OK wire if you like red wire

The following review is for BBSW167, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I received this wire because when I bought my Image Dynamics speakers from Sonic the description said it included speaker wire in the box, but when I received them there was none. I called Sonic and they sent this wire to make up for the error. I later called Image Dynamics and found out that they no longer include speaker wire with their speakers so Sonic if you are reading this you can update your description and pictures on the ID speakers to NOT show speaker wire. For the record I bought the Image Dynamics CTX65cs and the CTX4 speaker sets. Great speakers by the way. Thanks Sonic for all your great products and sound advice, no pun intended:)

Does the Job

The following review is for TN12-04, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I put my first sub in and didnt want anything special so i tried out this 12-inch and it provides a nice low end to my usual rock/alternative/electronic music. Its nothing super pumpin but a nice overall sub for those on a budget.

Great speakers! I'm using them on a pair of MTX home audio speakers that finally went out on me after years of Djing & abuse. The new ones are even better. You can't go wrong with these subs !!!

Had two of these in my 08 impala with a MTX 600w monoblock amp. Great subs, hits hard and sounds great, I have owned several different brands of subs over the years and MTX is by far my favorite

Spend a little more for something else

The following review is for TN12-04, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

These subs have a very limited range, very limited power, and just are not worth it. Don't waste your time with this entry level sub, spend a little more a get something decent. Mine is melted already.

Good extra fine wire

The following review is for BBSW167, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

This is excellent speaker wire. One wire has round insulation while the other has square insulation making it easy to identify hot and grounds. My only installation problem was I didn't order enough. I needed a quantity of 2 just to wire a single cab pickup.

Nice box

The following review is for 12SQL, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

This is a really nice box. I have a Boston Acoustics G5 in it and it pounds!!! I wanted to save space in trunk by switching to small sealed box instead of the big ported I was using previously. I thought I would be taking a hit in SPL but surprisingly I didn't. Just a gain in SQ. And I gained about 50% more trunk space.

Sounds great, no problems short of the neighbors feeling me come down the street. It is however slightly bigger than the one I was replacing. Be sure to check the dimensions closely when ordering.

Good Sub for price

The following review is for TN12-04, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I would recommend this sub if you're on a budget like i was. For the price these subs can't be beat, but if you like deep powerful bass that you can feel, then these aren't the subs for you. I really can't say much though because i'm powering 2 of them with a Autotek 2 channel class AB amp that only gives the subs 125wrms each. All in all its an okay sub for now.

good beginner subs

The following review is for TN12-04, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I've owned these subs for about 9 months now. They have lasted great through the abuse. Ive had this sub on 3 amps (dont buy kenwood amps), and in two different boxes, one in old lexus, and the new ported one in my ranger. From the beginning i was overpowering these subs by 50 rms a piece. Now, they are being run by a hifonics 1000.d amp at 2 ohms. so in short do these sound good on 750rms, No they really dont, i have to turn my radio to -2 with the gain all the way down on the amp. But i have to say Ive played these subs for at least an hour a day for the past 9 months driving back and forth to school at a excessive level and they still sound very good although they dont want to handle some frequencies now probably my fault though.

Conclussion: great beginner sub but if you want to go to the next level you cant go wrong with re-audio's se series at least that's what ill be upgrading to.

The best buy in car audio.

The following review is for TN12-04, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

This speaker is one of the best subwoofers ever made. I wont quote spl's or power handling statistics or any other such specification. I will point to the fact that this this speaker has remain virtually unchanged for 25, yes, twenty five years. In fact, I bought my first terminators in 1989. I have purchased at least 20 of these subs from 8-18 inches. The woofer has a natural tone and can accurately reproduce a wide range of bass frequencies. And yes, they can pound out 35Hz notes all day long. You can get maximum spl at around 200 watts rms, but even at 100 watts you can still pound the pavement, so you wont need a huge amp. Box size is very important for this sub. It is good for both ported and sealed boxes, as well as bandpass applications.
The only drawback is that the box size required is larger than a lot of speakers on the market. But in today's economy, this is the best value for your hard earned buck. 25 years proves it.

