Best cheap sub i found for the cash

I had doubt`s about a sub this cheap. I bought 4 of them and put them in a ported box and all i can say is wow they sound awesome for the price and get pretty loud but they do have limits. I have them hooked to a hifonics brutus bxi1610d in a 2 Ohm load and if turned up to loud you can smell them but for the price there not bad but if you want ground pounding bass look to other subs but if your on a budget & just looking for something to get by with there worth the cash....

Pretty Good - Run them at 200 rms and they are fine.

I purchased one of these speakers at a liquidation, which cost me more.
I built my own box to my specs because i like bass around 20 to 35 hertz.
My box is 3.92 cubic ft with a 4 inch port, tuned it to 25 hertz. with this speaker it really pounds some those low low bass songs.

Songs used: "I'm Goin In" - Lil Wayne, "6 Foot 7 Foot" - Lil Wayne
"It's Goin Down" - Yung Joc "Blueberry Yum Yum(Chopped and Screwed) - Ludacris". Some songs from Birdman, of course "Late Night Tip" - 3 6 Mafia. "Oxycotton(Chopped and Screwed)" - Lil Wyte
"In Da Club " - 50 Cent. "Hypnotize & White Girl" - Young Jeezy

These are just a few I could remember

Great Value

I own 2 of these, with a sony 1600 watt mono amp. They are a great buy for anybody wanting good sound with a low budget.

eh not to good :/

i hooked 2 of these up and ran them at 300 watts rms each and the second day of playing them they started to bottom out on a few songs and they almost blew :/ but on low volume these really compliment the music but if your looking for low and loud bass these wont do the job as well as others

greatt sub veryy satisfiedd!

This is a great deal for the price I got two hooked up to a 800 watt kenwood amp giving 230 rms to each sub and its beating up my trunk like you wouldnt believe people even been askin me if they were two 15"s!! I think there loud and meet most peoples expectations, imo great buy you wont be disappointed..planning on buying two more in the future and a bigger amp but for now im defenetly loud with these

this hifonics sub was great

Great sub for the money!

good price

These are good speakers. For the money. I like them I would recommend them to somebody else.

Best Bang For Your Buck!!

For the price, I dont feel you can beat this speaker.
It is crisp, clear, and best of all, HITS HARD IN A PORTED BOX.
I built the box to Hifonics specs with the proper volume and port size, and I am very happy with its performance. I have delt with many high end, high dollar woofers and Im just amazed at this little cheap guy.
I am giving it roughly 600watts RMS and 1000Watts peak with no distortion, just clean hard bass. I was unsure about giving it this much power, but it handles it very well. Its all about the box and amp. Dont skimp on a box, get the proper volume and port size and this sub will impress you. Bass, I love You plays amazing and this woofer can MOVE SOME AIR. Thats all I have to say.

I love em

These subs far exceeded my expectations for how much I paid for them. I have these in a fat ported box in my Civic with a Boss GT1500D. All it does is rattle everything and make everyone laugh. Unfortunately, the frequency response isn't quite up there with Kicker or other top brands. They quiver a bit in hi-bass, the mid-bass in these are great, but they kinda bottom out when it comes to low-bass. Surely, they earthquake on low-bass but its just not quite up there with other subs. But all in all, they are still a definite GO for how much they cost. So buy em =]

hifonicsubs

I have 4 hifonic 12d4 on a planet audio 1600 u can here it a mile looking far a hifonics 2600 watt amp

love them

I have 2 of them hooked up to a 2000 watt amp pushing 600 to each sub thats max power and its crazzy u can here the 4houses down from mine loud and clear iv been running them like that for year now nohing went wrong yet worth the money

Love Em!!

I have 2 in my blazer hooked to an 760 watt pioneer, they sound great, I'm very satisfied.

149.5 db

I have 6 of these in a ford explorer in a 15 cube ported box tuned to a 30 hertz note. they are fed by a nappy precision power 2000 watt amp. People ask me what i have, i tell them hifonics, they kind of shrug and walk away but when i rip the volume knob they coming running to hear them. IMO for the money there an excellent sub for any use. Till then keep bumping my friends.

