. But other than that, a rock solid sub ready for whatever you can throw at it. Will be buying again for my 8 12's setup that I plan on doing in my F-150.

Great subs!!!!
Well to start off I bought these subbs kinda on a whim because of there price and was more than pleased with what I have got. I would recomend these to anybody looking for a system that could beat kicker and stand with jl I have only found one problem with them and its my girlfriend has a hard time breathing so she doesn't like them as much as I do but they have handled everything I've thrown at them not to mention that there rated at 400 watts rms and I broke them in rather well by running them at about half for a month (hard I know but well worth it) now I'm running 500 watts rms through them on a daily basis

amazing for the price
For the price they are the best on the market I think there around $** now. These sub have and amazing sound and clarity for what it is but it can only handle about 500watts as a pair as I had them.but if your on a budget get them

robbie_d_355
I am little disappointed with the quality. It didn't produce bass with my Hifonics 500 watt amp and popped hard(not a bass hard) with my Kicker 300 watt amp. I eventually put the speakers in a real small box with an Old School Fultron ME50 amp and achieved mid bass at medium levels. It is what it is for the price. They will produce bass, just not clean, responsive, as a sub should to maintain a companies reputation.

Better than previous model
I have 2 of the older HFi12D4 in one box and two of the HFX12D4 in another, both in parallel so they took same exact power and the Hfi burned up after 6 months While these remained unaffected.
They sound great and even though the older model (HFi12D4) looked prettier with the the chrome on the edge, and the nice pressure terminals,
This one IS better because this HFX12D4 actually outperforms them very slightly AND take more power so they wont blow on you at higher watts!
These woofers are a good alternative to the expensive competition woofers because they have a good SOUND and they are LIGHTER so the weight wont drag your car down, especially if you have a sporty car you want to keep weight at a minimal.
They re not of course as loud as expensive comps,
but they still hit hard for lower power setups and they sound deep.
I would say they are as loud as woofers 2-3X their price,
but the key to most low cost woofers like these,
is to not overpower them .
So listen for their "hit" and back off your gain slightly from their,
for longer listening sessions .

Pretty Nice
I'll be straight forward I only bought these as a quick replacement after I blew my old 12s , good sub for the price well built looks decent and pretty light. I have it in a 2.0^cube ported box on around 400 true rms amp and its demanding more power. However, at 400 rms they seems like they are almost maxed out as far as I can see they are moving like crazy and the excursion is so violent the subwoofers look like theyre going to rip apart and i smell the coils getting hot at about 1/2 gain on the external gain knob I never back off of them until the amp cuts off..they draw alotta power surprisingly! They dont really get as low as other 12's I've had but I also was running a 900w rms Soundstream amp on them. I'll update once I throw my batteries back in the car for the amp and change to my Db Drive 1250. Im just not so confident that it can take a true 800 watts.

Good Product Good Sound
If any one is looking to get a subwoofer and you want something for the low with great sound. Get these! The reasons why I got these subwoofer because I'm a college student.... I'm not worry about the price. All I worry about is how much I want to spend.
I don't really care much about super loud system. I just want a good system with good sound quality. I've always have my bass on low while cruising down the beach or highway because I wear hearing aid. To be honest.... The sound quality is awesome! I don't regret getting these. I don't really care what other people think or say. This the best product I ever own. I'm looking forward to shop at sonic again in the future!

Fantastic Sub Box
A very well-built and nicely carpeted sub box, that looks great, and should prove to be very durable, as it is constructed with 3/4" MDF instead of thinner material of many other boxes costing more than this.
The black carpet makes more of an impact than the typical gray carpet, and the 5-way binding posts are much higher quality than the typical plastic spring connections normally found on sub boxes.
Very happy with this purchase, and would absolutely consider another should it fit my needs of enclosure volume. (It's not worth the extra time/effort to make a custom box, when this does the job just as well, and comes pre-lined with poly-filled and pre-carpeted)

Sturdy enclosure
This is a very well constructed box, well sealed and solid. However, mine arrived new in the box and every corner had the carpet worn off and bare wood showing. Also, mine was not lined with poly-fil and the terminal cups were on the sides rather than in the back as it appears in photos- no biggy but that did influence my decision as my install would have been a little "cleaner". All in all it sounds great and seems extremely durable.