Bangin

The following review is for TN12-04, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

This little 12 surprised me. I had a kenwood 12 and this terminator made the Kenwood look bad. I have this sub on a 200 watt pioneer amp and it pushes it to the max. doesnt take many watts to push this sub. i have it in a 2 cubic feet sealed box and it rattles my 1996 Grand Cherokee.

I just received two of these boxes today. I put them in my 2017 Chevy Camaro. I have 2 Rockford fosgate P 2's and I have a Rockford fosgate T750X amp pushing them. Have them wired at 1 ohm. Man my system sound so good. If you dont have much trunk space this is the way to go. And the Rockford fosgate setup is amazing.

Great box for the value. I have a JL 12w6 in it and it sounds amazing. My one issue was the aesthetics, it arrived looking like it needed a bit more carpeting but for the price and sound quality i’ll take it.

Great Box!

The following review is for 12SQL, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I have an Alpine Type-X 12" Subwoofer that I had put in a ported box. It sounded great and it hit hard. Problem was that it was taking up to much of my trunk space and I wanted some back so I started searching for a sealed box.
I purchased this box after looking through several reviews of the boxes on Amazon. They appeared to be hit or miss. This box appeared solid and a different sized box from this manufacturer had good reviews so I gave it a try.
The box arrived well packaged and in perfect condition and appeared to be well constructed. The Atrend badge easily unscrews off if you would like to remove it. It had enough room on it that I was able to mount my Eclpise ZA1200 directly on to it. Great box for the price.
Now that I have my sub in the sealed box, I have some more trunk room although I sacrificed some bass (not as loud as it was) but I was expecting that to happen.
It is a great box!

Mtx is great

The following review is for TN12-04, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

This isnt the loudest sub mtx makes. But for this price range of a 12" sub, this is one of the best. Mtx audio takes pride in their audio and builds it for durability as well as quality. So you can plan on any mtx product to last as long as you want it to. And Sonic has the best prices around.

whatever sub

The following review is for TN12-04, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I bought this at a bundle with a 350w Kenwood amp from sonicelectronix. when i first put them in it hit pretty hard and put out some good clean bass but after only a month of bumpin around it started to have this ugly crackling sound at higher frequencies... wont be getting another one of these. maybe i just pushed it too hard being that it is only a 400 watt sub, even though it was only getting 150w RMS. Ehh.

Purely Awesome

The following review is for TN12-04, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I was looking for a sub to replace the blown Cerwin Vega in a home theater powered sub I came into. This had the right size, screw holes, wattage and resistance to replace it. It has been fantastic and adds a new level of acoustics to my system. MTX is fantastic, at any price, even the less-expensive end.

I've had this for about a year in a sealed box with a MB Quart Formula series amp. Not going to win any SPL trophies but at the price point its a solid, competent component with good response and sound. No complaints.

Unbeatable

The following review is for TN12-04, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Back in 1988 I worked at a stereo shop in New Jersey. A co worker built a rear deck in an Audi to hold 4- 12 inch woofers. He tried several brands that just didn't work. When he installed MTX it was exactly what he wanted. The sound was superb. Since then, I was hooked on MTX.
They are simply unbeatable.

The following review is for 12SQL, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

This Atrend 12SQL is a great box for any budget build. Even though it's listed as medium duty I've sampled various 12" subwoofers in this box with different amplifiers at various power levels and not once did it disappoint. This is a box you can install with little or no modifications and be pleasantly happy with the lows it produces.

These subs hit hard I had them in my Toyota Avalon. One thing I would recommend is running them at the recommended amp power...I was running a 1000 rms mtx amp and blew them out..using with the recommended amp power should be fine. Great beginners subs..

The following review is for TN12-04, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

These aren't bad sub. I think the 150 RMS is underrated by about a 100 watts. These are a beginners sub obviously. Good for rap R&B techno and things along that line but if you listen to metal and you want to hear the definition in the fast bass drum kick, then these aren't the best choice, they are a little sloppy.