AWSOME!!!

first of all this is a great over all subwoofer.heavy rubber surround,thick cone,a MASSIVE spider,sewn tinsle leads,and push down terminal conections overall a wonderfull buy for the price. I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND this subwoofer for anyone looking for a deep bass,hard hitting,awsome subwoofer.

its ok to say it sounds good

i got 2 of these and there decent, i've heard way better and i'm 13 years old but that doesn't matter if your on a super tight budget and u have to get Wal-Mart quality this is 10 times better and it's worth the buy

Seriously

Ok so I was very unsure of buying these subs, I got 2 of em for $50.. and that alone should make anyone unsure lol, but I blew my old subs and needed something quick and cheap so I got these.. I WASNT an idiot and hooked them up to max rms and try to slam them to max the second day I got them.. I know you have to break subs in, so for about 5weeks I kept these at roughly the same low to medium volume. i have them hooked up to a Rockford P500.2 which is 250w RMS @ 2ohms x2.. I kept my bass knob at a little less than 1/4 of the way up.. and after the breaking in period I could notice a huge difference SERIOUSLY.. I can turn these to a high volume with bass boost almost 1/2 the way up and it is thunderous! I just suggest read the specs and tune your amp accordingly and these things are amazing! 2 thumbs way up

good bang for buck

I have two in a 4.0 cube ft box tuned to 34hz running on a usamps b100.For the price great buy lacks some on low end but for price wow.

good with existing car or low lvl systems

I bought this sub in July 10' and I put it in my Mazda P5 its perfect for this car this sub was made for small cars I think cuz I have 1 running exact RMS stated from a little 400 watt amp and its really clean and hits hard!! I was in my school shop which is really loud and some one heard it inside two rooms away

BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK

I bought a pair of these speakers and was amazed of the power these can deliver wow the best bang for your buck hands down!

Price does NOT equal quality

I have one of these subs being run by a DEI 600 D Class Amp in my truck. The sub puts out very clear and clean sound without raising the gain past 75%. I am planning this same combo in my car, as well as a DEI 1200 amp running two of these in the truck.

The design was a lot more sturdy than I expected for the price. They hit very hard, clean, and crystal clear (with the right EQ setting). They are also very pleaseing to the eye, set in all black with a chrome rim. These subs alone have pointed me towards Hifonics products in general.

I highly recommend these product for a person on a budget, or one that does not need a main stream name to impress.

Not Too Shabby

I bought this sub for my girlfriend's station wagon, and put it in a large custom ported box. didn't have enough power running to it for its full performance but was loud and caught the lows a lot better than I expected.
There were some downfalls to it though mostly having to do with the Look/Design of this woofer. First: the cone is a little flimsy and rattles quite a bit when its hitting some of the higher bass notes, but i wouldn't throw it out for that. I just wouldn't recommend having the sub in the passenger compartment where you can hear the cone so much (preferably install in a trunk in a nice sealed box). Second: the ring that you put the screws through in order to mount the the sub isn't just a flat piece nor is it solid, so if you reef on the screws to make sure its tightly sealed, it flattens out and could hurt the surround if flattened too much. And Third: the chrome polished basket looks good, but the ABS plastic magnet cover has the capability to rattle some too, it just feels as though its a useless part that they put on to beautify the back and didn't put much energy into making it serve more of a purpose.
All in all it does what its supposed to do, and was worth every penny.

hits hard

i recently had a soundstream t5 10" wired to 1 ohm but it broke i got one of these and wired it to 2 ohms and it hits harder then the soundstream t5. definitely a good buy

good bass for a cheap sub

I was very pleased at first with the sub until i beat on it every day with about 410 watts rms and i recently found out my amp was pushing 850 watts at peaks to it woops only supposed to be 600 peak to the sub i am going to buy 2 with a ported box and throw the amp back on them at a 4 ohm mono load pushing their 300 rms to them and 600 at peaks should last a little longer at 410 rms it lasted about 2 months . i would recommend to some one looking for mirror rattling bass just dont push to much power to it

Great Value!

I bought this sub not expecting alot but i was surprise it plays very good, for the price I installed it in a 07 civic and i'm running it off the stock head unit and it performs very good bass line run clean and there is no or distortion! so far it worth the investment.

Great price for subs.

The RMS rating is only at 300 but for 40 dollars a sub. You can't beat that!

Good overall sub

I was skeptical but it exceeded my expectations based on the price. As long as you don't over power the sub it sounds great. I have one in my civic hatch back with 200w power it and it really does slam when I want it to without the fear of it exploding. It's more than worth the small price you pay for it.