Far superior value than other kits
I am not normally compelled to write such a lengthy review, but felt I had to given my "TOFTT" attitude with the 1 star review I had read.
The thing that drew me to this kit was the price and reality that the other inexpensive kits look like a joke (see Boss Audio KIT-2 or Install Bay AK8). I am really happy with this kit as it provides way more wire than the two aforementioned kits and provided plenty of throughput for my set up. On top of the quality, it matches my blue theme so I am happy with the aesthetics too.
One personal note on the reviews of this kit versus others: I considered the other comment about $50 kits (and looked at the NVX XKIT82 and Kicker CK8). I put thought into those kits (Pure copper vs CCA) and watched the Sonic video, but the reality is I am running a 400W RMS two channel amp (Rockford P400X2) and for not that long of periods (never more than a couple of hours). The wire never gets hot, it's still made up mostly of copper (confirmed with Belva tech support), and it saved me a ton of money.
Reality check time: Save yourself $20-$30 and get *this* kit vs others if you are running less than 500W RMS.

Budget sub that hits the lows.Used as a shop subwoofer. Read review for details
I was looking to take on a simple project: Can you build/assemble a dual 12" subwoofer box for use on a 5.1 channel home theater receiver/amplifier system set up in my shop. So I purchased two of the Hifonics HFX12D4 subs and a prefab dual 12" vented box. Powered with an external class d amplifier that pushes 300 watts I had it together in less that an hour and mounted on a shelf in my shop at home. The subs are still breaking in as I do not listen to music in the shops except for the weekends. I am very pleased with the increase in output and lower notes as I get more and more play time on them. It is a great sub for what you get dollar to "boom" wise. For my application they work great. Service and shipping time was fantastic from Sonic - only 2 days to my door.

Sounds good (for the price)
The main thing I want to say in this review is; make sure you know what you are getting. With plenty of air space (2 cubic feet per sub) and no where near the peak power (around 100 watts RMS) per sub they sound great and should last a long time. Buy you cant over power these things on a cheap amp and expect them to last. I built a 8 cubic foot box ported at 34 hertz and ran 4 of them on an Alpine MRP-500 and they got very LOUD. http://imgur.com/3pw384k I would also expect them to last a long time at this power level, but don't know for sure as this was a build I did for a customers vehicle.

Great DVC Subwoofers!
This is my third HF dvc 12 inch subwoofer. Not because they are blown or quit working but because they work very well! I have them in a sealed box and listen to all types of music.
Great buy for under 50 bucks.

Best Value!
This was already the best deal for a 3/4" MDF dual enclosure I could find, everything else in this range is 5/8".
For the price I wasn't expecting much.
However When it arrived found it is of good build quality, with decent carpet.
They already lined the inside with polyfil, more added value.
Then to top it off, found it has really nice gold plated screw type wire terminals. Better connection and added peace of mind that connections will not come undone.
This is probably the best deal/value on the internet for a dual 12 enclosure. Probably why it's backordered at time of this review.
Very Happy!

Not bad for budget subs
I bought 4 these subs as a temporary replacement. My old subs finally went out. At first they sounded ok but i had to slowly break them in. I was smelling the voice coils but after the break in i don't smell them no more. Currently running a Hifonics Brutus 30 year anniversary amp pushing 1700 at 2 ohms. I built a vented box tuned to 35. I can listen to all kinds of music from 70's music to rap. They hit pretty hard but i think it comes to how you design the box and setting your gains correctly. The only issues is the plastic cover on the bottom will rattle on the low notes so i took them off. I gave these subs four stars due to not having push terminals.

