great sub

I got this sub in mail on time and it sounds awesome. It is one of the best 10s out there.

Its not the loudest ever but it is only a 10" sub with 400 watts.

I recommend it to anyone looking for sound quality, can't beat the price from sonic

Good but not long lasting

The rubber ring leading to the cone keeps ripping!!! This is my 3rd speaker, sound not very durable every 3 months got to get a new one!!

Great little subs

My current set up consists of two of these in a small .60 cu truck box in my older F250 pickup. In the beginning I had them running off a Lanzar 800 watt amp and they sounded very nice for such low power usage. But now, let me tell you, these subs are marathon runners and can handle being run off a much much larger amp such as the Orion HCCA-2400 which I have them connected too currently. The gain is set at about 25% as I was being cautious not to blow the cones off them and I have to say, they hit very hard and draw alot of attention. Soon I will be adding 2 more of these subs in a 4x10 truck box instead of the 2x10 I am currently running. Once there are 4 in there, I'll be wiring them up to run at 1 ohm.

This is a great entry level sub!

I installed 2 in their own small sealed enclosure which is about .8 cubic feet, each, in my brother's vehicle. He has used them for a good while now and its safe to say that they are fully broken in. They are each getting about 150 watts RMS off of a rather power hungry 2 channel amp in stereo mode and they sound rather nice. They don't play really low, but they are entry level 10's so that is to be expected. They are comparable to other entry level name brands out there like kicker c104, RF P1's, MTX 4510's etc. all of which I've personally heard and installed. Its purely a matter of personal preference.
These Orions do well in small sealed enclosures, although I haven't put them in a ported one. But why mess with something that works well enough? No, you will not win any SPL contests, but they do get loud for 200 watt speakers. I do recommend these, but the only thing I wish they had as an option was a DVC model. OH WELL!

good for the money.

I just got 2 of these today, I put them in a 3.2 cf vented box. I'm running them on a Kenwood d9105d 1800 watt amp at 2 ohms. I have the gain at 2 volts freq is set at 65hz and bass boost at 7. a bit over powered but they actually like it. sound good. ill post another review when they are broke in..

Incredible Price vs Performance

I was thoroughly impressed with this product. I purchased it to replace an old Eclipse Sub that wore out and could not be happier.

Facts
Vehicle - 1995 Eclipse GSX (Hatchback)
Enclosure - 1.5 Cubic FT Vented Enclosure
Amplifier - Cadence Q200 (50x2@4ohm / 100x2@2ohm / 200x1@4ohm Bridged)

Hits quite hard with my setup.
Is much more musical than the Eclipse Sub I had before.
Was extremely inexpensive for the performance of the product.

If your looking to add some bass to your vehicle on the cheap this product will do it and not disappoint.

Great Woofer

I have 2 of the 08 models and there in a small sealed box under the back seat of my extended cab. There arent the loudest 10s ive ever heard but they're probably the cleanest sounding. I listen to alot of rock and rap music and they sound really good on both. I'd recommend these to anyone. Depending on what you listen to, you could get the 15's for some real low and loud.

good for the money

got it in a small custom truck box, works good for the money..

i love it

i think its pretty cool for a 10 i love it the box i made was bad but if its in a vented box its better and bass is just wat i was lookin for

Sounds great, takes power like a champ

I have this sub in a box way smaller than it should be in, and it still rattles my single cab toyota nearly to death on every note. That being said, I think I'm putting around 250-350 watts rms to it, as my amp is rated 500rms at 4 ohms, and I set the gain at a volume of 35 for 200 watts, but I occasionally go to 50, and it hasn't skipped a beat, no voice coil smell or heat, and it pounds. Even before I got my new amplifier and was only putting 200 watts rms to it it sounded great, just not quite enough for me. That being said, I am going to make a better box for this, and put it into my sister's car, while I can get a woofer I can throw the full 800 watts rms at, but I have recommended this subwoofer to all my friends, it's a great buy, and it's a good name brand to boot!

Always Great!

I have been buying online for some years now. I have always been more then satisfied with the service received. I would suggest anyone in the market for audio and/or electronics, to use sonic electronix.

Great 10"

All I gotta say is that for the price this hits really well. I have it paired to the Cobalt CO500.1, and they make a great pair if you're just trying to add that little bit bass to fully enjoy music.

People think its a 12"!

I have one of these in a 1.3 ported box and it pounds off only 200 watts its loud but still very clear. Great sound for the price and perfect for a beginner in car audio

Nice ten inch sub

I ordered this sub with a slot ported box and a 400 watt amp. This system sounds amazing. The bass is clear and pretty loud. The best part I like about it is that it doesn't rattle anything. Just good clear bass. I just cant believe I got that system for $170. Sonic is da shizzz!!!!

For an entry level

The first thing to note about these subs are their mechanical limitations. For an entry level driver, it is quite impressive. I remeasured the ts specs and they were very similar to the ones posted in the manual. That says a lot about the company. Being that these are the baby step subs of Orion, I am generally impressed with their performance. They do work much better in ported designs mainly due to their already higher distortion levels even at low voltage, but overall for the price they are fun to play with. Nothing I would keep for show, but again, entry level.