Great sub

i just got 1 a couple of days ago and i gots to say is it pounds!! i got it hooked up to a 600 MA amp (great amp). it hits alot better than my crappy other sub. im gettin anthor one soon!! get it you will love it for the price

not too bad

These subs are not too bad. They have their pros and cons. They hit pretty good for a 30 dollar sub. But the prob with them is that they smell. I have a 1000 watt hifonics amp running two of these subs and each sub is getting about 250 watt rms. they are an alright sub....but idk if i would buy any more of them again

can't handle it

i gave one 250rms at 8 ohms and it fried in less than a minute

Eh..

Its an ok product handles the power to a certain extent, cover is this cheap plastic with a stamped out basket that can cut most objects. I have six of these hooked up to a mojo 2000d, they hit just not enough. Defiantly needs more excursion. But if your a beginner buying these for some bump, their ok.

HFi12D4 subs

these subs are good for beginners they are good product

Nice Subwoofer

His Sub is well worth it for its money. i would recommend it.i have never purchased a sub for such low cost that outperformed the higher brands. i am really satisfied with this product and would recommend anyone to look no further for a sub.

excellent

this sub sounds great, took a couple days to break it in and it bumps loud! i only have one right now because i am waiting for my other, it is being powered by 600 watt amp and sounds so good. cant wait for my other!
overall very good product and i am glad i got it for the price.

Amazing!!!!

At first i didnt expect that much from this subs but when i put this bad boys in a ported enclosure and hooked it up to my hifonics bxi 1206d at 4 ohms oh my lord!!! these are deep loud and they have alot of clarity really good subs for the price i recommend this to anyone that wants big loud bass for the cheap price there offering right here at sonicelectronix...

hfi12d4 awesome sub

i have been installing and buying systems for the past three years so i know i good sub when i see one. this here is an awesome sub for the price. if your looking to build a budget system start with this. i used to own memphis 12's that costed around 100 a piece and did not hit as hard as these. just make sure you pair them with a decent amp at least 500 watts each sub. so yeah its an awesome sub

True power

I have 8 12s and these two are the loudest and hit the deepest. They hit louder than some 800watt subs I have. I recommend this because its a cheap price and you get a very nice product. the baskets are nice and shiny if you want to invert also. So many people have looked at these go wow they must have cost like $120. This shook the whole 2nd floor with 75watts A+++++

price

I bought these two months ago, from Sonicelectronix and the price was only 39.00 so look some where else b4 you buy here.

to help understand

This is a great sub for the price but people should know that you haft to the right box if it bottoms out the box is to big if it pops loudly the box is to small, ported boxes move alot of air so you can make any sub bottom out, Hifonics is cea certified for true power so you can bash a company that has over 25 years of experience, plz build the box to there specs usually a 1.2 to 1.5 cuft box will do

alright sub

Thought it sounded pretty good as it beeing my first sub, but as the weeks went by i became a little less satisfied.. the plastic backing cover thing rattles as the bass hits..highly annoying.. other than that, i would recommend buying this sub as a starter and its cheap price,as they say..you get what you pay for.. i will be up grading soon.

simply amazing

Bought 2 of these almost a year ago and they still sound the same as they did when I installed them. loud, low and clean in the proper enclosure. I custom built my enclosure at 1.8 cubes and 35Hz slot ported and they sound amazing. I highly recommend these for a beginner and the medium daily driver.

GET THESE

i had 2 of these hifonics hooked up on both voice coils in a ported box with about 250 rms on each sub n they suprised me and my friend who had 2 kenwood kfc subs and even he thaought they were louder than his kenwoods n i paid only 60 for both brand new on another website n he was pissed so if ur looking for sum cheap subs that sound good and will fill ur car with bass get these. i dont get where people say these subs r crappy they must not of hooked um up right . I also recomend the 10 INCH RE SRI10D2 they r really good quality and sound subs

Great budget bass!

I got my hands on these and decided to give them a go. Ive always rocked old school Orion subs, and love them.

I wired 2 of these down to 2 ohms, custom sealed enclosures, I'm doing hair tricks in my 87 Ranger, giving them 200ish RMS a piece and they pound so hard.