Great price and good sound
These speakers hit a lot harder than i wouldve thought. I bought 3 12s and 30 days later i have broken one and the other 2 sound amazing. Im running a boss riot 3650 mono d block amp at 1ohm with these 3 subs. Ive had to turn the gain almost all the way up along with the bass boost! Theyre power hungry woofers and im still shocked how good they sound

AMAZING SUB DIRT CHEAP PRICE
I was shown this woofer by a local car shop here in Memphis I am into car audio and we were having a conversation. I bought 2 of these woofers and have them wired in parallel to a 600 watt 2 ohm amp and boy it sure does BANG in my truck. You guys better order these woofers while they are still at this bargain of a price. I highly recommend this to anybody who was the best "bang for there buck" pun intended. I am completely satisfied with this purchase.

i just received a pair of hfx12d4 subs, and they hit really hard, i conected them at 2ohms in a kicker cx600.1, each sub is getting around 300rms, and they hit really good, i had own punch p3, jl audio w3, kicker compvr. im very impress with sound quality, they hit almost as good as the kickers compvr, i reaally recomend them, the only thing that i dont like about this subs are the old connections.

decent entry low budget sub, for a lil boom
These arent really that bad if you just need a lil boom added to your ride. i had them in a sealed box with about 1cft each and on a 600 w amp. sounded decent for what you pay.. i would suggest these best in an open cab environment, not a truck.

Over rated
This is by far a good sounding sub. My issue is with the power ratings. It says it can do 400 watts rms. I played the sub only 2 days, and it blew. If you underpower the sub to only about 300-350 watts, you may be in a safe zone.

Worst Sub ever owned
I bought a pair of these for the wife's truck and a month and a half later they were done. I tried to return these but Hifonics stated they don't accept returns unless it's a defect or shipping damage related. The "dust caps" are really there to cover up the pathetic size magnet. My uncle was impressed with the size of them when they came in. I had to remove the covers to have them fit my sub box. I sent a picture of them to my uncle which read "It's a small world after all" shocked on how small the backside was. He thought it was the funniest thing ever. These are cheap for a reason and I would suggest passing on them. If you are on a budget; there are other subs around the same price such as Boss which in my opinion are superior to these.

Hifonics HFX12D4
I have read some good and some bad reviews about these sub's, but mostly good so I decided to give them a try. And I can say that these sub's does not handle wattage. I had them wired at 1 ohm on a 1500 watt mono block only giving it about 1100 watt rms, since they rated at 400 watts RMS each which should be good but they start distorting quickly and losing bass my amp is not even half way up. I even wire them at 4ohm and it's the same situation, good at low volume and losing bass at high volume. Wouldn't recommend to anyone wants good bass for cheap

Hifonics HFX12D4 Subs making it go boom!
i was planning a budget build for my sisters first car and didn't want to spend to much money doing it. I knew of these subs from awhile back and never really gave them a double look until i heard them in a car at a local shop. I was impressed how they sounded for low end budget subs, but that's just what im looking for. so i did a price research and found them here on SonicElectronix.com and said heck ill get these and im done. well move forward a week later, i installed them in a ported box to specs and used an old kenwood amp i had laying around, feeding them about 275-300 watts rms each, oh man it was very impressive and im glad i chose these lil bad boys. i would use these again and would recommend these for anyone looking to build a low power budget system that ll be perfect for a daily driver or for your first timers. these guys drop some nice boom for the price.

Just try a pair.
I needed a pair of entry level subwoofers. When I checked out the price, I was a bit skeptical. I installed them hooked up to my 2 channel amp pumping 375 watts RMS and they handled the power with ease, sounding like most high end setups. I really did not expect these subs to perform so well. They can thump so hard. But always break them in slowly. These are the best you can buy for the price!!!