Im impressed no doubt the best bang for your buck.

My next major overhaul will be a complete Maxxsonics build.

hits hard

Hits hard and lower than a a lot of subs that cost more. Had two on a 1000 watt amp and they are insane loud. For the price, its great

Perfect

Can't beat the price. Had two of them hooked in my grand marquis running 200 watts rms through both of them and still hit hard and low. Will be getting these for my new car!

Good for price, don't give them too much power.

They sound good, had two in a ported box. I kept them under 200 watts RMS a piece for 2 weeks (by DMM). put in a new amp and set them to about 350 RMS and blew them in about 2 minutes with my H/U just under 1/2 volume.

Bang 4 Your Buck

I Got 4 Hifonics In My Grand Marquis And Let Me Tell You..Those Subs Bump, My Cousin Says They Can Hear Me Down The Street Before They See Me...For The Price Sonic Electronix Has Them For, You Cant Beat...

HFi12d4

I have had a lot of experience with different subs and the way they sound. When I first hooked them up I wasn't very impressed, but after a couple of days of breaking them in and getting them to loosen up some they are real loud. I have them in a 3.3 cu. ft. sealed box. Hifonics recommends a ported box since they are there lower end subs. They said that a 5.78 cu. ft. ported box was what they recommended for 2 subs; with the port being .77 cu. ft. of that space. A+++++++++ product and website.

Hits Hard

I have one in my car with a MTX300xd amp in a ported box and it hits like two.

Great Value

I bought this sub on an impulse buy because i just wanted a new sub, and boy was i surprised. This sub has clarity, loudness, and great excursion with minimal distortion and it looks cool on top of it. AAA+++++ sub for the money

Lovin Em!!!

Had them for a good amount of time now. In my opinion they look great.
they take me daily beating, not too much power though, just a pioneer 760 watt. rms every day. My experience, these are the loudest ive heard in my area, and i just love em!

GREAT

I have 2 of these in a ported box tuned to 36 hz with a TXi 7506 at 1 ohm these take it like a champ, break in time is a bit long (12hrs) but no other sub will beat it

not a good choice

I had these subs for bout 4 months in a ported box. i hated them. I got some Kicker CVRs now, and I'm pleased, but I'm still not happy. But the Hifonics wasn't even good for surround sound subs for me. If u dont need a lot of bass, get these. If your dad wants a lil bass because the stock speakers aren't good enough, get these. If u wanna make the car shake, and make sure u can hear it with all the windows down, don't get it. The motor was louder then the subs. So if you don't need a lot of bass. This is it. but dont forget, u get what u pay for.

Great buy

this is a great budget subwoofer and it has a good sleek look

HiFonics 12d4

These subs give you the bang for your buck. I had 2 of these in a ported box (4cf) hooked up to Planet Audio amp..I had 300 watts going to each and they hit harddd. my friend took my advice and put 4 in his at like 9cf and they flexed the windshield, its all about the cubic feet, if you don't have the right amount then their not gonna hit, but if you do then these will surprise the $*** out of you.

DONT BUY!

IF YOUR LOOKING FOR HARD HITTING BASS THIS IS NOT THE SUB FOR YOU.. THIS SUB WILL DISTORT IF YOU BUMP IT. BUT GOOD FOR BEGGINERS AND IF YOUR ON A BUDGET JUST HOOK IT UP TO A GOOD AMP. AND IT WILL DO JUST FINEE.

Awesome!!!!

My buddy put 2 of these in this impala and they sound very clean hit hard as ever. After seeing that and how inexpensive they are i plan on hooking up four in these bad boys in the back of my car. (built for street and show) My neighbors should at me just that much more.

best sub for the price

I got done installing two of these subs and man do they hit hard they already rattled my mirror off and i only had them on for about 5 minutes if your looking for a good sub then this is it.

Awesome Sub

Purchased this sub because I was on a budget and read some good reviews about it here. I was very surprised to hear how good this sub sounds. Powered with a 250 watt RMS mono amp in a sealed enclosure in the back of my Explorer and this thing pounds!!

Great subs

well to start off the sound quality was decent! but the plastic caps over the magnets vibrate pretty bad. i have 2 of these and for the money none is better!