A++
These are great. If you are looking to enjoy your music and not looking to set off parked car alarms from 20 ft away then these are perfect. Especially if these are your first buy. They have great performance for the price. Respected brand in my book for over 10 years.

decent priced entry level sub
got 2 of these along with a sealed box. broke them in like you should with any sub woofer. sound very good for such a cheap sub. never had any problems with them. dont know if they will truely handle the full 400w rms power or not. only ran about 300w rms to each of them. very pleased with how they sounded when playing rock/metal (METALLICA) nice bass drum hits. sounded pretty good as well on pop and rap music. overall a good deal! id recommend them to anyone on a budget that wants some decent bass.

Good for Entery level
For a 12 inch subwoofer, If you expect competition performance out of this sub, don't get it, if you want just something for the low end of your music, this works well for just that. This is entry-level, so don't expect to blow the doors off with this, however it does have good sound.

Cheap price, cheap subs
Don't buy cheap these cheap subs, If you want to install them without amp you'll be fine. I hook up with a 600 watt amp hooked them up to 2ohms. Subs only lasted 2 minutes into song and then burnt out. They look good but speakers suck.

Decent for the Price
Subs hit hard sometimes, I feel that they have a decent frequency response as they only hit some bass notes hard and others not so much, seems good for the price, it's pretty good.
You get what you pay for I'd say! I may need to run a better amp or better EQ though so who am I to say.

Best Budget Subwoofer
Best subwoofer in this price range. Got one of these as a temporary sub, hook up to a Fosgate R1200D wired to 2 ohm, gain half way (400 rms). Great flex and deep bass tone for the price. Do not run over 600 rms as this sub cannot take it's peak power.

Surprised by performance
I had always been a JL guy at heart. I've owned mtx,fosgate,image dynamic and the list goes on. My budget is tighter than it used to be. This sub competes with those guys and at about 1/3 the cost or more. Deep sound crisp sound but can hit fast too if you like that double petal bass sound. I will buy more for my other car.

Blew up one of my mtx so i tried out 2 of these with a rockford prime r500-1 and immediately noticed quite a difference. Very nice at low to mid volumes. For a low dollar system that still pounds these haven't disappointed.

Great subwoofers for the price, love these Subs
I've been a car system fan for many years and had alot of setups. These Hifonics Subs are more than you can ever expect from a low priced subwoofer like this one. If you are looking for a setup of two or more speakers these are the best. Great looking, powerful, CHEAP(money wise) and built to last. I have 2 of them and let me tell you they hit so hard my ears ring. That should tell you (buyers) that these product is worth of money. Thanks for reading this hope I helped.

Good Value Slow Shipping
good product had them before but blew them(my fault bad crimps) only part I don't like are the speaker connections but you get what you pay for and I knew what connections they had just something to be aware of. Only negative is they came in 4 days late wouldn't suggest ordering from here if you need something on a specific date. I didn't need them fast so I wasn't too worried about it and maybe it was just a one time thing that something got here late. this is the only thing i've ordered off of here. DEFINATELY DONT PUT 400 WATTS RMS TO THESE. I out around 250-300 each and that's fine. also don't push these too hard for too long(2+ hours hard)

Autotek SS2500.4
This AT2500 has been doing a great job improving my stereo, it's a cheaper 4 channel but I wasn't worried about having some dyno-proven amp to power door speakers and some compression horns but this amp is doing its job powering 8 Compression horns and making my car significantly louder. a great choice to going on a cheaper route to improve loudness and sound quality when paired with a better head unit or EQ.

Great Value Amp Wiring Kit!
The kit was great! Super budget friendly kit and easy to install. Would be good if there were more length to the wires but it's $40 some odd bucks so it's an acceptable compromise. If you want to get into a stereo kit cheap buy this kit!
Great subwoofer
Subwoofer is nice it hit real hard and i like and I love the price can't go wrong with Sonic electronics
Great value for cost very lightweight though and baskets rattle under excursion
Sound good on 250 to 325 rms I would not put a realistic 400 rms to these
But overall good budget subs