Hits Hard!!!!!!!

i have 3 of these in a sealed box each chamber is 1.75 cu.ins and i have down to 2ohm on a boss 1100 watt mono block amp and i have the gain on 50% and the bass all the way up on the amp and this straight hits hard i was shock when i heard these i thought it was cheap for a beginner system. and let me tell u this aint no beginner system it has amazing lowness deep bass and i hit 158.3 on a db spl meter....i highly recommend this product

Great bang for the buck!

I have previously owned 2 of these subs, and you really cannot beat them for the cost! i have had a set of Kicker cvr's and they weren't as loud as these! I would say that there only weak point is the large ported enclosure size for a 12, None the less, I am currently about to checkout with 6 of them in my cart.

Thank you sonic electronix! once again you have proved to be the lowest on the net.

Should cost more!!

I have one with 8ohms @ 200 watts. All I can say is it sounds as good as my JL 12. And this 12 was only $40.00 I would buy again in a heart beat. You will not be sorry. Also mine is in a hatchback. Very nice sound.

good unit

Nice cheap sub, good lower bass, not high end but for $30 its good.

Not bad

I bought these for a mecp school project got them today and put them in a ready built box they hit 139.14 on the termlab I'm impressed especially for a sealed box

Great Value

For a sub under $50 dollars this thing is a steal, great for entry level systems.

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM

Very tight bass, Bang for the buck is amazing. Super good buy. I want to buy another one.

Very Respectable

I was a little worried about purchasing a entry level sub from Hifonics. I mean $35 with free shipping? What do I expect? WOW was I surprised! I have this sub is slot port box 1.35 cubes tuned at 40 hz and it thumbs great. I would not say you will shake the neighborhood but you will be jammin in the cabin. If this sub is in your budget, don't hesitate. My only gripe is that the spring terminals are for high gauge wire. In other words, skinny. Peace.

Entry subs

Great cheap subs. No crap from w*****t ty! I have 2 of these currently and they do pretty good. Great just to add some bass to ur everyday music. They can shake everything in and out of the car. I have them hooked to a little Nitro 1k watt amp wired down to 2 ohm. For the price you cant go wrong. They are not Fi or Dc Audio's but for now they will do lol. After a few days of breaking them in they did get louder but I cant max my amp on them or they just distort to all h**l. I would say grab a set if you dont wanna spend a ton of $$$$. Great bass for the buck.

Best bang for buck hands down!

I have two of these with 500 rms going to each and they hit hard. They sucessfully removed my rearview from my windshield! There is a little clipping when turned up, but thats because they are 30 somethin bucks! If you want audiophile or competition quality dont get theses. If you want awsome bass for almost no money GET THESE!

descent for the price

if you're looking for a cheap system this is the right sub. It brings 300 watts rms to bump to for cheap

Very good Sub!!!

I have used the older Hifonics hf12d4 which are basically the same as these and they lasted a good while. I was powering 2 of them with a Memphis pr1.1000 with about 500w RMS. I got them from my step bro which he had for a few months before me. When I started using them they lasted for about 7 months and thats usually turning up the gain half way and riding home in the country with the bass all the way up to just see how loud it would get.What happened was the voice coil burnt out and the other one still works. My step bro tested them and they hit about 130db. Which is really good subs for such a cheap price. The sound quality was about average. I sold my Memphis 1.1000, 1f efx cap, and my one Hifonic sub to my step bro. My next system is going to be the $60 pioneer subs, boss cap 2f, and a phoenix gold v8001 for $180. Its all costing me $330 because of the lowest price guarantee which makes me shop at SonicElectronix.com that much more.
--For this sub I highly recommend powering it with about 300w RMS but not too much gain.

Let's talk about bangin!

I have 4 of these hooked up to a kicker 1000x 1 in a closed box and it's crazy! I am a 15's type of guy but I own my block right now with these!

Good entry level sub

this is a good entry level sub for people who like bass. just put it in a nice 2-2.5 cuft ported box and it will do fine.

Great buy for cheap!

I just got the older Hfi 12d4 subs and i can be heard a city block with only a 600watt infinity amp. They can handle more power i'm looking for a new amp now i have them in a vented box

great speakers

i bought these last yr i gave it some time so i could write a review but like everyone else say they are for sure good for the price i have these bridged on a crunch 1000 watt amp 2 12's and they do sound great and it is a clean bass hit so it is just what i want for my truck to sound nice and clean
